Thanks to the wonderful Nag's Head in Belgravia I have decided to postpone my plans to emigrate.There will either be a step change in quality of vegetarian food, or I'm moving to Italy. Or India.I'm increasingly disinterested in continuing participation in this shitty society.Goat's cheese tart? Fuck off.I just ousted @trivially as the mayor of The Star on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/cZYCFs
Driving home (obviously not at this exact second!) from Leeds. Two hours to go after I finish this coffee...
@gill78 Like @Lord_Nibbler said, you're asking if anyone has to wash @itsjustyou properly rather than a daily clean. You use him to wash?@gill78 Are you saying that your phone is the one that wants to know if it needs to wash the shower poodle? You phone takes showers?
@matason agreed, but only if we take it in turns to pedal.@matason good idea, hop on baby! http://bit.ly/9v30Wc@dughall thank you. It comes in handy for recovering links you posted a while ago.@whatedsaid @dughall your TagWalk profiles are now up-to-date, by prefixing /user/ you will see just your tweets vs. mixed up with mentions.@matason I'm planning on going this year. Did you stay over or travel both days? Perhaps you should take a case this year for book winnings.@drjohnhawkins @brainwipe you're wrong there jh. It's our fault for not making a change in the way things are. Gotta be a way no?@brainwipe Yea. Personally, I blame our parents' generation for this. Like everything else, it's the fault of the bloody 1960s.@drjohnhawkins And that's partly why you get angry. I know that because I am the same. I see your tweets and think "AAARGH, that's me too!"@brainwipe Oh.@drjohnhawkins That's not deviating from the monotony, that's just skipping bits. It's still the same framework you're moving inside.@brainwipe Also, I more often that not don't have dinner at home. Or breakfast.@brainwipe Yesterday I failed to have dinner (and lunch), and more or less failed to sleep. Deviating from the monotony didn't help.@drjohnhawkins Wake. Breakfast. Work same job. Home. Dinner. Bed. Rinse repeat. One day, suddenly look down and your pubes are silver.@Wiltsweasel 10-4. In case you need a song to sing along - http://bit.ly/dgpebn@brainwipe Monotonous prison...? Care to elaborate?@Wiltsweasel What's your CB handle? How about Thunderous Britches?@iainmerrick I'm fully supportive of transport infrastructure that makes getting away from Seattle easier.@gill78 You take a poodle into the shower? What kind of evil dog hater are you? :-OI just became the mayor of Apex View on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/cvqUIv@drjohnhawkins I like it when you're angry. It spurs you on to correct for the monotonous prison you've built for yourself.I just ousted Alison F. as the mayor of Holiday Inn Express on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/9hj8Td@martinrue it was pretty straightforward, testing was the only fiddly bit. Just keeping my eye out for intermitent nonce related failures.@timhastings Thanks, I do like cheese. A lot, in fact.@drjohnhawkins time for some delicious cheese perhaps? Or alternatively, this may give you some perspective: http://youtu.be/XEZtw1yt8Kc@timhastings I think I'm just having another "what's the point of of all?" phase. P.S. the men in suits were American.@martinrue how did your oauth migration go?@drjohnhawkins hey John, what's troubling you? Apart from the loud men in suits.@martinrue congrats, is your limit now 20,000/hour?This hotel bar is full of unsmiling people. I am smiling. I am the only one with an iPad. Therefore, logically, ipads make you happy.@drjohnhawkins angry week? Buy some tweed.On the plus side, apparently Heinz Tomato Soup is 100 years old. http://twitpic.com/2kbxx3Oh dear, I seem to be having an angry week.@GPye Yes, that's the fella. @chrisdjmoyles was walking near the armouries museum. I was wearing my hat so feared a piss take if I said hi!Found a lovely quiet corner in the Red Lion in St. James's. Idyllic. Then some loud people in suits turned up. Oh please fuck off.Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful pub. (@ The Seven Stars) http://4sq.com/bgAtU9Just saw chris moyles.My client was quoted for two days work to config a cisco asa to work with RSA by another reseller. The actual work takes about 30 mins! Lol!We've finally exchanged contracts on the house! Completion date is Thu 16th September. Finally making traction.@coffeyjulie I am very honoured to make your list, thank you :-) So much so I am going to reward my self with a cup of tea.This is the first place I've been to in a while where you have to pay for tea and coffee. The north south divide I guess? (I'm in leeds...)I quite like the testing phase of a project because I get to work more with other people. And its exciting. What have a cocked up today?@thedeadone Thanks sir! I'm feeling relaxed at the moment because I've never really moved house before. Not properly. Not with furniture.Working on some RSA appliances today...