off to bed I go, g’night all 🙂 #
and the stress comes back with a vengence today… I’m hoping this week goes very very fast. Can’t it just be Friday already? #
well that was kind of useless…met with my prof and he didn’t help/add much. ah well. #
It’s always hard to go to class the final week of classes #
killing time between classes, thinking about lunch maybe… #
watching the Red Sox matinÃ©e game…really don’t want to go to class this afternoon (but I have to) #
getting ready to make a dent in this paper. #
@mozunk nope. do you have any left? #
http://is.gd/7OP Red Sox (past and present) batting stances …kind of hilarious. #
@nogrrlsallowed Ebay is your friend. I got 5 years of Maxim for $12. No way I’d buy it otherwise #
is Firefox 3 crashing for anyone else with the newest version of Java installed? (it’s probably just my horrible luck) #
right now is that wonderful dusk glow that is just perfect for taking pictures … too bad I’m writing this damn paper instead. #

the FriendFeed support in Twhirl is pretty clumsy right now…lets hope it gets figured out in the next update. #
and the Red Sox storm back to take the lead in the bottom of the 8th #
http://is.gd/7vC "Son-Of-A-Bitch Mouse Solves Maze Researchers Spent Months Building" #
trying to figure out what the hell I’ll write about for this paper #
disconnecting for the day I think…stressing out a bit too much for my own good. #
@fillealouer I’d have to agree, I get all kinds of these spam followers. #
going to go run errands so I can claim to be doing something vaguely productive today #
@fillealouer lol. I think I blocked Sandy a long time ago. Sometimes I just don’t feel like being productive! (or reminded that I should be) #
Really long line for the car wash…looks like i’ll be here for a while. #
A little piece of my soul dies each time I go to the mall… #
always kind of annoys me when I can’t "find" the music I’m looking for…guess I’ll actually have to pay for it *cough* #
Jo Stafford – "I’m So Right Tonight" …wow…um yeah. #
http://is.gd/7zg …just bought another Red Sox t-shirt…can’t wait to wear it in NYC this weekend :P… think I’ll get killed? #
Sunny, 70s, light breeze, and a few random clouds…absolutely beautiful day. Reading on the deck instead of watching baseball. #
@helloleticia I’m really impressed/glad that the bracket is not an image. 🙂 (thank god for CSS) #
@helloleticia hey, at least you’re trying to learn. We all start some place! 🙂 #
@helloleticia That’s great. I’m not an expert, but if you have any questions please let me know/feel free to ask. #
and the Red Sox take the lead in the bottom of the 8th inning (scoring 4 runs)… 🙂 #
@mozunk I’d love a t-shirt 🙂 what do I need to do? #
pizza for dinner… yum, reading, relaxing, watching the Celtics game a bit later. #
sappy, but cute line from this song: "get ready baby…you’re going to be kissed, at least a dozen…for each kiss we missed" #
@fillealouer glad it made you laugh, that’d be the goal 😛 #
@unixfudotnet those are the best kind of conversations…as compared to the inverse: 3 minutes FEELS like 3 hours…so painful. #
it’s amazing how much Twitter slows down on Sundays, and of course it’ll pick right back up tomorrow morning… #

