To do it without getting my data stolen by J. Random App, I wrote a Javascript hack that runs locally:

16:44:13 - Is it just me, or does the reversal of JS's regex.string and string.regex seem a bit weird at times?
13:24 UTC - How many M&S chocolate mini bites and flap jack mini bites do I have to eat before it's considered pointless to cook lunch?
00:07:47 - Tonight is the first time I've ever enjoyed getting socks for Christmas. Thanks to @rgaravini :)
23:41:31 - @oachkatzl I did. They all failed to be human ;)
16:47:10 - /me likes the fact that AdAware has a 'Remove Social Media Buttons' option. /me is amused that it has social media buttons on its own page!
13:24:01 - I didn't become a programmer to spend half the day on the phone having to talk to human beings!
09:15:55 - Nightseeing: Where you go abroad but spend so long in the office/conference/trade show that you only know what the city looks like by night!
19:05:44 - @pfig @rockpapershot Surely it'd be better if their server guys knew how to create a site that never err'd ;)
21:25:47 - @HrefnaHelga Tasty! :)
21:25:09 - @Charlotteis Only if I could be bothered to embrace subreddits? (p.s. is this getting too meta?)
21:11:51 - @SimmoBlue @BAFTAGames Consoles = rock. PC = hard place.
21:10:04 - @Charlotteis That means we'll only be a bus ride away from each other... but only if I could be bothered to embrace the 'real world'...
21:08:31 - @thesophie @VizTopTips But I've already crossed out the names, and sent them back to the senders, to save money. What do I do now?
21:06:45 - @tommakesgames @v21 Yep - What @tommakesgames said...
19:35:26 - I saw a URL w/'executive team[..]the most experienced individuals in the industry' but it 404's, do I feel good or bad about my life/career?

08:51:38 - @davorg @BBCNews Helter-skelter gone!?!? :( That was great for using up any single tickets you had left, before they introduced armbands!

13:06:41 - @opentechuk I remember that, since I was giving a talk on making the open movie, Cenobitic. I can't remember it being that long ago, though!
13:02:12 - You can 'fix' the stuck key bug in #Synergy by restarting the X server. Painful, but less drastic than a full reboot.
09:39:05 - "[X] has indicated you are a person they've done business with at [Y] Recruitment" contains a clue that they haven't done business with me.

13:12:41 - @RoyalMail p.s. hope your postman enjoys my deck of cards, that he probably thought was a mobile phone!
13:12:02 - @RoyalMail Thanks - but "I'm sorry we can only accept claims for International items from the sender." means I won't be able to do it.
13:00:21 - @RoyalMail The envelope is the only packaging. I still have it, fwiw.

12:02:08 - The #wifi on OSX just magically started working, after two weeks of random failures. Am going to test it by working downstairs...
08:37:03 - @betsyweber Painfully busy :( 17/19 are easily possible. Or after the daytime activities at Hacked.
10:44 UTC+01 - 6 years. 6 long years. On Thursday it was exactly 6 years since I joined Facebook. In that time I've seen friends come and go, both metaphorically and literally. I've suffered the usual pains of love and loss, where my only company was the schadenfreude of watching them turn into someone I could never have loved. I've enjoyed experiences on four continents that no socially awkward boy, from a small coastal town, should ever have. I've had employers and friends quietly (and sometimes, openly) bully me, and stab me in the back.
But I'm still here.
Facebook has let me witness this in ways I never could before; maybe ignorance would have been bliss - but life is a harsh teacher, and I've learned every lesson. And remembered every name.
This paragraph is where the conclusion normally goes, but I don't have one. So there!
At least I'm still here. Muddling through. And happy in myself.
18:31:17 - @traceyspencer @claw0101 @barbaracassani Still working at home, so won't make it unfortunately.

08:20:15 - Conversations that start 'I used git blame...' never end well :)
13:51 UTC+01 - Two hour lunch break. With beer. Atop the National Portrait Gallery. On expenses.
#therestofthispostcomesunderafirstworldproblemstag
20:56:22 - It took 4 minutes to get through all the intros to pay my credit card. 3 minutes longer than the intros on Babestation... apparently :)

08:40:27 - When talking about education technology, is it #edtech or #edutech ? (Me needs nomenclature!)

10:27 UTC+01 - One of my robots had a argument with the wall and lost :( One of the innocent bystander causalities was the battery which split open to reveal... 6 small batteries. I wonder if there's any smaller batteries inside each small battery?
23:22:01 - @beththomas_ including the book ? :)
18:36:53 - Welcome to Twitter, @edugameshub !

