Happy Christmas! #
Surprising number of people surprised to be caught without tickets on the train today. Personally I'd rather pay than be left at Stockport. #
@simplychrista A very late thankyou for the #ff #
@MoonWolf95 A very late thankyou for the #ff #
Spell checker really wants me to change Stockport to Stockpot lol #
Managed to write almost 4000 words on the train today and only one serious accidental deletion on the shaky bit over the Pennines #
@CODAPUBLISHER I'm figuring on around 20K for that piece of which around 15K are now done #
@simplychrista I had to stop when the guard got annoyed with me writing up her sleeve #
Diving shoes and a couple of sandbags might help with the wind. A suit of armour might help with the shoppers. #
Happy New Year! #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-12-25

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

@oldknickers At least you didn't plug it into the cactus #
@simplychrista Toucan and Preen or Robin Cousins #
@cha0tic I just can't imagine the brain dead brainstorming that came up with that idea #
@simplychrista If the weather report I just saw holds up they'll get plenty of opportunity. #
@Ulyverse I was wondering but was too polite to ask #
@Ulyverse I can do pedantic if you want but its far too cold right now #
@MoonWolf95 Thanks I'd return the compliment but it seems to only want to offer me Parking or Anime as topics you influence me on lol #
@cimota We need a word for that – I had something similar when starting PC and it said "16,423 updates to apply do not turn off until done" #
@symatt Any people get a haircut applied as an effect by the printer Seriously this explains it better than I could http://t.co/erCCo8Em #
@SteveHills I've called in a strike by an orbital mass driver on your location. Look up now & you should see the asteroid just about to hit #
Analysis of Bifrost survey now winging its way to Steve Blease for Ragnarok. #
@Dicecreator Very cool and a Ftaghn Christmas to you to #
@deadorcs What formula did you us? #
@deadorcs Cool. Will you have lights and/or tinsel as well this year? #
@Danacea Good piece. Not hugely surprised that WH Smiths are in a lot of bother in the vote. #
Drag and drop upload in WordPress is pretty cool #
The Cold Soap Window Sill Steam Phenomenon photographs http://t.co/pS3Rsay2 #
@Troppers Onions, Carrots, Salt , Pepper & Herbs (Bay Leaf, Parsley). Garlic. Possibly leeks, celery, mushrooms, fennel, tomatoe #
@Troppers I had to shorten the original list to fit twitter. Garlic is very much an if you like it in stock. #
@MoonWolf95 I had to add it as something you're influential on. #
@Troppers I'd not put gammon and garlic together personally #
@MoonWolf95 Just Klout being weird and not getting the obvious stuff while picking out random stuff. #
@Troppers Cool. Onion and salt are the key ingredients and have been at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians. #
I expected Chicken Curry with Cardamom to taste more of Cardamom still it was pleasant and not fussy to make. #
The Glasgow of Young James Herriot seems to be a ghost town with no trams & barely any other transport in sight but enjoyable anyway. #
Is it just me or does pretty much everything sent mail order at the moment come with vouchers for money off wine? #
@undercoverman The weather this year it was like completely crazzzzy man! Especially the rain of petit fours on July 42! #
@realsimjoy So far I have resisted. Although I have a nice bottle of rioca stashed away for New Years Eve #
@realsimjoy So far vouchers: one for a bit off, one for free delivery over £100, one for £40 towards a 12 bottle case and one like yours. #
@greywulf And the Cliff Diving Award goes to… Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Splat! #
@cultauthor At the end can you do that laugh he does? #
@STARBURST_MAG I'll probably see at least one or two of them but the trailers make me want to say none of the above. #
@symatt I've been snacking on trail mix today. All that dried fruit is healthy right. That means no calories right #
@xtamsynx A slow download could be at the other end – especially now for smaller websites 1 user with a good connection can swamp a server #
Vue 10 PLE and Trial Versions now available http://t.co/kTrjz5AX #
@xtamsynx Is it slow compared to what you're used to getting? #
@call_me_salome I thought you were a bot but if you're saying your a man I'll not be upset #
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows my review with spoilers http://t.co/O7hvkfyY #
@call_me_salome My GP tells me no man should wear jeans that tight. They can cause problems with the digestion. #
@call_me_salome lol. In '78 I was too young to understand the significance of Olivia Newton John being stitched into those jeans for Grease. #
More interesting than more Ugg boots RT @call_me_salome: Surreal shoes of the day. http://t.co/8yeskBtf #
Email spam way down but 864 spam comments to my blog since 5 December – 120+ for Ugg Boots? Not one made it past akismet #
@ehlanakovas Not attractive but different #
Goodnight clouds. Goodnight sky. Goodnight twitter. Goodnight world. #
@xtamsynx I'd be tempted to talk to my ISP then. Years ago Orange broke mine by putting their gear into diagnostic mode #
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows my review with spoilers http://t.co/O7hvkfyY #
@xtamsynx Glad you got it sorted #
@Thisangelbites That would be unfortunate #
@jearle Google need to open it up both ways with APIs or its in danger of becoming another casualty of their wanderings into social media. #
@GRIMACHU Oy! Leave it out I was just starting to drop off nicely then. #
Spending the day coding C# always leaves me feeling far more like falling asleep than coding PHP. #
@jearle I know. Yet somehow Facebook do and accept that making money on a % is better than a walled garden that fail. #
@Ghostwoods lol #
Personally I'll take the brass trio busking near the office over the usual guitarist with a backing tape but I seem to be in a minority here #
Finishing the last day at work for 2011 with a bit of WordPress. Nice. #
@Troppers Depends – did you speak with your mouth full? #
@MoonWolf95 Just a guess from but that shape will have a lower centre of gravity than a cube so less chance of rolling on landing. #
@MoonWolf95 Plus its tried and tested for 40 odd years so most of the kinks have been worked out of that design making it safer + cheaper #
