@swashford Oh, WP is easy and lovely. Both Nixsight and Elephant Words use it, and I’m a CSS numpty. in reply to swashford #
@swashford Probably the smartest way, though it’s a pretty easy install once you’re certain of it. LOTS of hosts have auto WP installs, tho. in reply to swashford #
@swashford I can’t! I’m still with Powweb, but I daresay they’re not the best… just been with them forever! Dreamhost often do deals… in reply to swashford #
Just watched CSI: NY s5 finale. Between that & Lost, wondering whether this is the year networks are renegotiating all actors’ contracts! #
@Wossy Oh wow… I LOVE Martin Sheen. Does he still have it? in reply to Wossy #
@jamiesmart There’s pee in your drink? in reply to jamiesmart #
@rhodri Billy Bragg has the very slight edge as writer & having the ability to add topically relevant or emotive tribute lyrics to McColl… in reply to rhodri #
@rhodri … McColl’s voice was better, & the story works well because that’s the version most of us got to know it with. Tough question… in reply to rhodri #
Right. Butt hurts. G’night, all! #
Practicing my french for my inevitable relocation by our incoming BNP government… #
… If Girl One stays in UK, I have my eye on Canada. I mean, if I HAVE to leave her behind… #
… I believe my fetish for girls that say ‘eh?’ is a matter of public record. #
@moongate I’m a fairly low impact import, I think, & I require very little national preparation! But if not Canadia, than where? New York? in reply to moongate #
@andy_lamb Teehee… irony has you pinned on that one, I’m afraid! in reply to andy_lamb #
Much as I love @katiewest nudes, sometimes these are the photos that really get me: http://tumblr.com/xgi1ua54z #
@thoughtmecca Undesirable even BEFORE you factor in the BNP, but yes: I’m not a native British person, only loosely classed as white Briton. in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca (Like almost all Brits, I’m a transplant.) in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca Circa HB, late 80s/early 90s, BNP were basically a transparent bunch of neo-Nazis – very obvious anti-civilisation muppets. in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca They kinda disappeared, but New Labour showed them the quickest, easiest way to camouflage & conform. They came back in suits. in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca Bush/Blair’s War O’ Terror, which to the dumb was ALWAYS going to be a war on brown people, gave them cultural IN they needed. in reply to thoughtmecca #
RT @thoughtmecca: In my mind, everyone in Britain knows each other, so the BNP’s literature at your door read, “Hey Nick, we were talking… #
RT @thoughtmecca: @nixsight “… and we think it’s time you moved out. We’ll be sure to stay in touch, though!” (Retweeted for LOLs) #
Oh, fucking COME ON Tweetdeck! Or network! #
@steevbishop Are you talking Twitter, or, like, real life? in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop Oh, real life! Man, that sucks. in reply to steevbishop #
@thoughtmecca Well, I think that’s largely down to the sensitive handling of local Arab small businessmen in that episode of 24. in reply to thoughtmecca #
@Sulman Heh. Every time I see you or @steevbishop tweet this morning, I’m going to be imagining his “Blood on their hands” voice. THANKS! in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman Also, I’m going to try turning it on and off again, see if that sorts things out. in reply to Sulman #
@thoughtmecca Oh, 24 is AWESOME TV. It has the most adorably confused politics of any entertainment unit EVER. I love it! in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca But yes, the 2 Arab businessmen were proper brave. They mitigated their progressiveness somewhat with Arab terrorists later… in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca Most notably with story featuring Kal Penn – now trusted aide to YOUR president! Oh my god! THERE’S teh terrorist connection! in reply to thoughtmecca #
@Sulman I figured I’d give it a go… I mean, how hard can it be? in reply to Sulman #
RT @steevbishop: @nixsight @sulman The ghost of Cho Seung–hui haunts you. http://tr.im/m4W5 #
@laineyw You’re very welcome, sleepy girl. Wondering if it’s my preoccupation with the BNP that has tickled you…? in reply to laineyw #
@laineyw Heh, it is all LOL all the time in the wondrous world of IT. Where apparently I work. Though there is much confusion on that score. in reply to laineyw #
@Sulman 2 minutes sounds like an awfully long time. Can’t you just jot out a few bullet points on an e-mail? I reckon I can pick it up… in reply to Sulman #
@apatheticmike Is your stationers Rymans? in reply to apatheticmike #
Hm. From watching the Surrogates trailer, I can safely say I want to watch the movie. But also that nobody else should watch the trailer… #
… It feels like one long spoiler. #
@RedMummy It’s nice here… are you going to London, or you just being super kind to Londoners? in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy I actually ache. All over. For no good reason. Find myself distracted by Amazon special offers, too. in reply to RedMummy #