Red Sox are blowing this game open… 4 runs in the 3rd inning, 5 runs in the 4th inning so far… #
new Roots album (Rising Down) is really good …thank god for early leaks. #
HP’s Upline Service (backup service) has been temporarily suspended …wow that was fast. They gave up on that idea pretty damn quick! #
coffee, maybe a dog walk, and getting started on writing this paper…supposed to be sunny and 80 today 🙂 #
writing another (and my final) philosophy paper … dealing with the mind/body problem. exciting stuff! #
just noticed the size of my iTunes library … no wonder iTunes is struggling – 18,091 songs = 44.5 days = 85.11GB #
so far I’m failing at finding motivation for this paper… #
@MaltaPa It’s working just fine. #
@MaltaPa You should take a look at TwitKit also http://is.gd/7p1 quite nice (if you’re using Firefox). #
paper writing seems to flowing now 🙂 …woohoo… #
@MaltaPa Yeah, I use it on my Portable Firefox install – works great. Just make sure to change the default refresh (it’s 30 seconds). #
@MaltaPa TwitKit uses API calls, at 30s refresh you’re going to exceed the limit in less than 35 minutes…kinda an oversight by the dev. #
@MaltaPa Twhirl is great. I only use TwitKit with Firefox on my thumb drive. What’s the paper on? #
@steelopus damn hippies! *shakes fist* almost as bad as yuppies! What place? #
@steelopus ahh. that makes a little more sense then. #
@MaltaPa far more exciting than my philosophy paper on the definition of the "self" #
@MaltaPa I don’t mind it terribly, but it does make my brain hurt sometimes. #
@MaltaPa lol. I seem to OK at it: philosophizing and twitttering concurrently. perhaps they are really the same thing 😛 #
@TheRainKing what problems does Twhirl have? #
@TheRainKing ah, that does sound annoying. Thanks for the heads up! #
done and done! 1 more paper down, 1 more (large) paper to go. #
treating myself to some Starbucks before I begin work on my other paper…I deserve a venti quad iced latte right? #
@briancsmith snow tomorrow?! what? where are you seeing that? #
Spaz (Twitter client) is really…uh…ugly? Twhirl FTW! #
Thank god for Facebook…I never thought I’d ever say that. #
trying to pick the easiest possible topic to write about for this final paper…so burnt out, really need to be done writing. #
@1god he really does look like the Sith Lord …I wonder if that means something… #
paper writing, reading, and generally trying not to freak out because of stress. #

almost said "screw it" and blew off this paper…would love to watch the Red Sox/Yankees game. instead, I’m going to finish this paper. #
paper (mostly) done! score …now time for 100 something pages of reading *whimper* #
wow… the next match up of Red Sox/Yankees isn’t until mid July …yeah…I need to watch this game (and act like I’m reading) #
Forced to watch Red Sox/ Yankees on YES…this is f**king painful and pathetic. It’s the FOX of sports…so bias it’s ridiculous. #
@skitch I’ll cheat. "Skitch + Windows = happy user." 😛 #
girls *sigh* #
another really tired morning. I miss sleeping, it was so nice when I did it in the past. #
In 6 days and 10 hours from now I’ll be in a much better mood. #
beautiful morning, just need that beautiful girl to share it with (1 more week)… #
Failed at trying to convince prof to have class outside…wheb does that ever actually work out? #
Dear god…girl with the shortest skirt ever…isn’t that illegal? #
@steelopus lol…that may be difficult to manage. in fact I might get arrested for doing that 😛 #
@steelopus I don’t think my girl would be too happy with me 😛 #
it was 82 at school, and it’s 67 here at home (because of the lake)…pretty impressive temp. difference! #
kind of a pain in the ass, but training to work on my papers outside…a little too bright though, hard to see the laptop screen. #
@steelopus "yes dear, I was arrested for trying to take a picture of a girl in a REALLY short skirt. Yes dear, I’ll sleep on the couch". 😛 #
finished proof reading 3 papers…so those are officially checked off the to do list. Woohoo! *does a little dance* 🙂 2 more paperst o go.. #
@laughingsquid I’m so jealous. Burp Castle is a great bar! I won’t be down to NYC until next weekend though. #
stomach is really unhappy with me…perhaps I should just take it easy this evening. #

done enough paper writing for tonight …almost done with this one *knocks on wood* #
off to bed a little early I think. g’night #
absolutely exhausted this morning, feels like I didn’t even sleep last night. #
Waiting in line at Dunkin Donuts…what are the odds the coffee will be any good today? I don’t have great luck here…. #
eating lunch in 4 minutes never leads to feeling very well afterwards #
I really wish I could wear flip flops to work…I would enjoy work so much more if I could. #
@Scobleizer TechCrunch doesn’t review hardware though, totally different type of information on CNET. #
I’ve just given up trying to keep up with my RSS feeds today, no chance it’s going to happen. "marked as read" #
updating documentation, writing use cases, and hopefully getting some programming done before I leave #
TwitKit (for Firefox) is quite nice…finally a usable sidebar for Twitter. #
tweaking some VB6 code. Note: I don’t know VB6, and yet I need to make this work. Uh oh… #
from the sounds of it I’ll be learning VB6 and Ruby on Rails (jRails) this summer…cool stuff *gulp* #
@jimmoon individual file backup? or full disk image backups? #
@twitkit loading @’s doesn’t work for me. The default refresh time of 30 seconds seems a bit high. Does this use the API or web calls? #
@twitkit Also, just noticed your shortcut (ctrl+shft+f) is the same as Foxmarks. Just FYI. #
@twitkit how can I get the bleeding edge version? I’d love to test/help/play/break things #
@twitkit ouch, that makes this a bit less appealing b/c I already use Twhirl. 30 seconds default is definitely way too quick in my opinion. #
@jimmoon Does it need to be free software? Acronis True Image Home is great ($50). http://tinyurl.com/5hh5v #
@twitkit I know, but I think default of 30 secs is too fast. "normal" users may not change the prefs and they’ll definitely exceed the limit #
time for a quick dinner, some quality paper writing, hopefully some reading, and maybe catching the tail end of the Red Sox/Yankees game. #