@Thisangelbites That looks rather good – I might be near one of their shops I can see a purchasing accident happening #
@MoonWolf95 You're on a 2 year mission to Mars on the way there IIS has an accident – now you can't get home. #
@MoonWolf95 Plus the assemble in orbit idea is nice but I'll bet quality & cost are cheaper when done on the ground even with launch cost. #
@MoonWolf95 Long term yes but the number of manned space flights is still barely out of the early flight era. Stick with what we know. #
@MoonWolf95 Or you get overly enthusiastic unrealistic programmes. Not just space read Neville Shute's Slide Rule for airship engineering #
For the last time in 2011. Home time #
@DanDiplo Ask the MP for Cannock Chase in Staffordshire #
Something tells me the driver of the shiny red Ferrari didn't buy it for sitting in a traffic jam in a less fashionable area of Liverpool. #
@Ulyverse I shocked some colleagues by not only knowing who William Orbit is but having some CDs of his music. #
Listening to the @TheUkes cover of Teenage Dirtbag http://t.co/ThqKJWFa #
@Troppers Trouble is the one in my head from the books beats all of the actors. Although everyone except RM gets part of him right. #
@Troppers I wouldn't want to over promote them. But the novels are worth a look and the short stories include some intriguing oddities. #
@Troppers Personally Dr No as its close to the Connery film, Casino Royale as that's the Bond of the books before any polishing… #
@Troppers …+ The Living Daylights just because the whole of novella is 5 min of the film but read others first as its not like the films. #
@call_me_salome He's behind you. (I could say yes but its panto season) #
Happy Christmas http://t.co/gskEf6is (this year's virtual Christmas Card) #

Back to making notes for some proper writing later… #
@Ghostwoods Its a slippery slope. Its 1 v. cute kitten picture then its more kittens finally its "Hi I'm @Ghostwood & I'm a kitten addict" #
Much tutting from old dears on bus – woman in loose jeans with no belt & little yappy dog juggling to keep both from getting away. #
Emma Thompson is a MIB? I can see that but if Dougal and Bill Oddie don't cameo as aliens I may be upset http://t.co/RAzrl0GO #
@sandchigger lol #
My sitting room had been flitter free for 6 months but after tonight's card witting there are trace levels of shinny flitter everywhere #
@Troppers Following the logic one step too far… if you're using your Telly as a Christmas tree what are you using as a TV? #
@sandchigger But if you had been considering it you'd have been a complete sucker #
Six WordPress sites updated without a hitch #
My first blog post for awhile in which I say rude things about The Thing with some spoilers probably http://t.co/Kt6eWTTF #
My review of The Thing from last night now with added bonus of @Drunken_Goblin response http://t.co/Kt6eWTTF #
@Drunken_Goblin I was just using your comment as a cheap excuse for promoting my website again #
@Drunken_Goblin Seriously though thanks for taking the time to comment #
Excellent works night out at the Olive Press. #
#uksnow L2 3/10 #
#uksnow L2 4/10 #
#uksnow L2 2/10 #
#uksnow L2 0/10 having turned to #ukrain and #ukslush and #ukseagullsthatarelookingforatasteofhumanflesh #
@sandchigger Doing my bit for http://t.co/BILRjheG crowd sourced snow reporting for UK. Did see some impressive Texas snow reports last year #
I predict a flurry of LEGOlas jokes given the Lego Hobbit / LotR announcement #
@sandchigger 4/10 was how heavily it was falling. 4/10 isn't a blizzard but still pretty heavy. #
@wartrader lol #
@sandchigger Thankfully its not been settling because otherwise the hill out of Liverpool can become quite dangerous. #
@DaddyDM Thanks for the #ff #
@DaddyDM I'm not sure how useful #ff are. I do think it does sometimes lead to a new follower but without a sudden surge its hard to say. #
@xtamsynx Could be worse. 4 friends of mine agreed to meet in a bar but all went to different bars with the same name lol #
@TheAngryDM Those & figures were the start of the slippery slope. It was cool when they did tokens on weetabix for the first lego village… #
@TheAngryDM … I eat Weetabix everyday for months when I was five or six but I got all the village sets #
@TheAngryDM lol Weetabix is a breakfast cereal. Consistency & taste of crisp or soggy cardboard http://t.co/41isErYU #
@TheAngryDM An acquired taste that was my breakfast staple for 18 years but I can't imagine eating it now lol #
@xtamsynx Sorry. Thankfully I wasn't part of that debacle. Pubs should be like fictional characters – never give 2 the same name #
@TheAngryDM Just give them bad advice – "take the craft skill its essential to character survival in my setting". Soon they'll stop asking #
Home time #
Lego LotR: One Stud to rule them all, One Stud to find them, One Stud to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. #
@simplychrista Thanks for the #ff #
@xyleanne69 And people in houses without central heating in this weather #
Twelve minutes ago the cold dark night passed through the grey dawn to the cold grey day #
@beltonwriter Goodmorning and Goodnight #
@symatt Morning #
Must get on #
@nardan Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Get better soon. #
@simplychrista You've been busy then #
@simplychrista Cool. I struggle to keep the idea for one picture going at a time. #
Finished reconstructing FoGE from PDF / DTP file to word to send to Mr Blease… #
Brian Blessed interview on BBC1 wonderful distraction from weather outside. #
@Troppers I made it to the couch but thanks to Brian Blessed I'm in danger of becoming a potato. #
@Troppers The hail was fierce here earlier but the sky is blue now so I might brave the outdoors too. #

Warm mackerel sandwiches for lunch. #
Please note my last tweet has two purposes… 1 to swamp historians in the future with data when they go through twitter. #
2 to upset stand up comics who dislike twitter because its all about what we eat and simultaneously to keep them in easy material. #
The sky is so grey here its like one in a 1970s photo of an angular modernist factory in the USSR. Welcome to Greyistan Comrades! #
Vicious hail outside glad I don't have to go out today. #
@simonjrogers Are you Being Serviced? 1970s SitCom setting with double XP for double entendres #dramasystem #
I'm blaming this cold for my utter incompetence at post to twitter. I've got SocialMediaFlu #
