Tweets for 2009-04
-
@Documentally Congratulations! I hope all is going well. First baby?
-
@simX That was NOT nice. But cute at the same time.
-
Right - today is April 1st. Need to be careful around the Intertubes.
-
@Documentally I also found that unsettling. There you are, at the biggest, most-nervous moment of your life, and they Act. So. Calm.
-
Ooooh - I just noticed my next tweet will be my 1000th. I wonder what will it be?
-
And this would be my 1000th tweet, now being automatically broadcast on FaceBook. Isn't that exciting. w00t. Now - coffee #fb
-
@latone Package arrived today, the keys are very cool. Thanks a lot for your help!
-
I am now the proud owner of a 4GB iamaKey USB key: http://tinyurl.com/bdd8u7 It's very cool #fb
-
RT @gsightseeing: Undoubtedly, this couple have been caught on Google Street View having sex. http://bit.ly/7Dda0 #streetview
-
@myrcurial I use VMware, but I hear Parallels is very good too - never used it, VMware is sort of standard at work.
-
@whisperings Are you tracking your "follow us on twitter" announcements with batches of new followers? It might be interesting.
-
@Documentally http://twitpic.com/2pmpl - Congratulations! He's beautiful.
-
@Documentally Wow, big boy! Happy to hear that everything went well after the long and exhausting delivery.
-
@simX Well, in most of the world (except US, maybe UK), "football" means "soccer".
-
@simX For the other sport, you'd say something like (e.g. in Mexico) "american football"
-
@tgardner As is NeoOffice 3.0 - has been working fine for me.
-
Weird: Safari 4 suddenly opening links from apps in new windows instead of tabs, despite the preference to the contrary
-
@mattgemmell Trying Bluebird - looks very nice indeed, thanks for the pointer.
-
Aaand... back in Syrinx
-
@MRRSoftware @mattpat @mike9r Feature req for your twitter clients: automatically download/show photos, like this: http://tinyurl.com/chkgfq
-
I loved Switzerland's April 1st joke: http://www.myswitzerland.com/mountaincleaners
-
Bluebird automatically puts itself on all Spaces? Not nice.
-
Although it doesn't appear in the Spaces pref pane. How very odd.
-
I'm running Bluebird and Syrinx side to side at the moment. BB looks very nice, but I'm addicted to Syrinx' Pause feature
-
@Darknater What's happening?
-
Going to bed now. Chicken pox is getting better now, but still gives us restless nights, I need to accumulate some sleep while I can.
-
@Documentally Indeed. I got a parking ticket the day my second daughter was born :-(
-
Dear Lotus Notes: STOP STEALING MY FOCUS. That (among many other things) is why I avoid using you whenever I can.
-
Playing with the Google Earth plugin examples at http://tinyurl.com/6naxm7 #fb
-
Going home early to enjoy the nice Friday afternoon weather with my family #fb
-
Making Cajeta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajeta ). I LOVE the stuff, but it takes forever to make.
-
AND it requires constant stirring. I've been in the kitchen for 2 hours already.
-
@domdingelom @Shrdlu I love House as well, but I'm only starting Season 3 at the moment.
-
Still stuck in the kitchen, stirring. Using the time to label missing faces in iPhoto :-)
-
@Darknater I could eat a liter of it in one sitting. First time making it at home, let's see how it comes out.
-
Sometimes iPhoto detects the face of someone way off in the distance, but misses the person facing the camera in the foreground. Weird.
-
@Darknater On the other hand, it's now getting really good at differentiating among my two daughters, which it often confused before.
-
@Shrdlu Engüete!
-
It's finally done! That took long enough, but the result should be worth it.
-
RT @domdingelom: I gotta fly SWA one day ... http://video.yahoo.com/network/100284668?v=4743429&l=4418225
-
And that's all for tonight. It's 1AM here already, good night everyone.
-
@Documentally http://twitpic.com/2woal - What a beautiful photo. He looks so tiny, and so peaceful. Yet they grow so fast. Enjoy this time!
-
Hrmph... I have surprisingly little mail for a Monday morning. Something must be wrong.
-
Baby had fever all weekend - we think it's the chicken pox. Going home to stay with older sister so she can go to the doctor with my wife.
