@sarahtgold Thanks Sarah! 😀

@warrenellis The other day I ordered a subwoofer that’s made in Southend… I’m worried that it’ll only make the sound of you growling.

@shoez Thanks for the thought, but not my cup of tea I’m afraid.

@gilest That sounds like a desperate appeal, stuck to lampposts, with my sad face gazing out. (Thanks!)

@iotwatch Thank you! You are jolly awesome too.

@minor9th Oh you! No, YOU’RE amazing!

How consistent are the Guardian’s ‘On The Road’ car reviews’ Eco Ratings? I graphed them to find out gyford.com/phil/writing/2…

@yoz Thank you Yozlet! 😘

@paulpod Thanks! Ambition: Only have work when it’s wet or cold.

@genmon Thanks! :awkward shoulder punch:

@russelldavies At the end of the day I’d like to hit the ground running. If we can get the ball rolling you’ll get more bang for your buck. It’s a win-win!

@hostler Thanks for “circling back”!

That page about my work could be better. I’ll “reach out” and give you a “heads up” when I’ve improved my “offering”.

.@guardian @RupertNeate When you say the Shard laser display was “dazzling” I think you mean “disappointing” or “underwhelming”.

Writing up this work was the last thing I did with the lovely IF: twitter.com/projectsbyif/s…

Last week we wrote about @StackOverflow ⌘+C’ed snippets & security, here’re some ideas for how to make it better projectsbyif.com/ideas/safety-c…

Why for are there pullquotes below the fold on pieces written for the web? If I'm scrolling I'm already reading the damn story.

@dracos sounds like my authentication logs
