  • 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 #

  • 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 #

  • 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. #
