- @fantomaster I’m not sure about that one. Often you want to credit the secondary source, or it adds value. Depends on circumstances] in reply to fantomaster #

- @nell_xo He had incredibly bad luck so often, twas like the Gods were against him! I don’t like Robertson, too arrogant -typical Aussie? in reply to nell_xo #
- @nell_xo Mind you, it’s really disconcerting when Shaun Murphy sits in his seat smiling in reply to nell_xo #
- @andrewburnett @wiieb Fair play both of yis. Moving is something I like to do as little as possible. in reply to andrewburnett #
- @mneylon Funny you say that, but I’m actually doing exactly the same. Thankfully the latter are not mine! in reply to mneylon #
- Err, I mean the former. Lol #

- Tip for twitter spammers: dont all use the same pic of a cute girl. Also 100:1 follower ratio and no updates are kind of a giveaway #
- @fantomaster We should start some sort of self-help group for these spammy marketers with no clue in reply to fantomaster #
- @Brian_Howes More than welcome. Crazy to think someone can be extradited without evidence, nevermind parents. Best of luck with it. #
- @fantomaster “Somebody set up us the feathers. For great justice!” just doesn’t really do it for me… in reply to fantomaster #
- @astewart You might be able to access it at http://x.x.x.x/wp-admin Alternatively your host might have an “instant alias” #wordpress in reply to astewart #
- @fantomaster Yep. Gets em all in one room. Then nuke the entire site from high orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. in reply to fantomaster #
- Looks like that NoScript issue http://is.gd/vYJt has angered the Reddit gods, getting tonnes of 1/5 ratings on Moz.org #
- @JoelDrapper @boagworld Twitter Tools from Alex King is probably the one you’re looking for http://is.gd/atI #
- Anyone recommend me new scifi to read? I’m all out of Charlie Stross (hence messed up body clock) #sciencefiction #sf #
- @JoelDrapper Hmm I think I may have sent you wrong there. TT is on the sidebar http://is.gd/jn9h has some but I don’t see the 1 you refer to in reply to JoelDrapper #
- @duggan I’ve read *everything* by Peter F. Hamilton. Waiting for latest to come out. He’s in my top 5 for sure. in reply to duggan #
- @fantomaster One problem is a lot of legimate stuff like high quality info products gets associated with MMO spammers. Real pity. in reply to fantomaster #
- @duggan Check. Check. Also Reynolds (who can be a tad hard sometimes). in reply to duggan #
- @JoelDrapper Got it! It’s this one http://is.gd/vZwc and maybe @boagworld can tell us exactly how he configured setup in reply to JoelDrapper #
- @Thaedydal @duggan I may have to turn to fantasy. Robin Hobb was good but latest series went a bit pearshaped. Loved previous stuff in reply to Thaedydal #
- @JoelDrapper It seems to be this: http://is.gd/vZwc plus this: http://is.gd/vZxs to get Twitter references showing in WP comments #
- @Thaedydal I can be generous – the first Assassins series was awesome so giving her a bit of leeway. Hopefully next series is better. in reply to Thaedydal #
- Fantastic interruption of press conference, pretty cool exit too http://is.gd/vZA0 #
- @duggan Ah, I see he co-wrote the latest Dune ones. They were -ok- (better than Franks later ones). I’ll check his stuff out in reply to duggan #
- @JoannaSchaff Read pretty much all of Asimov/Clarke/Heinlein/Bear/Bradbury/Aldiss/Card/Adams/Baxter/Benford/Bova. Oh, and Harrison in reply to JoannaSchaff #
- @JoannaSchaff When everyone else was studying for Leaving Cert, I was quietly failing because of mountains of sf/f in reply to JoannaSchaff #
- @JoannaSchaff Stop. I’m up to date, sigh. And I even read all of Goodkind SOT series :/ in reply to JoannaSchaff #
- @JoannaSchaff Ah true enough. First 5 WOT are alright, good page turners when all else fails in reply to JoannaSchaff #
