trying to write this entire paper this evening, but I think I’d be happy with 1/2 of it though. #
HuddleChat from Google. No doubts, it’s a complete rip-off of Campfire. Just when you think Google can’t suck any more… #
@Rafe Hate it. the desktop application is awful, the upload speed is awful. can’t backup *.exe’s as well. Carbonite and Mozy are much better #
ok…half the paper written. I’m done for the evening I think. The other half is outlined anyways. #
hoping this latest batch of Vista updates won’t kill the *cough* install of Vista on my laptop *cough* #
Flickr Video is now live for the rest of us common folk… http://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/ #
Flickr Video is really nice…simple, to the point, great video quality, and very fast upload speeds. #
yup, basically exhausted this morning. big surpise. #
Gave into the cruel mistress – quad venti iced latte of heaven 😛 #
Kinda way too gorgeous to be stuck in a classroom all day long… #
Twitter is basically the new version of RSS. People follow a person/site on Twitter to get the updates that RSS would provide otherwise. #
Gee, ya think it’s going to rain? The sky is pitch black right now…still 65 though 🙂 #
Got guilt-tripped by a friend, damn it. Oh fine, I’ll go to class I suppose. #
sometimes I just wish my predictions weren’t right. #
Kind of flattered when a friend asked me to help him "get back into being a tech nerd" 😛 #
close to being done with this paper… 30 more minutes before the Red Sox game. #

http://www.modernfeed.com handy site for finding tv shows/movies (legit) online. All in one place. #
it’s a bad sign when my to do list is longer than my screen is tall (1440×900 resolution) #
definitely thinkin about bed…didn’t sleep so well last night #
I did actually have a dream about Twitter last night/this morning. Of course I can’t remember the cool use for it that I thought about. #
my prof told me "it’s not time JUST YET to fall on the sword" …wonderful. not just yet, but maybe soon. …or not. #
yeah, really did bomb that test…like I had assumed. Ah well, just need to work harder apparently. #
Writing use cases, testing the changes I made before I commit them to the live dB. #
cool…the dB changes seem to be working as intended (how often does that actually happen?)! got some verification checks left to do. #
@briancsmith I know, I am/was very confused by that bright orange orb in the sky…what is that thing? 😛 #
watching the Red Sox game on my home computer remotely, while at work *cough* …AND being productive still! #
@steverubel That’s impressive considering how awful the Miami Heat are this year as well. #
it’s amazing how quickly the mood of the afternoon can change sometimes. #
So absolutely gorgeous outside still…65 and sunny. Thank god for Spring! #
is Flickr videos available for everyone now? I am not seeing the "upload video" option any place obvious… #
http://www.lifestream.fm/xxdesmus I like the layout/design of Lifestream.fm way more than Friend Feed or Iminta. #
@briancsmith How so? #
@ijustine please let me know how that is…I’ve really wanted to see that. #
@laughingsquid says it’s a private page… #
@laughingsquid how did you upload video? I am not seeing any place for video when I go to Flickr. #
@laughingsquid right…but where did you click to upload video? Or did you just click "upload photos" and then select videos? #

my webhost just fell off the face of the earth…how, uh, odd. #
@briancsmith I am sure you had a point. Like how Adobe knew about the flaw that was used to own Vista? Right, that was the point I bet. #
going to bed, rather confused right now…I couldn’t even tell you what I am actually confused about. #
I’d love to know why my alarm didn’t go off this morning. damn it. #
Hoping this day flies by…gotta sign up for classes this afternoon too. #
portable Firefox 3 (from thumb drive) is SUPER laggy….almost unusable. I wonder what the problem is? #
I’ve been to my fair share of stupid classes, but that class EASILY takes 1st place! And to think, I pay 2K for each of these classes… … #
https://www.upline.com/ HP’s data storage "in the clouds" is now online. Including a 1GB 1yr free trial. #
First impressions of HP’s Upline backup service: desktop app is WAY more confusing than it needs to be. 1GB for free? WAY too small. #
@itsvista wow…yeah, just noticed that too. This thing is awful. I’ll stick with Carbonite and Mozy. #

UCLA is done. This game is definitely over. #
"McCain got Barack-blocked"….lol. #
UNC getting absolutely bitch slapped right now…down by 21. Wow! #
the announcer just said this game is over…UNC is done. Just go home now. 😛 #
I need to work on using more #hashtags in the future. I wonder if @twhirl could add a "hashtag" button eventually? #
@Matthom Happy Birthday! (my birthday was on Wednesday of this past week). April’s a busy month! 😛 #
Good news: I’m not taking a night seminar next semester. Bad news: I’m taking a BS "desktop applications" class instead (Word, Excel,etc) 😦 #
@Matthom so you’re 21 now I assume?! 😛 #
@Matthom I’m pushing 14 myself! (30 – 5 actually). #
http://is.gd/32K Web Design Rap — "don’t use tables even though they work fine, when it comes to indexing they give searches a hard time." #
http://is.gd/4nZ Paid Search 101 rap — "track your results, reporting is critical and set your goals right be Google analytical" #
integrating Tumblr into my blog…for no particular reason other than being quite bored (and procrastinating) #
How to piss off a user: automatically add yourself to "start with Windows" without bothering to ask. Quicktime, I’m looking at you. grrr.. #
eating some lunch, planning to watch the Red Sox game this afternoon. Beckett is starting for us *fingers crossed* #
Beckett is throwing 98mph consistently. That is a great sign so far. #
The Red Sox are obviously exhausted after the 19 day road trip…2 stupid errors already today. #
@t I have the #Canon SD850 http://is.gd/4p9 I love the image stablizer (great if you have unstable hands like me). #
@Poshy I have the #Canon SD850 http://is.gd/4p9 love the image stablizer (great if you have unstable hands like me). Images quality = great #