@simonjrogers I might just have to see if I can work that up. A few years ago & I can pretty much see Jay running that in Valk for the title #
Excellent word resource for writers of historical novels, players of CoC & other #rpgs The Guardian 1928 Style Guide http://t.co/Pdmvdot0 #
@DanDiplo Only once a month if I'm lucky. Wait till At the Mountains of Madness turns into a CoC film franchise #
Man asked for a "ten pound orange" in shop. Is that price or weight? Reminded me of The Two Ronnies http://t.co/UvUnfvZl #
@Troppers On a scale where 1 is heated them from a can and put on a plate to Gourmet hot dogs in hand made rolls as 10 where are you? #
@Troppers Pasta & cheese – sounds like your heading into areas of the scale that involve the square root of -1 and other impossible numbers! #
@DanDiplo I resisted sending pretty much that tweet when I saw those pictures earlier #
@symatt Am I allowed to use a dice roll to decide #
@symatt Sometime you have to ask – what would Sheldon Cooper do. Roll 1d6: 1-2 No 3-6: Yes. Roll=4. So Yes I missed you today #
@MoonWolf95 And in less than 140 characters you sum up why I not only don't play RoleMaster but have virtually none in my #rpg library #
@MoonWolf95 I like to improvise my crits on the fly. Keeps the old GMing juices flowing #
@MoonWolf95 First #rpg I ever played. A friend used raw potatoes as props for experimental happiness pills… #
@MoonWolf95 Not enough flesh #
@MoonWolf95 lol – that wasn't a challenge #
More note making than writing tonight. Note have a nice way of expanding into sentences & paragraphs Now for something different. Night. #
@KimKnox Have you got the shakes yet? #
RIP Harry Morgan http://t.co/CuUyhSGy #
@ryanag123 Cool. Is it proportional to regular sized gingerbread folk like the scale diagrams in the CoC rulebook? #
@ianf @DanDiplo @jacquar @richeym *Cough* Mobile and Accessibility Testing *Cough* #
@ryanag123 Good job you didn't go for Lu-Kthu to scale #
Microsoft reinvent the window instead of the wheel – a bathroom mirror that lets you look outside http://t.co/9M4mLtpn via @guardiantech #
@Danacea So you got a preview of this year's Doctor Who Christmas special then #
Weather like this makes being able to do stuff online doubly great. #
@MoonWolf95 The snow will have to fight the wind, rain and hail to reach the ground tonight! #
@richard_iorio A genuinely classic font #
If nothing else this is worth reading just for the sentence "any of us can commit acts of journalism" http://t.co/fcvGZjap #
@simplychrista Thanks for the #ff Have a great weekend #
@DaddyDM Thanks for the #ff Have a great weekend #
And so another working week winds towards Friday night and the weekend #
@grahamwalmsley It may be a bit geeky but I'm really looking forward to the @designmuseum moving so I can see the permanent collection #
@MsBorok They're renovating the Commonwealth Institute in Kensington, London #
@ianpearse Its really good to see them bringing the Commonwealth Institute back into use. #
@symatt Maybe a bit obvious but how about Elves or if auto correct goes bad Elvis Elves #countersketch #
@MsBorok My pleasure you can see more about it here http://t.co/ipLGAmwt #
Its one of those days when the cold gets into your bones #
@call_me_salome I do the whole gargoyle perching on high places thing but I'm not good with heights but I'll take the sexy doom part on #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-12-04

@andrewkenrick Only single rotor so not Chinooks – thinks they might have been Merlin HC3s #
@call_me_salome You're saying he's Bagpuss then? #
Exploring Blender's particle systems to see if I can use them in a Vue scene made with Daz Studio #
Hitchcock never could resist getting a cameo in RT @simplychrista: Send a grumpy Hitchcock holiday card : http://t.co/dpMuEdZW #
@simplychrista Hmm all those fat men in Dickensian Christmas cards – how many were Alfred Hitchcock cameos? #
@Ulyverse It wont help you'll be just as annoyed that you've spent a load of time tweeting utter rubbish #
@simplychrista Odd how they are called Dickensian but I've never spotted a workhouse or Fagan in any of them #
Making elf more alien/supermodel thin got past uncanny valley problems by being less realistic. #
Adding barely visible particle system to improve look of render makes it more realistic. #
I'm not going to try and work out how making one thing less and one thing more realistic can make a scene better and just do the lighting. #
@MoonWolf95 The little things make all the difference sometimes – I'm tweaking the lighting even though only I'll know what I've done #
@xyleanne69 Does that make my favourite Mexican bean dish a potential imposter? Should I have it followed to find out where its really from? #
@MoonWolf95 Absolutely. Although I prefer it when a picture is easier to get to work than this one has been lol #
@MoonWolf95 lol Takes tens of thousands of years for photons to get to the surface of the sun so its not that fast either #
My Cthulhu is dusty and has no care label. Is he machine washable? Worried that spin cycle might wake him from his slumber… #
@MoonWolf95 Only really energetic ones on steroids made in the lab not ones from novas crossing interstellar space so far #
@MoonWolf95 One theory I heard is that the lab made Neutrinos on Steroids may have been taking shortcuts through higher dimensions. #
@MoonWolf95 @symatt And pantomime is peculiarly British. A friend who works in theatres had to brief a NY theatre boss on them recently. #
@MoonWolf95 Thanks I'll give them a go #
@MoonWolf95 Have you seen the escape route for a problem on the pad? Death slide to armored car might not be wheel chair friendly #
@symatt Your players must be far more with it than mine #
@MoonWolf95 I'd rather try and explain Rab C. Nesbitt #
@cha0tic A friend I used to crew with at Uni used to get Polish Spirit which can go to 96% abv from a wine and spirit shop #
@MoonWolf95 Have you had the 2nd half of 2011 series including "Let's Kill Hitler" I can't say a lot without risking River Song "Spoilers!" #
@MoonWolf95 I think you're up to date but wouldn't want to accidentally drop a spoiler. If you are apart from Christmas special nothing new #
@MoonWolf95 We get that with US shows all the time too #
@MoonWolf95 Which is even more peculiar as they don't show it here. #
@symatt That battle I'm keeping out of – I'm specializing in the ugly or peculiar at the moment lol #
