wow, definitely could have/would have slept for another few hours easily. feeling exhausted this morning…coffee here I come! #
only 2 more nights of sleeping alone…thank god… #
general feeling this morning is basically summed up as: 🙂 … 3 more days, 2 more nights. that is all. #
@strawpoll Home runnning Vista (2), work running XP (1) …(home also Ubuntu and OSX as well) #
allergies are destroying me this morning, but I’m trying not to care all that much… #
blocking a few spammer requests on Twitter. not doing too bad on spammers…only maybe 1-2 spammers per week #
@Matthom I have the same problem, but I’m just tall…I’ve come to expect it at this point 😉 #
@Matthom I love walking out of the house first in the morning to a face full of spide webs…the dog just happily runs under them. #
@Matthom I *constantly* wonder about that. *shiver* …I take that back, I don’t want to think about that. #
decided to get a little sneaky (and paranoid), and installed a key scrambler at work. I don’t like the idea of *possibily* being spied on. #
@Matthom you’re not sorry. 😉 It’s good to know someone else worries about the same thing though. #
@replies are now only display @replies for the current day? …that’s, uh, different (and isn’t very helpful). #
I think Twitter increased the API limit? Twhirl is reporting 70 requests per hour at the moment…can that be correct? #
@steelopus heck of a storm yesterday evening huh? Did you get any of the hail they predicted? #
I’m on a roll so far today…already 14 updates (this will be 15) to Twitter this morning. #
Apple Laptop Upgrades Costing 200% More Than Dells (can’t say I’m shocked.) http://tinyurl.com/3zdplc #
and just like that half of the day is gone…amazing. (I’m not complaining, just a bit shocked) #
wtf? I just updated MS Mac Office 2008 and now I can’t open any of the applications. It just keeps loading the AutoUpdate checker instead #
Twitter versus Plurk: Not Even in the Same League (interesting comparison.) http://tinyurl.com/5sleyn #
@steelopus I have very little that is positive to say about Apple. Would you like me to lie? I do like my iPod Touch. I’ll give them that. #
@steelopus I don’t have all that much positive to say about Microsoft either. Nor Google for that matter. I like Microsoft Research labs tho #
CSS Variables are â€¦. here! (how many times have you wanted to use variables? such good news!) http://tinyurl.com/62rydb #
@srcasm coffee 85% of the time. Tea the other 15% #
I’m just a snotty coughing mess today. Allergy meds really don’t seem to be doing the trick (duh, obviously). #
http://www.safenow.org/ hilarious! especially the Michael Jackson one. #
@steelopus lol…I am quite positive about a lot of things. #
@srcasm I honestly just really like the complex taste of a very good cup of coffee. I don’t care about the caffeine. #
10 web design books you probably missed but owe yourself to read http://tinyurl.com/6cm9jo #
http://is.gd/J98 Windows Steady State created a temporary cache of your operating system that you can just flush to reset back to beginning #
I’m not such a fan of Spanish wines when it comes to just sipping. They tend to be a bit too aggressive/spicy for my liking. #
@flocker excellent! Do you offer nightly builds? (like Firefox 3.1pre where I just download the new version each day?) #

Twitter Posts for 2008-06-29

it’s not much of a conversation when the replies are 4-5 minutes apart. forget it. #
@JoeCascio they use the memory card in their phone to transfer it to their computer…then posts it to the web. #
I’m going to be done talking this evening. I’m just failing. #
didn’t sleep very well, but I’m up awake. craving coffee and left over pizza. #
@chrisbrogan coffee, a little SportsCenter, and a good book. #
going to see Wall-E…quite excited! #
doing very little, hoping the massive thunderstorm on the radar actually hits us #
Mets are up 2-0 bottom of the 6th…niiiice. #
Yeah, so that plan definitely failed. #
Headed home in the rain… Hail tonight supposedly. #
watching the olympic trials…really really bored. #

Watching Jed Lowrie…of the Red Sox… In a minor league game #
home from the baseball game… we left it was 3-2 top of the 9th…yeah I know, but we wanted to beat traffic. #
http://twitpic.com/2vmb crappy cell phone picture from the baseball game tonight…always good to go to a ball game 🙂 #
Holy sh*t. Blizzard FINALLY announced Diablo 3 http://is.gd/GUX #
wow…and the gameplay of Diablo 3 loooks awesome! #
cleaning and running errands today #
http://is.gd/HS0 “How Obama Can Lose” #
http://is.gd/HT2 all kinds of Diablo 3 screenshots #
got my hair cut, cleaning the house, and perhaps catching a little of the subway series #
all done cleaning, going for a drive and getting some coffee…reading for the rest of the afternoon. #
around, reading, watching some baseball, etc #
kind of stupid that Twitter still hasn’t fixed the replies …it’s only been what? 4 days now? #
@steelopus @’s aren’t working on a desktop app either …not in Twhirl at least. #

