  1. In better news: Geneva was lovely earlier this evening! Old town, cathedral, Place Mollard, Pont du Mont Blanc... FTW!
  2. The last two days have been filled with delayed flights and associated late nights. I can haz teleport plz?
  3. @OctoberJones I'm on the toilet.
  4. @curiousbunny You shaving yaks again?
  5. @kmdk It's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know... ;-) (You'll be FINE!)
  6. @multinormal Hand written on headed notepaper, sent via Royal Mail or internal post. Definitely a strong option for reducing pointless email
  7. @finiteattention Thanks for the reminder on "Show, don't tell". Now. Where did I put my screencasting software?
  8. @multinormal Plan A: Delete them all. If anything was important, they'll drop you a reminder or follow up personally. Plan B: Despair.
  9. Oofye! Just had to reply to a "this code doesn't work" with "Works for me...". There's a special circle of hell I'm on my way to...
  10. @siibo Glad to conform to my stereotype.
  11. @siibo YES. DO use scatterplots. But only when appropriate. What the blogger is showing when it's NOT appropriate.
  12. @lobelia I'd go get it looked at to be on the safe side.
  13. @AndrewPGrieve Well if you're in the neighbourhood and have a moment, it would be great to catch up with you…
  14. @AndrewPGrieve Awww… I enjoyed it. What's not to like? Hope you're doing well over there.
  15. Pulled pork in a bun and Ripple Steam IPA. Nom nom nom. Mmm, tasty. twitter.com/MikeKSmith/sta…
  16. @LlamaFarmerSam Yeah, you and Number 6 were clearly made for each other. (You're weird).
  17. @lobelia Sadly, no...
  18. Come along to the Hare and Hounds, Northbourne for good beer, great food and, of course, sunny weather. #beerfestival (@hareandhounds5)