@MoonWolf95 Just post it at certain famous CG sites and see if they ban it as being naked or not #
@symatt I think @greywulf is having his tea and staying well out of this if he has any sense #
@MoonWolf95 Could she be less naked #
@cha0tic Not sure if its still true but I think the high strength ones can only be had from specialist shops. Might be a special licence? #
@greywulf @symatt I'm just sticking with the only doing ugly at the moment & leaving this to you & @MoonWolf95 #
@symatt @greywulf @MoonWolf95 Are you going to put one of your counter sketches into the fray? #
Email newsletter offering whitepaper entitled "Preparing for Cyber Monday" just arrived. Guess they didn't read it themselves… #
@undercoverman The lung to body mass ratio is something like 3 parts body mass to 20 parts lung. Slightly better than a fog horn #
@Troppers In reply 1. Bleh 2. Without Marc Warren: a relief he really needed Adrian Lester to make his performance work (imo) #
@greywulf @symatt @GiniKoch @MoonWolf95 Just to be clear are we doing Ugly or Beautiful now lol #
@greywulf @GiniKoch @impworks @MoonWolf95 The prize is not embarrassing ourselves publicly #
@impworks @symatt @GiniKoch @MoonWolf95 Think #SexySunday might be taken #
@Troppers Ok I'll give you that. Similarly the loss of Jaime Murray not quite replaced. Bleh = Have picked up cold and am feeling a bit #
@Troppers As BBC shows go it has always managed a high level of eye candy for all genders, preferences and ages #
@Troppers Ah yes they pretty much had me hooked by casting Robert Vaughn. #
@Troppers Similarly NCIS with David McCallum & the line "What did Ducky look like when he was younger?" Gibbs responds, "Illya Kuryakin." #
@undercoverman Absolutely. Physics defying in the best sort of ways #
@Troppers Once NCIS worked out it was a relaxed version CSI with jokes, pop culture & a cast who could carry that it became very watchable #
Just for giggles – lets try Daz Studio 4 + Blender hair simulation then see how Vue copes #
@richeym Well that would put a dent in the institution of marriage – or at least guests at the ceremony #
@TheAngryDM From memory its 1000 a day but rolling on an hourly basis. #
@Restartkeromais You'd be far better off asking at Daz's forums – I'm only recently converted from Poser to use it #
Gotta call it a night before this cold turns into man flu. #
@MoonWolf95 Sleep worked #
Torrential rain here before. You could tell it was bad only one smoker braved cold & rain sat outside Costa under an umbrella. #
Flier delivery just came through door including Pizza menu and Zumba sessions – synergistic advertising? #
@MoonWolf95 You only got a ton of rain? We got so much we could barely see across the road at one point earlier #
@MoonWolf95 I can see why you'd do that. It stopped raining before I left work but my trousers were soaked from walking down the street #
@MoonWolf95 Cool Tank Have you seen the sports car model from Johnny English 2 that Rowan Atkinson was doing 50mph on? #
@MoonWolf95 Its patchy but he did do most of the wheel chair driving himself – hard to hide a stunt double on a wheelchair lol #
@MoonWolf95 Surely they should be more worried about the flame throwers? #
In 1911 Police stormed St George's Plateau during Strike. In 2011 Police vans fill it preparing to escort Union march. #
@jearle Stop knocking the Royal Wedding – it was a great opportunity to get an extra Call of Cthulhu session in this year #
Noisy but apparently well organised strike march is going past outside. #
March has snaked past us now – must have gone on for a good half hour. #
@Troppers That would be what happens when the Department of Stealth and Obfuscations goes on strike – ninjas sneakily marching in protest #
@Ghostwoods Cool two people confused with images from different parts of one tweet. March is one of those slinky spring months #
Good Q for @guardianstyle RT: @GRIMACHU When describing something as 'spartan', rather than referring to the people, is it capitalised? #
The Gade, the Bartók and the Ugolini #classicalmovies #
@cogspa What u gonna do? #
@call_me_salome Hello. lol. Methodologically inspired but quite likely to cause misunderstanding #
@call_me_salome @GRIMACHU If you can't be left alone to play with twitter nicely by yourselves we'll just have to turn it off till you can. #
@call_me_salome @GRIMACHU I'd send you a copy of the Spotters Guide to Mythical creatures to help with identification but it is mythical. #
@cogspa With no Monkey Wrench you ain't gonna fix that gastropod! #
@Dicecreator Sorry to hear that #
@richard_iorio Only if the numerological calculation of Caesars' name used to slander him on the quiet in ancient times bothers you #
1978 Taito Space Invaders! RT @DesignMuseum13 classics added to Collection includes M1 sign, AK-47 Rifle + Sony Walkman http://t.co/fiG20JbA #
@DanDiplo Odd that there is no commenting on that article. Danger of owners of other machines pointing out how they outsold BBC #
@call_me_salome Does that mean you have to look after the death of rats? #
@DanDiplo Which loses all the local news and other personalisation I had set up on the old one #
@DanDiplo I don't disagree it was influential but the BBC seem to be a bit revisionist in their coverage of 80s home computers #
@call_me_salome A Death of Rats wearing trainers would have real problems with rats passing in nightclubs where trainers aren't allowed? #
@JMdoubleU The real question is Nature or Nurture #
@mdlachlan Rich Hall's rant about him on the BBC4 documentary about road movies the other night was unexpected and brilliant. #
@guardianstyle Thanks #
Back to work. Time to shorten the to do list. #
So now the Google Icon opens a menu I can't see a single click back to my Gmail inbox when I've expanded a few labels. Excellent UI work #
@richeym A christmas tree appeared in the NBH foyer today #
@xtamsynx Within a tightly defined set of circumstances – but not for wearing out shopping to the local supermarket #
Two police horses just went down my street causing the first traffic jam I've seen on it ever. #
@DanDiplo Over heard someone on the bus call them Love Films Hate Users earlier… #
@DaddyDM Thanks for the #ff Nice hat #
@symatt One little bit of tweet madness has a lot to answer for Thanks for the #ff #
@guardianstyle How do you cope with the band "The The"? #
@call_me_salome I think its because most ubergeeks have eaten too many – a sort of flabby beefcake #
@MoonWolf95 Thanks for the #ff #
