Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-07-05

  • Feel like I've missed a week's worth of everything. Except Jackson's death, which sis-in-law texted about while we were stocking up in Lidl. #
  • RT @j4 "I should be able to cycle to work free from people threatening to kill or maim me" - hear hear! http://bit.ly/niakr #
  • @duncanparkes I'm also meant to be at the Mili-band, but I never actually booked a seat outside of test data. Most likely OpenTech, then. #
  • David Mitchell takes on #dailymail #NIMFYs, using their own poisonous weapon of choice: "common sense." http://qurl.com/jz8fm #climatechange #
  • @jonleighton need to speak to the missus, but probably #
  • T569 THN overtaking on blind corner, revving, oncoming traffic #cagerfail #
  • CCK content permissions and OG user roles do not seem to play together, to hide fields on group content based on group role: poo. #drupal #
  • WHO PUT THE HEATING ON? Rooms shouldn't smell of burning dust in the middle of summer unless they're on fire. #
  • When I look at @ replies, I feel guilty that I never got @whatishen's Father's Day tweet. I hope to assuage that guilt with this tweet. Soz! #
  • @jwebster @garrettc it's not my brain that's cracked, it's the project specification #liesitellmyselftogetthroughtheday #
  • LN55 XAP overtaking on blind corner, oncoming traffic #cagerfail #
  • IO84 VU overtaking before blind, busy junction, only to stop at next set of lights #cagerfail #
  • @hatmandu "di-da di-da di-da di-da, di-da di-da di lockers, di-da di-da di-da di-da, di-da di-da di" "Do you have a licence for that, sir?" #
  • RT @griffinkate "The vast majority of road crashes are not unpredictable accidents": http://qurl.com/gghyh via @imascientist #
  • Oxford Geek Night 13 is just over two weeks away - Wed 15 July. Drinks sponsorship from @openplatform - stick it in your diary and RT! #ogn #
  • @didlix nice one - drag along other Drupalers if you can. #
  • Trying to decide whether white shirt and shorts is right in this weather. @griffinkate says I look like a schoolboy. I think German tourist. #
  • S1 12mins away (late) then just... disappears from display. #stagecoach #fail #
  • #taxi #cagerfail LR54 UTO licence 471 jumped red light, illegal U-turn at Botley Rd railway bridge. #
  • As you veer round the Didcot Parkway bend, always look north. It's prettier, just about. #
  • One reaction to the 1622 Paddington cattle truck: 'Crumbs!' #
  • Aircon a #climate crime, but HEATERS on the top deck of the S1. #stagecoach #fail #
  • Tweets are too negative. Wytham Hill and Swinford rabbits always cheer me up. #
  • @greg_harvey I think Paddington Bear might actually have been disguised as the hirsuite gentleman next to me. No wellies, though. #
  • Weather reports suggest the heatwave might break today - I could do with a good bit of rain. #

  • Just spotted @argle's Goldsmith #fail - if you're not a finalist, can you spend another year getting drunk? Oh no, wait, that was the 1990s. #
  • "Swine flu 'cannot be contained'" - will Terry Wogan continue to make chucklesome remarks about it when he gets back? http://qurl.com/wn252 #
  • Or maybe Sir Tel will concentrate on ants taking over the world. He's dwelt on less important stuff http://qurl.com/pv4gn (via @griffinkate) #
  • Just bridged img_assist TinyMCE popup and organic groups module, in #drupal 5, using ob_start() and monkeypatching. I think I need a shower. #
  • @torchbox re http://bit.ly/4G13V is it heavy use of chrome and metallic Photoshop effects in a business context? That would feel odd in UK. #
  • Critique of open-ended "learning journeys" where constrained set tasks might be more worthwhile http://qurl.com/fssj9 (specific to museums) #
  • Pimping a fan from work: ducktape, all-purpose glue and some elbow grease. Reassembled now, but not sure how to get it into work tomorrow. #
  • @platform3 @jwebster thanks, you two. I could really murder a beer now. #
  • Hum. Fan pimping fell to bits with the heat of the fan's own motor. Trying again with string. Yes, string. #
  • @petecooper Germany's ace, but don't emigrate when you've had a few ciders. You'll regret it in the morning. #

  • Eynsham Shirt Race: Jockey pushing stable on wheels with papier mache stoned horse's head. #
  • Five pounds each for the privilege to maybe buy stuff at Eynsham Carnival... we've headed back home instead for podcasts and tea. #
  • Sitting in the sun. Drinking ice water. Sleeping. Ice water. B3ta. Sun. #
  • @mapkyca can second Butcher's Arms. Bit hard to find but good beer. #
  • "Nuclear power can’t save us from climate change if it’s too hot": seawater too warm for coolant http://qurl.com/g55y5 #climatechange #fail #
  • Bah, Al Shami already booked till 9.30pm tonight. Looks like it's a Spiceorama night again, if the Carnival hasn't packed it out. #
  • The criminally underpatronized Spiceorama is actually busy. I should think so. #
