  • This afternoon’s angst has finally subsided to a reasonable level. Just in time for bed actually. #
  • wow, close to 14" of snow since yesterday morning. shoveling, paper writing, errands before I leave for ATL tomorrow. #
  • @dacort Yes, yes they do think the software they create is that good, sadly enough. 😛 #
  • @dacort hah…I am a compulsive Ctrl+S person, practically after each sentence in fact. #
  • @Matthom I tend to ignore those people until at least 10am. Otherwise we might have a problem with workplace violence 😛 #
  • I’ve spent the morning planning this paper in my head (or so I tell myself), now it’s time to write write write. #
  • @Matthom 5-10ish …I don’t know why people think I am interesting though to be honest. #
  • @Matthom I’d love to see that also. I imagine it’s: "a friends @ ‘s me and they are intrigued so they follow the link to me" *shrugs* dunno. #
  • Wow, my paper has a "Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 12.9" …that’s kinda sad. #
  • paper done, lunch done, got shovel way too much snow, and pack for ATL tomorrow. #
  • @Fitz Secondbrain’s lack of Twitter support is killer. They need to add support for that. #

  • oh wonderful, I can’t sign into Expedia Windows Live ID is down…grr. #
  • http://www.eol.org/ Encyclopedia of Life is now live …and has promptly been knocked offline because of popularity. give it time… #

  • http://snurl.com/20ej4 "Researchers Find Way to Steal Encrypted Data" …wow, that an incredible find. Eh, still not that paranoid. #
  • so apparently your gmail address = @googlemail.com For example: [email protected] = [email protected] …well that’s interesting. #
  • very draining, but very productive talk this evening. definitely bed time soon. hopefully i don’t wake up to a foot of snow. #
  • well that is a great start… 4-6" inches of snow over night? …or maybe 1" …oh weather people, how cluessless you really are. #
  • Dodd to endorse Obama sometime today …interesting, but I don’t know how much it actually helps. #
  • working from home this afternoon…hoping I didn’t end up too snowed in. #
  • icy driveway – 1, Justin – 0 …totally face planted while shoveling. #
  • http://snurl.com/20g6z "Too Pretty to Fly" …lol…what a joke. #
  • XP running inside a virtual pc inside of Vista is still faster than Vista on a real pc …that is sad. #
  • @leahjones http://www.iminta.com/ is yet another one of these aggregator sites …would you like an invite to try it? #
  • @leahjones DM me your email address? #
  • @1god haven’t tried secondbrain …but between iminta and friendfeed I think I’d picked FriendFeed. I like how it groups items for each site #
  • @1god on Iminta things get messy b/c it grabs each indiv. song as a new post…I’d much rather have it group all the Last.fm stuff together #
  • I love singing Frank to my dog. He totally just gives me this "merh?" look. #
  • http://snurl.com/20glk Incredible (and simple) image. "Lights". Minimal is so under rated. #
  • http://snurl.com/20gqr "Recover Files with Shadow Copies on Any Version of Windows Vista" ..handy utility to access Shadow Copy easier. #
  • http://ww23.rr.com/prefs.php <– Have TimeWarner RoadRunner? Tweak your domain landing settings. #
  • Just to restate this (because it’s THAT good), http://www.teamviewer.com …incredible remote support app for Windows (free) #
  • @twhirl might I suggest possibly using a more traditional minimize button? The current button is confusing (because it’s nontraditional) #
  • http://snurl.com/20h5w "Top 10 Signs You Might Need a ‘Twittervention’ "…funny because many of them are actually true. #

  • home…exhausted, craving sustenance. I really want to move to NYC. #
  • The best description of my emotional state right now is that my soul feels happy/energized but my heart is really quite sad right now. #
  • @leahjones Do you have the divx and xvid codecs installed? (I don’t recall which one it needs). Sorry for the confusion. #
  • @leahjones No problem at all. #
  • So glad to see Marion Cotillard win Best Actress for "La Vie en Rose" …incredible movie if you haven’t see it already. #
  • yes, I am well aware that I am awake at 7:30am on Monday of my Spring break…I am a freak. #
  • hah….Google Reader…880 new items. Um no. "Mark all as read". #

