@rodet What sort of support would you expect? You can run Linux on a Mac, either directly or in a VM.
-
@rodet Ah, I see now. That would be nice.
-
@jamie_oliver I think most of the world observes May 1st (except for the U.S.): Labour Day, May Day, etc.
-
Working on May 1st. Accumulating compensation days for later :-)
-
@mroesch I've heard good things of http://bit.ly/GJvO8 and http://bit.ly/SShno but I haven't use either of them
-
Post-lunch slump after eating one spinach-and-shrimp pizza and half pineapple-and-ham (both homemade). Everyone's asleep but me and the baby
-
Weather is crazy. Yesterday was beautiful, now rain. Walking to work.
-
My 3yo just told me 'i love you' on her own, out of the blue. Heart melting. #fb
-
git bisect is awesomely useful
-
My new pet project. Still in progress, but getting there: http://github.com/zzamboni/things2thl/
-
I still can't figure out why the highlighted entry moves in @tweetie. But I absolutely love how easy it is to explore conversations & users
-
@atebits_support Thanks!
-
@atebits_support I've had colleagues with color blindness who use weird combinations that help them see better. That's one legitimate use.
-
Two Syrinx features I wish Tweetie had: bookmark http://bit.ly/hC4mt (instead of individual read/unread status) & pause http://bit.ly/11Zivw
-
Done with initial scheduling for an internal conference, and some other organizational nastiness. Going home.
-
Just today I discovered @tweetie's saved searches. Very nicely done, like the rest of it! It even tells me when there are new results.
-
@vkoser I agree. Tweetie's GUI is really awesome. Very polished, and very usable.
-
@tweetie makes it so fun that I'm spending more time than ever before in Twitter. And I used to be so productive...
-
@tweetie Are you planning support for direct display of images from other sources? (posterous, flickr, quicksnapper, skitch come to mind)
-
@atebits_support Is there a way to search for something just in my timeline in Tweetie/Mac? A filter field would be nice.
-
Very nice and maybe even useful: RT @geekgrrl: Just introduced my mom to the beauty that is Fake Name Generator: http://bit.ly/UKpEb
-
went swimming before work today for the first time after a long hiatus. Feeling invigorated #fb
-
@DunKology Count yourself lucky - some of us have young kids who wake up at 6AM every day, including weekends :-)
-
@atebits_support That's why I keep using tinyurl. Oldie but goodie, and always up.
-
Just joined a twibe. Visit http://twibes.com/securitytwits to join
-
@atebits_support As of late, I'm often getting "Error..." instead of "Follow/unfollow" in the pop-down menu in user profiles.
-
@tweetie Is there a kbd shortcut for "Reply" in the DM view? Cmd-R doesn't work, and Cmd-Shift-N doesn't automatically use the current user
-
I just went looking in delicious for something I had saved in Greader shared items. I should feed one onto the other somehow.
-
@mpb Haven't looked much at it yet, so I don't know.
-
@codinghorror BTW, I just saw "Deja Vu" the other day, which has Val Kilmer in it. He's truly unrecognizable from his Top Gun days.
-
RT @zambonini: Ever wanted to see The Queen and Abraham Lincoln 'get it on'? [...] Russian 'Money makes money' ad http://bit.ly/nUXks
-
@rodet How do you know? I would assume there are plenty of students on Twitter.
-
@simX I think it's the @ that throws it off - without it Mail expands the nickname correctly.
-
Things 1.1.1 looks the same to me, but under the covers likes... Applescript! http://post.ly/UIH
-
@tweetie Is there a way to set posterous username? It automatically created a new posterous blog when I posted a picture.
-
@tweetie Also, it'd be nice if it posted the tweet's text to posterous together with the image.
-
@yasir_ibrahim Twitter does automatic URL shortening: http://tinyurl.com/an4mfq (see "Does Twitter allow html in web updates?")
-
Very nice - I used "Balloon without logo" RT @mattgemmell: Nice replacement @tweetie icons: http://tinyurl.com/dnzz9u (via @jsamuelson).
-
RT @spiralstairs: The best free iPhone app: http://bit.ly/mHyoh
-
QOTD: "If you're like me, you have a $300 iPhone but are no longer able to afford 99c applications" - Ze Frank http://bit.ly/mHyoh
-
RT @brianshaler: Swine Flu media hype alert: Hans Rosling crunched some numbers - http://is.gd/yN2k 8,000+ articles/death. TB had 0.1/death
-
@tswicegood You mean in other languages, right? You don't need the 'return' in ruby.
-
@Shrdlu Celtic black metal - any recommendations?
-
Trying to finish my things2thl script. It has proven a most useful ruby- and Applescript-learning exercise.
-
Lifts Off!: http://bit.ly/qbK1
-
@Shrdlu Listening now to "wooden pints"
-
I hadn't noticed that video.google.com now serves YouTube videos. The searchinterface is nicer than the native YouTube one imo.
-
@Shrdlu Would that be "With trees"? Can't find "into the trees" http://bit.ly/19bGQi
-
@Shrdlu I like them btw - thanks for the recommendation
-
I have to say, Applescript support in Things 1.1.1 is pretty nice. I'm still giving THL a good try, but that alone might keep me with Things
-
@vkoser Well, THL already uses SQlite3 for the backend, so from there to MySQL should be easier than from the Things XML file :-)
-
things2thl is coming along nicely. Now I need some sleep http://bit.ly/WX4Y0
-
Started day early to go swimming- pool was too full. I'll try again at lunchtime. In the meantime, it's nice to get to the office this early
-
@MaxHeadroom Very cool - that will be very useful, thanks.
-
Having to fix a bug in a C++ program I didn't write. Argh, haven't written C++ in ages.
-
@vkoser both
-
Oh boy - heavy rain + hail. Hopefully it will stop before I have to bike home...
-
@sachac I like LibraryThing better than Goodreads. You can modify/fix your own records, and has many more search databases.
-
@sachac That's true. I decided on LT because (AFAICT) you can only add to Goodreads things that exist in Amazon.
-
@studpete I like THL very much. I'm about to release a script to migrate from Things to THL, if you are interested.
-
@studpete It does, plus it has excellente keyboard control and other nice features. My script uses AS on both Things & THL for the migration
-
@studpete I definitely will, as soon as it's ready :-)
-
@thehitlist Will do.
-
"receiving one-sided fragments via replies sent to folks you don't follow in your timeline is undesirable" Not to me - it's very desirable
-
@DrScofield That's how it was! They removed the preference and made it fixed.
-
@angstmann I've been working on a script to migrate. Should be ready soon.
-
@foamcow I'm working on a script to migrate from Things to THL - should be ready soon, in case you are interested.
-
@fraserspeirs Bugs in Writing (Lyn Dupré) has good sections on Quotations, Citations and References http://bit.ly/2mmVo3
-
@andypotion Ooooh, how had I never discovered rooSwitch before. It's really nice, thanks for the pointer.
-
@pilky I wonder if _@zzamboni will show up in my mentions tab. Maybe it needs the spaces around it?
-
@DrScofield Join the rage: http://bit.ly/Cnxbw
-
10.5.7 update - there we go
-
@pilky And of course, now I can't use Tweetie's conversation view on your Tweets (at least I see them). Hope twitter would just change back.
-
Back from 10.5.7 reboot - so far so good
-
Safari update requires _another_ reboot? Oh well, it's time for lunch anyway.
-
Wondering how many possibly-interesting half-conversations I'm missing #fixreplies
-
RT @Orli Do you agree with Twitter's new @replies policy? http://twtpoll.com/m7690o #twtpoll
-
RT @ScottHepburn: OMG! I'm in a bar and can only hear convs between people I know! It's so quiet! This place is lame…I'm leaving #fixreplies

