@jamesgraham But, hey, the Government’s using WordPress… #
Think it might be time to mine my Flickr account for photos of people to upload to Facebook… #
@markpack One day our campaign will succeed. I just hope we’re still young enough to win gold. #
Adding Twitter Tools to my blog has helped it over the 1,000 posts mark. Still such a backlog of stuff to find time to write about. #

Congratulations to Moff for making it three years in a row, winning the Hugo for Blink! (Albeit that I might’ve given it to Human Nature 🙂 #
Moral dilemma: reading a book you spot that some of the text has been lifted word for word from another. Should you say anything? To whom? #
Thanks for advice. Not going to make a public claim for fear of libel, but we’ll write to the publisher of the alleged culprit’s book. #
@artesea Yes, and no sign of it. Both books are quite obscure. @markpack It’s a fairly old book and a US publisher so trying to avoid that. #
@minifig I don’t know about that, but cigarettes do smell of raisins. #
Enjoyed The Orphanage. The Spanish horror film Steven Moffat would make (minus the jokes). Bit grin though. #
@Sourdust Girl in the Fireplace is the only of his Whos that it doesn’t have an obvious similarity too. (And it was grim rather than grin.) #

In my quest to better understand your habits and customs, I’m experiencing what appears to be your human “hangover”. Interesting. #
Not convinced Google Ads promoting online news stories are the most important thing for the BBC to be spending licence fee payers’ money on. #
Expression on this new Fourth Doctor toy (er, figure) looks like it’s copied from the hideous waxwork in the Five Doctors publicity photos. #
@artesea They’ve just come out from Character Options, the people who do the new series figures. #
Playing around with WordPress when I should be making dinner. #
Third episode of Bonekickers marginally better than the first two. Would still benefit massively from better writing and less Julie Graham. #

When Today’s coverage of the Olympics includes interviewing a numerologist, it’s probably time to switch the radio off. #
Wikipedia thinks Ned Sherrin still writes for The Oldie. If only there was an easy way to correct it. #
@mpntod I reckon Terminal 5 is an undercover ploy by environmentalists to cut air travel. #
@qwghlm Apparently I’m more famous than the organisation I work for. I doubt that somehow. #
So those are the people who run the IT for the people who make the laws. I like them but they scare me. #
