  • : The most disturbing thing about @choochoobear/Randy Mulholland is that each time you think it's satire, it's not http://t.co/GUW7yuxQ #
  • : IEEE blows it on the Security & Privacy copyright agreement # HT @geoffarnold http://t.co/6jMa11XC #
  • Not to detract from the magnitude, but how do you post on someone's Twitter page?
    http://t.co/i9HiC2Kr # this is not FB, @BBCNews #
  • @lordmauve Go check; if expansion has cracked the bottles you can catch it before it thaws… #
  • This is the first time I've had a (semi) frozen pipe in years, and this time post-insulation. Cold must have crept up the outside tap pipes #
  • : Greenhouse: cold temp last night = 14C ; temp now = +18C http://t.co/MG9on7Bw #
  • Make that -14C to +18C ; ~30 degree range in one night in february is pretty impressive #
  • @chris_bloke better image than "heat leaked out" #
  • @shortblue regrettably East Molesley wins on points, HT @chrisgerhard #
  • @shortblue Epic 🙂 #
  • @markRbowyer "chicken behaviour area" ? #
  • @shortblue It's an offset counterweight design where the weight balances the OTA (ie: scope) on the other side of the polar access. #
  • @shortblue This is versus an english mount where the scope's OTA sits "inside" the mounting and can point straight up the polar axis. #
  • @shortblue Wikipedia page is bang on: http://t.co/Mou4OEP7
    full alignment is a bit of grief but precision only needed for astrophotography #

    German http://t.co/KEsWerCz
    English http://t.co/UWZjCQmu
    Fork http://t.co/HzS00Nh7 #
  • @shortblue You can either set your scope mount up as "Alt-Az" (up/down, round&round) or if you make a latitude adjustment to one bearing and #
  • @shortblue and subsq point that bearing north, then twiddling a single control will let it follow the stars semi-automatically. #
  • : TIL we get a 4-day weekend in June for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee http://t.co/KoO28Q05 #
  • Eating Fufu. And Cheese. While listening to Radio4 about extremist domestic terrorism, ie: the pursuit of womens' suffrage in the UK #
  • …acid in the postboxes, smashing windows, bombing the canal system to drain the entire thing… impressive #suffragettes #
  • #Suffragettes on the Liberal Government: http://t.co/6YvAfwuG

  • @shortblue @chrisgerhard It's on Wikipedia so it must be true. #
  • If we're going to have #boring2012 like we did #boring2011 can we please have no more than 2 stand-up comedians, but more actual talks? #
  • I'd like to have #boring2012 talks about: The Shipping Forecast, Floor Adhesives, My Favourite Walls, Ditchwater, & Imperial Paper Sizes #
  • #boring2012 also Kitchen Foil, Thatched Roofing, Lichen, Rubber stamp manufacture, Bicycle sprockets & National Grid surge planning. #
  • #boring2012 anything, anything in fact to stem the flood of more ranty post-Edinburgh skits and Ben-Elton-When-He-Was-Edgy wannabes. #
  • @hvcco Yep; one lived near when I was growing up, apparently EP would not let her be chained to the rails of Buck Ho as she was "too young" #
  • @hvcco Bombing canals would be huge impact; today it would be conspiracy to commit terrorism; the #suffragettes wd be in "Britmo" (Jersey?) #
  • @memespring link to list? #
  • @memespring LinkedIn says I am not connected to anyone but that I know people who know people… #
