  1. @stevebrogan happy birthday!
  2. @becjee are you sure it was a mirror?
  3. Church and yum-cha done; all home. The house is unusually quiet... kids napping; sick-load of washing done; tie for some more studying.
  4. Ah, meta. 4:33 of Nicholas Cage silences: Cage does Cage - youtu.be/JKdeNv3Rlv0
  5. Using clippy.js you can add the old MS help animated paperclip to any site: vrge.co/LWCygy
  6. @ferretyness great article - thanks!
  7. @TimNoonan there’s not really the concept of “escape” on an iPad - when do you need to hit the escape key?
  8. @tcollins is this overkill? 6wunderkinder.com/wunderlist/ Haven’t used it much: I tend to use plaintext for its Dropbox sync.
  9. @TimNoonan can you map one of the multi-function keys to be escape? Or maybe use apple-fullstop as a workaround?
  10. @kbeilz I guess. Depends on commercial success usually, or cult value.
  11. @kbeilz there are multiple versions?
  12. @Amy_Rathbone @JennaPrice that's a pretty recent feature, though... had a few times I needed to delete something on a train and couldn't :(
  13. @becjee it's a short round trip to the 24hr sylvania mcdonalds... it's not a proper outing, but it's something.
  14. @becjee that's keen! I feel like studying or sleeping (though I do have the west wing on in the background for company)
  15. @JennaPrice it's a feature that's not in their best interest to make accessible... like fb's inability to delete posts on mobile.
  16. @JennaPrice easy - linkd.in/bgOM2K
  17. @kdragon @markmthomson for me it was the most anticipated meal of the week.
  18. Someone in the neighbourhood has a wood fire heater. Love that smell of burning wood. Conflicted about the environmental impact.
