 00:37:21  -  Ouch (part 3)! Then @EMTrains gets stuck behind slow @FirstCC so I'm back so late I need a taxi-but the fare's double because of the time:(

 00:36:28  -  Ouch (part 2)! Then @EMTrains is full of double-booked reservations - cue an hour of drunken football fans blocking the aisle, and arguing.

 00:35:13  -  Ouch (part 1)! First, #LiverpoolStreetStation sell me a ticket that doesn't go from the station. (p.s. @nationalrailenq sort it out!)

 19:11:32  -  The ratio of Hotmail saying "We can't connect to Outlook at the moment" vs Google saying "We can't connect to Gmail" is staggeringly biased!

 18:54:30  -  @MarmiteJunction Don't worry about it... embrace it...

 17:46:55  -  I took a (late) lunch to watch 'The Untouchables'.The irony of drinking a beer whilst watching prohibition-based film is not lost! #notirony

 20:14:26  -  So, if you were the last living creature left alive, how long before you go crazy, starve, or try suicide? #gedanken #fridaynightandworking

 19:33:01  -  My TODO list has 'Rewatch The Prestige' on it. This actually counts as research, in my capacity as magician. I love having so many 'jobs' :)

 14:36:48  -  I actually wanted to make a pithy quote about 'On a different level, #Wolfram is on a different level'... but 140 characters aren't enough:(

 14:35:41  -  On one level the #Wolfram language is symbolic programming with a great library & data set. On the other, it's epic! https://t.co/BiQ1a30fUF

 11:42:13  -  OH: The film "her" is just a chick flick. They include the words 'operating system' to trick the boyfriends into going along.

 15:35:47  -  Missing 1 tick box on a config panel means I have to manually re-tick it on all 79 entries-even though the UI implies it's a global option:(

 08:48:23  -  Met lots of friends, old and new, last night at BUGS. Big love to Bafta for hosting it, too!

 08:44:32  -  @OliBarrett Shouldn't that be 'tea and a Jaffa biscuit'? ;)

 08:39:28  -  @stuherbert Doesn't really. I just like the idea! (That said, the initial hatred of iOS 7 has died down now, it seems.)

 13:28:37  -  @MarmiteJunction The reason is this, https://t.co/CUZWuAn0jQ, surely!

 12:48:55  -  @MarmiteJunction It might be documented, but that doesn't prove people are going to bother reading it. Or learning from it.

 11:39:55  -  @betsyweber @FastCompany Magicians being worshipped like film stars is something I can, obviously, relate to ;)

 11:00:01  -  @TheRealJackDee Although rail companies are suggesting you make unnecessary journeys if possible.

 10:29:50  -  Tonight's industry shindig is entitled ''How can the UK become a top 3 games maker again?" At least I get to visit #bafta HQ again.

 12:21:05  -  The #FOSDEM write-up has references to @teabass and @ThreeUKSupport - guess which is more favourably mentioned!

 16:42:07  -  I was going to find a duster to clean my speakers... but instead I put on Queen and turned it up to 11 :)

 10:54:45  -  I'm presuming the literal word _for_ meaning 'as a normal employee', since the CxO will probably work with as many startups as they can.

 10:52:42  -  OH: If you're smart you only ever work for one successful #startup. Either you cash in and retire, or your boss does.

 17:01:57  -  @ID_AA_Carmack From a console view,GPL/LGPL are incompatible with NDAs.And most game code is hacky-you'd rewrite anything GPL before release

 16:58:28  -  @ID_AA_Carmack The game libraries under the GPL helped many devs understand what constituted an engine, which helped me find better hires.

 11:43:48  -  My random music player just played Emilie Chytraeus and transported me back to a random night in Bethnal Green, many years ago... wow...

 09:17:33  -  Sorry @lcfpl I'd lost connectivity and didn't see the msg until now :( FWIW, I default to Delerium Cafe, and then move to quieter pubs after

 23:03:22  -  Finally made it home after an exhausting #fosdem. Thank you everyone! See you next year...

 15:46:48  -  I have no idea why (or how) I'm still awake, but I made it thru the last #fosdem talk... Without hurting the muppet that talk during q&a :(

 15:04:27  -  @thebeebs I think the answer you're looking for is "very well, thank you" :)

 15:01:35  -  I've been learning cheese and wine pairing from @josetteg ... One of huge less usual tutorials at #fosdem :)

 14:10:06  -  I really like the idea of suffixing data types with dimensions to describe units. E.g. Int16/m/ distance; could be done with classes,I guess

 14:04:34  -  @jkg And you decided to waste even -more- time by posting that on twitter... ;)

 13:11:15  -  Saying that something is "incredibly nerdy" is a good thing. I like the guy already :) #go #fosdem

 12:02:06  -  Why -wouldn't- everyone want to hear a talk about a 'fluksokube' ??!?! #fosdem #IoT

 11:30:27  -  @ThreeUKSupport *can't

 11:04:56  -  Goode morning #fosdem I am in you!

 11:04:31  -  @ThreeUKSupport I can dm you, since you're not following me...

 18:02:42  -  Good night #fosdem. Thanks for a great day...I'm now off to the pub :) you're all welcome to join me!

 16:55:06  -  @malditogeek thanks for your talk at #fosdem lots of links for me to explore.Do you know which ports are used? Or how do you determine them?

 16:42:18  -  @mrlockyer use three slashes, instead often of two, and it'll work!

 15:44:49  -  @Montberte but almost everything makes me angry. Is that a good thing?

