Thanks @MiriamKerbache. You’re an absolute star. Much appreciated!

Quality work from @sainsburys. Website “down for maintenance” when amending order. When back it wouldn’t let us use the same delivery slot.

“Who has a wedding on New Years Eve?”, says @ManyHues, who has clearly forgotten her own “special day” with me!

I remember when Google used to be a useful search engine that looked for the things I actually told it to.

I’ve spent too much time in this bathroom in the last few days (and nights). I might just set up a bed in the corner to save travel time.

Very disappointed with @studentsoftware. Hardware not working properly when it arrives, and customer “care” totally unhelpful.

@NFLGamePass That’s probably the closest we’re going to get to an admission that you know the problem is at your end, isn’t it?

@nflgamepass Stream quality today is awful. Before you tell me to contact customer support, check your mentions, clearly a general issue.

Regarding that last retweet, hopefully this version won’t be treated as shabbily as the last attempt which was slowly and quietly dropped.

The process of choosing a new web host (for the first time in 8 1/2 years) is going to begin this weekend. Always a fun task slump

Fair to say that waking up early to watch the condensed version of the @Browns game before work was totally the right decision to make :)

Went to install Pocket Trailer and was slightly surprised to see @mauricerkelly looking back at me from the preview image on the App Store.

Announcement that the train is delayed (with no mention for how long), website lists it as cancelled, so it turns up unannounced. Quality.

@Translink_NI Have you just cancelled the 08.37 from Dunmurry without announcing it? A few delays announced, and then on to the next train?

As a @Browns fan it appears I may need some explanation of this “winning record” concept that’s being mentioned nowadays.

The recent update from @juliangough on his Kickstarter project may be my favourite thing he’s ever written. Not a wasted word.

@NFLGamePass Can’t turn off iPad captions. Subtitles in Accessibility off, game CC off, tried changing language, reset iPad. Still on. Bug?

Now that @Twitter put favourites from people you follow into your timeline you’re going to see a disturbing number of cat pictures from me.

Yes @Twitter, I am reporting every account I don’t follow that appears in my timeline only because someone favourites a tweet. Wise up.

I suspect the answer to that last retweet may be “plain text” given that @Propertynewsni seem reluctant to answer @szlwzl directly.

Last RT, help the fine @juliangough write his novel. Writer of fine books, short stories, tweets, and, long ago, songs.

References to Cthulhu and the Deep Ones in an rspec test; top marks to the authors.

I discovered while out getting lunch that head office is just up the road from @WNYC. For some reason I found that quite exciting. Weird.

If I were to move to the US my first purchase would be a kettle, and then I would drink so much tea with boiling water.

I’m still confused as to how my culture isn’t being disrespected when my flag is on top of someone else’s bonfire, but theirs apparently is.

Talk of Garth Brooks means the important issue is being ignored. Connacht final on Sunday and I need to find somewhere to watch it in NY!

Last working day almost done at @Tascomi. A day off tomorrow and then in to @ShopKeep on Monday morning :)

I’m already looking forward to the Brasil - Colombia quarter-final. Uruguay had better not come back into this.

One of the developers has gone to ask another for advice (about a phone). I worry about how they’ll fend for themselves once I’ve left.

I am watching 4 developers attempt to make a phone work. This is not inspiring.

That @cricsheet retweet seems relevant due to the @ICC currently screwing over everyone bar the 10 Full Members and it being the World Cup.

While I was never a fan of @TestMatchSofa it was filling a valuable role as an alternative to the dross some of the BBC TMS lot serve up.

The saving grace of the England result is that we may soon have a half-time where we don’t head to the England camp for an update.

The fact that Alvaro Pereira is still on the pitch is disgraceful. There’s no way he should be allowed to continue without a proper check.

Just starting to watch the Ghana vs USA match now, and finally the BBC red button has an option for no commentary. Must be the Savage factor

We’re finally at that point where I need to check the papers each day in an attempt to find a good World Cup wallchart. So close.

Nice to see #rallyagainstracism well attended. Also good to catch up with @Canonisation and @dietcokedamo.

MT @ManyHues: Saw pic of Vancouver pic.twitter.com/mOOusxUGPzand my 1st thought? How many Immortal sword fights are happening in that pic ;)

@NIElectricity I assume you’re aware of the power cut in Dunmurry?

Glitter, there’s glitter everywhere! I’m worried I might have some on my tongue. I hate cards with glitter on them!

Finally moved to using mutt for my work email. Things have become a little bit nicer.

I’m not entirely sure how Richard Scudamore is still in his job, or at least not suspended pending an investigation.

@BelfastRuby Did I miss the link for the Trello board being posted somewhere?

@annetteIRL I take it you did make it though the marathon unscathed?

My lungs may have finally decided to stop trying to escape every time I cough, but that still doesn’t make the experience a fun one. Uggh.

Woohoo!!!!

Going to sleep hoping to wake up tomorrow to a win from @IrishWomensCric at the #WWT20. Fingers crossed.

Occasionally I look at code by a colleague and ponder the bat-shit insanity that took hold as they wrote it. Never has comments, of course.

Enjoyable evening at @BelfastRuby with @swmcc and @annetteIRL. Lovely to see them both :) Thanks to @brrygrdn and @cobyism too for the talks

Another delivery from @HermesDelivery. Two packages in the bin, didn’t ring the doorbell, and lied about the delivery date on the form.

Workplace oppression continues with another new “right-handed” kettle. One day lefties will rise, once we work out the scissor issues.

Recruiter thinks it’s alright to email me at a work address about another job. That type of “professionalism” keeps me away from a place.

Every once in a while I’m reminded of the wonderfulness that is “git add -p”. This morning is one of those times.

Anna Lo was easily my favourite political representative when I lived in South Belfast. We could do with more like her. #istandwithanna

Lovely win for @Irelandcricket over the West Indies. Hopefully they can follow it up in the 2nd T20I.

@ryancunning I had toast for dinner, TOAST! That’s all I could face eating. I blame you for this! Or John. Work that out between yourselves.

@SyfyUK Are you just skipping episodes of DS9 that you don’t like? 2nd time in a week sadly.

Not everyday you get to introduce someone to the joys of @WilliamShatner performing Rocket Man. I’m not sure @ryancunning will ever recover!

@johnoxtonking Hello. I just want possibly interesting ramblings :)

Namath apparently going to Rura Penthe after the game #SuperBowl #StarTrek

I believe that common sense and forward thinking should be applied when making requests for a project. Sadly others don’t seem to agree.

@annetteIRL Uugh, don’t remind me. That series tailed off horribly.

Should I just withdraw myself as a candidate for the Cleveland @Browns head coaching job now and save some time? This is depressing.

Met @Cmdr_Hadfield and was mostly tongue-tied. Queued for two hours, it was totally worth it. A lovely man. I may never wash my hand again!

@carisenda I can but hope :)

load average: 569.03, 595.46, 541.76. I’m going to guess something isn’t right.

For balance, @Translink_NI drivers I deal with on my route are a nice bunch. Sadly let down by the company they work for at times though.

@Translink_NI Having bus timetables on posters in Lisburn Bus Station would be a great idea. Especially when the screens aren’t working.

Myself and @ryancunning just had a conversation about teapots and the hierarchy of mugs for tea. That’s one way to end the working day.

On the way home from a few leisurely hours shopping in Belfast, after having lunch and catching up with @swmcc. Always a pleasure to see him
