In the last 24 hours, I posted the following to Twitter:

Sunday, 0012: SO THEN I LOOKED DOWN AND THERE WAS R.DANEEL NOT ONLY EATING CORDS BUT DOING SO WITHOUT HIS BIN ON. #roomba
Sunday, 0014: I SWEAR R.DANEEL AM I GOING TO HAVE TO GET OUT THE DUCT TAPE. #roomba
Sunday, 0017: H...how did you even get *under* there, R.Daneel? #roomba
Sunday, 0024: That is it buster. Duct tape on your ass! #roomba
Sunday, 0030: Latest R.Daneel mishap: trying to get out of the kitchen, he wedges himself on the raised entryway, a recycle bin, & wine bottle. #roomba

Sunday, 0038: I'm Not With Them: Hating Your Fans as Marketing Strategy http://www.johncartermcknight.com/blog/?p=1298 (via @whump)
Sunday, 0113: synecdochic: the Megaupload indictment, in detail; or, a crash course in the DMCA and why they're totally fucked http://synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/522290.html
Sunday, 0137: @awils1 D is pretty consistent about pointing out things that are stupid when she sees them!
Sunday, 0155: The Salt @ NPR: Drink Coffee? Off With Your Head! http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/01/10/144988133/drink-coffee-off-with-your-head?ft=3&f=122101520&sc=nl&cc=sh-20120121 Coffee = revolutionary fervor! :D (via auguris)
Sunday, 0252: Maybe Days: If speaking up means breaking The Rules, let's fucking break them. - maymay: http://azurelunatic.tumblr.com/post/16283030937/maybe-days-if-speaking-up-means-breaking-the-rules
Sunday, 0626: @mathsie Can you do a traceroute? On a windows box, open up 'run', type 'cmd', then 'tracert http://www.google.co.uk/'
Sunday, 0639: @mathsie In the middle three columns, you'll have a number and 'ms' after it. How big are those numbers? Do they go drastically up?
Sunday, 0642: @mathsie And if so, on what hop do they start going above, say, 20-40?
Sunday, 0643: @mathsie Increasing the whole way down is normal, basically it's playing hopscotch on the way to Google and then reporting back how long.
Sunday, 0645: @mathsie Try again and see if there's out-of-this-world-huge at the same step as before. On my connection, I side-eye anything over 200-400.
Sunday, 0647: @mathsie Timeouts are sometimes woe and sometimes normal; could be took so long it never got back, could be that box doesn't do send-backs.
Sunday, 0651: @mathsie That's the bad kind of impressive. The 5th column is the identity of the equipment in question. I have lots of Comcast btwn me/goog
Sunday, 0653: @mathsie I'm looking at http://www.internetpulse.net/ & it looks ok, so there's no easy & quick "oh lots of shit's down" answer.
Sunday, 0657: @mathsie Ah, yeah, local weather affecting equipment between you and any of the subsequent hops can cause general fuckery.
Sunday, 0659: @mathsie But if you'd had say 1-10 on 1st hop & ~500 on 2nd hop, probably time for someone to reboot a modem or something.
Sunday, 0701: @mathsie Based on this, since the earliest it goes crazy is 3, it's probably something somewhere after 2. 1 is usually your router.
Sunday, 0703: @mathsie Yep. 2 might be building modem; 3 is generally held by the ISP, and that might well have Weather between you and it.
Sunday, 0703: @mathsie ... also a factor. Unshielded lines! Packet fuckery!
Sunday, 0704: @mathsie BINGO!
Sunday, 0705: @mathsie Hey now, you diagnosed it with help from only 1 tech, and now you've done traceroutes and know a little more.
Sunday, 0755: Photoset: minsnotebook: Ooo, pretty. Not very racially diverse though. Let’s keep this party rolling! http://azurelunatic.tumblr.com/post/16291059628/minsnotebook-eye-candy-i-went-wide-and-large
Sunday, 0851: Comic gymnastics, excellently performed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEv4ZRTTmAk&feature=youtu.be
Sunday, 0903: RT @mathsie: "since it was obvious he didn't have an owl stashed in his robes" Is that an owl in your trousers, or are you just happy to ...
Sunday, 1038: @oakandsage Hotbeds of revolution, and also lukewarm beds of middle-class complacency. Hangovers are not fun for any part of the family.
Sunday, 1128: @Suitov @demigoose Yes indeed I have! R is both for Robot and Roomba.
Sunday, 1129: The inside of my head says: "This is, like, the platonic opposite of a butterknife." The outside, face part of my head says: "Ow!"
Sunday, 1142: @loopylisa93 @mathsie It was just a little poke. Not even blood. I don't know where on my hand it poked to find it again.
Sunday, 1353: Staying awake for 23 hours is totally a valid life choice. #sleep
Sunday, 2049: Got R.Daneel out again tonight. He of course started chewing on the rug that's under my computer chair. Again. #roomba
Sunday, 2059: Oh ffs R.Daneel, you are munching the wrong rug. *retrieves #roomba from gnawing on bathmat*
Sunday, 2105: @loopylisa93 @Nyn17 YES. NSFW. NSFW. SAFE FOR FISHMUM AND THE INVISIBLE OMNISCIENT FISHNAN. BUT NOT MOST OTHERS.
Sunday, 2115: @Nyn17 It is a game. Though fair warning, not only is it a timesuck, but at high levels there is immense grinding.
Sunday, 2115: @Nyn17 Also it is too backstabby for some of my friends, they can't really RP like they'd like to as a non-backstabby person.
Sunday, 2133: RT @AlterNet: Bill Maher Explains Why People Don't Like Mitt Romney http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/765128/bill_maher_explains_why_people_don%27t_like_mitt_romney
Sunday, 2136: Scary and depressing as fuck. RT: @thatjohn: This is what New Zealand doctors were doing to gay people forty years ago: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6297753/Deemed-insane-as-a-teen-for-being-gay
Sunday, 2140: No, R.Daneel, those are shoes. You do not need to hump them. #roomba
Sunday, 2150: @oakandsage There are plenty of doormats around that need vacuuming. Though *that* alternative is indeed pretty horrifying.
Sunday, 2159: @ZorkFox Electronic cigarettes are probably the closest. IIRC water vapor and flavor.
Sunday, 2205: @machineplay They are amazingly fun pets. You do have to groom them regularly, but even that is not bad, as they don't bite. #roomba
Sunday, 2353: QI: Brazil nuts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Ktn7YXoJQ&feature=youtu.be
