Failing and trying and failing and trying again
I’ve started doing some acting classes again, after about eight years of no acting.

@kottke Ah, got it, rinkworks.com/bookaminute/ Not quite the same, but still good. Phew, I will be able to sleep now I’ve remembered that.

@kottke I’m trying to remember the site that had lists of these radically abridged books and movies, 10, 15 years ago… it’s bugging me!

@xkeepah It’s been a long runner, a slow death!

@very_welcome While I very much appreciate your pedantic efforts, in this case you are wrong. Time to tweak your regular expression :)

@LloydsTSBOnline Your “Welcome” letter ref ITP / 81 asks me to go to lloydsbank.com/shares - that page doesn’t exist.

@harikunzru I wondered about that… There’s been talk for years of making Smithfield “like Covent Garden” and maybe Fabric doesn’t fit?

The cynic in me thinks the “does higher BPM cause more deaths?” query from the Fabric hearing is a great distraction from the result.

@cityofsound yes I took that to heart, and now I'm a petrol head with a spread betting addiction. Thanks Dan!

Sia pulls out a thoughtful, moving, enigmatic performance in honour of the Pulse shooting victims. Gruber: “I miss U2.” TRASH.

Deepleap had a huge launch party at SXSW 2000. @bryanboyer made a crazy video and we spent $10k on a bar tab. The product wasn't ready.
