  1. Must go easy on the Kickstarter, Amazon know how to take your money, it's so easy to pay...
  2. Just send some feedback to Costa Coffee. Their 'iced tea' is frankly disgusting, made with sugary syrup, it's not even real tea.
  3. Jeri Ellsworth's amazing Commodore64 Keytar, this is my new best thing ever. livestre.am/3tNoz
  4. I find I need to wash up too often, we need more cutlery...
  5. At last, Raspberry Pi ordered
  6. This is extremely interesting info. Will digest in the morning. RT @rocket5studios: Android Fragmentation Visualized. opensignalmaps.com/reports/fragme…
  7. Looking forward to Spiers & Boden at The Brook tonight. the-brook.com
  8. To remember where you are, coding, type a note in the source file, uncommented. The compile error will remind you. Just don't check it in!
  9. Who needs the sun? I'm inside, cleaning the house, getting the funk on with Jimmy McGriff and #spotify
  10. Just played the demo of Fez and I'm well impressed, will definitely be converting that and playing more.
  11. I need an RSS reader that tells me when a feed dries up. I just caught up on 3 months of PVP Online, I hadn't even noticed the dead feed!
  12. If I ever meet the coder who wrote this, I'm going to politely inform them that baking text labels into button images is not a good idea.
  13. @fergusmcneill Top job Ferg, code complete as we say, still QA to get through! Looking forward to reading all the books though.
  14. LongSteves Equation: afternoon_twitter_and_facebook_updates = (1 + num_pints_at_lunchtime) / (num_people_in_office * interesting_work)
  15. In fact, it was @SovanJedi who made the video (thanks for the RT) with Zimmer Audio Productions on the sound.
  16. Back in 2006, I created a game called AquaStax for InfoSpace Mobile. Here's a cool marketing trailer we created. youtu.be/SYHJRyAwUR4
  17. @senorstuff you need to video yourself at all times Mr Stuff, in case anything like that happens again, it needs to go on YouTube.
  18. Just bought Voxatron by @lexaloffle, WOW it's fantastic. Absolutely my kind of game, more fun in 15 minutes than I can remember. Get it now.
  19. New 2TB hard drive, supplied by Seagate, crushed by DHL. It seems to have survived by foam and internal packaging twitter.com/LongSteve/stat…