-
Turns out it wasn't chicken pox, just some other viral throat infection. CP is most certainly still coming - she was exposed to it all week.
-
Awesome! I want one of those RT @vkoser: @doctorlinguist http://www.nowhereelse.fr/c64-laptop-commodore-64-portable-18398/
-
How very odd. I just noticed several tweets from yesterday are missing from my timeline in twitter.com
-
http://twitpic.com/2x1rs - It's on beautiful days of spring like today that I really miss having my Z4
-
So true: http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1156
-
Great video RT @domdingelom: http://gawker.com/5198151/an-amazing-rescue-in-little-sydney video ART
-
RT @njames: there's a lot of wisdom in this pic from @gapingvoid http://www.gapingvoid.com/ignore%20everybody%200904Ajpeg.jpg
-
The description is even more impressive than the image itself: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1323.html
-
@cakewrecks Very sorry for your loss. I appreciate all the CW laughs, but in the end we are all humans with good and bad in our lives.
-
Still debating whether to get MacHeist 3 or not
-
bah. caved in, just bought it
-
@vkoser sh*t - too late, I ordered it already. Sorry...
-
I bought the @MacHeist 3 Bundle. 12 Top Mac apps worth $900+ for just $39 AND I just got Delicious Library 2 FREE! http://mhtweet.com/yJ8pPf
-
Oh boy. I sold my twitter soul for DL2 and a game. Sorry for the spam.
-
Anyway, off to sleep. If anyone is still thinking of buying Macheist 3, feel free to use my referral link: http://tinyurl.com/dznfnd
-
Up already - this 6AM waking schedule the baby has adopted recently is really tiring.
-
@loic Trying Seesmic Desktop for the first time. Looks very slick. User lists and saved searches! Cool.
-
Following @zambonini just because of his last name :-)
-
@zambonini :-)
-
@macdevnet The same happens to me, but with Syrinx. It just feels right, and has some features that are quite addictive (bookmark and pause)
-
@Shrdlu True :-) Hope your kid is better! Mine fell down hard on her knee yesterday, she'll miss the Easter Egg hunt party at daycare today
-
Most used app from MH3 so far? World of Goo. Very addictive.
-
@Documentally Why are they doing stories about @Minimentally? If it were my baby, I wouldn't let them.
-
I see that LibraryThing can import from DL2. Cool, I might be able to keep both in sync
-
Off twitter for the rest of the day. Too much work to do, and it's supposed to be a holiday today :-(
-
The Hit List looks promising - it came with MH3, so I may give it a try and see if it's as good as Things
-
@vkoser I've been an avid user of Things, but THL looks very nice, and it's been getting very good reviews: http://tinyurl.com/c2rt6d
-
FWIW: The Hit List is AWESOME so far. Will write more about it in the future.
-
@vkoser No iPhone app yet, though they've promised it. I don't have an iPhone, so I don't car about that :-) Sync with iCal works well tho
-
@vkoser You'll have the same problem with THL I'm afraid. Have you tried ThinkingRock? Not the prettiest, but very good and cross platform
-
I was so distracted coding that i missed my train stop. Taking the train back now.
-
Made it to my office finally. I hate it when that happens :-)
-
BTW, in the train I was playing with The Hit List's Applescript capabilities. Now looking for a way to export my tasks from Things.
-
@vkoser Not too far. Had to wait ~20 minutes for the next train, delayed me ~30 mins total
-
@vkoser I've seen them but never tried them. I could send you some if you want.
-
I'm using porting my tasks from Things to THL as an excuse to learn Ruby,
-
@vkoser Sure, no problem.
-
@Shrdlu You should try not _being_ there (but arrange a hidden camera or microphone :-) You'll see how they manage.
-
@funkatron If you don't use it yet, buy it. It's truly, really, very useful and well done. Agree 100% with @vkoser.
-
@funkatron @vkoser OK then, I'm preaching to the choir :-)
-
Working on my script to migrate my tasks from Things to The Hit List. #things #thehitlist #fb
-
Damn you Office 2008 trial installer, for modifying my dock
-
RT @Beaker: Screw the Manifesto racket. I'm forming "La Clouda Nostra". You either joins the Clouda or yous suffahs the consequences,capice?