RT @BadAstronomer: RT @astropixie: you can watch atlantis capture hubble today on NASA TV at 12:55 EDT http://bit.ly/51WhK
-
@bricooke @RooSwitch is very useful for development - I only discovered it today and I'm in love with it already.
-
@vkoser Good post. BTW, I see three "Greased Lightbox" spinning thingies at the bottom of your post. #fixreplies
-
Oops, my machine just KP'd. Sorry @vkoser
-
Lazy twitter: in Ruby, how do I get a ref to a method? e.g. def foo() {'hi'}, how do I assign a ref to foo to var x, so I can do, x.call()
-
. @jonno @charlesarthur not really, because then you lose "in reply to", which breaks e.g. Tweetie's conversation view.
-
@jonno Really really. I see your tweet in my mentions, but if I double-click it, there's no record of my previous tweet to you.
-
My things2thl script is not yet complete, but for brave souls who want to give it a try: http://bit.ly/XkvaN #things #thehitlist #gtd
-
@simX Do share!
-
@tveskov It has worked for me when I have needed it, both for full restores and for individual files.
-
@lmacvittie What is "so early" for you? My two little ones get up at 6AM sharp every day :-(
-
Wow, it's incredibly hard to find a kernel src rpm for RHEL 5
-
@twinfluence Out of the blue, I got a tweet from you. Do you analyze random users and send them their numbers?
-
LOL @woot's welcome msg "... you don't like it, take it to eBay or pawn it off on one of your so-called friends. We don't want it, either"
-
RT @iSpeech: When Google falls, it falls hard http://ow.ly/72AW
-
Agree with @etherealmind: "hi there people like me". Check out my flock of followers at http://twittersheep.com/?zzamboni
-
Always freaks me out for a split-second when my wireless mouse battery dies - I feel my machine suddenly died. Off to get more batteries.
-
@domdingelom I'm a big Quicksilver fan - sadly mouse is still needed for many things.

