  1. @matthewtole: I was thinking on the road. But we're still probably not talking about orders of magnitude more than that (ever).
  2. Brushing up on my Highway Code in the sun. The DSA seem to think horses are all over the place. I have only ever seen maybe four.
  3. I have sprayed a little bit of suncream. It smells like France.
  4. Non-techie friends: without looking it up, do you know what a cookie is? If visiting bbc.co.uk/news/ helps, I'll eat my laptop.
  5. Via @leesto, the cookie madness continues with the BBC. I want to cry: twitpic.com/9oq2sf
  6. @alexcreid: I hope so. Fingers crossed most people will just ignore it and the ICO will actually focus on important things.
  7. @mitchellrj: Ugh, that's disgusting. The number of man-hours wasted fixing this problem that never existed makes me sad.
  8. If only there was some way this could be standardised across all websites. Like, I don't know, the BROWSER.
  9. And so it begins. Time to smack the head of the ICO for doing his bit to ruin the UX of every UK based site twitter.com/alexmuller/sta…
  10. Wi-Fi coverage in the garden is a total toss-up year on year. 2012: winning.
  11. @devopstom: Yep (sort of)! It's just after Chiswick Bridge.
  12. @devopstom: I did have to check the reg of the one you posted after seeing this twitter.com/alexmuller/sta…
  13. Two guys cleaning their boats at Teddington Lock. It's a Wednesday afternoon. They've probably done alright for themselves.
  14. @markusfriend: Yesterday was my first! So much fun, should've started years ago.
  15. Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone slow dance. Film-joy overload.
  16. @unnamedculprit: Really? Weird, it just showed up at the top of the YouTube home page, "Matt G shared this".
  17. Via @unnamedculprit youtube.com/watch?v=ZExt3l… "Really people are just looking for ways to transport cheese into their mouth" (today's good)
  18. Via Film Riot, the Ghost Recon short is absolutely incredible: youtube.com/watch?v=7-wAzl…
  19. @ghickman: I felt like 21 was the appropriate time to learn my first useful skill!