Twitter Posts for 2008-06-27

I never understood the appeal of Coldplay…every song sounds the exact same, on every album. #
it’s really quite simple to “download” the full movies from the NetFlix “watch now” feature… #
@rampok DM me your email address. I have invites for Brightkite. #
working from home this Friday. Hopefully it won’t be that busy of a day #
http://is.gd/HfU Darwin 2.0 … “Is Darwin due for an upgrade?” #
http://www.wirewize.com/ Help with setting up your fancy electronics #
testing out Feedalizr …interesting, but not good enough to make me switch from Twhirl. #
supposedly Twitter is back…I don’t know if I believe that… #
bored. wishing it was 4:30 already #
@snowcialmedia I was having issues before, but it was a Twitter problem — not specifically a Twhirl problem. #
http://tinyurl.com/3sofmw Wall-E is getting very good reviews so far. I really want to see this movie. #
@strawpoll (2) no. no big plans. cleaning, cleaning, and sleeping. #
@al3x Snoop would say “Step ‘yo game up my shizzle” 😛 #
Defiinitely goimg to be a humid night…geez. #

Well that was another $150 in change 🙂 …for a grand total of $380 in the past 2 days. not bad, not bad at all. #
@steelopus rich because they’re cheap. (that’s going to be my brother…the doctor, who is crazy cheap still) #
watchign the Red Sox game, waiting for my phone date. #
wow, Del Carmen was throwing 98, 99, 99, 99, 98 … 1, 2, 3 inning. He looked excellent tonight. #
http://is.gd/G7Z a “reliable source” has “confirmed” that Diablo 3 will be announced this Saturday at WWI Paris 2008 …very exciting news #
not bad, Adobe Acrobat v9.0 Pro Extended is downloading at 1.85Mbps #
has the impression his date isn’t going to be happening this evening… #
Adobe Acrobat v9.0 is crazy fast. Load time is less than 1 second on my relatively slow laptop. I’m very impressed. #
I have 5 unused invites for Brightkite to give away. @ me or DM me your email #
http://is.gd/GpD Dell’s Studio 15 laptop beats the MacBook Pro in performance …it’s the fastest mainstream laptop available #
@steelopus I happen to think it looks quite nice, and it’s not a bad thing that it doesn’t run OSX (but that’s just a preference) 😉 #
NPR this morning mentioned the possibility of closing down the Rochester airport (too expensive), that would be REALLY bad for upstate NY #
Retweeting @steelopus: Weezer Lyric Interpretation #2: http://tinyurl.com/47e2bm …I don’t know why I like these graphs so much… #
antsy this morning … would much rather be out some place enjoying the day instead of being stuck in the office. #
wow, how is it already 10am…geez, where did the last 2 hours go (I’m not complaining, I’m just shocked) #
Zenbe just added support for Twitter and gTalk in the sidebar…pretty handy/cool. Now I just hope for RTM support as well. #
@Matik72 http://pingie.com/beta/index.php …this apparently might do the trick. #
http://is.gd/GvA BREAKING: Supreme Court has overturned the gun ban in Washington D.C. #
@zenbe is that using the Twitter API? If so, how many calls is it using per hour? #
trying to track down a very strange issue for what looks like the rest of today most likely. #
Twitter seems to be swallowing some of my posts again today…must be having a rough afternoon. #
anyone else using the Firefox v3.1pre nightlies? #
I intentionally eat lunch late in the afternoon so that by the time I come back from it I’m fairly close to heading home. It’s my evil plan. #
@Matthom Luckily I rarely end up genuinely hungry for lunch. I usually just go to eat something (and to take the break). #
I can’t help but laugh when I see bald guys whiping down their heads…it’s just funny and gross at the same time. #
@bangbang023 not claiming I invented the plan smart ass 😛 Just stating that I’m a fan of the plan. #
anyone know a way to digg stories from inside Google Reader? It would just save me a click. I imagine someone has done this already #

to clarify, in case of any confusion, I had $213 in change…and still have another huge container of loose change. It’s like free money! 🙂 #
@kriswert very true. I had a massive amount of quarters, I should have known better. #
any AOL employee listening on Twitter? Tried your new AIM mobile (WinMo) beta. It royallly screwed up 1 of my AIM accounts. Assistance plz? #
@kriswert I should have taken a picture of this one for ya 😉 …I have another jar I’ll hopefully cash in this weekend, may just take a pic #
@kriswert wow. that must have taken days… I can’t stand the rolling/packaging of the it…I cheated and used the machine #
http://is.gd/Faw Windows XP will be “supported” in some form until 2014. great news! #
@kriswert if it wouldn’t be stupid I’ll literally take a picture of the next jar of coins this weekend if you’re interested in guessing. #
anyone else notice Flock 2.0 Beta 1’s RSS feeds lacking and generally not working very well? Maybe it’s just me. #
off to bed though I feel a bit restless. too much on my mind right now I suppose. #
and just for the record, ending an evening with a phone date is *the* way to do it. #
going to be moving into my “new” desk this morning, hoping it’s not quite as tiny as expected. we shall see. #
This has got to be some kind of joke, the desk they switched me too is WAY too cramped for 2 people. #
not a great start to the day so far, but it may be improving I think. #
thinking about lunch …weighing my options, actually feeling surprisingly hungry #
busy busy day. not really bad busy, just one thing after another. luckily it’s going by fast though. #
I just realized that I had absolutely no idea what today’s date was. I just knew it was a Wednesday. #
I love getting rid of responsibility. It should have been IT’s problem in the first place anyways. #
@flocker it’s very slow to refresh, and when I click on the # of unread items it sometimes doesn’t load the RSS page #
what the hell?! A person just signed up at my blog and promptly made himself an administrator….um…wtf? #
@bangbang023 yeah, up to date and everything #

