  • Michael Lyons OK on Today at coping with John Humphreys’ usual position of “The BBC should only broadcast what John Humphreys likes.” #
  • Reasons I should be allowed to ignore emails #94: the content is in Comic Sans MS. #
  • @paulbradshaw There’s @mysociety… #
  • @stephmog Dear lord, that should be a sackable offence. #
  • Mmm… phenethylamine. #
  • @secretlondon There are a many nice curry places in the London Borough of Lewisham … #
  • @Alfie Wasn’t that the calendar change in 1752, or was there a different set of riots in the 17th century? #
  • @HelenDuffett Supplied by the Candidates’ Office today. #
  • Waiting for a process to finish so I can go home and have fish and chips. #
  • Dead Set :) Final part :( Wondering if my top corpse acting will have made it in. #
  • So YouTube reduced their maximum video length to 10 mins and I
    hadn’t noticed. Which is a pain as I’ve made one nearly 17 minutes long. #

  • Urgh. Coughing and spluttering. Great start to the day. #
  • Headache too now. Lying in bed listening to Mobbler and feeling sorry for myself. #
  • @Alfie Hi! Enjoyed traipsing around London - thanks for coming up with that. #
  • Catching up with Twitter after hours off. @snapesbabe Thanks. @GavinWhenman Git. #
  • @flashboy Did you not see Strange? #
  • @flashboy I now see you have. Wonder whether quitting Coupling would have got him a black mark with the Moff. #
  • @MarsPhoenix So long, and thanks for all the tweets. #
  • @GavinWhenman Russell Brand probably cut them off. For a laugh, you know. #
  • Just watched a very dark episode of One Foot in the Grave. Now cooking for Dead Set. #
  • Just fleetingly appeared in Dead Set :) #
  • @alexfoster Yeah, and running down the hill earlier on. #
  • @LloydDavis Mine used to go to on but now goes to no. Unfortunately got gives gmt :( #

  • Hacking cough. Hurts, but has broken into Sarah Palin’s email. (Sorry.) #
  • @anniemole Sorry! I may now have to rewatch Death Line - as I’m going to insist on calling it :) - to see if my opinion’s changed. #
  • @DrPep Just wish it wasn’t US-only :( #
  • The Radio 2 storm has been cooked up by the tabloids with the single aim of achieving the headline “Ross and Brand get the Sachs”. #
  • @secretlondon Oh yes. (Not that I’ve actually read about it anywhere but the BBC news site.) #
  • I am in love with Mobbler: http://code.google.com/p/mobbler/ Scrobbling from my N95 FTW. #
  • Coding is powered this afternoon by last.fm’s 007 Radio station. #
  • Aha! Big Bang Theory on E4. Two eps, then Dead Set. Excellent. #
  • Don’t care that Russell Brand’s resigned from the BBC. Do care that David Tennant’s leaving Doctor Who. #

  • Blimey, it’s cold out. Fun video evening with Mr @nimbos. Homemade popcorn - nice. #
  • @anniemole Creep is a lot like Death Line, but much preferred the latter. #
  • @PBizzle Hear hear. Glad the BBC has apologised but should have known better in the first place. #
  • Grr to the blogger who posted a massive Spooks spoiler at the beginning of a post. How should spoiler etiquette work in the days of iPlayer? #
  • Akismet Stats on my blog shows a mahoosive increase in spam in the last week or so, peaking in nearly 7,000 in one day. #
  • Grrr. Bad data, dirty data, in your bed! #
  • Voicemail of the day: the succinct “Oh Jesus Christ.” #
  • @doctorvee What @qwghlm said. #
  • @nimbos Metal detector arches at London Bridge? Grr. Although if I was carrying a knife, I’d now know to go to Charing Cross :) #
  • @giagia Anything can get 10,000 complaints to OFCOM if the popular press decide to demand it… #
  • @anniemole I really did, although it’s a long time since I’ve seen either. Mind the doors! #
  • @secretlondon 24 hours later London Bridge clock is still wrong. Wonder if I should tell someone . #
  • Damn, Dead Set over already for tonight. Weird seeing locations I walked round. #
  • For those wondering about meteorological conditions in south east London: it’s snowing. A bit. Don’t send the St Bernard just yet. #

