  1. Been away from twitter for many weeks. Nothing has changed. Same old ppl, same old topics. Quoted tweets still have " at the end of URLs.
  2. Hmm, "Vegan Black Metal Chef" or "Nyan Cat Extended Edition". Choices, choices.
  3. WTF! Reddit down. Again? What's the point of being 'forever alone' if you can't spend a Friday night being smug about it?
  4. The surest argument against $noun is a 5 minute conversation with your average $nounal
  5. It took just 3 seconds looking at my inbox to confirm that 3 days of hiking, campfires and good company wasn't nearly enough.
  6. This is pretty cool. jesus phone lens attachment for making 360 degree panoramic videos. http://youtu.be/9o8AAOtOiPQ
  7. When complaining about cellphone charges be sure to swear a lot, make death threats and omit your cellphone number. #heretohelp #stayclassy
  8. @RichMulholland @justinspratt My last 4 Kulula flights were ~5 hours late to on time. Flying midday = on time. Early or late = delayed.
  9. <weep more> the fax number is fax-to-email service.
  10. <weep> email response to customer service query: if you'd like to lodge a complaint please send a fax #absa
  11. On hold to ABSA 20mins. Another 20mins of faffing. And then I can't even email them copy of payment - needs to be faxed #brandminus
  12. @Brettski we use switchtel - no complaints
  13. @shapshak unsub/stop message should not cost more than the lowest rated sms, which is 50c. MNOs won't use free shortcodes because of abuse
  14. RAM couriers. Lies, excuses and delayed delivery till after the long weekend. #brandminus
  15. @RichMulholland http://storify.com/doingitwrong/who-gets-to-be-a-cyborg Lepht Anonym mentions using sugru to coat cybernetic implants
  16. @dewet anecdotes from quitters include "I remember stuff now", "no stress", "I've become a morning person" and "can't sleep if I have 1 cup"
  17. @dewet I switched to no more than 2 cups in the morning, without sugar. Now, after few months 4+ cups in a day will keep me awake all night.
  18. @clivesimpkins thanks - ECT Act says spam must have opt out & second wave from them clearly doesn't :-)
  19. Anyone getting sms spam from the DA? Have sent stop once & WASP blocked my number. Now no originating number, just "DA". Can't reply stop
