Fair warning to my followers, I’ll probably be moaning about the #NFL and the #Browns tomorrow if the various rumours are true.

Turing pardoned, brilliant. While we’re at it why not pardon everyone else convicted under that nonsense law.

The other 3 people in the office don’t know who Jimmy Stewart is. The worst I can be charged with is manslaughter, yes?

2 minutes remaining and 12 points ahead, yet I’m still nervous when the Browns play the Patriots. Brady and Belichick do that to a person.

I saw dozens stop taking pictures of their recently graduated loved ones to simply see Mandela. I’ve rarely seen a crowd clear so quickly.

Another security alert, this time in Dunmurry. Dicks.

Step 1. Security alerts.
Step 2. mumble mumble mumble
Step 3. United Ireland?

Every once in a while I give the Doctor Who reboot another go, and every time it’s utter shite. Totally abysmal, dreadfully overblown shite.

Sarcastic dancing to the music leaking from my colleagues headphones is probably not the correct response.

Cleveland Browns on Sky Sports at this point in the season. Will wonders never cease?

Finally some meaningful cricket tomorrow with the start of the World T20 qualifiers. Just a pity that all countries don’t have to qualify.

Currently sitting at 1st in #WRGPT. It’s only two days in, but this might be my highlight so I’m making the most of it!

Rambling stream-of-conciousness loosely-related tickets as a specification. How could that possibly go wrong?

Near gridlock near Lagan Valley hospital. Not helped by dreadful driving at the traffic lights by almost everyone.

My word association for the name Davone Bess is “dropped ball”. Not a good sign. #NFL #Browns

Struggle to the death between myself and an XPath expression. It’s now dead, but I think I need to re-grow some limbs. /me walks, falls over

I am forever stunned at the new depths of incompetence that @Translink_NI find with each “update” to their website.

Put important links in footer. Added infinite scrolling to the page. Well played, evil designer, well played.

Spend a frustrating time yesterday trying to diagnose out why a CSS transition wasn’t working. Lunchtime reading showed it’s a Safari bug.

This is the most fun watching the #Browns in years. Hoyer is not perfect but he’s competent so far, and that in itself is welcome.

Finally McQuaid is out at the UCI. About time too.

In returning from my “don’t let anyone spoil Dexter” exile I will just say that the Mayo result depressed me and the Cleveland one didn’t.

My use of swear-words has steadily risen throughout the afternoon culminating in the final minute of the All-Ireland. Now I’m just miserable

Over 3 hours to the start of the All-Ireland Football Final and I’m nervous. I don’t care if it’s a crap match, I just want a Mayo win!

First @blzzrd day where I’ve actually been at home when it arrived :)

I’m choosing to look at the first weekend of the NFL as resulting in the Browns being joint first in the AFC North. It looks better that way

Nice to finally have the NFL back. Granted it’s likely to be another season of anguish as a Browns fan but what can you do.

Having worked for @darrylxxx previously the best I can say for him is that he proved the value of my joining a union many years before.

Alan Lewis is another name on my list of cricket commentators I can’t stand. He’s not quite at the Blofeld/Vaughan level but he’s close.

@blzzrd When is issue 10 being posted out? And can I not get my customary 2 copies this time round? Think of the children.

Apple headphones turning volume down themselves, while ignoring me. Going to look silly on the bus with full-size Sennheisers as replacement

Good result! Mayo into the All-Ireland football final, and got to make Mickey Harte miserable at the same time :)

I am still surprised at how difficult it is for many developers to understand that people may use different tab sizes than their own.

As I’ll be participating in #twittersilence tomorrow (if you can participate in not participating), I’ll say this now. UP MAYO!

Great to see @IrishWomensCric going well against Japan in the World T20 qualifiers. Fine knock from Clare Shillington.

Rapid change for @evvnt, from company many developers had never heard of, to company many developers will never consider working for.

Trent Johnston (@green23) will be missed as a player when he retires in December. Fantastic player for Ireland.

On a literary note, I must recommend CRASH! by @juliangough, on Kindle. An excellent read, much like his books. He also writes a fine email!

Happy Birthday to Brian Cant for his 80th tomorrow. One of the best presenters of my childhood. #briancant80

Blofeld, Tuffnell, and Vaughan on TMS already. The BBC are really doing their best to stop me listening. #ashes

I’m finding it hard to care about this Ashes series. Having another one in 6 months has me feeling that this one is mostly pointless.

The grand conspiracy for the birthday of @ManyHues has come to a successful end. I’m definitely not cut out for deception and intrigue.

@carisenda I can’t fault your logic.

@carisenda I must admit I never even considered rotation on vine. I must pay attention to that when I try it :)

@carisenda Sweet zombie Jesus, what is up with that orientation!

The decline of @BBCr4today continues apace as they ignore important aspects of the Texas story so that they can report it in one sentence.

Well Texans, that really reflects well on you doesn’t it. Don’t forget that many of you voted these idiots in. It’s not just them to blame.

Sitting on my day off watching The Chase. I’m living the dream I tell you!

In replying to email it helps if I don’t leave the message in drafts for 3 days. Granted it also helps to reply sooner than 6 weeks later.

According to my retweet even @YodelOnline online themselves want to get behind the campaign to replace them. Can’t say I blame them.