 15:43:28  -  @AxSaucedo is that #fosdem?

 15:42:13  -  Note to self: look into swagger, for REST APIs.

 15:40:24  -  Cloudius has API based configuration. Yes please! #fosdem2104

 15:20:33  -  Waiting for the osv talk by @penberg ... Convinced it should be renamed "I, cloudius", however :)

 12:31:28  -  Lightning talk on entangle is inspiring me to take up astrophotography... Not that I need a new hobby! #Fosdem2014

 11:35:07  -  Being told to 'make more awesome' at #fosdem. Ok... Will :)

 11:20:37  -  Only 80 minutes until my #fosdem talk. Yay!

 11:20:08  -  P.s. If @ThreeUKSupport could tell me why they switched off my phone roaming (then put it back) it'd be appreciated!

 09:26:35  -  My journey to @fosdem starts here... First the train... Then the pub. #nothingchanges #fosdem

 17:59:44  -  @MarquisdeGeek And by 'magic room' I mean, the room in which I store +practice magic. Not a room that is literally 'magic'..that'd be silly!

 17:56:16  -  I put a motion sensor in my magic room, and added a #hue light. When I enter it switches on..waits..then turns random colours til I leave :)

 16:49:03  -  In 24 hours I should be in Brussels for @fosdem For those that want to remember last year, here's my diary http://t.co/kTk2nYWHWI #fosdem

 11:10:46  -  Dear #Twitter, if you think the discover channel is 'tailored' to me, but you included stories about Kim Kardashian, then it isn't! #badai

 10:35:09  -  Try to beat me! My Ruzzle username is 'steev7'. @ruzzlegame #ruzzle http://t.co/LJZ3IY4ljp

 21:11:29  -  @Charlotteis Or, to put it another way... it's magic ;)

 20:40:19  -  @Charlotteis MS13E motion sensor sends RF to TM13 which puts X10 msg on power line,that CM11 intercepts,which I then poll & call Festival.

 19:03:14  -  RT @WayraUnLtd: First up after the break is @DNADigest - a different kind of code for our tech accelerator - #socent http://t.co/RwvelvgvsX

 19:00:53  -  Writing code that works from MS13E #X10 messages is slow work, since there's a minimum one minute delay. #iot #homeautomation #minerva

 10:19:29  -  Just because the website/app/game costs zero, doesn't mean the effort is zero. And therefore the wages must not be zero. #dontworkforfree

 10:15:51  -  @YourSinclairRRY What about Sinclair Programs? Or Sinclair Projects?

 11:20:54  -  Thank you to those that created a WiFi hotspot called 'RestrictedAccess'... and made it open... means I don't need to expose my phone# to O2

 08:24:24  -  Just received an invite to #BUGS. And it wasn't spam. This isn't the game the industry normally works ;)

 08:22:39  -  @agAitcheson @gamasutra I can't comment as it's not a game I'm overly familiar with. Given the timeframe, though, I bet it's not DC-related!

 08:16:13  -  @agAitcheson @gamasutra Of consumers not loving the exclusivity with DC? Or of key staff leaving to other roles? Very likely a combo of both

 08:12:54  -  @freetronics @vk5fj Dang! Someone beat me to it :( [Although I was doing it in Javascript, tbh]

 08:00:13  -  @adafruit Or this, http://t.co/c5ZEvFyv7L, surely?

 07:45:45  -  @agAitcheson @gamasutra Looks more like franchises 'losing their charm' (to quote the article) than Sega doing anything specifically wrong.

 07:42:53  -  @vk5fj The committee said 'Nom' :) Note to self: need to do a control when not ill, also!

 10:39:57  -  Hey - @WorkingMatt - how are getting along with the back palming of your business card? ;)

 10:13:17  -  I am apparently famous enough to have as ISNI! (No I didn't know what they were, either.) I'm 0000 0000 5044 9624, since you asked :)

 08:38 UTC  -  When someone in the IoT/Home Automation business emails you that "wow I didn't know you had done Minerva" I could either be: 1) Cynical, about them wanting to use your name as leverage 2) Happy, that they think your name *is* leverage Today, I'm choosing the latter :)

 10:40:43  -  Employees leave office on Friday. They arrive back Monday. In between their company tech has been built & migrated by 2.5 people. Epic work!

 12:25:45  -  Less than 10% of space free on all 5 of my drives! Do I prune, stop hoarding, and consider what I really need... or just buy more discs?

 12:36:40  -  Note to self: don't take security cameras offline to save CPU. They'll get away with it again :( #subtweet

 23:09:41  -  The film 'Good copy, bad copy' is just like an episode of Bullshit! Would @pennjillette & @MrTeller film the links for me to remix into one?

 11:26:58  -  My new hard drive is for backups. My new hard drive is for backups. Ooops... there's only a few gig left on my normal disc... #tempting

 09:28:25  -  @Charlotteis But Blue Monday is an ecstatically great track!

 23:04:05  -  There are very subtle differences between $* $@ "$*" and "$@" Getting them correct along the argument chain is necessary for good code #bash

 17:10:14  -  I've had a #recruiter asking forgiveness for their 'beige approach'... what is a 'beige approach'? Is it the new term for '#spam'?

 12:55:22  -  There are many lessons and stories about #digital #archaeology here's one about the #Cray that just crossed my desk http://t.co/EmWLtFeIRH

 01:54:15  -  @barbaracassani -9

 01:53:19  -  But it should have been @HrefnaHelga , right? ;)
