  • Eynsham in the late evening sun, bells pealing, warm summer air. Cameras cannot capture such an idyll. #

  • RT @wesayso I think @shitmydadsays might well be the find of the week. (via @rhodri) #
  • @mapkyca in the end I handed them a wrapped Ikea sofa rather than a brush. It kept them busy unwrapping it and checking all the bits wer ... #

  • "It seems that every time we have a protest the police turn up and start hitting people" http://bit.ly/1cJwk #climatecamp (@canterburygeeks) #
  • RT @jonnelledge Under a Tory government I never saw a single naked woman. Under Labour I have seen several #brokenbritain (reciprocal RT!) #
  • Link: Top 10 UX Myths http://bit.ly/hGv8W #
  • @hatmandu I think 31 exclamation marks just an expression of slightly under-literate panic. How passive-aggressive it is depends on context. #

  • #Vodafone subscribed me to mailing lists without my consent, then the unsubscribe URL broke in text-only browsers / mail clients. #fail #dpa #
  • @damiancugley on Windows 7, files edit YOU #
  • Tomcat is such a huge, labyrinthine, enigmatic, confusing, counter-intuitive application. I mean it's more stable than the Rock of Gib, but. #
  • RT @markboulton ... the HTML that Views (Drupal module) produces is beyond bad. It may as well be tables it's that bad. Seriously dreadful. #
  • Views in #Drupal is a tremendous achievement, and initiatives like #d7ux mean we can take it to the next level in accessibility and ux. #
  • I'd love to be able to order the sessions I've bookmarked in a schedule similar to the main ones, so I know what I'm seeing when. #drupalcon #
  • @htfb ratatouille is the question; *this* is the answer: http://bit.ly/X6324 #
  • Yes! The problem wasn't with #Tomcat; nor was it with #Drupal, but somewhere in between. Handful of records not written to tracking table. #
  • RT @bengoldacre: Documentary on the awesome Hans Rosling: he so rules http://bit.ly/9Pt41 #

  • @benwerd there's something really stirring about driving rain on big windows, isn't there? The semi-white noise and the random dramatic fx. #
  • Ace post from Chris Calicott about how we can embrace change and move ahead with #drupal : http://bit.ly/kxK6h . The drop must keep moving! #
  • RT @ipwa ...design/dev divide in Drupal is being blown out of proportion, I never felt the tension that's being conveyed on blogs and tweets #
  • Armadillo Cam from the Museum of Animal Perspectives: http://bit.ly/pgRjL #
  • @Dries I think they could be a usability expert, not necessarily a designer. Look how creative tension helped The Smiths! Er, briefly. #
  • Gloss paint is a nightmare from which, with the help of a sandwich from @griffinkate, I am trying to awake. #
  • Wish I had a numerable pre-con checklist like @robertdouglass: ringing HSBC to ensure cards OK abroad felt like item 5+3i. #
  • Trick for HSBC: ring geo equiv for phone banking, choose 'inquire about commercial loan' then act all flustered when human answers. #
  • Free #wifi in Parisian parks, incl. Parc Monsouris just opposite #drupalcon venue http://bit.ly/u7sHw My French suggests no serious catches. #
  • RT @ukdrupal Hello UK Drupallers: @NikLP here. Took the liberty of making this account for #Drupalcon (etc) co-ordination. Follow or perish. #

  • Surely if they call themselves "The Weather Girls" then they should have *weather* for us, not news. #r2 #
  • Link: A musical challenge: The 9 Album: Writing and recording nine songs from 9am till 9pm on 09/09/09, wit.. http://bit.ly/4zwcX7 #
  • For those who don't know, then: @_mmat_ is also coming from @torchbox to #drupalcon. Bryan, follow @ukdrupal in case we get lost in Paris... #
  • Avoiding the desire to potter in Oxford bookshops for another hour. It's just avoidance of less fun packing and sorting. #
  • @markboulton @garrettc suggested a few of us turn up in suits, sunglasses and earpieces and just surround you. Well, I can see no drawbacks. #
  • @markboulton remember that offence easily taken in OS communs is generally as easily abandoned, and that what #d7ux is doing is *important*. #
  • @didlix ferry? why no Eurostar? #
  • #drupalcon calendar / schedule display now looking much better. Looks like I have an entire conference of schedule clashes ahead of me! #