@apatheticmike If t IS Rymans, that might also be true. They really bring the stationary products…! in reply to apatheticmike #
@RedMummy That… wasn’t me? I think it was @SorenLorensen… in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy Oh god, I hope I don’t have the swine lurgie… in reply to RedMummy #
@apatheticmike Lucky guess… It’s mine too. The queue is normally for the post office in the back, which has been there a while. in reply to apatheticmike #
@apatheticmike …Tho the stationery staff are pretty slow, so could be them too! in reply to apatheticmike #
@RedMummy Huh… that sounds pretty serious. You should get that looked at! in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy What @belle_lulu said. in reply to RedMummy #
@marcellerby Aww… you’re a young ‘un, aren’tcha? in reply to marcellerby #
I think MY #firstrecord was Hole In My Shoe by Neil of the Young Ones. #
@RedMummy I can see potential logistical problems with that particular course of action… in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy Well, I don’t know… I guess we can run interference here for a while. in reply to RedMummy #
@belle_lulu @RedMummy HAH! in reply to belle_lulu #
Actually now wondering if I should see a doctor. Had assumed that this was just a back strain, but now EVERYTHING above waist hurts… #
… Though below the waist it’s all groovy, baby! #
Ack* Hurts… To… Laugh… At… Own awful… Jokes! #
@Bournemouthecho It’s not working! For me, anyway… in reply to Bournemouthecho #
@Bournemouthecho It links to: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en But I get an: {errorText:”Unable to contact server.”}! #
@psychicsarah Aww, thanks! That should help. Also, the ibuprofen I just took may kick in soon too! in reply to psychicsarah #
@RedMummy Heh… I think they all got the wailing out of their system when I came off the market the last time… in reply to RedMummy #
@acheverton I think the film. It’s one of those really really explicit trailers. in reply to acheverton #
@acheverton (I didn’t snag the book, nopes. Didn’t notice it, actually…) in reply to acheverton #
@Bournemouthecho MUCH better… that works, and is interesting viewing… in reply to Bournemouthecho #
@RedMummy LOL. in reply to RedMummy #
@psychicsarah Heh… I’m an all-the-way-through sceptic… I’ve got as much faith in ibuprofen as anything else, so all aid appreciated! Ta! in reply to psychicsarah #
@RedMummy Rot? Jeez… not sure what you’re picturing, but now I’m UTTERLY grossed out… in reply to RedMummy #
@steevbishop As if the fact that his name is “Rampage4real” isn’t good enough? Jeez, I want to follow him, & I don’t care for the sports… in reply to steevbishop #
I find I’m bored of this particular task. Wondering if it’s that it’s a boring task, or that it requires collaboration to agitating degree. #
Was vaguely wondering yesterday whether I’ve hit my new-tech threshold. I ACTUALLY find it difficult to imagine moving away from hard media. #
… Games, Movies, TV, Music, Books… I don’t want the only copy of things that I have paid for to exist in digital format. I LIKE shelves. #
@RedMummy I refer you to my earlier tweets on aches and pains? Also, to a long history of lack of leg coordination…! in reply to RedMummy #
@steevbishop My musings were based on realisation that while so much media seems to be gearing toward downloads, I am largely unmoved by it, in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop …& when a new game demands web connection every restart, I get antsy. Problem not so much with the tech as with worrying… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop …feeling that media outlets are doing this because this is what everybody else wants. If that’s the case, I’m out of step… in reply to steevbishop #
http://bit.ly/rwgfh – DAMN YOU GEORGE LUCAS! #
@idsharman @douglasnoble Wait, what? Oh, gosh, no – I didn’t read the complicated information underneath… I was talking about Kenny Baker. in reply to idsharman #
“Consistently entertaining albeit random”, @Bournemouthecho? I like that. I suspect my colleagues may disagree! #
Colleague just responded defensively to me commenting on unintuitive nature of system that I assumed was 3rd party but that he had built… #
…By saying that if I thought I could do better, then I was welcome to try. I had to reply that I’m not a coder, so wouldn’t even try… #
… This exchange will be absolutely hilarious to one – & probably ONLY one – of the people reading this. Apologies to the rest… #
RT @iainlee: Although knowing the EU they’ve probably banned it, like they did with space dust and arson. Bastards. #
@steevbishop If you can remember much of our conversation with @Sulman the other night, you might have an even more refined view on it! in reply to steevbishop #
@Sulman But… but your avatar is smirking…! I think you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about! in reply to Sulman #
@trapphic Keep ‘em coming… in reply to trapphic #
@misterwallace You’ll probably just have started them off again… in reply to misterwallace #