@call_me_salome Most full time ubergeeks consider the major food groups to be junk food, pizza, chocolate and caffeine #
@simplychrista Thanks for the #ff #
If I was a D&D monster I'd be a 1 HD Medium Ooze with a special area Poison attack of VickVapo Rub found in Duvet terrain alignment bleh! #
@ianf When there is a code error would they catch it with a #fail ? #
@Troppers Was it Omid Djalili who played Terrorist #3 I think he had routine about that when he was 1st on TV or I could be confused #
Tip: Watch Saturday Kitchen double speed – the music goes from relaxed Sat morning to pumping spy show thrills and spills #
@xtamsynx Happy Birthday and Gratz #
It was tipping it down when I went to the shops. Now I'm in the dry the sun comes out. Still no waiting in shops so rain not all bad | #
@K23Detectives Shame you didn't get a £1 reward for each one #
@thedeadone Are you staging the tortoise remake of the bike scene from The Great Escape? #
@sciamannata Paints I used to use could be used on fabric (I never did) had a fixer available. Could something like that help? #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-11-27

Sunday, November 27th, 2011

Computer, peripherals, computer desk, cables all disconnected cleaned, hoovered and then reassembled. I need a sit down. #
@Troppers Vicks infused lasagne sounds very Heston Blumenthal but not in a nice way #
Internet connection mysteriously went down @ the same time as yesterday. No flock of BT vans trying to fix it today. Now back up #
@Troppers Hope you're feeling better soon. Better living through Vicks is one slogan I hope to never see catch on. #
@symatt Should I ask what you've been doing for 12 hours? #
@symatt Ow 12 hours of that – no wonder some of the ticket office staff look fed up! #
Interesting Parsian inspired curry for dinner in a good way: Chicken with Apricots (from Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Easy p91) #
@DanDiplo New Scientist had a piece about Decaptcha an academic project to break them. Only reCAPTHCA was found to be reliable against bots. #
@KimKnox Not quite reached the point of bringing in actors and improving the scene in a Mike Leigh like process then #
Wondering if there is a book about at what can be seen along the 86 bus routes of different UK towns & cities. But not very seriously. #
@ehlanakovas lol. Just one of those random things that starts at work: in this case several people have used the 86 in different places #
Did Adobe have the most pointless brainstorming session ever when they came up with new features for Photoshop Elements 10? #
@ianf I bet they sweated over that for a measurable number of seconds before pretending to be working for the rest of the afternoon #
@Troppers Sorry he's completely besotted with his Virgin box if the ads are anything to go by. He only has eyes for Tivo. #
The office is now discussing introducing the effect of "Assertive" technology for web browsers after a slip of the tongue… #
First rule of engineering: If it can go wrong it will go wrong. #
@symatt Got one of those fitted bathrooms where you have to remove half a ton of paneling to get to the seat screws? #
@symatt Did you get it sorted in the end or did it end up going like this… http://t.co/eM8wIvUK ? #
Why didn't anyone tell me about @guardianstyle before? Also pleased to see that @grauniadstyle exists too #
@KimKnox On a scale where 1 is bad kittens & 10 is A Rickman playing Hans Gruber & the Sheriff of Nottingham playing with kittens how bad? #
Emailed a website that they may have ModSecurity misconfigured: 1st time at site it says I'm making too many request but displays on reload! #
@KimKnox 11 is so old hat now. E veryone goes to 11 or gives 110%. Stand out from the crowd – turn it up to 15 #
Who would have guessed you lot would be so keen on @guardianstyle and @grauniadstyle ? #
Over the last 20 years Liverpool has gotten rid of market stalls because they were a nuisance to pedestrians and replaced them with… #
… seasonal street markets with twice as many stalls to be a nuisance to pedestrians. Still the tat they sell is different and festive. #
@symatt Its been improvised from a chocolate bar foil, some liquid nitrogen and a copy of time magazine? #
@Troppers If the Guardian story is what you're talking about – maybe they could build a new Stadium below ground level to hide it? #
New word of the day: Messuage #
@xtamsynx I was thinking blown away here – but pretty similar result. #
Is the Metro using one of Nick Clegg's ex-Neets army for Photoshopping? White outline & missing arm http://t.co/ljmj3uX2 #
BBC experimental TV controlled Dalek in your home. Next robot Punch & Judy to replace TV for real 3D experience? http://t.co/MKiLpRX7 #
@johnlambshead Now be fair: its not technically slavery they just want to bring back Indentured Servitude and the Feudal system #
A rather manic driver just overtake double line of traffic then reverse wrong way up 1 way street park on double yellow… #
@Ghostwoods Annoyingly decided not to when friends said they weren't who now are. Train would now be £70 so not really worth it #
@KimKnox Good luck. Heavens just opened here and it doesn't look at all pleasant outside #
@KimKnox Good luck. #
@simplychrista Thanks for the #ff #
@vmdolphin Thanks for the #ff #
Its Friday evening. Yeh! My head hurts. Boo! #
@SarahDarkmagic Worth a trip to the cinema when it arrives then? We only have the muppets Orange advert here at the moment #
@RobCornellBooks Its the start of it for us in the UK. Last two years the Internet has spread it across the Atlantic #
@richeym Get it with extra cheese – it should be a special reward for not having it at Lunch #
@symatt Night (hello). #
@sizemore Bagsy the prequel to the prequel² as well as the sequel to the DVD extra originally exclusively on YouTube #
@WastexGames Is that a brontosaurus leg roast on the plate? #
@jearle Not London or right now but did run into a website IP address being blocked by BT because spam email came from it over a year ago. #
@call_me_salome A friend of mine almost dated a pizza delivery guy because he was visiting her so often. #
Sign of a true gamer RT @xtamsynx: Whenever I tidy up I always find a lurking d10 or a d6. #
Two ponderous and huge helicopters just went overhead far, far lower than usual. #

@MoonWolf95 Hope you found Mars DEMS. Think USGS / NASA used to have them. #
@vmdolphin Thanks for the #ff hope you had a great weekend. #
