Hackety hackety hack. Big push at work so I've been forced to come out of coding retirement to commit my first changeset for 6 months.

Big day for the @wld dev team after months of huge effort. Stunning new Rails-based project is launching, plus an internal demo of a second.
Avoided pancakes today, haven't eaten red meat or drunk coffee in 10 days and just got back from the gym. Expecting my body to mutiny soon.
@BradHaverly Make sure you keep your girlfriend well away from John Terry in the VIP lounge.
Chrome for Mac now supports extensions and bookmark syncing in its beta. I think I'll make it my default browser. http://bit.ly/bExIwb
Driving off to the seaside in the morning. Hoping for candy floss, rock, donkeys and kiss-me-quick hats.
Typically for a town like Windsor, its Waitrose supermarket has sold out of quails eggs. I suppose hens eggs will have to do.
RT @AIannucci: There'll be a 2nd series of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. Huzzah! Huzzah!
Invented chicken, bacon and banana satay kebabs. Won't try that again.
Life doesn't get much better than this.
Sucking up some wifi in Singapore airport as I wait to be locked in a big tube for 14 hours with hundreds of strangers. Gulp.
Flying to Singapore early in the morning for @cronkshaw's wedding week. First task, ignore the jet lag and head straight to the stag do.
@marckysharky Forget about jQuery, have you seen the league table?
With a prefix of "flirty love", the Daily Mail giggles about "newly single" Andy Murray and a *15* year old girl FFS: http://bit.ly/5bPXhH
Picked up some banana plugs from Wokingham. Neither as rude nor as exotic as their name suggests. They do help with my new speakers though.
Not a fan of the new(ish) Audi font. What was wrong with lovely Univers?
Finished baking, cooling and safety testing chocolatey treats for my minions tomorrow.
Forget agony aunts: dating/mating advice by an evolutionary psychologist http://bit.ly/4VJdHC
Nostalgia filled gig with Shed Seven in Kentish Town. All the old favourites and even an Arsenal 3-0 prelude. Happy me.
Feeling mostly human again after a cracking @wld Christmas party last night. Great to mix and dance badly with all our lovely staff.
Done what I've been told - (re)bought RATM's awesome Killing in the Name to help it get to No1 for Xmas: http://bit.ly/4xWuXl #ratm4xmas
After helping woman at Tesco with wine from a high shelf I was asked "can I get on my knees for you for anything." Well it is Christmas...
Loved watching Malcolm's gradual loss of influence and control over this Thick of It series. Can't wait to see his revenge in last episode.
My office has been vandalised by malicious co-workers. Now it looks like I'm a Christmas loving nutter. #humbug http://twitpic.com/rufdj
We're bidding a fond farewell to @ShaunMccran today while welcoming @ClearJanuary and @andrewgarner to the @wld dev team.
Off to see @M_Middleton_UK gig in Shepherds Bush.
Oh Thierry! Your halo has well and truly slipped tonight. Not a fan of Ireland, but that's no way for France to win.
Day 17 of my #movember 'tache and to go with my new Mexican look I'm drinking Corona. ¿Que pasa, gringo? http://twitpic.com/pwss8
Pleased with the XFN rel style lists of the people I follow here.
RT @martinbtt @wld's @taryneast in this month's RoR podcast http://is.gd/4UZKv - (00:50) talking HyperActiveResource with @topfunky
Feeling happy and smiley all of a sudden.
It's a toss up this afternoon between standing in the cold to watch my local football team, or cramming into a warm pub for the rugby on TV.
@BusyJordo Windsor & Eton FC http://www.wefc.co.uk/
Enjoyed my evening in London at the Clapham Common fireworks and meeting friends old and new.
Enjoying the new Kings of Convenience album, especially as NME sneer it's "Nick Drake for the over-30s" http://bit.ly/GkBRf

Ruby on Rails developers, come work with me and our lovely team at White Label Dating: http://bit.ly/1UYPHB
2 days in Oxfordshire at the @wld Partner Conference. 4 presentations to 70 partners = 1 tired me. Great time, but now I need some sleep!
Angel Delight and red wine. A winning combo.
The @wld marketing team have now put that bloody Backstreet Boys song in my head with their video: http://bit.ly/Fb4CW - nice moves!
I've got a whacking great bruise on my arm and no idea how it got there. I'm falling apart.
Gooners, instead of letting Barcelona's tapping up get to you, have a chuckle at the inspired @barcanews (via @arseblog)
Spent a very pleasant evening in Datchet for @nmcadden's birthday. Curry, beer and quizzing. Happy to have recruited such a lovely team.
Mourning the sale of my first car today after seven years. I've got a fistful of notes but it was still sad to see my Polo be driven off.
I think I've got a ghost in my office. Not only is it deathly cold, but I keep finding my blinds open. Could be that pesky @rosswilliams...
