First beer spillage in the new house. Now it feels like home! I knew there was a reason to get IPA coloured carpets. #fb #
There's a crowd (swarm?) of beekeepers gathering outside the office. #fb #
Had enough. Can I go home now please? #fb #
Thank you @thameswater, mystery solved. #
60% of my "missed" calls are from the same recruitment agency. Persistent but not very quick on the uptake. #fb #
Bloody hell. Just stumbled across @edie (http://www.edie.net/) on Twitter. That takes me back. #wickedweb #fb #
So @thameswater sent me a final demand for a bill they claim to have sent on 14 July. But I only gave them my details on the 22nd. ???? #
Possibly, no probably, the worst thing I've seen on telly for a long while. #Vexed #

Reached that point where I need to make it more-or-less look right in IE6. Wish I could go hardboiled like @malarkey but not this time #

I've just been followed down the road by Batman. And Spider-man, And a pirate. Oh, and the Pope. #fb #
Switch computer on for first time in new home. 4 wireless networks found. 0 unsecured. #fb #
Living in one room. Rest of house resembles a building site. Grumpy levels at 10. Was it all worth it? I think so but time will tell. #fb #

Packed. Just about. Need to seal and label some boxes. Empty the fridge. Disconnect the washing machine. Oh and sort out the computer… #fb #
whimper #
2002 price list from a miniatures company I can't even recall? Balliol Annual Record 1992-2010? Both gone in the recycling. #oddbedfellows #
Packing. Hmm. Books >>>> Boxes. Problem. #fb #
Only moving ~6 miles to the next borough. But the recycling rules are completely different. What's that all about? #fb #

Gas, Electricity, Water, Council Tax all sorted. Letting agent inspected old flat. Removal firm confirmed and paid. Getting there… #fb #
… It seems that Virgin Media are the only cable company to cover the area. Any opinions on them? #
… which sucks, so getting Internet via cable seems sensible. Which logically means getting TV via cable as well … #
There's a phone line and cable and a satellite dish. None of which are active. There's no aerial. Max broadband speed in the area is 5Mb … #
Bitter Shandy – the taste of summer #fb #
Moving firm gave us 10 small + 10 large boxes. "Most" of the DVDs fill one small box. And we have 10x more books than DVDs. Hmmmm… #fb #

How long before I get used to the new BBC News web site? Logically I can see things that are better but emotionally – "Change! Waaaah!" #fb #
Carpet on top of laminate flooring on top of hardboard on top of the floorboards. WTF? All needs to come up to get at the wiring. Sigh #fb #
So, to let the electrician into the new house at 7:30am tomorrow. I need to be awake and leaving the old house at WTF o'clock! #
House. Completed. Have keys. Have quote for rewiring. Have date for moving. Lots of cleaning to do. Timescales tight. Knackered. Happy. #fb #
I'm in ur CSS, over riding ur selectors !important is serius biznis #
This is some very ugly CSS. I'm deep into specificity conflicts between the 10 stylesheets that someone else saw fit to include in the page. #
OFFS. The words "work" and "home" really trigger the spam bots don't they? #
Once every 2-3 months I need to do proper graphics work at home. Is that enough to justify the cost of Photoshop? 'cos I'm hating GIMP. #fb #

3 Blogs updated to WordPress 3.0. Must find time to redo my theme and play with the new features. #
I could take 32 @justinbieber's in a fight! http://theoatmeal.com/quiz/justin_bieber via @oatmeal #
Last night I dreamt I was buying a house from John Simm 'cos we were both wearing Wales rugby tops. It doesn't make sense to me either. #fb #
Just some plastic being blown about by the wind. #butthisisreallife #fb #
Ooo, there's a very strange noise outside. I wonder what it is…? #ifthiswasahorromovie #fb #
Take the Big Gamer Survey 2010 before it ends! Plus you could win free games too! http://playfire.com/gamersurvey/3332313536 #

A very inaccurate one. If I had to guess I might go with Pachyrhinosaurus (@supernicemango)http://yfrog.com/mwvo7j #
Getting annoyed with Apple… #
Doctor Who was rather good. But there's nothing else on telly tonight. #fb #
Day two of #wdx #atmedia was great stuff, lots of HTML5 goodness. I got to quickly catch up with @mattb – it's a long time since Balliol #fb #
Survived day one of #wdx #atmedia Enjoyed the talks on mobile web and SVG. But the silver bags? Oh dear. #fb #
And going by train is effectively two sides of a triangle, but going by any other means takes even longer #fb #
Bollocks. I have to get up how early to make it to #atmedia despite only living 5 miles away? Trains all run the wrong way… #fb #
Learnt today – at Whitechapel Station the Overground line is below the Underground line. #
Trying to solve a problem that isn't quite Information Architecture and isn't quite Technical Architecture but somewhere nebulous in between #
