Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-03-22

  • About to go into #ageofstupid. See people in there. #
  • They weren't hissing you, Sam. Alistair Campbell went past. #ageofstupid #
  • @matpage @brighty at least you two had a good reason to be awake.... #
  • Did xkcd see #ageofstupid last night? Eerie: http://xkcd.com/556/ #
  • "A toothless figleaf". Can a figleaf have teeth? Ficus dentatus? I think that makes them blackberries. #
  • "if one person flew LA-> London that would be more emissions than the whole [Leicester Square premiere] " #ageofstupid #
  • @damiancugley an idea for a new b3ta quiz: "TV presenter or Fathers 4 Justice?" #
  • Caterers booked for #barcampoxford http://www.ajcatering.co.uk/ Thanks to Amir for sorting! Any allergies? Tell us at http://qurl.com/sq9kb #
  • Deleting around eight million rows from a SQL Server database is no fun. Seven minutes' transaction time so far. Daren't look at logs. #
  • Whoops, there goes the disk space: roll back! #
  • Off to post a card to a sick, elderly family friend, wishing people could always be hale and hearty. #
  • @argle I have a sneaking suspicion I missed your birthday yesterday. Happy squashday, anyway. #
  • @SteveALee there'll be snacks separately - we're getting fruit, cereal bars and chocolate, I think. I hope! #
  • @drewm it did at least roll back once I'd cancelled it. But how does SQL Server manage to be so graphical and yet so opaque? #
  • Christening the @torchbox teapot in Unit 8. #
  • @purserhallard yes, congratulations! apparently it was mentioned on that "Face-Books" place, but I wouldn't know about that sort of thing. #
  • A chat-up line suitable for this evening's revelry: "Do you have any Irish in you? [pause for answer] Well, would you hold it against me?" #
  • Re: previous tweet - sorry, Gran, God rest your soul. At least it wasn't an Irish bull. Or anything from Uncle Tel's Cabin. #
  • @petecooper they'd better be quick if they've not signed up yet: #barcampoxford attendee list now over 90% full. #barcamp #
  • @jturnbull you've made me yearn for pie-crust and fried potatoes. Takeaway best bit of moving house.Time to go and get some supper, I think. #
  • Full of @torchbox cycling breakfast. Mmm, croissants and cheese. #
  • @jwebster distracting us all with bike porn. Reminds me that I've got a Brompton catalogue at my desk. #
  • Playing with a possible new Oxford Geeks website. It only does RSS feed aggregation right now, so a bit of a step backwards. #
  • @tomtaylor par for course from Hello!graph? At least they didn't illustrate it with busty A-level hopefuls, y'know, cycling. Bravo, though. #
  • GMail must know I'm working from home: advertising "live-in care" to me. Will they make the tea? #
  • Merging codebase FAIL. After the first thousand revisions, subversion repositories start to creak & groan, and emit steam from their rivets. #
  • The Banjo sandwich van, after nearly running me over on Witney-Woodstock road earlier this week, suffers irritable horn syndrome once again. #
  • @argle I bet your svn wasn't originally two separate repositories, merged by svndumping and then slurping the two dumps into a new repos. #
  • A weekend without the wife... I'm already in my dressing-gown eating chips. And it goes downhill from here. #
  • @brighty the poor wee mite. fingers crossed it's something boring instead. #
  • @hatmandu I misread the tweet about ibuprofen and jumped to the wrong wossname. Well, fingers crossed for her. #
  • My music collection rocks: "American Wine", "What's a Girl To Do", "High and Dry", "You Love Us". It rocks if you're my demographic, anyway. #
  • Er, "Mexican Wine". That typo neatly conciding with an accidental injection of Terttu Lehey's Finnish for Beginners. G'night, Wembley! #
  • @joannatidball of course! Between them and Global Hypercolor it's like the early '90s all over again on Twitter tonight...! #
  • @greenpeaceuk one for Nuclear Reaction on April 26: photos from a tour of Pripyat (via b3ta) http://qurl.com/kfqf3 #
  • @joannatidball nor is it MC Hammer's hilarious trousers. If only 1992 had just been Richey Manic and the Mary Whitehouse Experience.... #
  • As I fell asleep, I wondered: is "postromantic" a modern coinage, describing the conjuring of either severe debilitation or yummy dessert? #
  • @adambuxton1 has just opened the floodgates on 6Music... starting off today with 12 followers, I wonder how many he'll have by end of show. #
  • Showering, then probably cycling into some bit of Oxford for a coffee. If anyone's around then do feel free to send me an SMS. #
  • @j4 has teh shiny. I seened it. @omassey assures me the stormtrooper uniform is in the post: http://qurl.com/p8w65 #
  • I enjoy programming in Python so much that I lose track of time: still in my cycling gear. Nobody tell my bosses.... Oh. #
  • @natbat @simonw o noes! Bet would've been quicker letting you out if you were @stephenfry: he's prob already on security guards' follow list #
  • Feeling vaguely flu-y, especially sinuses. Hope it's nascent hayfever from today's cycle ride past recently tilled fields, not actual flu. #
  • Bus ride to Witney took 1hr; sliced finger cutting bagels. Counted my blessings tho, as *I* could ring and talk to my Mum today. Some can't. #
  • @platform3 think there was a folk festival in Oxford this weekend, or did you work out already why there were so many Morrismen? #