I wonder how much I could raise on @kickstarter if I promised to start a delivery company to attempt to put Yodel out of business.

Iain Banks will be sadly missed. Player of Games was my first read of his, and I still love it now, and often re-read it.

The Associates & Affiliates podcast I just re-tweeted is excellent for coverage of the teams @Cricketicc doesn’t care about. Worth a listen.

img.ly/vf9GNom! Cheers @niall_adams

I don’t blame @boydrankin for wanting to play Tests. I blame @Cricketicc, including @ECB_cricket, for not allowing him to do so with Ireland

I’m disappointed at how disingenuous @ECB_cricket are regarding @boydrankin no longer playing for Ireland, but not surprised

Both happy and sad to see @boydrankin called up for the England ODI squad. If Ireland could play Tests this wouldn’t be happening.

It looks like I’ll be watching the #IrevPak match while making dinner. Here’s hoping I don’t poison @ManyHues.

Credit to @Irelandcricket for streaming the ODI versus Pakistan today. It’s just a pity that I’m in work while it’s on.

I almost admire the sheer balls of @DiscoverNI and @TitanicBelfast in not commenting on the security issues that plagued them today. Almost.

The site @DiscoverNI are using for GoT tickets seems to be totally insecure. People seeing other peoples details including card information!

I actually feel very sorry for the ticketing staff at @DiscoverNI who are having to deal with a mess someone else created.

@DiscoverNI I choose one time slot, on prices page it confirms it, but when I get to the payment page if tells me a different one.

The words @DiscoverNI, piss-up, and brewery come to mind this morning.

The awesome-level of earth is going to rise so much tomorrow when @Cmdr_Hadfield returns from the ISS. His Bowie video is well worth a watch

The work @Cmdr_Hadfield has been doing on the ISS has been fascinating. I almost don’t want him to come back! #ThankYouCommanderHadfield

I say this every time I get off a call with my parents, but @ManyHues is fantastic for getting them into using Skype and FaceTime.

Changing a function name, not bothering to change everywhere using the old name, and then releasing live will not get you on my good side.

The lemsip I took earlier has barely made a dent. This can not be a good sign.

A number of NI politicians lost any possibility of my vote today. If you don’t support equality then how could I possibly support you.

Impressive @Translink_NI can talk about Smartlink as a money saving option with a straight face when they’re putting the price I pay up 16%.

@Translink_NI A statement about fares going up which contains no information on what they will go up to. Why bother with a website at all?

If I’m this tired now there’s no way I’m going to be awake when the Browns make their first round pick in the the draft tonight.

Clive Tyldsley clearly bemused by the idea that a woman could be involved in running a football team. His idiocy knows no bounds.

@carisenda I’d go to Apple. I used Macsys once, it was a world of pain.

Depressing news regarding Iain M. Banks. I hope he enjoys the time he has left.

Is it really too much to ask that one issue is one ticket on a support system? Apparently the answer is yes :(

@virginmedia cust service have been lovely when talking to them, but keep sending BT engineers to look into the wrong thing. Arrgghh

Anyone looking for a text-based reader could try newsbeuter.org I’ve been using it happily for a while, with Dropbox for syncing.

@Translink_NI I did notice that it wasn’t one of the regular drivers for the route who went zooming by. The regular drivers are fine.

@Translink_NI Why bother publishing a timetable if the bus driver just drives through early and doesn’t stop?

Having “General good health” in a job specification as an essential criteria sets off the HR alarm in my head. Skating close to the wind?

Kevin Eldon has got his own comedy series! About bleeding time!

A quick vote for @DundalkCC would be appreciated. I played for the previous incarnation and it’s tough for a club without a proper pitch.

@Translink_NI I can only assume that the bus that went by without stopping, and not displaying any number, was mine. Great work.

Bugger, caught up on all of my podcasts, and don’t have one to listen to for my walk. Any recommendations?

Giro starting Belfast next year on the weekend of my birthday. I think I know how I’m spending a few days :)

Peeps engaging with @KernelMag remind me of the phrase “never wrestle with a pig, you’ll both get dirty and the pig enjoys it”

Times have sure changed for cricket in Dundalk. MT @DundalkCC: The first indoor training session of 2013 will take place…

Delighted to see that Art Modell didn’t get into the Hall of Fame. Long may that continue. Some things you can’t forgive. #browns #artout

I had somehow managed to miss that @EllisLab have released ExpressionEngine Core once again. Good thinking on their part.

Regarding that previous tweet, they can prise my Issue Zero hard copy of the @blzzrd out of my cold dead hands, and not before that.

@Translink_NI Is Hillsborough being served this morning by the 38/45/238 from Belfast? Cheers.

I so made the right decision to leave work early. RT @Translink_NI: #GLE 238 Belfast to Newry will not serve Hilsborough

Listening to The Organ again brings 2 thoughts to mind. 1) It’s a great shame they broke up. 2) Occasionally @ManyHues finds an absolute gem

@theyellowdoor I’ve just been informed that the chocolate cake recipe has been found!!!

Finally getting around to refactoring a number of scripts to turn them into a single script. The last day of the holiday well spent :)

Balcony, sea view, sun, good book, cup of tea. This is the life!

@Canonisation Casualty seems to be written by Julian Fellows this week. About as subtle as a brick!