reading philosophy, writing about said philosophy, and hopefully finishing 1 of my research papers…god I hope so. #
*gasp* I think this paper is ….done! (well, I’ll tweak it over the next few days, but basically done). #
2 papers "done" (except for tweaking), 3 more to go … 30 pages written so far, only 40 more to go (in the next 8 days). #
setting up my WinXP virtual machine for work-related things (like my office’s VPN client) #
is it weird that watching the little defragmenter work it’s magic is oddly mesmerizing? #
@Matthom uh, that’s really odd. What brand of external HD? This is from Leopard I assume? I’ve copied bigger than 10GB before. #
Twitter Tools (on WordPress) is acting up for some reason. #
Gorgeous weather + boring classes = hard to pay attention. Can I just be done already? #
trying to take a deep breathe, because otherwise I’m on the verge of freaking out. #
updating Twitter from Alert Thing. Still don’t think I like it enough to switch from Twhirl. #
Dear Alert Thingy, minimize means minimize (with an option to the tray). Close means
actually close the application, not minimize to tray. #
off to a barbeque brielfy, even though I should be working on this paper. #
anyone have a song (or two) that they hear and instantly get goose bumps from? #
@steelopus I’ll check it out, thanks for the tip! 🙂 #
@steelopus hmm… can’t seem to find the song any place. do you know where I could stream it by chance? #
@steelopus scratch that, just finally found a preview. very nice song. #
@steelopus I’d love to get a full copy of it. Thank you. 🙂 (my email is xxdesmus @ Google’s email service). #
rediscovering my collection of Beach Boys songs 🙂 …how did I ever "lose" these? geez. #
@steelopus Thank you! Appreciate it. #
@steelopus geez…what a song?! You like jazz? I have a particular song that gives me goose bumps. #
@steelopus Have you heard Alexi Murdoch’s "Orange Sky"? great song… #
@steelopus That I can do. your name @ gmail? or? #
@steelopus Ah yes, duh! 😛 I’m not too quick this evening. Headed your way now. #

I love how I pay $20 a month for MLB.TV and yet the web player works maybe 1 out of 5 times when I try to actually use it. What a POS. #
@RatherBeBiking if this happens 1 more time I am going to cancel, don’t you worry 😛 …this crap happened last year too. #
any literature junkies out there? I could use some suggestions (please DM me) #
manually deleting users from WordPress because the admin UI refused to let me. glad I know some MySQL… #
studying/reading, quick phone call, and off to sleepy land. #
@gregsblog AIM 7? where can I get that? #
SO much work to do in way TOO little time. *sigh* #
this particular project is so ridiculously out of scope that I am not even going to stress about it. It’s just not going to happen on time. #
@Matthom external HD? plug it in, move it …rinse repeat on new system? #
making slow, but steady progress this afternoon…then home to do all kinds of paper writing. #
@Aubs try using Lotus Notes! A little piece of my heart dies each day I have to use this piece of shit. #
Headed home finally.what a brutal day/week. #
http://is.gd/6q7 Use MS Word 2007 smarter. some very handy tips. #

