• @artsyhonker Rather, yes. It's comic-book politics. And semi-unrelated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04ZsHk3Xla4 17:30:29, 2011-05-05
• Just been and voted #YestoAV. Organiser there described turnout as "pathetic". Blamed it on vote not being tied in with local elections. 17:31:24, 2011-05-05
• With very low turn-out in London, vote will likely be determined by rural voting. Suspect we know how that will go if that's the case. :( 17:33:10, 2011-05-05
• @Lizardbeth Getting a malware alert in Chrome with that link! in reply to Lizardbeth 17:52:11, 2011-05-05
• @Lizardbeth Teej's Seal of Disapproval. "lockerz.com contains content from s5.harrenmediagroup.com, a site known to distribute malware." in reply to Lizardbeth 18:02:59, 2011-05-05
• @Lizardbeth Page initially loads, so it's probably something in one of the embedded adverts. in reply to Lizardbeth 18:03:26, 2011-05-05
• One argument I've heard for No to AV basically boils down to faith; Do you believe improvement now will stall drive for future improvement? 18:09:21, 2011-05-05
• I have more faith in people than that though. 18:09:37, 2011-05-05
• @garrwolfdog Doesn't appear so. I'm "SciStarborne" on there too. I may be out for the meet for a bit on saturday tho. Just a maybe. in reply to garrwolfdog 18:36:27, 2011-05-05
• Inking this picture makes me want to kiss and bite someone's neck. #wistful 18:54:36, 2011-05-05
• @pandalion Good on you! ^_^ in reply to pandalion 19:09:27, 2011-05-05
• So the actual estimate of the AV cost is £90million, which *includes* £82million for todays vote on whether to have it or not? So £8million? 19:34:47, 2011-05-05
• @YesInMay Assume they're rumours! It's not over until it's over. Do not relax, and continue encouraging voters! #YesToAV #Momentum in reply to YesInMay 19:45:58, 2011-05-05
• Just been told by a friend they didn't know any elections were happening today & won't be voting. Disappointed on so many levels. 19:59:26, 2011-05-05
• No centralised way of finding out where your local polling station is. Like by postcode. It's all hidden away on separate council websites. 20:05:32, 2011-05-05
• My brother just texted me to say he's gone out and forgotten to vote. He won't be coming back to do it either. So another Yes vote lost. 20:17:10, 2011-05-05
• I swear, if the government made not voting a £10 fine, the country'd be out of debt by the end of the today. 20:22:45, 2011-05-05
• Jesus.. just been asked to pretend to be someone else so I can vote on their behalf. My scalp itches with rage. 20:25:06, 2011-05-05
• If you can't be bothered to go vote yourself, you don't deserve that vote. 20:26:28, 2011-05-05
• I need a beer. 20:28:22, 2011-05-05
• I'm also painfully reminded of the number of people who were worried about civil war in the UK. Wonder if they bothered to vote? 20:30:39, 2011-05-05
• Dual-Xeon and 64bit Intel machines pass MemTest. Just gotta repair a couple of LCD monitors next. 21:40:59, 2011-05-05
• System is running at 90% RAM used! This is going to be a wonderful image when it's done. If it doesn't choke first. 22:51:34, 2011-05-05
• @quixoticgeek Actually I'd make it a semi-bank-holiday. You get the day off but only if you provide your boss a polling station receipt. in reply to quixoticgeek 23:40:32, 2011-05-05
• @quixoticgeek A receipt without your voting choice on, of course. And 1.5x pay like a Sunday if you choose to work the non-voting hours. in reply to quixoticgeek 23:41:41, 2011-05-05
• @firefiber Flash is the only shared componant. I uninstalled all Flash & Shockwave. Reinstalled it works fine again. Must be corruption. in reply to firefiber 23:43:05, 2011-05-05
• @firefiber Wondering if it's related to FireFox 4? I installed it, found it rubbish and rolled back to 3.6.17. Maybe it damaged the plugin? in reply to firefiber 23:44:05, 2011-05-05
• @JezzKitty If there's a goat's head in the middle of it, I think I can guess. #CastOutEvilBrideOfSatan in reply to JezzKitty 23:46:30, 2011-05-05
• Flash (apparently) fixed! Just in time for a new #YogsCast on YouTube. 23:47:54, 2011-05-05
• Hahah, the "BT Infinity" advert running before the video has some Teletext artefacts running at the top of it! 23:48:52, 2011-05-05
