The grass is always greener........

I've joined Tumblr now too. Not sure what I do with all the locations now though.

You're down as owning that other URL via NameSecure.com until 2011. You abandoning it?

How have you added comments to your Tumblr? Is there a setting I'm missing in the customize section? Or have you added some code to the template from Disqus?

I hope the festival is superb and doesn't suffer too badly from immature mickey takers like me. However, you could find a sudden popularity for your website that you weren't planning and, as they say, all publicity is good publicity.

I've just noticed that the camera is not focused on the glass in the foreground but what's immediately behind it.

Just be glad that boys, in general, get this out of their system when they're young. Girls tend to do it from 13 onwards. And, boy, is that difficult.

I fucking love this picture. I had to beg him to let me share it on the 'net because I thought the world deserved to revel in her drugged up fuckedness.

Shame your photography is not as good as your newly found DIY skills.

Re: How to re-tweet properly

theaardvark — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:23:48 -0000

How about "RT" vs "via", which seem to be used interchangably at the moment.

To my mind, if you are directly quoting the original Tweet you should use "RT", which makes it clear that the words are not your own.

If you're simply re-posting an interesting link or picture with your own commentry you should use "Via" crediting the original person with the posting of the link but indicating that it's not a direct quote.

Re: Guess what this is. Today's email circular

theaardvark — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:35:15 -0000

I've edited the text to reflect that.

Whilst the tone of the email might suggest disapproval of such "expenditure", I would welcome decently design prisons in the UK. Far more likely to acheived their intended objectives.

Am I correct that the very first sentence of your very first entry in BiNS contains an error? There seems to be a "to" missing. Not that I'm complaining, you understand. Please keep up this level of minor incompetance. Otherwise I'd give up blogging completely for fear of comparison to your peerless compositions.

I'm just shit at spelling, writing and typing without good reason. Which, I try to disguise by being overly critical of the work of others. Makes me look good, see.

Turns out the Hotel deliberately put out an extra table to fill the room out a little more.

Re: Are Customers Addicted to Handset Subsidies?

I'm not sure about anyone else. But at no point am I ever likely to save enough money to purchase a top-end smartphone like and S4 or Note 2, such as I have become accustomed to owning. £40 a month, however, is something I can afford.

For me, therefore, to decouple the phone cost and the service cost the providers would also have to give credit on the purchase of the phone. And I'm not sure I'd be any better off.

Or M42 J9, an apparently simply roundabout. But you're supposed to spiral out from the middle as you go round and first time users never do causing mayhem as they realise at the last minute that they're in the wrong lane and career across the path of eveyone else or, worse, get trapped in a constant close orbit of the island.

I would want the Mini Cooper. It's the only real "everyday" car on the list that has a classic design look. I can't imagine trying do drive any of the others to work every morning or over the speed humps on our street (expect the Ford Focus, but that's a Ford Focus so doesn't count). Plus, there is no way I could afford to insure anything on that list other than the Mini or the Focus.

I'd never have thought about NFC like that. I could do with one in the place on my desk at work where I put my phone that turns it onto vibrate, etc. I'll have to take a look at that. Cheers. :)

"I want to be clear that this is still our fault."

I find this line incredibly reassuring. Whilst you explain that the initial vulnerability was through a third party, the fact that you are not looking to pass the blame gives me confidence that you are taking the correct approach to this issue and are likely to do whenever any other issues arise.

Once again folks, good work.