  • @leahjones my curiosity got the best of me …I had to look. 😛 #

  • http://xkcd.com/388/ "F*ck Grapefruit" ….nerds with too much time, but hilarious anyways. #
  • lunch and likely a whole lot more procrastinating before I write these papers #
  • http://pulseofopensource.com/ I am not entirely sure I understand what is going on with Pulse of Open Source… #
  • Oh, so basically it’s a "who’s who of Twitter"? …that’s, uh, not nearly that interesting/exciting then. #
  • @wmacphail Wow! That is a spectacular description of Twitter. Well done! #
  • http://snurl.com/20dyh relatively cheap super high capacity RAM is on the way …256GB of RAM for under $50k …not bad at all. #
  • away message surfing was such a great college past time. #
  • @leahjones I purchased that Sharepoint 2007 book when I was learning. It’s a great place to get your feet wet. #
  • @leahjones Yes, sorry. The one by Seth Bates is a great beginners book. #
  • Oh Weezer…how I love thee. You were so emo before it was even emo. You are THE quintessential emo. #
  • Well ok then, 10-14 inches of snow tomorrow into Wednesday morning…that’s exciting. #

  • "Michael Clayton" … *shrugs* …eh, wasn’t horrible but certainly wasn’t incredible neither. #
  • @leahjones wanna know what happens? 😛 #
  • I’d love to know why I can only buy tickets to the Red Sox vs Blue Jays game in multiples of 2 …I want 3 – not 2, not 4 …hmm. #
  • very little I HAVE to do today….so I guess that’s a good thing #
  • Looking for work to do. It maintains my sanity…so it’s not entirely benevolent. #
  • Note to self: converting Word docs into wiki pages is not very exciting. #
  • Really not looking forward to my trip to the mall after work. In and out, quick and stealth-like… #
  • listening to Jack Johnson, writing documentation, so ready for Spring break! 🙂 #
  • @jgarber ironically enough "Violent by Design" is one of the best underground hip hop albums ever. #
  • dude not cool. my snack just got stuck in the vending machine…*pouts* #
  • @sourjayne amazing song. I was listening to that about 10 minutes ago. #
  • @leahjones Would you like to know how Michael Clayton ends? (or do you prefer to watch it?) #
  • @leahjones I’ll try to figure out a way to chop off the final 5 minutes for you. #
  • 71 minutes to go…not that I’m counting. #
  • @strawpoll 1 #

  • trying to organize dinner plans for Friday night …no way it should be this difficult #
  • http://snurl.com/1zz97 Hillary chanting "Yes We Will" …that seems oddly familiar…hmmm….a little desperate? #
  • I love my Zen Vision: M, but why must it be so damned difficult to sync with iTunes. None of the hacked work arounds actually work. annoying #
  • @dacort good luck with that…I have 22,000 and iTunes is soooo slow. you going to split your library? #
  • @dacort You may want to split the library then. I am just about at the point where I should, and my computer is plenty fast so it’s not that #
  • @dacort Yes, I imagine it’ll be irritating…kinda a hassle to switch libraries depending on your music preference right? #
  • @dacort Sadly, it won’t get much better – at least it hasn’t for me. I’ve started to just remove rarely listened to tunes from my library. #
  • Thank god it’s almost Spring break because I am definitely super unmotivated. #
  • @dacort http://snurl.com/1zzjj AND/OR http://snurl.com/1zzjl …talking about how/why to split your rather large iTunes library #
  • McCain wins Wisconsin (according to CNN) …where is BreakingNews with the Tweets when ya need it? #
  • @manton CNN is showing Obama with 61% to Hillary’s 38% right now…but it’s early #
  • @dacort You have a Mac right? (I am assuming), so perhaps it’ll behave better because iTunes on Windows SUCKS. Best of luck. #
  • @sourjayne at least it wasn’t Taco Bell. That would have actually been worse. #
  • CNN is projecting Obama to win Wisconsin #
  • http://snurl.com/1zzmm wow, the Wisconsin exit polls have some interesting stuff:Obama won whites 18-29, 30-44, and 45-59. Hillary won 60+ #
  • last long day of classes before Spring break…lets go motivation, I really need your help today. #
  • waiting for class, sleepy, need coffee, and my brain is certainly not awake yet. #
  • Something tells me I won’t be able to admin a Windows Small Business Server (2008) w/o any prior experience. maybe I can… #
  • @dacort absolutely. I definitely wouldn’t subject myself to many of these stressors unless I was receiving compensation. #
  • score! prof just canceled class on Friday (that I was going to skip otherwise) #
  • wow, you know what irritates me? people not answering the prof’s questions when it’s a VERY obvious/easy question. #
  • http://xkcd.com/386/ "Someone is wrong in the internet" …today’s comic is hilarious (because it’s true) #
  • @dacort iTunes speed up at all for you? #
  • trying to find/buy tickets to a Red Sox vs Blue Jays game…*fingers crossed* #
  • A prof just picked up a guitar and started singing a song….random much? #
  • http://snurl.com/201nt ever seen an albino moose? ….very cool pictures. #