  • Surprise of morning train on time offset by delays on @jubileeline. Train to Charing Cross it is then. #
  • Apparently our toilet poltergeist has returned. #
  • Headlines on BBC News: “Global shares continue to slide” and “UK beer sales continue to slide”. Won’t somebody think of the breweries? #
  • Wondering if the credit crunch has lead to an increase in annoying sales calls. #
  • Easing myself back into object-oriented PHP. #
  • @nimbos Oh great :( #
  • Code works. For some very slow values of works. #
  • London Bridge clock says 8pm. GMT FAIL. #
  • “Face like a Manchester morgue” - 10 points to Charlie Brooker for the zombie film ref! #

  • Watching one of my bits of software being thrown by the switch to GMT. #
  • Phew. For a minute there I thought we were out of gravy granules. #
  • More fifth season X-Files. Fancy some Wii action after. #
  • @markpack Excellent, thanks :) #
  • Watching Stephen King’s It. #
  • @nimbos The similarity is quite notable :) #
  • @wherenext Think I may have to give up before my brain melts. Have sent in my best shot so far. #

  • @edent I’d forgotten about the B5 episode. I did know something of his after all. #
  • Playing with data of, politely, variable quality. #
  • Still can’t quite believe Hole in the Wall is shown on primetime TV. #
  • @girlonetrack I have the BTTF box set. I know this doesn’t help any :) #

  • Installing new release of Google Mail on my phone. #
  • Realising I didn’t really know where I was going but this large group of people looks promising. #
  • Think I have spotted @Reynolds and @edent through the darkness. #
  • Listening to Neil Gaiman on piracy. #
  • Really good talk. Gaiman v engaging. Mental note to track down videos of him reading his short stories. #
  • Once again feeling inordinately and inappropriately proud at having picked the right carriage on the train to minimise the post-train walk. #

  • Missed all the blogging discussion on Today as my radio is long wave, so Yesterday in Parliament for me. #
  • @katebevan Really sorry to hear that x #
  • @nimbos Usually switched off by then. YiP is good for catching up and is Humphreys-free. #
  • Using our staff meeting for speed dating. #
  • Toying with the idea of a weekend @wherenext treasure hunt cum pub crawl. Would need a posse though… #
  • @vero I’ve just done the same. Chinese for me :) #
  • Should probably confess ahead of tomorrow’s Neil Gaiman ORG talk - which I’m looking forward to - that I’ve never read any of his stuff :-S #

  • Log into my email to find loads of spam trackback blog notifications. Akismet FAIL. #
  • In project management training. Spending time twittering not coming up in project task lists so far. #
  • Amused to discover that someone I emailed at work yesterday turns out to be my third cousin. #
  • @jamesgraham Who’s your alumnus? What did you teach them? ;-) #
  • Never before have I seen curry delivery be a two-man job. Noms may be imminent. #
  • @ruskin147 I can recall when Ben was standing for stuff in NUS when I was still involved about 5 years ago… #

  • I continue to be amazed by Southern’s inability to run a consistent train service the moment a cool snap hits. #
  • @flashboy Ah, I’ve had that - plays for a few seconds then stops. #
  • @flashboy One of the gorillas. #
  • I have donated: http://www.justgiving.com/atheistbus #
  • Suspect my tooth pain is being caused by the early stages of a wisdom tooth. And I thought I was doing so well without it. #
  • @alexfoster You could be right - I don’t know about there things. It feels toothy but it could be a badly located ulcer. #

  • The good thing about walking home through deserted streets is that I can mime along with my iPod without looking like an idiot. #
  • Well, without anyone being able to see me looking like an idiot at least. #
  • @qwghlm The Notes application? #
  • @qwghlm Yep. It should offer you the chance to add it if you go to the admin bit. #
  • Thanks to @po8crg for network security advice. Systems now working well :) #
  • Told off in the street by @iaindale for being online. Twittering this. #
  • @snapesbabe Watch it with the SJ spoilers! #