Ah, coffee, fresh from my french press. Now I can continue the day.
-
Upgrading a fresh RHEL5.2 install: Install 10 Package(s); Update 392 Package(s). Long wait ahead.
-
@Shrdlu Having fun today, are we? :-)
-
Dear code of mine. Why o why do you stop working at 4PM on a Friday?
-
@vkoser Happily, I just discovered it wasn't broken - it was a system change that made it stop working. Happy again, still before 5PM :-)
-
OK, enough damage done for the week. Happy weekend everyone.
-
I think Twitter has handled quite gracefully "The Replies Kerfuffle" http://bit.ly/vk3QC #fixreplies
-
Kids asleep, finally a moment of calm.
-
First usable version of things2thl: http://bit.ly/XkvaN Still very slow, but mostly feature-complete. #things #thehitlist #gtd
-
#bajjiliontimes @rands A movie I could watch a bajillion times is: The Day of the Jackal (1973 version)
-
github is awesome. Lots of functionality, very easy to use.
-
Trying out Twitter in Adium. Seems nice, but in terms of looks nothing can beat Tweetie yet.
-
BTW, Twitter support (also IRC) only exists in the Adium 1.4beta: http://beta.adium.im/
-
@Shrdlu LOL How true.
-
@Shrdlu Also very true: http://www.arcamax.com/newspics/8/876/87673.gif
-
@Shrdlu Wow, that whole comic seems to narrate my life. Sort of like PHD back when I was in grad school.
-
@SifuMoraga Nervous? Probably you more than him :-)

@jephjacques Connect the borked computer in Firewire Target mode to the other one, run the combo updater there, with brkn machine as target

.@zambonini If you put http://nerdboyfriend.com/ and http://www.magnificentbastard.com/ together, you get a matter/anti-matter reaction

Damn - I just got my twitterfone invite, and today I forgot my cell phone at home :-(
-
LOL RT @Shrdlu: OMG, SO TRUE: http://www.arcamax.com/newspics/8/878/87864.gif -- tired of having an audience when I take a dump.
-
I've been browsing @commandlinefu for 10 minutes, and I've already learned a couple of new tricks.
-
@thehitlist @andypotion It's out now: http://zzamboni.github.com/things2thl/

things2thl 0.5.0, now with time-tag support, many other improvements: http://zzamboni.github.com/things2thl/ #things #thehitlist #gtd

@mattgemmell Hm... coffee. Just poured myself a new one, thanks for the reminder.

