Snooping around the sleepy village where @larrylou100 is teaching at from Sep. Bit quieter than Slough.

Spending a happy day with #6music. #adamandjoe were on top form and now Liz Kershaw's playing Elastica and Steve Mason. #lovetheradio
@BradHaverly Retweeting Kelly Osbourne and admiring nice Dolly Parton: worried about you this evening.
Love this developer job ad: "To apply, check the HTTP headers." http://bandcamp.com/jobs#developer
Irritated to find that my design skills from 2009 are far better than what I can do now. #outofpractice
Saw Doug Stanhope in a tiny venue in Leics Sq tonight. Tomorrow he's at the Apollo. Very funny and adept at dealing with hecklers.

Sitting at a small table with my iPad, wine and crisps. Surprisingly easy to write on the screen, plus no distractions. http://twitpic.com/4dlm7o
Friday night in with @larrylou100 and Bess the dog. Not visible: endless canine flatulence. http://twitpic.com/4d96f8
Great looking niche dating site just launched on @wld: HotForGinger (http://hotforginger.com) One of the best designs I've seen on our platform
That was painless. My Orange iPhone now switches to/from T-Mobile as part of the merged Everything Everywhere system: http://everythingeverywhere.com
Watch @AdrianPoynton's White Van Man on BBC3 at 10:30 tonight. I hear it's like Spartacus but with more swearing, nudity and fighting.
Pleased with Due, a reminder iPhone/iPad app that badgers me repeatedly until I do what I keep putting off - http://www.dueapp.com/
Watching out for conspirators today. Beware the Ides of March!
"Barry, I wanted to reach out to you..." => email deleted.
Eating pancakes while watching Barcelona v Arsenal is not good for my heart

Struggling to find a sun holiday with @larrylou100. Every potential option is ruled out by TripAdvisor horror reviews.
Black day for SagePay, our payment provider, who has been up and down all day. PR disaster too: http://www.facebook.com/SupportedForSagepay http://twitter.com/search/sagepay
I can't imagine Rooney being as charming with supermarket staff as his strike partner: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=48417446&postcount=1612 /via @zonal_marking
Testing oembed with twitpic. Here's a photo of some of the @globaldev team away from their Macs http://twitpic.com/454utv
Even though I have Office and iWork, I force myself to use Google Docs. Its simplicity means I can't play with design/layout and just write.
On a train travelling through major parts of SW London. Orange coverage is a disgrace. May as well be tweeting via smoke signals. Avoid.
Ordering database servers with a staggering 144Gb of memory each. Yes, that's memory not storage.
Waking up to the terrible news from NZ about the death and destruction from the Christchurch earthquake. Thoughts are with kiwis today.
Just spent an eye-watering £65 to fill up my car. I think that's a personal best (or worst).
Happy birthday @larrylou100. I may not have watched Arsenal beat Barcelona, but I've spent a lovely evening with you. Time for cake.
Using microformats to show you fancy someone. Geeks do it with rel="crush" http://bit.ly/e36J49 /via @currybet
Forget Valentine's Day, I'm currently giddy to learn that the new @radiohead album #thekingoflimbs is out on Saturday http://rhd.cc/jd19
Cracking day at the rugby this afternoon. Italy left a few holes but England were far too good anyway. Time for a curry!

Nursing @larrylou100 back to health after being concussed this afternoon. Treatment includes chinese, chocolate and a dreadful romcom.

Finally saw The King's Speech last night. Thoroughly worth all the acclaim it has had.
Door-to-door bible bashers: if you're trying to convince me there's a God, don't use the Garden of Eden story as your main argument.
Sad to be missing out on a London reunion with ex colleagues tonight, but happy to be making progress with rebooting the @globaldev team.
This has ruined my Friday. Sickening. http://goo.gl/Kfgu
Subverting the system: scoffing a chocolate muffin with the queen's head on. Thanks @timblair #muffinanarchy
Git, Heroku, Ruby, PostgreSQL, Sinatra, Active Record... getting back to some hacking and learning.
Masterstroke from Sky: replace Andy Gray with Sam Allardyce in the commentary box so that we're left begging for the sexist Scot to return.
I've booked a haircut at a fashionable salon with a stylist called Misty. Preparing myself for a Geek Pie, yeah? http://youtu.be/WKS6ShrGrog
