@BearNotesApp Since I upgraded to Catalina, typing two hyphens in a code block (e.g. a comment in a SQL code block) is being autocorrected to an em-dash. Is there anything I can do to fix that? Thanks! (Bear 1.7.3) https://t.co/j693f5gumG

@chubbybannister Came up in the Times crossword last week. I nearly dropped my monocle into my marmalade.

How can it possibly take someone this long to get on a bus. Maybe they’ve mistaken it for a Post Office. #buslife
Okay, so I just saved the day by changing a £20 note for our alien passenger. Moving again. #buslife #hero
@chadfowler I first saw it on Usenet newsgroups.

Who is it, exactly, who looks at a slice of cake and thinks, “Now, the perfect cutlery to eat that with would be a single knife”?
That was rhetorical, by the way. I know the answer is, “The same people who think a roofing tile is perfect for serving gravy-based dishes”.
RT @jephjacques: "hi, I'm here to answer your rhetorical question" -every twitter rando

@applemusichelp Can’t reliably stream songs over 40mbps fibre connection where e.g. Netflix works perfectly. Any hints? Last 2 days. Ta!

@talkie_tim Do you have supplies? Audiobooks? First aid kit? Crampons and ice-axe? Number for a taxi?
RT @G_Foz: Oh dear lord, the pain they must have gone through. http://t.co/K0ruj6rtzR
I should be over in that corner, still working. Sofa feels quite tempting right now, though. http://t.co/JOIGwH578L
@vero Mmm. (Have you tried the waffles from the Belgian waffle stall in the market? I might have to go back just for another one...)

Damn it. Didn't get the upgrade blocker installed in time to stop my IE8 and IE9 boxes upgrading to IE10. *downgrades manually* *sighs*
@BristolEating My pain is that these are virtual Windows boxes I keep around *specifically* to test websites in IE8 and IE9... *grumble*

Right. Have vanquished the usual weird IE bugs. That was, as usual, horrible. Now going to play with OpenGL ES 2 for an hour as reward.

Must stop eating in the outside bit of motorway services, even when it's sunny. Stinky, litter-strewn, nicotine patios.

@matthew_roach @ratsass ...and then you woke up?
@KaveyF It'll be at least a couple of hours. Not even out of work yet.
@thomasvenables I don't have it in my heart to reveal that.
@ahnlak ITHNKUMGHTBERGHT
How did they name these database columns? My guess is with a drooling moron repeatedly headbutting a keyboard. With caps lock.
@RadioKate Sadly, most things that are actually vaguely likely to happen are excluded from travel insurance policies.
@martingoode Sounds like you've had etter days.
@Lord_Sugar Kindle store has several times as many books available as iBooks store. Maybe your sales are being diluted a bit?

@hayles Go to bed, you.
CSI:Miami appears, quite literally, to have lost the plot. Think I may give up watching it.
@ememess Heck, and I didn't even get offered the $300. I guess my avatar looks cheap.
@technex Well, try not to walk past anything ferrous on the way home.
Just blogged about tonight's run, including a photo from my shiny new camera (a Lumix FP8): http://bit.ly/4pBMaO
@hayles Mild drizzle is lovely. Far nicer than running in bright sunshine; I don't overheat!
Huzzah! Survived tonight's run :) #getrunning
Hmm. Grey, dark and drizzling. Uninspiring running weather, but I can't let @Lovelybuttons out-run me :) #getrunning
My job would be a lot easier if I could reliably spell the word "hospital".
@AlasdairStuart Indeed. Yet again, someone appears to have remade something that didn't need remaking.
Dear Facebook: Continually showing me ads for dating sites featuring pictures of early-20something girls makes me feel old. Please stop it.
@bobscape It's a torch that you're only allowed to use in central London.
Grr. When is the Evernote Safari toolbar button going to stop clobbering the 1Password toolbar button? #snowleopard #firstworldproblem
@dressjunkie you can do it! I did! Take it slow and steady. #getrunning

@brownstudies Because you're acting like you're their mother? Try acting like their ruthless totalitarian dictator instead; might help...
@hotdogsladies Hey, it's Merlin! Loving the recent change of focus, even if I'm missing the Mannerisms. You look... _better_ today.
Right. Greek homework done. Am getting the hang of the genitive, at least. But I really need to learn more vocabulary.
"I am writing to advise that, due to an isolated error identified within our billing system..." Yes, it's my monthly apology from Demon/THUS
...on the plus side, I got home about ten minutes before it started raining.
Ugh. At home nursing sore throat and contemplating Greek homework. At least it's easy this week.
Walking to work. Have sore throat, but apart from that am suprisingly chipper for the hour.
