23:58 Phone keeps chirping to say it's running out of battery, but can I find it....? No. #
08:29 Seminar paper to give this morning, and handouts to print.... #
09:01 Watching the steam rise off my printouts, I realise the house has a bigger damp problem than I thought.... #
09:07 Annoyed with external hard-drive. Keeps refusing to let me copy stuff. Also, R3 announcers should be able to pronounce "Baden-Würrtemberg". #
14:53 I really hate filling in online surveys... This afternoon, I must go and buy some sort of convection heater - Boswells or Argos? Questions! #
15:02 And then the bloody website crashed when I tried to send in the questionnaire! The Commem. ball committee are meeting in here; v noisy. #
16:44 I approve of the way the Making Light thread on spiritual warfare has turned into a game of Mornington Crescent. Also, I have a heater. #
17:28 Ack, have lost the file for a presentation I made in summer, and which I need... Should give things better names. #
17:49 @ParrotKnight Same prefix; OED says " With the forms compare the note at PROTO- comb. form; the present word is unusual ..." #
17:50 @ParrotKnight ...in that the forms in -th- have come to predominate, probably as a result of their use in the titles of particular officers. #
17:51 Lots of fireworks outside (over the Meadow?) Wonder why... #
17:56 If Ignatius Loyola made holes in his soles so that he was finally only wearing the uppers, how did they stay on? Subtle Jesuit superpowers? #
18:19 Dear American Undergraduate: SHUT UP, stop loudly describing how to get to Brookes over the phone in a library. May your battery go flat. #
19:04 @pellegrina Ah, of course. I'm afraid I tend to be much more conscious of the Muslim population, but there are Hindus too. #