-
@zrlram Nice name
-
@MRRSoftware The visual changes in the recent betas are very nice - looks much more polished. Oh, and nice to meet you and not your logo :-)
-
Playing the Twitter speed-typing game at http://fast140.com - How fast can you type?
-
@ids That's why I avoid it like the plague.
-
@parent_tweets This? http://www.coffee-mate.com/
-
Interesting: http://tinyurl.com/dlu5jd On my disk, with 41GB free, largest free block is 7.5GB
-
The youngest one finally got chicken pox too. Right on schedule too, 17 days after the other one started (book said 17-21 incubation days)
-
@parent_tweets It's powder coffee cream. Sorry, can't see the original tweet you replied to (protected), so I'm lacking context.
-
I see. Have you tried Mate tea? I'm drinking it also in place of coffee, it's very good (but still quite caffeinated)
-
@parent_tweets The original looks like this http://tinyurl.com/y7ns72 but they also sell it in regular tea packets,it's good with milk/cream
-
@MRRSoftware BTW, sometimes "Show conv" on a reply to a non-followee does not open the tweet in the browser. Known issue?
-
@MRRSoftware Rather it just collapses to the reply tweet in the Syrinx window.
-
I should be finishing some reading I have to do for a meeting in 30 mins. Off twitter for a while.
-
Once again, Syrinx "Pause" feature FTW
-
Bwahaha. Paper finished on time, with 10 minutes to go!
-
Up already. Chicken pox night two: not so bad.
-
Decided to take the day off today
-
Out shopping with the family. I had to work on easter, so taking thu/fri off. Nice weather too.
-
at home with one poor little chicken-pox-ridden baby. Sleeping now at least
-
@Shrdlu At least with chicken pox, we know that's it, never again, for the rest of their lives :-)
-
@Shrdlu Ugh, true. Hopefully not.
-
@domdingelom Indeed - that's the worse at the moment. She looks at us (mostly my wife) like saying "make it stop!" It's very frustrating
-
@latone Have fun! Here we are approaching the end of the day already
-
@andrewsmhay Because airlines are not interested at all in saving you time?
-
@zrlram What do you have? Are you OK?
-
It's 1:22 AM and here I am trying to debug a Ruby program. Being a Ruby beginner doesn't help. I should go to sleep. But. Must. Squash. Bug.
-
Bug squashed, then surfaced again. Too tired, need some sleep.
-
bwahahahaha, found it. *pounds chest* good night
-
In the office again. Entering twitter-free zone for a while
-
Trying out Tweetie for the Mac http://bit.ly/6FXY I like the look, very clean.
-
@Darknater Not as far as I can tell
-
@zen_habits Agree - I'm liking it very much
-
My car wasn't back from repairs on the agreed time, so the garage gave me a Mini One convertible for a day, for free :-)
-
Testing new Tweetie for Mac Bookmarklet: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/534786/tweetie.html
-
I love how Tweetie automatically loads more tweets when you reach the end of the list. Very nicely done.
-
And now, again, time for some serious work.
-
@avlieshout @gabvirtualworld Did you snapshot any VMs with VNC+pswd enabled? That has caused things to crash for me, and confirmed by VMware
-
@avlieshout @gabvirtualworld Solution was to remove the offending snapshot by hand, then restart things again.
-
@tweetie is truly beautiful. And I love how it opens twitpic images directly, without going to the browser.
-
@tweetie is the only Twitter client that has kept me away from Syrinx for more than a few min lately. I've been using it all day and love it
-
@sgaw Agree. Tweetie's conversation view is very nicely done, by showing tweets even from people you are not following.
-
@MRRSoftware I'm still in love with Syrinx (Pause, bookmark are unique features). But Tweetie has a _very_ polished UI.
-
@ids They got you now - nowhere to run :-)
-
Wow, I just realized there are four other people named like me in Facebook
-
@tweetie @MRRSoftware On a whim, I added both Tweetie and Syrinx to the Twitter fan wiki Apps page: http://bit.ly/dxhNt feel free to fix :-)
-
@tweetie @MRRSoftware BTW, I got to that page because it's linked to from http://twitter.com/downloads
-
RT @zambonini: [...] auto-refilling wine glass. Plus, it's a beautiful thing to look at. http://www.kyouei-ltd.co.jp/g-t-e.html
-
RT @DiegoZamboni: Set up this account after reading http://bit.ly/c5njI I do my real twittering as @zzamboni
-
Also gave me a chance to test @tweetie's multiple-account support. Again, very nicely done.
