- 09:53am: @russelldavies I hope all the people selling robots are dressed as Jawas.
- 01:19pm: Hatton Garden's such a great street. The shops and people somehow make it feel like New York or somewhere, which is a good thing. And, sun!
- 02:14pm: @mondoagogo That probably adds to it, but without them I’d still feel the same.
- 02:18pm: @revdancatt Ooh, twee-tastic, tempting!
- 02:25pm: @mondoagogo Briefly: straight road; wide pavements; nearly all shops not offices; street life (people standing, talking); a community.
- 04:18pm: @foe @moleitau Congratulations! Very exciting!
- 04:44pm: Sid Meier’s Civil-list-ation #gamesbyroyalappointment
- 04:58pm: Elite #gamesbyroyalappointment
- 07:53pm: That code that I wrote the other day that was quite pleasing but in retrospect doesn’t work properly. That’s the one.
- 07:53pm: @tomtaylor Is it a MEGA pizza?
- 07:58pm: @tomtaylor If you eat it all, you might get a MEGA award!
- 08:31pm: Yay, I won a tiny bit of a Guardian MEGA award for http://www.playsuperme.com/ . Congrats everyone! Have fun! I’m coding!
- 09:24pm: I won a bit of a #megas2011 award for SuperMe but I’d like to give it back because iHobo won some, which is just embarrassing. Who do I see?
- 09:30pm: @smithsam What money?
- 09:32pm: @smithsam As I say, I only won a tiny bit of an award. And so didn’t have to pay anything.
- 09:44pm: Final commit of the week. My back says: Yay!
- 09:51pm: @mildlydiverting Better chairs :)
- 10:33pm: Checking that I wasn’t wrong today when I stood up (a bit) for Bis. YOU’RE GALACTIC!
- 10:34pm: @dotcode Maybe you should stick to what you’re goo... oh, actually, carry on! :)
- 10:48pm: @revdancatt Yes, turns out Bis’s best was even better than I remembered. Must go to bed before I disappear down a 1990s rabbit hole.
- 10:49pm: @stml The party’s at its end / A style is named and it’s dead / There is no latest trend / I eat just what I’m fed.
