Microblogging weekly: 2010-07-19
- Just got back from school; doing some stuff on somalishakespeare.com. Now to sort out SilentFlame's finances. #
- RT @jephjacques: THIS IS MY LIFE. http://ping.fm/MTcd6 THIS IS WHY THE BOOK ISN'T DONE YET (via @erikamoen and @BrendanAdkins) #
- Got my results. 2:2 average but that does not reflect the spread – the way they are distributed makes a mockery of exams. #
- @mooseguy your work experience is at the university?! #
- @tomaca12 oh dear. We had a JCR motion (that passed) to remove all muse music from the jukebox in the bar. #
- RT @sinewave: We're screwed: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/10557996.stm // agreed #
- Nice little game of SupCom FA with @sinewave there. Owned him fairly comfortably. #
- @mooseguy I know what you are doing, I just don't know why that is occuring at the university. #
- Figuring my way through SilentFlame's finances, then. #
- Time to watch the first episode of The Guild season 4. Excited :) #
- Disappointed with first episode of new The Guild season #theguild4 :( #
- Can't account for £33 in SilentFlame's bank account :S #
- Grrr why do my chat notifications sporadically start working. #
- Gonna see how I get on playing Nevermore at #DotA #
- Nevermore is not an easy hero to play. #
- @salavant well you're not easy to play either :P Welcome back! #
- @zzap 0% if you use ext3 :) #
- @williamtm yeah I agree. Shame their writing is to dumbed-down. #
- @zzap hmm, defragmenting is never bad so you might as well do it. And you get to watch the pretty graphics. #
- Finally got through SilentFlame's finances. Paid off SF's £212 debt to my father (everything is still in his name…). #
- Inbox down to 20 unread. COME ON. #
- [11:59:17] <JamesR_> brb kiwi #
- Got my inbox down to zero. FLIPPING HECK. #
- Grabbing a bite to eat before purring over my beautiful zero unread inbox some more. #
- Mediocre drow ranger pwnage. #
- Cleaning out selene – nuking old accounts. #
- @sinewave I have tircd configured to auto-@reply when you complete with a comma, not a colon – check your timeline. #
- @sinewave possibly. I seem to have got into a habit of just typing it manually so not sure. #
- On to the next backlog: clearing out my RSS reader. #
- Epic thunder going on outside :D #
- And there goes the lightning. Bwahahahaha #
- @salavant I wasn't trying to imply a connection – I heard tweeted when I heard somet hunder, and then again when I saw some lightning. #
- @salavant I realise this :P #
- @salavant can't remember any of that stuff :( #
- @sinewave I was more considering which one generates the other; how they follow ontologically. #
- @sinewave sorry ignore my mistaken use of ontologically there. #
- .@sinewave is here; waiting on @salavant to watch the (original) DnD movie. #
- @nicola_sugden glad to hear it :) #
- Was playing DotA but sudden lag made is unplayable. Doing well too. VIRGIN MEDIA I HATE YOU SO. #
- @bjwebb is that even legal? #
- @bjwebb ah right. This is why the cloud is evil. #
- Going to see if I can actually play DotA; serious pipe fail has meant I've lagged out several times today. #
- Not giving ringing its two hours of walking required to go until I have learnt some Grandsire calls. Clearing RSS reader instead. #
- Wow, surprised and impressed to see @virginmedia on Twitter. Thanks for the message :) #
- Enjoying playing as the Vasari in Sins of a Solar Empire #
- @mooseguy funny, most people would try to hide the fact they're an APple developer :P #
- @zzap why do you have so many domains? :O #
- Some of these are pretty funny: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ci4px/male_redditors_what_are_some_hints_females_gave/ #
- Neglected Twitter today. So: rang for a wedding and walked in the rain a lot to do so, ate some chips and made some cheesy bean burgers. #
- @sinewave 1) backups. 2) do a Ctrl-F for psmerling #
- @mooseguy even wrse :P #
- @mooseguy given that I'm getting rid of the phone in ~3 months, I'm not buying apps anymore, sorry :( #
- @mooseguy maaaaaaybe #
- Just watched Quantum of Solace for teh frist time. Did not grok. #
- @salavant yeah. I'm not used to this… #
- @mooseguy no I've never really been into the Bond novels. #
- @zzap I just keep seeing you use new ones. Why do you keep spending your money on obscure TLDs? :-) #
- @mooseguy it's called vim with LaTeX. Why the heck are you using Word? #
- @mooseguy (also: OpenOffice) #
- @mooseguy you should care more about one of the most important subjects you study, bah. I deeply wish I had. #
- @mooseguy you should care about it enough to present it properly, which Word is't cpaable of :P #
- @mooseguy of course that content matters /more/ but it's not the only thing that does. #
- @mooseguy you have a strange idea of art if an essay is not a work of art! Anyway this is stupid. Your complaint was about the interface. #
- @mooseguy "I wish Word had Xcode's CodeSense :(. I want to see which quote I've closed." #
- Think I may have finally fixed my Twitter/Identi.ca and IRC notifications script. Only some normal usage will tell. Now off to ringing. #
- At Ranmoor to ring for another wedding. They're 15m late and they're not even married yet :( #
- @zzap give it to charity or save for harder times. See http://givingwhatwecan.org/ for the former. in reply to zzap #
- They're still going. #
- @zzap be wary of charities that large! They lose a lot of money in bureaucracy. in reply to zzap #
- ahahshsha they're singing Jerusalem for their final hymn xD #
- @zzap sure. But see that website I linked for far more efficient charities. #
- @sinewave jealousy #
- Had a quick game of SupCom (yes, you read that right) with @sinewave – didn't expect to own him without no rush, but did so – epicly. #
- Enjoying python's subprocess module, which means I can write elegant musca scripts rather than ugly shell scripts. #
- Python really does make things too easy. Just discovered the pickle module. #
- Script really getting going now. Gonna watch Dexter's Lab first though :D #
- Completed my implementation of dynamic tiling ala dwm in Musca. Buggy and a little slow, but very usable. #
- @mooseguy happy birthday! Can I come round later and deliver your present? Don't want to wait until LAN :D #
- A productive day: ringing, read some Philosophy, wrote a decent Python script and an improved sh script. Many problems solved. #
- @mooseguy sure I'll pop round. Why do you have a Latin textbook? #
- @mooseguy sure but why? It's not like you do classics or philosophy or anything :P #
- About to head off to @mooseguy's to deliver his birthday present. #
- Vengeful Spirit ownage. #
- @sinewave quite. More people should use version control for non-code. #
- RT @sinewave: What hath the Ministry of Justice wrought? http://ur1.ca/0pwwn // grr how the heck did we let this happen #
- Just received approximately three hundred copies of an @-reply from several days ago simultaneously, leading to .wav-spam o_O #