-
@domdingelom Agree (same for me). Registered it just to make sure no one else got it.
-
Really amazing and quite addictive RT @mpb Wow! How did they make this? http://tinyurl.com/co7t85
-
@XabbuTardis Glad you liked it! I think it has a very nice UI. I still miss the Syrinx bookmark and pause features, though
-
Vmware vSphere client keeps losing connection to my ESX server. It's driving me mad.
-
@zambonini LaTeX? It can render PS, PDF, easily converted to HTML, text, possibly even XML.
-
@mattgemmell I'll add. Thou shalt not expect to be followed back if thine updates are protected.
-
@mattgemmell You beat me to it :-)
-
Wow. RT @lmacvittie: Apple won't let you swear in an iPhone app, but will let you simulate shaking a baby to death. http://bit.ly/15q9yW
-
Watching a compilation whiz by while piano music (from iTunes) plays in the background. They seem strangely in sync.
-
This is the weirdest idea: sockscription http://tinyurl.com/2ome8z
-
@Darknater What? Not that I know. Link?
-
@Darknater My bad. My brain's humor detector has shut down this late in the day :-)
-
Oh boy, I'm falling asleep. Better go to bed before I break something bad in the code I'm modifying.
-
At least I'm coherent. My Twitter personality: likeable inquisitive cautious My style: chatty coherent TALKER http://twanalyst.com/zzamboni
-
@mpb Happy Friday to you as well Paul!
-
Compiling my latest batch of doxygen doc additions. Then, lunch.
-
Friday afternoon distraction: NFCTD http://www.nfctd.com/home.html Weird and a bit nightmarish (find sequence to advance between screens)
-
@thegadgeteer I don't think you need to apologize. Some people are too sensitive and rude (referring to one comment on your post).
-
AGH. Doxygen can be so confusing.
-
I despise Mac applications that break when you run them on a case-sensitive filesystem.
-
Anyone knows why some tweets in @tweetie (Mac version) appear pre-dimmed, as if they were read already?
-
You can't make up stuff like this: http://bit.ly/R4Yhg #airforceone flyover New York City
-
RT @zambonini: Like the idea of '.mac' but don't want to pay for the service? Try the open source version: http://code.google.com/p/dotmac/
-
@rodet I guess that was to be expected. But the functionality looks very nice.
-
@ischi If I'm already running my own server, then the incremental cost is zero except for the effort of setting it up.
-
@ischi ...which _could_ be significant - won't know until I try it.
-
@mckeay I don't think there's a pandemic yet, but there is the risk of a pandemic. See http://bit.ly/1atl4V (they declared Phase 4)
-
@mckeay "Phase 4 indicates a significant increase in risk of a pandemic but does not [...] mean that a pandemic is a forgone conclusion."
-
@zambonini Just use Tweetie, its conversation view is very good.
-
@Documentally I feel your pain. My 3yro daughter still wakes up at night. Add the 10mo baby, and I'm up and around most of the night.
-
@mckeay How I envy you. I haven't known the feeling in 3 years
-
@zen_habits Great talk, but I don't think it justifies homeschooling (nor it tries to). Going to school also creates other abilities...
-
@zen_habits ...beyond pure learning, like social, cooperation and planning skills.
-
Faces in iPhoto is nice, but it has a loooong way to go
-
Plus, why on earth is there no key shortcut for "Add Missing Face"? And no menu item, so I can't add one myself. Grrrrrrr.
-
I'm curious, how do people know when someone unfollows them? Is there a tool/site that tracks it? Or you just keep an eye on your profile?
-
Lazy Twitter: need a light, good looking, free Usenet reader for Mac. Any suggestions? I'm trying Postbox, but it's too clunky for my taste.
-
@davideisert @vkoser Thanks. LOL'ing at the http://qwitter.com site (first paragraph)
-
@davideisert Yes, they point you to it. But I agree, the muggn.com site is far more entertaining :-)
-
@jamie_oliver Wow. What was that meant to achieve? Besides the show, of course.
