• New blog post: http://t.co/euA0hQvC 01:01:51, 2012-01-17
• New blog post: Midnight snack http://t.co/9YyKmj30 01:49:01, 2012-01-17
• Worchester sauce, paprika and garlic paste can make anything delicious. 01:52:48, 2012-01-17
• My tummy is happier now. 02:15:27, 2012-01-17
• @AlbinoKitsune By breeding more than dying? in reply to AlbinoKitsune 02:33:58, 2012-01-17
• I heard the Vader "Noooo" there. o_o (@YouTube http://t.co/CcyMNbTt) 13:51:46, 2012-01-17
• 2nd Graze box largely disappointing. Was looking forward to the Fig Rolls, but cinnamon is so rough and nasty. 14:03:44, 2012-01-17
• I had no idea transgender people were forcibly sterilised in Sweden! http://t.co/lUt55d9j RT? 14:12:21, 2012-01-17
• After all that fuss, there was nothing on the old SCSI disk after-all. Just a couple of blank partitions. 15:37:25, 2012-01-17
• My left shoulder is all fucked up today. Feels like it's come loose. :P 15:56:31, 2012-01-17
• Max average mass for human in the UK is 84Kg. Average running speed is 15mph (max is ~28mph) so pavement impact expectation is 1.888524kJ 16:13:55, 2012-01-17
• Therefore it is reasonable to limit vehicles in pedestrian areas to speeds where their impact would be less than 1.888524kJ. 16:16:39, 2012-01-17
• If myself plus my bike weigh 75Kg, then my *maximum* allowed pavement speed should be 15.78mph. 16:19:45, 2012-01-17
• A Segways maximum speed is 12.5mph, weighs about 40Kg (both depends on model), so max passenger weight would be 80Kg for that energy limit. 16:24:17, 2012-01-17
• Of course if you want to go faster, got to take it on the road. Average car (plus 4 occupants) is ~1511Kg, 30mph, impact energy of 136kJ. 16:34:18, 2012-01-17
• @artsyhonker Just working out absolute maximums based on potential collision energies. in reply to artsyhonker 16:41:37, 2012-01-17
• @artsyhonker No arguing that runners are more manoeuvrable than bicycles. Bikes are intended for broadly straight-line travel. in reply to artsyhonker 16:42:46, 2012-01-17
• So if I have an electric cargo-cart with a loaded weight of 500Kg, top reasonable pavement speed would be 6mph. 16:45:26, 2012-01-17
• Yes, I'm largely working this out as a possible alternative to the outdated & arbitrary 200watt motor limit on electric bikes and scooters. 16:46:18, 2012-01-17
• IE; Sod the motor size, it's all about how much you weigh and how fast you're going. 16:47:07, 2012-01-17
• Not only is the net dropping out continuously, @VirginMedia's help line menu keeps hanging up on me before I can speak to anyone. 18:04:02, 2012-01-17
• Help line is also giving "busy" tones. 18:05:11, 2012-01-17
• How the hell am I still getting peoples Twitter updates when the Virgin Media homepage won't load? 18:10:33, 2012-01-17
• @virginmedia Been trying to call your help line for the last half hour. Been disconnected from the menu system 4 times, rest engaged tones. 18:15:22, 2012-01-17
• Phone line has suddenly stopped sounding line 1940s radio. 18:16:02, 2012-01-17
• @Moshiicake @virginmedia Virgin's own status page is one of those that won't. We were better off on Pipex. in reply to Moshiicake 18:24:18, 2012-01-17
• Going to be looking at changing service providers again. Suspect they'll be some "minimum service not met" get-out clause to avoid fines. 18:25:56, 2012-01-17
• @ZeroShiBlue Would need to see to decide that. :3 in reply to ZeroShiBlue 18:26:55, 2012-01-17
• Can't connect to Google but can connect to Yahoo (barely). 18:29:21, 2012-01-17
• @jackalesque I'm trying to find alternate DNS servers to use. in reply to jackalesque 18:32:02, 2012-01-17
• FYI I switched to OpenDNS. Was still no connectivity on @VirginMedia. not just a DNS issue (though that has been a fault here for weeks) 19:40:29, 2012-01-17
• @howardtayler Well, who'd notice amid all the other sociopathic blobs? in reply to howardtayler 19:41:36, 2012-01-17
• #virginmedia's service status page is down. 19:43:09, 2012-01-17
• If you're having trouble with #Virginmedia's DNS, try testing with Open DNS. Will see if it's *just* a DNS fault. http://t.co/bm9aNteB 19:45:11, 2012-01-17
• Apparently #virginmedia issue is a routing problem too. But if just DNS for you, try OpenDNS on 208.67.222.222/208.67.220.220 19:48:37, 2012-01-17
