Today's Question: If someone going on the bus to court loudly admits a crime to their solicitor is the conversation confidential? #
@Mainframe So if I was in the US the idiot on the bus this morning would have a bus load of witnesses to a confession & need a new lawyer in reply to Mainframe #
@SteveHills twunfollow.com is good too – daily emails and rss feeds. in reply to SteveHills #

@JamesWallis Check the sewers – if there are giant ones it could be a Them! London! in reply to JamesWallis #
@KadrinaLage You don't like Ponies? Go Straight To Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect £200. in reply to KadrinaLage #

@GameCouch I'm introducing Hobbit Weekends: 1st Weekend, 2nd Weekend, Tuesdayses, Wed, Thr Nap and Long Weekend… in reply to GameCouch #

@thedeadone Very cool in reply to thedeadone #
Second pass at Rag article done. Will give it another look tomorrow before sending it in. #
@greywulf A Jung approach Flash Gordon = Hero. Han Solo = The Outlaw. So Flash Gordon != Han Solo in reply to greywulf #
@jearle I'd say http://flic.kr/p/8k5Ct5 – its slightly more dramatic and I prefer the proportions of the picture. in reply to jearle #
@FACT_Liverpool I didn't notice anything over-zealous. Now I feel like I missed out in reply to FACT_Liverpool #

@sciamannata From memory of a Jewish friend carefully cleaning a lettuce I don't think they are. in reply to sciamannata #
@sciamannata The memory is of talking about looking specifically for slugs and caterpillars but it was a long time ago so I could be wrong in reply to sciamannata #

@jearle Used to go past the Raleigh factory on my way to & from school. Bit sad to go past the site now its gone. in reply to jearle #

Today's Blog Post: Liverpool's Rotating Yates’s Wine Lodge – Putting the installation into art http://bit.ly/bb3nxQ #
@simplychrista You're having soap for lunch? in reply to simplychrista #
If you've got a problem & no one else can fix it & your website looks broken maybe you can try upgrading from IE6 #
@thedeadone I think they'd argue it's humorous / tongue in cheek in reply to thedeadone #
@thedeadone Not really. Especially if you accept that its a joke even if you don't think its funny. There is a lot worse in the world. in reply to thedeadone #
Finished editing an article for Ragnarok… #
@pookie_uk The ongoing hazards of writing for magazines that take their themes from Norse myth. lol. in reply to pookie_uk #

Lunch time wander with camera mostly succesful but the Oriel Chambers is hidden behind scaffolding so I'll have to snap it another day. #

@nerdlunch Did the brochure say Sun, Sand and Stargate? I can see that selling. Apart from the System Lord guides. in reply to nerdlunch #
@lumpleygames Diplomacy would be nothing without the social side. in reply to lumpleygames #
@nerdlunch Probably safer than the QuantumLeap travel bureau as their only customer Sam never returned home in reply to nerdlunch #
Buskers, a Barbra Streisand cover singer and now a drum troop – working in the city centre is so much more distracting than out Edge Lane #
@lumpleygames The lack of any random element in the mechanical side of the game allows the social side to shine. in reply to lumpleygames #
@LesterSmith Congratulations in reply to LesterSmith #
@Level30yinzer If you want the gothic / scary version the 2nd ed Ravenloft The Nightmare Lands might be helpful in reply to Level30yinzer #
@greywulf Penny Lane in Liverpool has been painted on the wall for just the same reason for years now. in reply to greywulf #
I've got polls working on my blog tonight. Adding the poll 60s config 60s fiddling with CSS 3600s… #
I've improved the display of my python scripts for Vue. If you're a user I'd like your opinion of how the new look http://bit.ly/9tEgYX #
@GargoylePhan To misquote the old BBC show Why Don't You: Why Don't You Just Switch Off Twitter and Go and Do Something Less Boring Instead? in reply to GargoylePhan #

@cha0tic lol. I think your A-frame tent beats my humble poll any day of the week. in reply to cha0tic #
@darkdwarf The crusty jugglers I can cope with. Its the living statues I can't deal with. in reply to darkdwarf #
I've been playing CMS Bingo this week. Joomla ✔ Umbraco ✔ WordPress ✔ Immediacy ✔ In House System ✔ One more and I get a complete line #
My head may explode by the end of today due to a massive influx of information… #

