Employing skills learnt studying @aiclass within the workplace today. Awesome!

At the best house party ever! 80s rock! Tweeting via a massive phone!!!

Up early for a joint away day at Chester Zoo. Have had that song going round in my head for days, "Momma’s taking us to the zoo tommorrow"..

#thatdoesit Santa Dash Dec 4th,don’t try to talk me out of it twitter! Who’s with me? @t1ingram @osfameron @mcknut @siobhanfarmer @MikeNolan

Colleague telling me his ‘hillarious’ stories about all the times he’s accused minorities of being terrorists. Not good.

On a super skanky night out down the dirty end of town. Currently in The Croc!!! Will you look on me with loathing in the morning, Twitter?

Oh this is confusing. My skany night involves McDonalds, but they’ve changed the branding of everything to look healthy. What do I pick?!?!

Just popping down to the @openeyegallery to see what’s going on

Distinct lack of firework safety around tonight. I’m going to be VERY CROSS with the many thousands of people in Sefton Park in a minute!

The long running saga of trouble at the Passport Office is a fascinating one. This latest episode is entirely par for the norm! @BBCr4today

Sorry, not convinced by GamesGuy. 2 logic errors so far: AirPlay (and others) flawed cos requires a box, and Flash is Flash, duh. #tedxl

John Bishop’s careful mediocre scouse tones and topshop suit can’t disguise his oversized head, bleached teeth or glaring absence of humour!

Is #swig on this evening? Was there ever a consensus on the agenda? @sanchothefat @davecoveney

RT @davecoveney: #SWIG is most definitely on tonight! http://t.co/olisjYMX @AlexNolan @sanchothefat Agenda likely to be a show and tell …

RT @artinliverpool: Halloween Lantern Carnival – Sefton Park, 30 Oct 2011 http://t.co/Zhijg90y #art #liverpool

Out jogging with Laura Marling on the ‘pod keeping me company. She is soothing my weary frame with songs of sorrow, joy and lazy days!

Test tweet from new jailbreak app ‘IntelliscreenX’.

RT @guardiantech: iPhone 4S battery life problems: bug in location services suspected http://t.co/BdJuvHlj >> this fix seems to work on 3GS

Not a big fan of Halloween, something sinister about it all, esp masks. But I dearly love the Lantern Parade, it’s Day-of-the-Dead-tastic!

On my way over to Liverpool’s very own Dia de los Muertos – Sefton Park’s Lantern Parade!!! (@ Lark Lane) http://t.co/fHIosMWc

This year’s Lantern Parade performance began with melodic whirling dervish Victorian nurses, and now features several beturbaned gents!

Four coloured monsters have emerged from tents, whilst the sigiled nurses dance (the macarena?) and the beturbaned men play saxophone!

The nurses danced the tents till they turned white, and now the monsters feast on giant winged hearts of the appropriate colour

The monsters have consumed their hearts, and now display them proudly! http://t.co/0hEWs8JR

Now the tents have arisen triumphant, and the beturbaned men are playing jazz whilst a firey winged heart flys away! http://t.co/yCkauX8s

Spotted a bald patch in the CCTV at one of our offices. Bad times. http://t.co/YV3GYPYI

Did R4 just describe in a positive light how to perform DDoS attacks?!?!

Might grow my sideburns to ridiculous size for Movember. What does twitter think?

Whatever has come over me? An getting up pre-8am to go for a run!

RT @AppAdvice: The Official Native Gmail App Goes Live In The App Store http://t.co/8lsgNBgD >> Not sure what the point of this is

Thought I’d better change my avatar out of respect. Gaddafi and I, in space, during better times.

I’d love to know how many people are killed each year by celebration gunshots falling back down to earth…

#swig @davecoveney @craigrigby perhaps consider more flexible formats, e.g. several breakout workshops?

Been checking out Newsstand apps for the iPad. Many are excellent: Guardian, Metro, Future Publishing of note. Avoid NY Times & Men’s Health

Have OMG’d our workplace today by adding photos to AD so they display in Outlook 2010 contacts. Also it appears that women want huge hair.

Could listen to The Pierces singing pretty much forever. Or at least sing me to sleep. That’d be cool. Amazing ladies.

Had forgotten how quintessentially Lark this place is 🙂 (@ Keith’s Wine Bar) http://t.co/izRZR6O3

Earned "Learner’s Permit" #Achievement in #Fara at http://t.co/axf0Irgy via @pixelandtexel

Just realised that this is the final opportunity to retweet my #spooks ‘art’. Bye Harry & Co, you will be missed! http://t.co/YjB2GoyV

Beginning to despair over these stanford ai class / ml class homeworks. Might drop down to the basic level on both at this rate!

Have had about as much of Cyberlink’s planned obsolescence as I can take. Henceforth I’ll always uninstall their products when I see them

Just realised I haven’t blinked for hours, such was my concentration on @aiclass homework. Yay, tis done for another week!

At the most exclusive event of my life, opening of Playground at the Hilton. Oh My God. (@ Hilton Hotel) http://t.co/cyFLyDdt

RT @lifethrualens: Caption writer goes rogue – click through before they get removed http://t.co/sSivZRWS

Watching Dr Sam Beckett roundhouse kicking guards whilst dressed in a nappy. Quantum Leap is one crazy show!

Off to see Noah & the Whale at the O2. Last time I saw them weren’t well known!

Arg! #twitterpubcrawl clashes with Laura Marling! I’m triple booked now!

Noah and the Whale: brill! O2 Academy Liverpool sound system: not so hot.