Excellent CoC game although we did mislay one PC in another dimension & one probably has to retire to a desk job. #
@richeym Sorry: Call of Cthulhu – a classic table top RPG based on H. P. Lovecraft and related horror writers http://t.co/lc10v0Dr #
@MoonWolf95 Cool – I knew of a lower res whole mars but those both sound excellent #
Plan: Tidy today. Do something more interesting tomorrow. #
@symatt I'd missed a few with being busy at work – really like the mouse with a watch #
@symatt I look forward to seeing the improved version then #
@call_me_salome Afternoon #
First room blitzed. Time for lunch. Yes my life today is thrilling. #
Think I may have forgotten to put washing powder and softener in wash thanks to annoying auto dialer recorded phone call this morning #
RT @LPOBryan: The definitive writer's cheat sheet: http://t.co/pyiWtDW7 via @KimKnox @Suburbman #
RT @newscientist: What does mathematics *look* like? A team of world-class artists & mathematicians set out to discover http://t.co/slLZaIF5 #
@xtamsynx Thats worse than the time the only way to get an update was to kill my web browser, restart and log in again. #
@xtamsynx Now that really is odd. In fact its approaching just plain weird. In an annoying way #
@simplychrista Very cool. Like it. #
@simplychrista Sadly no CTRL-Z key for real life #
@Danacea In danger of a titter ye not there #
@simplychrista Just the Adobe monster to feed instead. #
@MoonWolf95 @simplychrista I had a similar thought possibly due to playing CoC Saturday night and winding up in another dimension lol #
@xtamsynx One habit I've yet to succumb to but down side is I'm tweetless on the move. #
@Danacea So many innuendos to choose from so few tweets in the world #
@simplychrista Just so long as its just the decor and not the dilemas and San loss #
@MoonWolf95 @simplychrista I really hope that was a Freudian typo;-) #
@MoonWolf95 lol #
@MoonWolf95 That would be cool. I've got a planetary scale grey scale altitude map but more detailed sounds interesting #
@MoonWolf95 Ta #
@DaddyDM Very productive so far thanks. If I can get through all my chores that leaves the rest of the week for fun You? #
@daneofwar Pretty grey here all day. Not even atmospheric fog. Soon to be replaced by dark #
@cooda Woolworth's used to be good, I guess Argos or DIY shops will probably be the only inexpensive but not rubbish choices left #
@cooda Sorry those weren't any use. Sadly the other likely to be cheap + quality place I know are Liverpool only #
@DanDiplo I was signing up to a site the other day that didn't allow capitals or numbers in passwords too! #
@MoonWolf95 Thanks #
Good day in 1 tweet – kitchen cleaned (boring), chatted about writing & #RPG saw Tintin & In Time + excellent dinner @tapastapas #
@call_me_salome Spam is so borring these days the only girls names in my last 30 days spam: Lorriet, Sherie, Ericka & Aimee. #
@call_me_salome Used to use it all the time: got really good ones for characters for Dirk Dangerous stories. Lately only rubbish #
@xtamsynx lol. I'd have to write a story where he gets the girl and so far that hasn't happened. #
@xtamsynx You're right – I forgot he mentions "getting" Felicitous Bragshot: “Nice girl. Long legs. Laugh like a donkey.” in DD&tGBoD #
@xtamsynx I really must finish writing some more Dirk Dangerous stories and find somewhere looking for pulp. #
Downloading CityEngine 2011 #
City centre has been captured by 6 flavours of chugger, 3 market research squads + assorted buskers & living statues. Its hell out there. #
@simplychrista Thanks for the #ff #
After buying a new kitchen timer I have to ask but Heston Blumenthal is the joke still on us? http://t.co/S8Kszejw #
@aniakovas It was a long time ago… #
@MoonWolf95 Thanks for the #ff #
@DaddyDM Thanks for the #FF #
@DougPiranha Probably. Check the opening titles and see if he's guest staring in your life. Bad things usually happen around him if he is. #
@call_me_salome Judging by my Twitter Time line they mostly still are. Very slow Saturday morning. #
Very, very cool prize RT @MuseumLiverpool: See my new galleries on 2 Dec? Free tickets in this prize draw http://t.co/sQ2BqmGC #
Sometimes its the little things that make the difference – like getting roundabouts in CityEngine 2011 #
Just back from Immortals – quite pretty and 3D not overdone till end but story and characterisation rather thin #
@MoonWolf95 I've no problem with the action just that the characters lacked a bit of depth (which is sad in a 3D film) #

Just watched an episode of Chuck: if it was a pizza would have a topping of Die Hard with extra Lethal Weapon references on a crispy base #
@SteveHills Just so long as you don't revive Russ Abbot's pop career with a dodgy remix to promote your new word. #
@KimKnox Nit boinging weeble t' spool: Thits nit Bag end nat cleaver. #
Did anyone at Currys/PC World think having Darth Vader inspect a store pretty much says they are the Empire and therefore Evil? #
@blindgeekuk Something to do with blowing up planets & killing millions. Just a little thing I know but I find it hard to overlook. #
@blindgeekuk Don't worry I only partially think you're suffering from Jedi mind tricks and have slipped to the dark side of the force #
@grahamwalmsley Piece in this weeks New Scientist (tenuously) links creativity, schizophrenia and humans moving past basic tool use. #
@Troppers I know London's cosmopolitan compared to the rest of the UK but the chances of meeting a seal there have got to be low #
@Troppers Chance of meeting a Seal: London Zoo 0.1% The Thames 0.001% District Line (around Hammersmith Station) Saturday after 10PM >11% #
@Troppers So the one time I had to change lines there which happened to be on a Sat night was probably a repeatable unpleasant experience? #
@Troppers lol #
Ravenloft Fans: Quoth the Raven issue #18 http://t.co/G0xlvjZ9 #rpg #
@ehlanakovas Still my favourite D&D setting – shame 4th Ed version was canceled – left me no reason to get 4th ed. #
How long till Mafia reject comparison to News International? http://t.co/gDUdJEf1 #
Should have videoed woman who was barely taller than she was broad & deep when she fled the police – Instant YouTube Gold. #
@call_me_salome lol like it (although the vet student in the room next to mine at Uni zoomed more on a pack of Pro Plus) #
@Troppers Ow! A plug has to rank alongside lego bricks as an 8 on the Ow I trod on that in my bare feet scale) #
