• Wow ok. Looking-like and sounding-like a hell of a thunderstorm tonight. #
• it’s 6am on Saturday, I can’t sleep so what should I do? Oh right, watch the season finale of Lost (with lots of coffee) #
• no real plans for the day. maybe clean my closet like I really need to. maybe do absolutely nothing productive. we shall see. #
• http://is.gd/oEm “Lost Season 4 – The Physics of Moving the Island” …vaguely interesting read. #
• http://is.gd/oEs Who knew Lost contained so many science/physics references. Interesting stuff, even if it makes my brain hurt. #
• 86% humidity …ick. No wonder I’m sweating when it’s only 68 outside. #
• @StarrGazr Exatly. Even if you shower you’ll just feel disgusting again in 30 minutes. #
• @StarrGazr definitely. I can deal with 100 if it’s dry heat, but 75 with 90% humidity and I’m just miserable. #
• @StarrGazr 🙂 It’ll get less humd by the time it gets there. The two of can will it so 😉 #
• cleaning out my closet. my goal is at least 40% of the clothing will go to Good Will. *fingers crossed* #
• @StarrGazr did it end up humid today? Or did the willing actually work? 😉 #
• http://is.gd/oNb I seriously want one of these MSI wind’s . Yes, instead of an EEE. #

• reading for the rest of the evening. finishing my book, reading a magazine, and then crashing at a reasonable hour. #
• Anyone need invites for Dropbox? I have 10 invites to give out… #
• Can someone tell me why Dropbox is better than Microsoft FolderShare or Live Mesh? They all do the same thing. I like FolderShare the best. #
• I’m just a reading machine, that was my 4th book in the past 3 weeks. Not bad…now I just need to find something else to read. #
• http://www.plurk.com/user/xxdesmus Plurk is kind of interesting in a “too cutesy” kind of way. I can’t see it taking off though. #
• Breaking news from Last.FM …Unlimited Listening Subscription
  We’re publicly beta testing our ne http://twordy.com/statuses/70 #
• kind of feel like I was hit by a bus this morning. I really need to start getting more rest. #
• @Jeterish an invite for what? I don’t have an invite for the Last.FM beta, that’s for subscribers only. #
• they apparently moved me into my new desk a day early…don’t know what that means for the previous occupant though. #
• I haven’t seen the season finale of Lost yet, please go easy on the spoilers. #
• coffee in hand, prepping for a meeting, and then digging into some VB6 for most of the morning I think. #
• Is there an “unhide all” feature in Excel 2003? I need to hide roughly 50 columns, I hope there is a way to unhide all at the same time… #
• looking like a very busy Friday (morning at least). At least the day will go back quickly, I guess. #
• good to know, new desk is super warm during the day…must get a fan. (and a stapler). #
• @ijustine Let me know if it’s good. I’ll be watching it tonight after work. 😉 #
• Google Analytics is hanging when I try to load Twitter…it just hangs and hangs. It’s probably Twitter’s fault anyways, right? #
• Overcast and 75 this afternoon …absolutely gorgeous weather. #
• How large is your work email box? I’m approaching 800MB in just about 1 year. #
• Time to get the fiz-uck out of here. 😛 #
• what an absolutely miserable and exhausting week. #
• Retweeting @leahjones: If you need me… I’ll be reading. http://www.readatwork.com/ that is a great site! Thanks 😉 #

• downloading the 420MB update for Leopard …geez, I’ll never complain about Windows updates again. This thing is a beast. #
• Anyone need an invite for the Beta of Grooveshark? I have 5 invites to give out. #

• @manaswi IM is currently down. They say it’s coming back eventually. #
• @snowcialmedia Sent. Enjoy! 🙂 Got any invites for Fire Eagle? I’d love to give that a try. #
• http://is.gd/n8T OSX 10.5.3’s addressbook.app now can sync with Gmail’s contacts. That IS pretty cool. Now we just need easy iCal sync. #
• @snowcialmedia Thanks so much. Let me know if you need other invites…I tend to be in a plethora of betas as well 😉 #
• @snowcialmedia pretty cool…kind of like Hulu, but slightly lower quality video. (and probably not entirely legal like Hulu) #
• Plan for the night …some reading, some of the Celtics game, some more reading (finishing the book maybe), 5K tweet?, and sleep. #
• I still find it hard to believe that I was one of the first 10,000 “developers” in the world to get an invite for App Engine. kinda cool. #
• This is my 5,000 tweet. That is all. 🙂 #
• Just got into the beta test for Foxmarks new profile-enabled syncing. Very cool stuff so far. Select which bookmarks to sync instead of all. #
• Celtics are looking damn good tonight…up by 15 points at the moment. 🙂 #
• Geez, Detroit is coming back, and Boston is looking very sloppy. This could be a good ending. #
• whatever. good nigt then I guess. #

• I have a weakness for good bagels with butter. It may be my downfall some day. #
• @ZDNetBlogs I’m not in for the Mozilla “Download Day” when they want my email address to send me reminders. No thanks, I’ll just download it #

• attempting to put on a happy mask, and ignore reality right now. #
• What respectable company these days sends out an email newsletter to customers that doesn’t include an unsubscribe method? Incredibly stupid #
• Wasn’t able to fix this guy’s computer. Grr. It is related to Vista. I know that much at least. #

