- 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?) #

- 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. #

- 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. #

- 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. #

- 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" #

- 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. #