Red Sox vs Yankees is turning into a pitching duel so far. #
Wang has a 1 hitter unfortunately…it’s going to be tough to get 2 more runs tonight. #
Rather large thunderstorm this evening, all kinds of loud noises and pretty lights. #
@thejustinesane Don’t know if I agree… plenty of women just need a place as well 😛 #
need to buckle down and write 2 smaller papers this weekend so I can focus on bigger papers during the week. We’ll see how that plan goes #
running errands, writing papers, hoping to watch the Red Sox game this afternoon. #
not feeling so great, but I still need to try and write this paper anyways #
I really just don’t know any more. #
trying to turn off my brain and watch some baseball #
Beckett with 2 strike outs in the first 3 batters…that’s what I like to see. #
damn it, Ortiz is the king of hititng into double plays so far this season #
for the first time ever I am actually using one of my own images as my wallpaper. (kind of impressed with myself). #
damn you rain delays *shakes fist* …waiting for the end of the Red Sox vs Yankees game. #

should be finishing this paper…instead I’m doing just about anything but that. #
Anyone have an invite for http://www.toluu.com ?? I’d love to try it out, sounds very interesting. #
kinda empty this evening. I won’t explain. Just trust me: empty. #
finishing up 1 more assignment this evening, and then it’s definitely time for bed. #
so uh …Mac geniuses, what does a grey folder with a question mark during boot up mean? …and wtf? #
http://tinyurl.com/226n9y Grey folder icon with a blinking question mark is a dead OSX. ain’t that just f-ing wonderful… #
lol…my mac mini just died. *sigh* So much for Macs. Same S**t, Different Day. #
@steelopus the hard drive died – it clicked, clicked, clicked, clunked. #
@steelopus I know. just angry at all electronics right now :-p #
it’s so much nicer going to bed giddy… g’night all. #
@DiMambro do you use Firefox? Colorzilla (extension) is great for HTML color tasks… #
@DiMambro The Firefox extension ColorZilla does have an eyedropper tool #
To coffee now or to coffee latte ….har har har. I am just so witty in the morning 😛 #
rainy grey day today…but it’s Friday so who cares!? #
cold and rainy today…ok, not THAT cold, but colder than I’d like. 2 classes than all kinds of work to do this evening. #
Looking forward to the weekend – just a little bit. #
singing Frank like I’ll be singing it to you in 2 weeks *sigh* …way too much to do before then though. #
yesterday’s nightly build of Firefox 3 is absolute garbage. can’t even tell you how many times it’s crashed in the past 24 hours. #
has anyone had trouble deleting a user on WordPress 2.5? …I get a failure message when I try to delete a subscriber level account. #
at Barnes and Noble … being productive, writing papers and such…(well that’s the plan) #
annoying thing about Office 2007 … control + shift + S is no longer "Save As" …in fact I can’t find any shortcut for "Save As". #
@dacort talk about an awkward key combination! but you’re brilliant! Thanks 🙂 #
"Claire de Lune" – Claude Debussy ….one of those classical music songs that really "hits" me for some reason. #
I am being crazy productive this afternoon… already checked off 4 items from my (far too long) to do list! I might actually relax tonight. #
I can’t believe no one has created a RTM sidebar gadget for Vista yet. odd. Perhaps I’ll give it a try this summer. #
cool cool, I may get to "beta test" a new laptop from an "undisclosed" company (Dell, Sony, Apple, or Toshiba)… #
It’s always pathetic and annoying to watch anything on YES because they are so cleary biased. #
well that’s cool…I just got a free TomTom. (too bad the device is kinda awful) #
http://www.demonoid.com/ Demonoid is back!!! #
@joec0914 lol…I feel your pain. I have way too many deer in my yard as well. #

planning out the next 2 weeks of my life…final 2 weeks of class (way too many papers to write in 14 days). #
Watching a random show on Nat Geo…should be doing work instead. #
headed off to bed …was up WAY too late last night. g’night all 🙂 #
looks to be a rather slow day at work *knocks on wood*…granted, that rarely every actually happens. #
a little bit of busy work to, well, keep me busy (and from going insane) #
that’s cute, my company blocks any URL with "wp" (like WordPress) in it. That’s remarkably stupid… #
kind of wish I could have 2 separate RTM to-do lists within the same account. I want my personal/work TOTALLY separated… #
@sernovitz that could be a sign that you’re updating too much/too often 😛 #
dear god, we have a chance of snow on Monday…what the hell? *grumble* #
@JChrist you’re doing a great job, indeed! Keep up the hard work! #
just added my last day of (undergrad) college to my to-do list: "F-ING DONE 12/12" 🙂 🙂 #
oh crap, today was CSS naked day wasn’t it?… #
"show off your naked <body> on CSS naked day" …har har! Kinda genius though! #
trying to ignore this "mood"…I have way too many things to do be doing right now to be upset. #
Anyone know a free (and easy) way to combine 4 images into a PDF? I don’t feel like installing Acrobat Pro just to do this… #
