@blech Oh, this theatlantic.com/entertainment/… “It's like throwing a Lolita-themed children's birthday party.”
@blech I read something about exactly that missing of the point the other day. No idea where though, as ever.
@mildlydiverting @yoz @bobigail I missed that first time. Woooo!!!
@suegyford That’s your weekend gone then.
@antimega I think that’s Google’s new motto.
@antimega Open a new tab. Bottom right, next to ‘Recently closed’.
Chrome’s ‘Other Devices’ feature: brill. I forgot the URL for my Candy Box game, but left it in a tab on my sleeping work Mac. Chrome knows.
Top marks for the “pixel”: realdancingirl.tumblr.com
Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied at the Photographers’ Gallery, on net.art, Geocities, etc was brief but quite good. All the pixels.
@mortoni @samuelpepys The Great Fire will happen in 1666, or 2019. You’ll have to be patient!
@Futtrup_Jan I’m not sure I need it right now, and am short of time, but thanks.
@antimega What kind of nut?
@wizardishungry Thanks, it’s already in the queue.
@robertmchardy @philgyfordtest sent me 26 direct messages today. He’s very needy.
“State changed from up to crashed” on your face forever.
@robertmchardy I should introduce you to @philgyfordtest sometime!
@benterrett @alicebartlett @irvinebrown D _ D _ _ _ _ _ O _
@dotcode I’ve got something in my eye…
Just realised the bank holiday threw me, and I’ve been struggling with Tuesday’s crossword instead of Monday’s. That’s my excuse.
@alicebartlett “Was there nothing Ginger Spice accomplished that's musical? (10)”
@phl Hadn’t seen that thanks. Tricky isn’t it: “fail fast” is fine, unless it screws everyone that committed to the failing thing.
“our mission of saving and sharing the Web … the Clipboard service at clipboard.com will be discontinued.” What a bag of wank.
@antimega WE’RE SO EXCITED! (thanks)