@thedeadone Trying to buy one!@drjohnhawkins sorry no - it's a combo word for in bed and fast asleep. It's so close to one of Lox's words: "pastabed"@timhastings I hope fastabed means drunk.@iainmerrick thanks for highlighting a new area of reckless extravagance I've yet to fully explore!@drjohnhawkins it's another good one, I use "yestago" all the time. My other fave of his is "fastabed" : where's mummy? She's fastabed.@timhastings Excellent innovation from young Mr. Hastings there. I vastly prefer armbo to elbow. Honestly, which idiot came up with elbow?After nursery today, my son Ryan was telling me that Auntie Aye-aye (Alison) has hurt her "armbo" (elbow I presume). God I love him!@ciaran_j thanks, I'm deployed on ubuntu :-)@JamesAddison I hope Jo's recovering ok, poor lamb!@JamesAddison after what must be a couple of years since your recommendation, I've dipped my toe in the nginx water. I like it a lot! Thanks@ciaran_j thanks, it does not affect what I'm doing. It does seem very quick, I don't think I'll be switching back anytime soon. #nginx@ciaran_j I read a warning about file uploads and those clever progress indicators, they don't work with nginx/php as it keeps it & invokes@ciaran_j are the websocket gotchas the "store and forward" behavior I was reading about in the small print?It's hot hot hot on this train...We have a completion date for the house (Thursday 16th September) but haven't exchanged yet. How exciting!Mrs has started a blog. Bound to be filled with rants. http://pigkate.blogspot.com/2010/08/greetings-earthlings.htmlGMail priority inbox looks cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nt3gE9dGHQ&feature=player_embedded@aggroboy Don't think you'll be able to cancel your XBox Live account either: http://bit.ly/bIiCmV@aggroboy That system is horribly, horribly broken.RT @AakashMehendale: http://www.halfarsedagilemanifesto.org/ [Superb, Aakash, simply superb!]@itsjustyou Got any pictures? For insurance purposes, naturally. Are you going to start training off road a bit more now?I keep looking at londons buildings and thinking: Climb or Abseil.. ;-)Coffee. Sunshine. Watching the world go by two minutes walk from my clients Oxford St building. Quick cisco config and then off to Leeds.Back to work! (@ Theale Railway Station) http://4sq.com/arUhwZMmm. Full of food. Nom, nom, nom!I just became the mayor of Fox and Hound on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/9XD0p2Home after a week in Devon with the kids and @sarahmrowan. Had a super time despite the weather. Photos to follow on flickr I guess... :-)I'm at BL Neighbourhood Watch (Blossom Lane, Theale).@timhastings @drjohnhawkins human milk would be rather sweet.
@drjohnhawkins I knew you were going either to translate it or ask chie! :) of course you and your parents are excluded from that comment.:)Time to board the airplane now, farewell japan will most probably see you in november!@brainwipe that's kind of crap sorry to hear that. Special diet from now on?@dokyunko ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????And this is the last night in Kyoto, at least for this trip. Tired, battered, scarred but moving on, leaving Asia will happen in 2 days...@drjohnhawkins I come to the conclusion that you have had far too much Chinese then... :P@timhastings How much did John had to drink to write a cheque like that? Can I have one too? I am officially jealous!Leaving beppu for Kyoto the trip is almost over, 5 days to go...@sealkvis I am really tired but love beppu and onsen so I hold on. Cannot write lot will send you mail soon once this thing is over :)Taking people around japan is proving to be much harder than I expected. But I am not going to give up :)After many years he's on the way to the peace park in Hiroshima, a place where everyone should go once in their lifetime...@dokyunko I was in Beppu long time ago, the hells are great. I might throw someone of the group inside one of them though!! :D@dokyunko Actually today ?? were still alive, but it's really too hot. I love it here, it's a very nice city. Tomorrow we go to Beppu... :PTaking people around japan is proving to be much harder than I expected. But I am not going to give up :)Leaving for Miyajima, truly beautiful place that reminds me of John and Chie. Being in Hiroshima without them feels a little strange.Day 4, still 11 to go. Feels like an eternity.
Quote of the day: "Did you have a good world when you died, enough to base a movie on?"Late night in Tokyo, 2 more weeks to go and I will be home... Well, an home that I need to change in 1 month but still home...Colleague left to Italy, 3 more weeks to go in Japan. I am tired. But alive, which is good. :)In Kyoto, hot weather, tired like hell. But looking at life in a different way...Up and running, it's 8,30 need to go and see some more department stores, just in case I didn't see enough of them!
