Going to bed for a bit. Could someone fix things while I'm gone? @tomcoates, you'll be awake. Ta. I owe you one.

@johndodds Is this a play?! I do hope it's not real.

@tomstuart How about a new Radio 4 game where you have to talk for as long as possible without actually asking a question.

This is like a televised Radio 4 game, where they must collectively talk for as long as possible. Except pauses and repetitions are allowed.

@0898CHEATHCO The one on TV about a polling station :)

@johndodds WHY, YES JOHN, THEY DO DON'T THEY!

Whoever did he CGI version of Andrew Neil made a mistake on his hair. So unrealistic.

@anneshewring Pace yourself - you might have five more years to go.

Worried the BBC's election coverage is an episode of Doctor Who and the eerie MP avatars will come to life and destroy the galaxy.

😥

Plays are odd. People in a room standing too still, striding too far, shouting too loud, and staying too long.

@neovintage @yoz Not sure off the top of my head. But also the jump from $9 to $50 is a big one for small/side projects.

@neovintage @yoz @HerokuPostgres 10K rows doesn't seem much for anything interesting in my experience unfortunately.

@yoz Ta. But only free for 1 year… Not sure how to compare to Heroku, but I imagine it’d still be cheaper then.

@frankieroberto Oh, I missed that. Phew, that’s good!

@tomstuart YES! At last! Or… move over to olde-fashioned shared hosting.

The thing I’ve always found with free/cheap Heroku sites… it’s the Postgres add-on that seems oddly expensive. elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-…

New Heroku pricing: blog.heroku.com/archives/2015/… Free tier only available up to 18 hrs/day. $7/month for 24 hrs/day, with no inactivity sleeping.

Voted (Green). Bumped into an old neighbour. Browsed the second hand books for sale. A+++ would vote again. #VoteGreen2015 #GE2015

@Pinboard Yesterday I came across this Dell support person's view of their marketing people's tech knowledge: en.community.dell.com/support-forums…

Tough on signalling problems, tough on the causes of signalling problems.

@alicebartlett Was it in your pocket?

Exit Poll drinking game - see that poll and drink solidly for the next five years. #GE2015

The middle classes, in their miserable hearts, still believed voting Conservative was in their interests (Patrick Keiller on '92 election)

@iotwatch that's an absurd idea, a better one is that we have a cuppa . I'm with @undermanager and he says yr great

@schulze they're politicians, we don't hire them because they know how to look after widows and orphans. Oh, hang on...