… today I did a 6 hour course and all I feel like doing is going to bed at 9PM #
@madbrewlabs Do you mean the python script stuff or something else? (sorry barely in the land of the awake) in reply to madbrewlabs #
@madbrewlabs lol. No definitely a render. And all those views are a bit OTT. I just liked the aesthetic. It looks really uncomfortable too. #
@ehlanakovas Entropy is slowly but surely overtaking us. in reply to ehlanakovas #
@buffybot85 It shouldn't do – excellent cast, well structured stories and excellent production values. Its rather good too in reply to buffybot85 #
9 hours sleep and I almost feel human. #
@Danacea Have fun in reply to Danacea #
I had a cunning plan. Unfortunately Baldrick also had a cunning plans that stop mine working. #
@KimKnox Entertainment Inertia in reply to KimKnox #
Finally I get to see Wallander – I've been waiting for it a) to start at the beginning again b) for me to notice it started before ep 3 lol #
@Danacea Will there be a comic? TescoMan with the power of the Delivery Slot & his sidekick SimilarItemSubstitution guy? in reply to Danacea #
@DanDiplo Doh! There ought to be a rating system for that. Somehow I got the impression Wallander was more serial than series. #
And so it begins… (another week nothing portentous or otherwise specifically important) #
@pookie_uk I taped it and ought to turn off the computer and watch it. What are the odds of that happening in reply to pookie_uk #
@sciamannata Hamburger in a Can? Whole chicken in a Can? Celery? Why?? in reply to sciamannata #
@sciamannata Saddly: Burger http://bit.ly/9WKvRS Chicken http://bit.ly/bi0d3S in reply to sciamannata #
Enjoyed Wallander. New Sherlock Holmes later. For now time to do an hour on my #WiP #RPG #
Chores Done. Back into the #WiP before dinner time. #
Hmm. Replaced a simple but none standard game mechanic with a more complex but standard one… #RPG #WiP #
There is a lot to be said for good, clear documentation preferably written for humans. Or at least some docs written in a human tongue. #
So #sherlock is a bit of a geek #
@daneofwar One of the usual mistakes is to try and cram too many ideas rather than running with one or two good ones in reply to daneofwar #
Is this going to be Mycroft Holmes? #
@gjfaux Moriarty just seems too obvious in reply to gjfaux #
Yes! I was right. Sorry if I get to be a bit smug for the next five minutes #
@pookie_uk Enjoyed it but too many things were heavily foreshadowed – Holmes should be smarter than the audience #sherlock in reply to pookie_uk #