@call_me_salome Sounds right – by the 72nd hour without sleep he & friends were jumping the tennis court nets at 3 in the morning. #
@Ghostwoods Could @cultauthor work JKVD in and someone called just Jay just so – Jay knows JR killed JFK and JKFD will star in the movie – ? #
@Ghostwoods I was trying to think of someone famous called Jay quickly – how did I forget Jay of Jay and Silent Bob? #
@Ghostwoods A few years ago I'd have said Jay who used to edit Valkyrie but I think we lost him to WoW #
@Troppers Oh yes. Not had sole of foot but did have ankle joint with a 1 mile walk to first aid and a sting with every step. That was a 9. #
@cultauthor That will probably cause the mass head explosion you were trying for. #
@cultauthor Now that would make for a good review quote "Cult author – when one head explosion just isn't enough" #
@Troppers That definitely sounds painful. I'm sure there is some logic to not swimming afterward #
@symatt Night #
@DaddyDM Night too #
@Troppers lol I don't think I ever went as far as getting stung to get out of PE #
@cultauthor I dread to imagine what could have been worse than that in reality but still considered #
Finally all the models I wanted to use for making a picture downloaded and installed almost just in time to be thinking of turning PC off… #
@simplychrista Thanks for the #ff #
@DaddyDM Thanks for the #ff #
@Trollgodfather I've heard one famous SF writer wallpapers the inside of furniture to avoid writing when suffering apathy! #
@DaddyDM A bit of CoC tomorrow hopefully and I have an adventure I need to finish writing + associated floor plans etc. You? #
@KimKnox Get well soon. #
@DaddyDM Just the way it should be #
Intriguing maps from The Guardian: The world of Wikipedia's languages mapped http://t.co/ubDjuVSg #
@ser_timothy Thanks for the #ff #
Well getting home was a mini adventure between the couple who couldn't understand that they needed all the parts of an M&S special offer… #
… to get the discount and the man on the bus convinced NASA first landed on the moon yesterday evening. #
Still one curry and two episodes of Chuck later and I almost feel human again. #
@MoonWolf95 Thanks for the #ff have a greate weekend #
@NissieShay Thanks for the #ff have a great weekend #
@grahamwalmsley Happy birthday #
Stayed up far too late making a picture last night. #
@richeym Overheard on the bus the other day – "When my computer gets full I just buy a new one with a bigger hard drive" ! #
@richeym lol and I thought I had a bad habit with the amount of junk that ends up on my PC. #

@oldknickers @craig3djarvis This is the one time of year I cross my fingers for bad weather. #
@oldknickers Then too but if I could predict riots like I can bonfire night I'd be being asked questions by the police #
@KimKnox Worth a trip then? Some of the reviews put me off. #
@iancockayne Two positive tweets. You'd recomend it then? #
@KimKnox Cool will probably give it a go then #
Once I've installed all the bits and pieces for Daz's Victoria 5 I may still have will to live but this installation process is clunky. #
@allison_pang I jumped & made the switch a couple of months ago partly because Smith Micro's customer service managed to get up my nose #
@allison_pang Me too. Only done CG for 1 year professionally and that was over 10 years ago. #
@shainorton There just has to be a smarter way than all these installers – especially 2 or 3 for one product! #
@allison_pang I've used Genesis a lot lately very flexible it is plus so much old content works. Probably not good for content makers sales! #
Dear @daz3d I don't need the default settings of installers to put a link to your store on my desktop. I find it far to easily already #
@Troppers Is one of them doing the utterly annoying thing of looking at you while snogging as though to say "look I'm with someone" ? #
Next illustration on my list is an easy one – see if I can put it together quicker than yesterdays 6 hours. #
@Troppers Boring I had a couple in front of me like that last time I went to The Comedy Store. Couple next to me at interval were funny #
@Troppers Turned to me & asked loudly if a pair of exhibitionists for £19 with Jossie Lawrence & Comedy Store Players for free was worth it #
@pookie_uk Lol very cool #
@Troppers Cheered me up no end and embarrassed the couple into stopping sucking face for the second half #
@pookie_uk An excellent choice – should go down a storm #
Two nations divided by a common language – Manchester City Council leader's "Shed Load" bleeped http://t.co/LKSRvqJl #
@symatt I had two bananas for desert. That's a whole extra banana! Exciting enough for you? #
@symatt Ok. See my next tweet. #
Just had an idea for an adventure involving in no order: The Blackwall Tunnel, a Necropolis, a Dragon flushed into sewers & Circular Saws #
@symatt Is that more exciting? At least in concept #
@symatt Sorry then nothing really exciting here #
@symatt Surprise me #
@Curis Hitting it with a spanner in just the right spot – well thats what I've been tempted to do to Joomla for months #
@BigDaddyDraven Saddly there version probably makes more sense to the sort of people who set them off after midnight and before 7AM #
@Curis @EroticPuffin I've been working with Joomla pretty much solid for 2 months & I've about had it up to a very high place #
@symatt I think I'll go for the 9 minute version http://t.co/GtuaNRsL #
@EroticPuffin @Curis When the clients launch these they will be anything but simple. Around 1d10 San Loss level. #
@sciamannata Glad I've eaten or talk of riso e latte and porridge would be making me very hungry. #
@symatt Night #
@sciamannata Thankfully no. Just an appetite and a headache from spending too much time coding at work #
@call_me_salome I get sexy little ankle boots. Never bought them or looked at them (on Amazon or other websites). Weird security measure? #
@call_me_salome I was more thinking if my account looked at or ordered them they'd know I'd been hacked but your way sounds more fun #
@Curis @EroticPuffin Could you could send a missable $100,000 or $200,000 my way while you're at it? #
@call_me_salome Saddly a group of companies already got there http://t.co/z4Y960fB Pretty diagram though #
@Curis @EroticPuffin Why does it play that one Eagles song in the lift and foyer over and over especially the bit about never leaving? #
I could poke plot holes in Death in Paradise but its fun and good after a hard day at work so I'll enjoy it instead. #
