  1. @danielrendall Our world appears to be completely insane. This may be a problem.
  2. Gas is now 'green energy' apparently, and gets renewables money. Stupid bloody species: is.gd/UxNru8
  3. Anyone used an Elgato EyeTV Netstream Sat? Good hardware? Good software? Better / worse than normal PVR box (i.e. Humax)?
  4. @ghickman that's it, I'm setting up a kickstarter for a device that allows you to kick people in the balls over the Internet.
  5. However, considering it also says "To unsubscribe to our sending list" I suspect English was not the first language that sprang to mind.
  6. Email: "Visualize correctly this page to our online version". If we start using 'visualise' to mean 'look at' I'm going to punch someone.
  7. Due to chip and pin, the large magnet that was put next to my wallet probably hasn't rendered the contents *completely* useless.
  8. @robowaz oh, *don't* smash the screen with the stylus. Good to know.
  9. Oh dear. Our shiny new energy bill doesn’t look up to much: monbiot.com/2012/05/28/bon…
  10. Every single thing that's come up recently that looks interesting has clashed with something I'm already committed to. Very annoying.
  11. @horsham_skeptic Have you seen that @markgfh is touring SitPs with the Geek Manifesto? Would be v interesting... is.gd/V29d0U
  12. @ibikebrighton Doesn't look like anyone's coming this time, just the organisers + you - we will reschedule, but pls join up to get involved!
  13. @ibikebrighton great! Can you make it to the pub on Monday?
  14. @jasonkitcat btw, I’m starting a Brighton meetup for web/sustainability people. Know anyone who might be interested? meetup.com/Cleanweb-Brigh…
  15. @jasonkitcat that makes more sense :) Would love to be wrong though, as I say. Greens still the only people I could vote for currently.
  16. @andrewatfornax painful if you tread on it
  17. @jasonkitcat or did you mean DISagree? I'd love to be proved wrong, I've considered joining the GP many times.
  18. @jasonkitcat you'd agree that the Green brand (party or movement) will always be associated with an anti-science viewpoint? Surprising…
  19. @Muslimah1 no, very quiet!