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

How is it commentators talking about Google, Apple and other tech companies manage to make 2+2=6.0221418E23 ? #
@daneofwar Morning from a dull, grey Liverpool. in reply to daneofwar #
@cimota Spam accounts would be even more of a problem… in reply to cimota #
@cimota Ok. My suspicion is that the dynamic would be very different – The unfollow button would be very popular. in reply to cimota #
RT @mersipan: New blog post! The adventures of Tiny Cthulhu (courtesy of @ruthbeingruth) http://bit.ly/c5NyjG #
@KimKnox Hope its less scary than my black eyed beans that decided to sprout while being soaked at the weekend. in reply to KimKnox #
@KimKnox Ah an actual DNA experiment not something described as one. I had visions of a dinner that went very wrong lol in reply to KimKnox #
@KimKnox You can get Them! on DVD from HMV at the moment if you want to put them off that idea in reply to KimKnox #
The only good thing about the delay on the bus today was the wicked idea for some writing I had. I just really don't need another project… #
@TheRealGelfie Both probably in reply to TheRealGelfie #
Reading Michael Palin Diaries Halfway To Hollywood earlier I was left wondering what Monty Python's Top Gun would have been like #
@symatt Made it? I'd say more likely Lost it in reply to symatt #
@symatt A friend who used to run popular games using her own system with just a Farthing, pencil & paper. The Farthing was optional. in reply to symatt #
@symatt The risk with a rules heavy system is that some players will turn whole sessions into arguments about minutia. in reply to symatt #
@symatt Yeh it does look interesting. in reply to symatt #
@TheRealGelfie I keep thinking they'd be wearing cardboard wings and using catapults but have the real sound effects for jets and missiles. in reply to TheRealGelfie #
@symatt I wish I had time. I'm struggling to find time for my own alpha playtests at the moment & finish a draft to go out for beta in reply to symatt #
@symatt When she really thought she needed to add some randomness to the story. Dice or any other randomizer could be substituted. in reply to symatt #
@symatt I've a system, a setting and a provisional agreement for (small press) publication. I just need to finish the edit and testing. in reply to symatt #
@symatt I can understand that I like dice and a bit more structure as a safety net. in reply to symatt #
Its grey outside but I need a walk… #
@symatt Its a fun exercise. The biggest problem is knowing when to stop and leave holes for other people to fill themselves. in reply to symatt #
@symatt I hope to be able to tell more soon. Like 2015 or 2032 or sometime when I've finished a draft in reply to symatt #
@symatt The writing will all be mine, I suspect all the art will be too. Fortunately I've editors I can call on to fix my idiocy. in reply to symatt #
@symatt Mine was originally an idea for an article no one liked in 2004. Then last year suddenly everyone loved – I was just too early in reply to symatt #
@symatt Doing it yourself gives you control & with epub the £10K risk of getting a game on sale is gone. Playtesting is a lot of work in reply to symatt #
I really wish Serif Software could get that I buy one thing from them and I don't want to be called about anything else #fail #
@Danacea I watched it again a few months back and its still excellent. Enjoy #
@ghostwoods A Valkyrie article & a Dirk Dangerous stories gave different answers. I try to write with different voices so thats good right? in reply to ghostwoods #
@ghostwoods So we got the same two authors lol in reply to ghostwoods #
@gjfaux I had to track back to your earlier tweet – I was wondering if you were playing scrabble with your cat in reply to gjfaux #
The ≈ 4yr old girl on the bus very insistent that The wheels on the bus go round and round…The man on the bus says tit-tits please #
@gjfaux You'll know its all over when the first word the cat plays is quartzy for 82 points in reply to gjfaux #
By and large I don't follow celebrities but I'll add @steven_moffat to the short list via @grekwood @Heresy_Andy @benjamin_cook #
Last Night's Blog Post: Monty Python’s Top Gun http://bit.ly/979Z1u What film would you reimagine as a Python production? #
@BlackpuddleRock Funny I was just about to ask if it had been humming the Great Escape before it made a break for freedom on a motorbike… in reply to BlackpuddleRock #
@very_true_thing Ow. I hope none of those are glued to the layer below (especially the bottom one). in reply to very_true_thing #
@thedeadone Wish it would get on and start raining here in Liverpool – it just keeps spitting #
I Write Like http://bit.ly/aYfo4d coverage pushed James Joyce into trending topics. But now, like Keyser Söze, poof. He's gone. #
@thedeadone I tried two of my pieces: one got George Orwell the other Nabokov. Apparently it doesn't even get the actual writers right lol in reply to thedeadone #
@thedeadone Looks that way. Hope they didn't spend a lot of time and thought on creating the algorithms in reply to thedeadone #
@GeekyClean Not because of the current fuss. Just bored of WoW. Not playing so no point in paying. in reply to GeekyClean #
There are dark clouds on the horizon and a chill in the air. Not metaphors. Big. Dark. Grey. Clouds. Sudden Chill. #
On a plus the busker who only knows 2 Beatles, 1 Dylan and 1 Oasis track has been driven away by the torrential downpour. #
@KadrinaLage Big stones or small ones? We managed a 10 minute torrential downpour. in reply to KadrinaLage #
So cool its approaching absolute zero RT @Danacea: From @boingboing (where else?) Mr Potato Head goes Steampunk… http://bit.ly/dbBmrD #
@NeilCFord Saw them do that for Doctor Who shoot. A really clever way of avoiding having to lay track for lots of shots. in reply to NeilCFord #
@Danacea I suspect steampunk will breakout when someone get Steampunk+Vampire right. If Van Helsing had been better it might have done it in reply to Danacea #
How is it one little fiddle on a website quickly turns into 2.5 hours of CSS, PHP, HTML and graphics editing? #
@SteveHills I am preparing to deploy The Birdy Song as a counterstrike if you persist in deploying Manilow lyrics in Cuba. in reply to SteveHills #

