@GennHutchison That’s lovely. And I’m sorry you were in that place.

@rod @denisewilton Great advice. I’m definitely going to leverage this.

@harry_slater Thanks. I always assume anyone potentially interested already knows about it, but yes, it was a while ago!

I just queued up 17 more walls of varying craziness on crazywalls.tumblr.com thanks to @essl’s efforts. Thanks Mike!

@chrisphin Odd! It’s possible it’s some slow-to-propagate DNS changes from yesterday afternoon - maybe your corporate network has cached [waves hands vaguely] something for longer?

@chrisphin Thanks. Does gyford.com do the same for you? Its certificate is generated in the same way.

@jamesjefferies I think they were mentioned in passing, as were The Fall. It must be hard to keep things focused and coherent, given how sprawling the story could get.

@chrisphin @mildlydiverting Hmm, strange… it works for me, which is also strange! I will have a poke after lunch, although I’m not sure what I can do… thanks for letting me know.

@mildlydiverting @rod @gilest @denisewilton Oh you guys! [awkward shoulder punch]

A 12 hour Spotify playlist based on @richard_king’s ‘How Soon is Now?’, a fun book about UK independent record labels, 1975-2005: open.spotify.com/user/philgyfor…
Plus my notes, some quotes and a fuller track listing: gyford.com/phil/writing/2…

Many thanks for your retweets and very kind words yesterday. None of the emojis are blushing enough, so just imagine one. twitter.com/philgyford/sta…

I have a new little website about my work making websites: well-formed.co.uk
I am also currently available to work on interesting projects, so do say hello!