Is there any way of finding out more detailed information (than whois) on who has registered a domain similar to your own?

Holy shit! Just discovered that Jeremy Beadle is dead. #tornmyworldapart

Back on 82 bus. Tonight I’m closely watching someone eat Discos. I’m hungry. Secretly jealous of their deerstalker hat. #talesfromthe82

A detailed interrogation of the new Guardian app for the iPad’s ‘Newsstand’ feature makes for an excellent start to the weekend!!!

First run since starting physio complete! Foot feels good, wonder if the new trainers and balance exercises have made a real difference…

RT @jackschofield: How to Build A WordPress Theme From Scratch, Part One http://t.co/GGAo2HGo

Whaaaa? Can’t turn 3G off on an iPhone 4S apparently?

Wow, @appadvice is free for a limited time? Bargain! (if you don’t already have it) http://t.co/2UCOd7fW

Have been watching @dbclass and @ml_class videos at 1.5 x speed this evening. That’s some hardcore learning right there.

The Chief Exec has decreed: Alex shall work around the clock tonight. Do these sorts of edicts occur for non-IT people too? Thought not.

.@craigrigby They are never in the form of explicit demands. Instead, pressure via messengers with negative open ended consequences implied

Wow, never seen it start raining that fast / intensively before – 3 seconds from dry to unable to see, whilst stopped at traffic lights.

Buddypress Mobile is fantastic. iPad version of the site I’m working on now looks better than the site itself!!!

Emerging from an overnight coding session and a couple of hours sleep is worse than any hangover. Can move right eyeball and tweeting hand.

Aww crap :'(

Off to Aintree Racecourse for the Google workshop. Going to be a lot of sad techies there today I think.

Here for the Google Workshop! (@ Aintree Racecourse) http://t.co/dZBvO6GY

What specs should I be looking for these days in a development grade laptop? i7 + 8gb? My poor old dual pentium is on its last legs.

iOS 5 with untethered jailbreak applied to my 3GS!

Urgh, splitting headache building up this evening, not at all good timing

Bad script writing on The Archers is such a great catalyst for getting up on a Sunday morning!!!

RT @ruskin147: http://t.co/ioehGHEm Just seen @o2 offer NO data with latest iPhone deals – have to buy a bolt-on. Back to pre-2007 policy?

Would like nothing more than to be doing the #liverpoolmarathon today, curse that Nolan Foot! Wheelchair runners now arriving in Sefton Park

Sun’s out, band playing, light trickle of dudes passing Sefton Park’s restaurant at high speed to great applause 🙂 #liverpoolmarathon

Front runners are entering the park #liverpoolmarathon

Feeling a lot of self loathing this afternoon after handing Haribo to Craig from Big Brother 1. It was like touching a lepper!

My last tweet may have come across as overly critical of Craig. In fact, I have a lot of respect for his charity work and giant forehead.

I didn’t even do the #liverpoolmarathon today, how is it I have chaffing?!?!

Tweet if we gave you sweets in Sefton Park today! Hope we gave you a much needed boost! @osfameron @mcknut @siobhanfarmer #liverpoolmarathon

I’m so pleased with my iPhone iOS 5 upgrade that it’s the turn of my iPad this evening! Tethered jailbreak will have to suffice!

Can any WordPress gurus out there think of a quick way of appending target="_parent" to all links site-wide?

On this very wet evening I’m battening down the hatches for night of studying @aiclass – don’t want to get behind!!!

I was a sceptic, but Apple’s Newsstand App in iOS5 has done its job: I have bought the Steve Jobs WIRED tribute purely cos it was on a shelf

Testing new Activator functionality in iOS 5, nice tweet popup card thing is now set to popup when I tap-hold the status bar. Very slick!

This ‘quicktweet’ window does locations, multiple accounts, and makes an alarmingly cute tweety sound once the tweet is sent!!!

Back at the dentists. Hoping this is the last, have had enough numbness followed by rising sensations of having been punched in the jaw!

Busy working away at Unit 2 of @aiclass. Reminds me of A-Level Further Maths from about *coughcough* years ago

Finished writing my little #swig talk, glad I’m just the warm up act as I have little to say and no style or panache with which to say it!

Very very tired today. #swig talk in a few hours, then perhaps some sleep.

Any locals heard about much about next week’s ‘Accelerating your innovation’ event @Studio2atParrSt? http://t.co/T01gc9qP

Just heard that our incoming chief exec, John Denny, asked a question on #bbcqt last night!

Hmm, I keep hearing about one strange IT event after another today. This afternoon I bring you: theNET! http://t.co/CpbRvKW7

Not entirely sure I want to ‘Comply or Die’ like the brochure says!

Don’t like to join the masses slagging off BT Broadband today but our 1 BT line goes down far more than all our Eclipse lines combined!

Wow! Scumbag lynchings! Overly aggressive / self entitled parents! Clouds of drugs! Guess i must be on the #talesfromthe82 bus again then.

Watching Spooks with @clairelsutton. She can’t take Ruth seriously anymore now she knows the truth… http://t.co/YjB2GoyV

Trying to get enough 3G signal on the train to read some apple conference coverage.

People like to show their political colours when it comes to Boris Johnson, ignoring the epic lulz that emerge when Paxman interviews him

Woah note the avatar similarity between @serafinowicz and @Alex_Tookey!

All you runners who have iphones should download iMapMyRUN+ which is free for today only http://t.co/6qtL59os

Tinkering away at my talk for Thursday’s #swig. Remember it’s back-to-back Nolans this month! Like Wolverine & Sabretooth vs Ryan Reynolds.