J.D. Drew with a 3 homerun in the top of the 7th! 🙂 #
going out to breakfast and then to Barnes and Noble to wander for a bit… #
@Matthom I hear ya, I can’t sleep past 7:30 no matter what I do. #
Headed home soon…coffee in hand, and ready to write some of this philosophy paper. #
runng errands, then headed home for some quality paper writing… #
finally ready to sit down to write some/all of this paper…hopefully it won’t take all that long. *fingers crossed* #
@Matthom Apparently just don’t need much sleep. I go to bed after my girl, and get up WAY before she does. 5 hours is good enough for me. 😛 #
http://is.gd/4iJ "When animals attack in high speed chases"…lol. (SNL skit) #
struggling to get started with this paper. Talking about John Locke’s opinion on knowledge, if it’s more correspondence or coherence theory #
Damn it! Kevin Youkilis (of the Red Sox) just made his first error in 194 games (hasn’t made an error since July 5, 2006). Too bad it’s over #
I’d love to know why the spell check in Word 2007 just randomly stopped working today. Um, what? *blink* #
apparently you can just reinstall Office 2007 over the top of Office 2007 to fix the spellchecker. how odd… #
http://tor.imageshack.us/tor/ You can download torrents using Imageshack.us now…random/cool feature! #
wow, …and *flop* …watching the Final Four tonight. #

@twhirl …still not seeing any kind of update when I manually check from inside the app. #
reading a bit before bedtime. long week, definitely exhausted. #
@twhirl all set now. Thanks for the reply. 🙂 #
coffee and SportsCenter before class #
Looking forward to a weekened of writing papers…hey, at least I can sleep in a bit though. #
not really in the mood today…in general, just across the board. #
just realized I had a very slow month of March for # of tweets. 336 vs. 521 in February …gotta get my #s up this month! #
http://is.gd/4cr "Creative Barcodes" …more interesting than you’d expect. #
what a shitty day this has become. …just so indicative of this entire week. *sigh* #
http://www.desktoptopia.com/ Just went completely free (and now with a PC version). #
Much better outcome than I expected, to be completely honest. #

Interesting Links 4.4.08

An interesting collections of links, primarily aimed at CSS this time. I can’t wait for this semester to be over with so I can get back to some web design. I am so behind in terms of things I want/need to read at this point.

@briancsmith heh… I’m in Webster also 😛 #
http://is.gd/3Uf hands on with Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA4) #
it has not been the best day ever. *sigh* #
absolutely exhausted this morning. feels like I didn’t even sleep my minimimum of 5 hours. ugh #
Why I like Starbucks: Starbucks – 95% of the time you get good coffee. Dunkin Donuts – maybe 15% of the time you get good coffee. ugh, fail. #
FYI: if you installed Firefox 3 as a clean install remember to re-enable pipelining and to increase the max requests! #
The good news is that my office hasn’t blamed me for what broke yesterday (it’s not my fault anyways)…I bet that changes soon though. #
"I can’t help but to think of you" …sometimes the simple things sound so profound. #
2 raises in less than 1 year…that’s always a nice compliment! 🙂 #
hmm… Twhirl refuses to display people’s avatars? weird. #
@twhirl Not seeing an update yet. Also http://is.gd/3Uw congrats on a VERY respectable 3rd place! 🙂 #

@steelopus The computer is ALWAYS strong enough for Twitter 😛 #
http://is.gd/3Kp "I’m f**king Obama" …hilarious! #
http://is.gd/3Kt "URL as UI" …smart (and some what obvious) idea about creating clean elegant URLs for your users. #
http://is.gd/3Kw Erica Meyer’s "Acid Redux". Safari and Opera "passing" Acid 3 means little considering it was a hack job. #
watching the Red Sox game…so nice to have baseball back! #
skipping class this morning, instead writing my paper due next week for that class. makes sense right? #
not so amused today. oh well. #
I couldn’t (or well wouldn’t) tell you why I’m so grumpy today. #
in a better mood because of her, gee…surprising! 😛 #
FYI, 25 feels no different than 24. Though, a quarter century does sound cool! #
I feel like following @redsoxcast is a bit too much. I’d need an entire Twitter client just dedicated to the live cast for each game… #
MLB.TV is trying to force MS Silverlight and a craptastic NextDef plugin on me…yeah, um no thanks. #
writing some or all of this paper this evening…that is the plan at least. we’ll see how far I actually get. #
absolutely exhausted this evening, wondering if I can even make it to 10pm. this will be a battle I think. #
iTunes is using 640MB of RAM again…what a piece of s**t this application is. #

doing surprisingly well with actually working ahead on my papers/assignments. I am proud of myself! *knocks on wood* #
http://is.gd/3Ac "Search tomorrow’s web, today!" Google’s brand new gDay technology… #
@joec0914 Firefox + Adblock Plus = eternal happiness. #
avoiding stupid jokes today. very busy today. obviously it starts with coffee 😛 #
super busy day, but it’s going well at least *knock on wood* #
trying to open 3 different 80MB XML files…computer/Notepad++ freaking out at the moment. #
playing with XML maps in Excel. always fun! #
http://a.viary.com/home Aviary is pretty damn impressive. wow. (online image editor) #
writing documentation is always exciting. #
Anyone want an invite for Aviary? #
I have commenting disabled on my WP blog (I use Intense Debate instead), and yet I am still getting comment spam? wtf? #
