roadcc Oxford cyclist killed by cement lorry – 74-year-old driver bailed on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving road.cc/47187 #cycling
@jogaway erm…
British Sea Power - always good value live! Super gig. So much for the 10pm curfew tho.
Secretly quite pleased to see “curfew 10pm” on tonight’s gig ticket.
Right then: signing off from Banbury Road!
Its no good trying to carry on working any more. Going to have to do some packing.
Just had to unpack the kettle to make tea.
Ugh. Browser is definitely rendering text in Arial, despite being told (and claiming) to be using Helvetica. WHAT IS GOING ON!?
Packing desk into crates (again).
Last Monday morning a van drove into me (very slowly, but still). I am noticing a pattern emerge.
Tyre blow out half-way down Cowley Road. Me and Monday mornings just don’t get on.
Liked that. Beautiful music in a beautiful setting. How nice to just sit and listen.
Never taken my shoes off at a gig before. Don’t want to get the kneelers scruffy.
At St. Michael at the Northgate church for a North Sea Radio Orchestra gig. Pews are good.
Also: i touched a sheep. An actual wild one in a field.
Cotswolds stroll, pub lunch, cup of tea - all good.
Loving this week’s Later Live. Tempted to stay up for the real thing…
Have had a lovely week at work, coding up some new website templates. Don’t get to do this very often, so making the most!
We are hiring crates from a company called teacrates, however the crates are not full of tea.
@jamesdoc please do…
@jamesdoc ok, that’s significantly more important than what i’m thinking about!
@jamesdoc actually, if you’re not well, i’ll leave you alone. this won’t help!
@jamesdoc busy? can i come and pick your brains on something?
I reckon its time to dig out the winter cycling kit.
Saw an old couple crossing the road today. Pretty sure they were the couple from the road sign.
(Happy Oxford Martyrs day)
Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.
Lovely Sunday lunch plus a stroll over Shotover. This weather is great.
Now catching up on missed lie-in.
Excellent times at church music training day yesterday (even for a PA person).
Taken to describing my day in HTTP status codes. Earlier I had a 416. At the moment: 504. Two hours time: 410.
@jamesdoc They’re quite eager (down here at least) that we call it by its proper name.
@jamesdoc there’s a swear-box in the canteen for all uses of ‘street’. @jogway has contributed £1 so far.
@jogaway you got the hashtag right then…
So, how do I get a poster tube home on my bicycle?
Doing lots and lots of deleting old code.
Today I am mostly using the colour orange (to make this Gantt chart more exciting).
@philhenly if you can make images and use a content management system you’ll be fine with http://t.co/OCawRnW5 (it costs tho!)
A thing I (sort-of) made: The new @UCCF App for Android, iPhone & iPad is now available: http://t.co/lR9Wj2SH http://t.co/ERs3YTj7
@jamesdoc Nah, they made it and they wants their name on it. Fair enough.
Proper project briefs don’t use words like “widgety”, do they?
…aaand, another “early night” turns into 11.30.
It was so windy last night, I didn’t spin out coming down Headington Hill, but did coming back the other way along High Street.
So, weekend highlights: food/friends/wine, parental visit, tasty lunch in Dorchester, all-round good church-times, bread not dropped.
@jamesdoc As I always say, “if its from Wildbit, its probably pretty OK”.
@jamesdoc just wondering about how we can manage lists well - when we’re potentially trying to hold data in sync across 3 databases (ugh).
@jamesdoc are you upstairs lot doing anything with the MailChimp API?
Plotting and planning. Scrawling over multiple sheets of A3 paper and generally thinking too hard. This is fun!
Replying to emails like it’s 1999. (or, like it’s 6 months ago)
Just tried to write down the letters ‘S’ and ‘W’. Wrote the letter ‘C’ twice. I worry about myself sometimes.
Why won’t people fit into the nice tidy boxes I create for them?
@jamesdoc “6 for 6:30” means “everyone turn up at 6.25”, doesn’t it?
Looking back on and thanking God for my little expedition to Kenya this summer.
Ugh. Reply All. Ugh.
Booking for gigs with (Brighton’s finest) British Sea Power and (featuring a bassoon) North Sea Radio Orchestra this month. Coming?

Punting in October. This is weird, but I won’t argue.
Good weekend to pick to be ill. Hmph.
