  • 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 …. 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?) #

  • @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? #

  • 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 #

  • 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 ah yes. I'm a little slow :P #
  • 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?! ;) #

  • 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. #