@call_me_salome Glad you found it interesting. It makes sense but it doesn't stop it being scary. #
@CrazyCGChick And I thought I was tired lol #
RT @Danacea: SQUIRREL!! (My friend has just sent me this…) http://t.co/f9my7RO9 #
Stab at elf rendering suffering badly from the uncanny valley. #
@Troppers I suspect New Tricks will be being watched when many more serious shows are forgotten. #
@Troppers lol http://t.co/E8nV4w4q #
@Troppers Whose guesting? For guests my favourite is probably Meat is Murder for David Calder & Christopher Fulford as Gerry 's brothers #
@Troppers I've heard he's really worth seeing – the joke in one episode of having him doing Shakespear as Brian – that takes skill #
@Troppers That is a cool set of guests. #
@FakeTSR Thats why you guys made your own incorrect in Campaign Source Book & Catacomb Guide right? #
@Troppers Brilliantly #
Is it just me or do George Papandreou (Greek PM) and John Malkovich look alike? #
The New @DesignMuseum plans for Kensington High Street look really interesting http://t.co/ipLGAmwt #
@simplychrista A slightly belated thank you for the #ff #
@DaddyDM A slightly belated thank you for the #ff #
@MoonWolf95 A slightly belated thank you for the #ff #
@vmdolphin A slightly belated thank you for the #ff #
@dr_monkeyface A slightly belated thank you for the #ff #
I used to shop in the city every Saturday but now if I have to I try to treat it like a military raid – I get it fast and get out faster #
@richeym What time did you guys finish last night? #

@Troppers Got me beat. One to send into SFX? #
@Troppers And something sounding like that from that era I'd usually have some sort of vague memory of it too. #
@Troppers Did you find out what the TV show was? #
RT @iancockayne: http://t.co/AyfgPvG2 Doctor Who Lego Vignette with micro K9 instructions awesome #
@periwinklewine How did you get leaves in your hair? Sounds like a hedge trimming sprayed with mayo #
@GRIMACHU Isn't the prominence of Pole Dancing in films/TV inversely proportional to Quality? In which case in the title is really scary #
Can anyone name the 80s TV show probably German or Dutch with a blond blue/green eyed lanky villain, kid hostages & a volcano for @Troppers? #
My review of Johnny English Reborn http://t.co/kXTbqAq2 #
@richeym Maybe my review was a bit harsh. I enjoyed it but it left me wanting something a bit more filled out. #
@Troppers I must have missed that one – Wikipedia says BBC showed it in '88 so I may have been buried in GCSE exam prep or projects #
Almost time for the last part of Hidden. Please let the resolution live up to the first 3 parts promise. #
@Troppers That just means they're hiding in the cupboard or under the bed #
Despite certain cliches in conspiracy Hidden managed to pull off an original thriller and left enough characters around to do a sequel. #
@Troppers What kind of hotel has lacks cupboard doors? You couldn't stage an English farce if the lover can't hide from the partner there #
@Troppers I'd say check under the bed and behind the shower curtain but you already looked there for axe murderers so that wouldn't help #
RT @guardiantech: Tintin and the Uncanny Valley: when CGI gets too real http://t.co/ZF25hkwL #
@RandomOenophile What could possibly go wrong with chocolate? #
@simplychrista Thanks for the #ff #
@GRIMACHU Does it have a bar? Is it quiet? We moved the seminars at a Con I helped run to the bar, both benefited plus one less room to book #
@DaddyDM Thanks for the #ff #
I am out of here. #
@DaddyDM At the moment sleeping in is my biggest plan for the weekend #
@vmdolphin Thanks for the #ff #
@cha0tic I watched it on DVD the other night. Brilliant film. Outstanding cast. #
My neighbours got Tracey Chapman album on but I know they'll never play past the famous tracks. I'll hear this http://t.co/zFL4a8N6 #
Will get to hear Fast Car http://t.co/FQ9zXbD5 but never heard them leave it on far enough to hear Why? http://t.co/QSKmVhDQ #
@DaddyDM Well we're in the run up to Bonfire night here so I may need all the luck or bad weather I can get. #
@GRIMACHU A limpet with its own armed forces, police forces and health services to call for support. That seagull is in for a bad day. #
Seems like HMV Liverpool has a bad batch of On Her Majesties Secret Service DVD still watched Brilliant Big Bang Theory episode instead. #
@Danacea I had a similar problem. Didn't end up paying a power bill for 18 months as they wouldn't refund. #
@DanDiplo I might go back and read more but once I got as far as discovering he subscribed to Drucker I struggled to carry on #
@Danacea Fingers crossed #
@simplychrista It arrived. Cool #
@symatt Thankfully not a Last Chicken in Sainsburys reference. Had me worried for a second #
@dr_monkeyface I got one the other week that's fluorescent pink. Thankfully it doesn't glow in the dark. #
@DanDiplo Thats why I may go back and read it. Thankfully that theory is less popular as many decision makers turn out to be cost centres #
@dr_monkeyface When they put spikes and electrify the shelves in HMV we'll know for sure #
Saturday Kitchen without omelet challenge not so much fun. Worse knowing it was so talking heads could waffle about F1 not showing sport #
@jasummerell Or have to sell your soul to Nero Caesar #
@Curis Given some of the things that were hidden in the Natural History Museum during the war it may well be in the same building #
@jasummerell Pretty much. #
Just watched the first part of Death in Paradise looks like it could have legs #
@Curis About anything you want from HP Lovecraft to a Predator in formaldehyde. They hid 2 SOE stations in there during the war + 1 in V&A #
@jearle When Klout says its a Beta it really is – they keep changing the way they do the calculations yet rarely mention when they do #
@jearle Ah for once they have #
@GRIMACHU Nice #
@MarcUpdates Follow Suit I think from card games #
Pleasantly full having cooked paella for the first time. #
@cthulhuchick And cold leftovers good for supper too #
I have no idea why I'm watching F1. I just put the TV on so it would change its clock. #
@6d6Fireball Morning #
Now that I'd watch. F1 with Rowan Atkinson's face picture in picture as commentary. No spoken words. #
@oldknickers It takes a special kind of person or a special kind of firework and I'm guessing not the later? #
@oldknickers @craig3djarvis Or hungover – and even a 14 year old with a hangover doesn't think loud bangs are cool #