• @davewiner jury duty can be fun…if the case is interesting that is, and this way you get it out of the way! #
• If I get I get talkative this afternoon/evening I could break 5,000 tweets. Otherwise I’ll definitely break it tomorrow morning. #
• my company is going to be so not happy with me…installing the beta of Dreamweaver CS4 to play around with (for the 2 day grave period). #
• wow, the new UI for Dreamweaver CS4 is …um… hideous. #
• @nick “What is consciousness?” is always a favorite philosophical question. #
• yeah, sometimes I miss the days when I didn’t give a shit. Believe it or not there are some benefits to being numb. #
• Haircut, early dinner (sushi), reading, and a little of the Celtics game. #
• @StarrGazr Incredible images. especially like: “Drawn In”, “Multilevel Multnomah Falls”, and “The Tides, They Are A’Changing”. #
• @StarrGazr Did you mean to share the full size of “Multilevel Multnomah Falls”? FYI, just in case you didn’t mean to. #
• @Grooveshark No, it’s pretty darn awesome. I’m very impressed. I mean, you could let us download the song 😉 #

• anyone have an invitation for Fire Eagle by chance? I’d really like to try it out. #
• ok…so for no particular reason iTunes decided my library file was locked…had to roll back to a backup point from yesterday. *sigh* #
• Few other applications cause me more grief than does iTunes. People wonder why I hate it. Let me count the ways… #
• 2 updates for the nightly builds of Firefox 3 today. I wonder if that means they broke something earlier today (that they are now fixing?) #

• sleep sounds far more enjoyable than feeling like this. #
• reorganizing my entire room…way overdue. This is definitely going to take a while… #
• #Water Glass 5.24.08 Macro http://autopostr.com/wsf6mb #
• busy Saturday …put in a new walk way in the backyard …re-organizing my bedroom now. #
• room reorganizing is coming along quite well. much happier with this setup…it feels more spacious if nothing else. #
• what do you do with old computer hardware that still works? Old wireless routers, old keyboards/mice, etc? Just toss it? #
• @iteachcomputers @AmberO @deemanuk Thanks for the tips! 🙂 I’ve been keeping it in a box, and now it’s overflowing with crap 😉 #
• was expecting my RSS feeds to be way worse…not bad, only 350 to catch up on since this morning or just mark all as read… #
• I forgot how much I dislike Twitterific…it just feels so clumsy to me for some reason. #

• I love that Windows Live Mail is still broken in IE8…that just strikes me as funny. #
• @Matthom Do you have any guesses why I can’t erase/format an external HDD under OSX? It just hangs and I have to force close disk utils #
• @Matthom It’s a custom built external HDD …so generic, USB. Never had a problem with it before, and no suddenly it won’t format. Thx tho. #
• @Matthom …side stepped the problem. restoring the Leopard DVD to my old iPod …then installing off that *cough* 😉 #
• restoring my Mini using Time Machine…we’ll see if this actually works. #
• Retweeting @TechmemeFH: Smart and funny use of Google Adwords http://tinyurl.com/5clp9g #

• going to Barnes and Noble for the second half of work I think…just want to get out of the house this afternoon. #
• wortking from Barnes and Noble failed miserably…the VPN kept dropping and the connection was painfully slow. that was a waste of $4…grr. #

• Anyone need/want an invite for Orgoo? I have 6 to give out… #

• http://www.superlame.com add balloon comments to any photo…dead simple. fun to use. #
• Why does FriendFeed need to be so ugly? They can’t make a nice looking site with all those fancy features? I’d like both personally. #
• @dacort Your blog doesn’t have an RSS feed? Is that right? I couldn’t find one, and Firefox didn’t detect one either. #
• @dacort Thank ya! 😉 Interesting stuff…I wanted to keep an eye on your site. #

• @sharepointbuzz definitely. Playing with Jotspot now…I forgot how cool/powerful this app really is. #
• not excited to attend my Ethics and Compliance training course this morning….such a waste of time every year. #
• This training course feels like a game show…we have little devices to answer questions and everything. Fancy stuff. #
• DocShield or FileHamster for file versioning…hmm…decisions decisions. #
• writing some VB6 for the rest of the afternoon… #
• thank god it’s time for lunch …more coding after that I think. #

• replacing my mac mini’s hard drive …I hope this does the trick #

• Why would anyone actually use widgets inside Opera? Such a stupid idea. #
• information overload: Red Sox game and Celtics game both on, and talking to the girl…trying to multitask. #
• Celtics vs Pistons game is going to be a crazy series…definitely some great basketball. #
• Pap saves the day…Red Sox win in a close one (2-1) …let’s go Celtics! #

• @TheRainKing Right. I think it is a very strange concept as well. #
• @Matthom Hmm…that’s odd. I wonder if the SSL cert provider is having issues. #
• wow… the new beta of Last.FM is very cool. The “my library” feature is awesome! #
• the Last.FM stream seems to have major issues here at work…it always drops the stream or lags so badly that it’s pointless to listen. #
• Dear Visual Studio 6, why do you refuse to save my breakpoints when I close you? That is stupid. At least give me an option to save them. #
• @jxpx777 I feel your pain 😉 #
• @Matthom especially with the Google Health crap now. #
• writing and fighting with some VB6 all day long it looks like. #
• @Matthom definitely. I agree that a single sign on scheme is not a great idea though (in terms of security at least) #

• @Matthom It works pretty well, and I haven’t found a better site for that purpose. #

• good lunch, quite full, very sleepy, in need of a nap. #