Anyone use any good Stylish suggestions? I thought I’d give it a try finally… #
weird. Outlook 2007 refuses to let me set Firefox –> Gmail as my default mail handler …hmm. It might be a Vista thing though. #
anyone know how I can register the MAILTO handler in Vista to Firefox –> Gmail? It’s not even an option under “Set Associations” #
@steelopus absolutely. I like the new dark look, it’s just ….so not Cnet yellow! 😉 #
@steelopus they did “street view” for Rochester on Google Maps! …I was shocked. wasting so much time playing with this now 🙂 #
finally the phone date with the girl that we’ve been trying to have for a week now 😉 #
@steelopus I expect you to keep me updated on these things. you’re local too…we gotta hold down the ROC (no one else will) 😛 #
@steelopus ah yes. I’m a little slow 😛 #
coffee, limiting other distractions, time to dig into some problem code (yeah, for the rest of the day) #
@steverubel I’d agree with most people that FriendFeed is more of the conversation, Twitter tends to be the initiator of conversations. #
anyone see Shaq’s rap about Kobe? (Sportscenter had it on yesterday)? It’s hilarious in how awful it is. #
I’m wondering how/why the “Detroit Free Press” showed up in my Google Reader feeds…I certainly did not add it on purpose. weird. #
@panache my company blocks techcrunch.com but they allow digg.com …explain that one?! 😉 #
Mac 101: Get that “stuck” disc out of your Mac (can’t tell you the # of times this has happened with my Mini.) http://tinyurl.com/4aukeu #

Anyone use Evernote instead of Google Notebook? How is it better? I’m just curious which people prefer and why. #
http://is.gd/ECB “Seven Ways to Improve your Wine Life” … #5 and #7 are quite good, you may just learn a thing or two. #
@anitsirk that’s a very good point. I just noticed that feature. pretty cool. #
@Matthom Brightkite should do some kind of “frequent places” bookmarks and you could just check in at #2 for example…save some time/typing #
@Matthom hah, but it’s a Tuesday! It’s not even a Monday… no coffee yet? #
“multitasking” like whoa this morning. so far so good, thank god for coffee-induced alertness. #
@Matthom I hear ya. I have “off” days sometimes with Twitter…I just don’t feel like it. (today is NOT one of those days) #
@sbspalding shoot me a DM with your email address…I have 3 invites for Toluu #
how quickly things go down hill. geez. #
finally have a dentist appoint, took nearly 2 months to schedule/reschedule. stupid job gets in the way. #
not every day you see a cop go speeding down a 1 way street. #
what a day indeed. #
Off to the dentist…aka: won’t be able to open my mouth tomorrow morning. #
@Matthom got into Fire Eagle finally…not seeing any invites at the moment, but I haven’t forgotten that I owe you one. #
@bpw I’m an analyst for a large health care company …essentially doing tech support 😉 #
http://is.gd/F3O Incredible version of “You Got Me” by the Roots …live studio recording, so chill, soooo good. #
@Matthom I didn’t realize it was more of a platform than just a service per se. I’ll need to look around a bit more, dig a little. You? #
@Matthom didn’t realize it powers Brightkite…that’s pretty cool though. gives an idea of it’s power/abilities. #
thinking about cashing in my gigantic container of loose change. I’m better $40…and getting a milkshake for my poor teeth. #
I guessed $40… It was $213…um wow. All in change 🙂 #

Twitter swallowed some of my Tweets/replies from yesterday for no particular reason…um, way to go? #
they changed the way you enable/disable calendars in Google Calendar. Way more confusing now, definitely a step back in usability #
@steelopus hah. It’s a Monday. give me a break 🙂 The sun is shining, it’s supposed to be gorgeous and 70 today. #
@steelopus It’s a Monday, and I’m not a morning person 😉 I perk up after my (very strong) coffee. #
@Matthom how’s the CSS rewrite going so far? #
a meeting or two has been cancelled! woot! good start to the day. #

@heidihoover Yeah, I’m not one so much for faith. That might be part of the reason I suppose 😉 #
@heidihoover I found the beginning to be rather boring (most of the spiritualness). Once they were on the raft it was pretty decent. #
@mdjensen any chance of going back before we signed up for Tweetmarks? I have a ton of links from before then I’d like to add to this list. #
@mdjensen Excellent! Thanks for the tip. #
@heidihoover Strangely enough that idea *almost* appealed to me, but then again I don’t like organized religion in general. #