Almost as cool as the Steampunk Mr Potato Head RT @3DWorldMag: Iron Baby gets real! http://bit.ly/bHJvmr #
@ghostfinder Did they ask if they could help you first? Repeatedly? Makes me walk past Game's shops instead of going in. in reply to ghostfinder #
@KimKnox Your not changing tense mid sentence and multiple times in each paragraph are you because we know what madness lies there in reply to KimKnox #
Yesterday's Blog Post: Wellington’s Column http://bit.ly/c3BYJE #
@SarahDarkmagic I had a group miss for 6 weeks every clue that the magic box they were carrying was the artifact they were looking for. in reply to SarahDarkmagic #
@daneofwar I use both. You might want to consider self hosted WordPress. Personally I think it beats either hosted solution. in reply to daneofwar #
@daneofwar Recently? I'm not saying its for everyone but comparing Blogger to WP with its arm tied behind its back is a bit unfair. in reply to daneofwar #
@daneofwar Before they added the one click update feature then. I completely understand the appeal of hassle free hosted services. in reply to daneofwar #
Anyone know a rain dance? The bad 5 song busker is back near our office this afternoon. He's scared off the seagulls with an Oasis track… #
@realsimjoy I can see the appeal of that. I'm thinking of training the seagulls to attack on sight in reply to realsimjoy #
@SarahDarkmagic IRL they found it funny. In character less so since it was why two Ravenloft Darklords had minions hunting them in reply to SarahDarkmagic #
@SarahDarkmagic That one could have been tough. Make up a ritual for the key & say they have 24 hours to escape and get the key back? in reply to SarahDarkmagic #
@richard_iorio Congratulations in reply to richard_iorio #
@symatt How are you defining failure? QL ran for 5 seasons which isn't bad going… in reply to symatt #
@symatt While I think it can have an impact I wouldn't say it was the main factor… in reply to symatt #
@symatt For example I now like Firefly but I first saw a couple of episodes at random and I thought it was awful. in reply to symatt #
@ruperthowe Marketing: many hardbacks are to get reviews, awards & HB best seller lists before profitable paperback release later. in reply to ruperthowe #
@NeilCFord Hopefully he'll see my (potted) reply based on what I've been told on a writing course by someone in the trade for 40+ years. in reply to NeilCFord #
@TheAngryDM How about realising the spaceship your on will run into the sun because of the mistake? in reply to TheAngryDM #
Responding to formal invitations feels so like a minefield… #
@symatt I think it needed a bit more time to really get going but post Buffy and Angel there was a lot more pressure for an instant hit… in reply to symatt #
@johnmcc Ah the X-large, delux, giant size church candle then in reply to johnmcc #
What food can I deep fry for maximum press coverage? How about a Christmas pudding http://bit.ly/cGLk3k via @johnlambshead #
There are candle bots on twitter. Suppose that's slightly less archaic than blacksmith bots… #
@johnmcc lol. Hope not for your sake. I know lighthouse keepers used to eat the candles but I don't think they're a delicacy in reply to johnmcc #
Back from a really good weekend away. Shattered. Forgot memory stick with #WiPs on: wrote a Rag article from scratch on train instead #
@GirliePirate Hi – bit of a random follow – thought @GirliePirate was a cool id in reply to GirliePirate #

@call_me_salome I was wondering if it was a new marketing technique. I've only noticed it in the last couple of weeks from legit businesses. in reply to call_me_salome #
@call_me_salome @ghostwoods I think your right. Its a way of shouting at someone who didn't follow you back since they can't DM. #
@DMSamuel I noticed some people play a game. They follow you and then unfollow when you follow back so I started using http://bit.ly/bXHCcC in reply to DMSamuel #

@KimKnox I'd forgotten the salt spillage lol. Do you think he's still worrying about it and the bad luck he's suffering? in reply to KimKnox #

2010 the year civilisation collapsed after Google's Pac-Man logo reduced productivity worldwide by 100% #