- @JoannaSchaff I loved Magician and some of Feist’s spin off series but they got too many for me, quality dropped around Princes, Merchan … in reply to JoannaSchaff #
- @JoannaSchaff I refuse to read Brooks and don’t like Eddings. Goodkind is almost there with them though in reply to JoannaSchaff #
- We all have superb taste in sf&f *Mutual back clapping* #
- @JoannaSchaff I don’t grok that? (when I said “pretty much all of XYZ”, I wasn’t joking ) in reply to JoannaSchaff #
- In hindsight, the secondhand bookshop that opened within walking distance of my school really didn’t help my exam results. #
- Mind you, they also decided to hold the Rugby World Cup right when I was doing exams too. Fatal combination really. #
- Ok, time to head to Croker, hope to see Leinster do it, but feel it’s unlikely #
- Croker jammed. Lot of Munsterfans around. I’m concerned about catching flu from the swine #
- Croker wont show replay, fair yellow? I though he was committed #
- Disaster
# - Happy enough with 5pt lead at 1/2time. I’d prefer if 50% of our team wasn’t broken #
- Voice gone. Incredible performance by Leinster #
- Just home. Voice completely gone from shouting at the game. What an incredible performance by Leinster. Pics uploading. #
- RT @TheMenace 15:05: Right, off for a pint before heading to Croker. ALLEZ LES BLUES << and that was the last we heard of Ken. #
- RT @fantomaster: RT @daveredfly: Every day I wish more and more that Google had a viable competitor. << Ditto #
- @holyschmoke Just trying to sort them, they got out of order somehow in reply to holyschmoke #
- Pictures from Munster v Leinster #HEC #ERC #rugby semi-final http://is.gd/wd9H #
- @MiriamAhern Looks like we’ll be wearing the blue jersey after all. I’m still in shock #
- I also have some nice video of “the best fans in the world” leaving early, that’ll go on YouTube at some point #
- Munster fans, I won’t apologies for that, you know you’re overbearing about that so take it on the chin #
- Looking at the pics, I see the way they cross-checkered the Leinster & Munster fans. It’s pretty cool but I’d prefer they didn’t do that #
- @holyschmoke I was full sure Munster would win, just unsure by how much. I keep repeating “incredible” but only way to describe Leinster. in reply to holyschmoke #
- @willcarling said “Munster by 21″ << I thought he might be right, especially when our backline was destroyed by injury. #
- @holyschmoke Putting my Ireland jersey on, I’m very concerned that some of our Lions have done serious damage to their rep today. Not good. in reply to holyschmoke #
- @holyschmoke I think he realises he’s in trouble. A 26 week ban is norm for deliberate eye-gouging. I didn’t see incident enough to judge. in reply to holyschmoke #
- I watched videos of the Quinlan incident. I think it will get him the minimum eyegouging 12 wk ban. Deserved. Unfortunate timing for Lions. #
- @cgallagher @holyschmoke It was stupid. I want him on the Lions, but that incident must deserve a ban. Positive: maybe Jennings gets called! in reply to cgallagher #
- @cgallagher @holyschmoke I don’t wish it on him, but he MUST get cited for it. Nasty incident. Potential 12-26 wk ban means out of Lions. in reply to cgallagher #
- @DesireeScales My notes on Outliers: http://is.gd/web1 #fb in reply to DesireeScales #
- @LTeeling Best got 18wks for this even though accidental http://is.gd/wmds Here’s Quinlan one: http://is.gd/wmdW #rugby in reply to LTeeling #
- @TheRealAmz That bad, eh? I don’t go on it much anymore. in reply to TheRealAmz #
- Good start to snooker final for John Higgins. He’s in serious form this year, will be tough for Murphy to beat him. #
- Ok, settling down to watch Cardiff-Leicester. Would prefer to meet Cardiff in the final. #
