  1. Foursquare, a billion dollars later, still doesn't account for being drunk on a boat in Greece with decades-old friends. Never will. Yiamas!
  2. A week off Twitter and email is making me happy. Also, beating the tube by 50% doesn't suck.
  3. @danmcquillan of course! @codeclub are the lovely folks. :-)
  4. @coldclimate nope, not me, sorry!
  5. Watching someone in North Wales present a slideshow to a room full of people in a pub in London. Over Skype. Using cell tethering for 'net.
  6. Not sure how it took so long to see Ivory Tower. One of those things that you're happy you can't unsee. Thanks, @RosyRong & @aanand!
  7. @jwheare oh no! You're not getting sick, too, are you? :-(
  8. Taking care of a sick @Maureen, hoping this is the first evening of a glorious summer.
  9. @nov Yes! :-) (it's supported and encouraged today, but I hope it'll become the sole format for simplicity's sake)
  10. @blech Hurrah, congrats! :-)
  11. @davorg @matwall not counting stowaways or independent adventurers, of course. ;-)
  12. @b3cft that's not the ticket you're looking for, etc etc.
  13. @thisisaaronland oh, you know the answer to that one. :-P
  14. @blech I hear @rakugojon will be there, too! Say hi, you two. :-)
  15. @allspaw I don't even. :-P
  16. @salaud hah! No need to apologise, I have no problems with that assessment. ;-) Err, umm, I mean, SORRY!
  17. We haven't changed a bit, we've changed so much.
  18. @russss hah! Notice to landlords: lying does not make you less of a dick. It makes you *worse*.