12:56:38 - Working through some 'TODO' notes, I realized I hadn't done any work on my MathGame library since I wrote the first specs two months ago :(
12:53:48 - @ThreeUK @Ofcom Those settings are not honoured, alas. Have installed #Blocker instead. #nolove
12:48:07 - Has anyone played with the #EasyVR Voice Recognition Module? Is it worth the money, knowing the extra h/w & effort it is to get it working?
10:38:34 - @Liwella I just hope they send the same email to lots of other people, too!
09:59:37 - @FreshRob Mine was the same... but with added 'ctrl + alt' ;(

14:20:53 - @tes @simon_amazing Time to build some Arduino and makey makey synthesizers using bananas! (It may even encourage kids to eat fruit!)
13:45:57 - The problem getting #spamcalls from @ThreeUK is,as a phone company, they've a massive set of numbers to use :( Why can't @ofcom do anything?
12:11:32 - Having 80 tasks, all listed as 'high priority' defeats the point of having a priority list!
17:30 UTC+01 - Before last night I had never stepped foot inside the Magic Circle HQ, and nor was I focused in joining. Now I have done the former, I'm actively interested in the latter. Coincidence? I think not!

09:13 UTC+01 - No updates yesterday, since I was super busy at Barcamp #bcb13 My tweets at https://twitter.com/MarquisdeGeek give a few clues as to the shenanigans. Today, however, is work, so no updates on either medium :(
19:58:52 - Heading home after #bcb13 thank you all for a tiring day!
19:58:10 - @AxSaucedo sorry I didn't get to say cheerio properly, I had to run for the train. See you next time!

10:53:38 - @barbaracassani There is no permanence in code, as in life. Everything breaks, eventually.
09:18:47 - Q. The purpose of #twitter? A. To perpetuate the cult of personality! Maybe the most insightful quote of the night... is that good or not?
12:40:02 - Sending the message "you're perfect for the role...send me a CV" is a #fail. Sending it through #LinkedIn means you're a failure! #hr #dumb
08:33:23 - Sometimes I think the only users using #Safari are the #QA team, using it solely to annoy me! :)
12:02:05 - @barbaracassani The curl request to get the original page was taking too long to make it worth experimenting.Might retry with kjscmd
11:17:54 - @barbaracassani 'Sorry, too slow. Please answer within one second.' - Pah! My internet is slow I can't even download the page in that time!

08:40:04 - Is it time for #LEGup yet? No! Oh, well, back to work...
08:49 UTC+01 - According to metrics, my game engine contains 195,098 LOC, took 50.79 person years, and cost $6,861,311 to develop. Since this is a one-man project, done in my spare time, I suspect something's not quite right with those figures. But if someone wants to pay me $6.7M for it, it's yours! #egoboostfortheday

19:37:28 - In a curry house that's just been raided by UK border. Free beer. No food.Epic! With @bryns @longball @betsyweber @traceyspencer @Happy3225
08:31 UTC+01 - My thought process: I'd like to render some fractals in Logo. Let me download some libraries. They're all crap/broken/poorly designed/inadequate. I note that It'd only take an hour to write a decent one. I then plan the canvas connector, so I can use native or SGX bindings to the renderer, to aid with release and uptake. I then realize that I can build a parse tree using the same object approach as my HTML5 Basicode interpreter. Then I notice that I can use some tricks to inject those same parse trees into Logo, so I can call Basicode from Logo source code, and vice-versa. It then hits me that my Scheme interpreter could be written the same way. And now I have a solution to lex, parse, build, and run any (and all) languages together from within the same framework. At the same time. In Javascript. Using HTML5.
And my one hour hack is taking a little longer to implement than planned...

16:07 UTC+01 - When it comes to Maker Faires, is a booth or a talk more prestigious? I've been asked if my talks (on LEGO, and Home Automation) could work as a booth. I can't see how I'd get enough LEGO to build more than 2 models for a booth, and _home_ automation is not something I can transport, since I don't live in a caravan!
15:38:11 - In the time I've spent tracking down errant time zones in the code, I could have flown to the TZ, set source to dest, and it'd just work

17:42 UTC - Maybe one of the reasons I love Lego is that I never had very much of it as a child. When everyone else got a space cruiser, I got the scout ship. If the new toy was a combine harvester, I got last years tractor. And so on. So it's no surprise that the 8860, the technic car chassis, was my geeklust. I was thankful for every present I got, but my parents couldn't afford it, so I did what my parents always said they did as children in this scenario – and go without!
But, over the years, I've amassed enough Lego to build half of it – in mismatching colours, and alternate bricks – using the instruction book, I found as a PDF, online.
So, 32 years later than advertised, I finally lived my boyhood dream of making the 8860.