@jaredmcfarland Just in case you find it useful for the switch: http://zzamboni.github.com/things2thl/
-
@M3nt0r In case you find it useful for the switch: http://zzamboni.github.com/things2thl/
-
@kaelig You might find this useful for the switch: http://zzamboni.github.com/things2thl/

@Shrdlu You reminded me of http://bit.ly/e7cOF (see 13 & 14)
-
@kaelig Oops. Well, it was only released yesterday :-)

@jeffrkilpatrick Thinking Rock supports them: http://www.trgtd.com.au/
-
@andypotion Stop teasing us - looking forward to what the "massive changes" may bring.
-
I've been sleeping too little with all the tinkering with things2thl. Bed time now.

Spreading the word (please RT) Why Oprah must not support McCarthy http://bit.ly/9AhGS

Just tried the Pzizz "quick energizer" free sample. It was actually a very good 15-minute nap.

Timeout Twitterfone. I just got my invite and signed out. http://tinyurl.com/qlv4as

@zzamboni Seems voice recognition is not all that good. Timeout = "Trying out", "signed out" = "signed up"

This is indeed how it works. PHD Comics: Science News Cycle: http://bit.ly/8OSZC
-
@vkoser Hopefully closed, then burnt to the ground. That stuff is awful.
-
Twitter rule 28: If you ask me to RT to boost your follower numbers, I'm unfollowing you. Why do you care so much about number of followers?
-
@joe_carney no. No. NO.
-
@studpete Have you added it to commandlinefu.com?
-
@joe_carney I find them incredibly annoying - almost cause for immediate unfollowing.
-
@studpete Thanks - I just released a new version, which now converts notes properly as well :-)
-
Cute idea, well done RT @zambonini: RunPee may be genius- specific points in films when it's best for you to go to the loo http://runpee.com

Watching another awesome NASA video. The separation (~ 2:21) is breathtaking. YouTube - STS 125 SRB Camera Replay: http://bit.ly/9a5oz #fb

Cool-I watched it as a kid,have the DVDs RT @Zyote: sweet.why didn't anyone tell me ABC is remaking 'V'! looks awesome- http://bit.ly/dWIgK

It's full of xkcd, as expected. RT @studpete: 25 Best Programmer Comics http://tr.im/lZgY
-
The Hit List learns dynamically which keys you use to select each item in the file (f) and go-to (g) operations. Very sweet #thehitlist #gtd
-
I did my final, production-environment migration of Things to The Hit List, using things2thl #things #gtd #thehitlist
-
Cmd I used: things2thl -B --areas-top-level=Areas --projects-top-level=Projects --time-tags --context-tags 'home|office|errand|waiting for'
-
@Darknater What caused it? What happens when you try to boot from the DVD?
-
@Darknater I was going to suggest that. You could try installing the latest combo updater, that usually fixes things.
-
@Darknater Are you sure it's trying to boot from the DVD? (i.e. are you holding down the C key while booting?)
-
@biomac101 re: area -> context. Nice suggestion. I'll implement it. I don't understand your second q. What would migrate multiple times?
-
@kamal In case you need to migrate some data: http://zzamboni.github.com/things2thl/

@mephisto_bbs I see now. Yes, it will create multiple entries. Interesting possi... Read More: http://is.gd/CiwI

I just used @twitlonger for the first time - tweetie makes it very easy.
-
@mephisto_bbs Glad you've found it useful. Thanks for the feedback and the ideas.
-
Thinking I should start using LittleSnapper. Looks very nice and I got the license with the MacHeist bundle.
-
Doing my first weekly review since I switched to The Hit List. Putting smart folders, nested tasks and keyboard shortcuts to good use.

Whoa. Thunderstorm. Hopefully gone before I have to bike home.

Shuttle landing: "weather is real moist, unstable, and officially "no go" due to thunderstorms" Next attempt tomorrow http://bit.ly/auXAx

@Darknater Will certainly do. Also, the Air and Space museum is one of my all-time favorite museums.
-
The animated banner at http://runpee.com/ is hilarious.
-
@atxPOWERgeek Where are you going now?
-
Views in @thehitlist remember their state (position, sort-by status, etc.). Excellent. They don't remember filter selection though.
-
I want to continue coding, but I am so tired... I think I must sleep now.
-
Just came back from the newly-opened Zurich Apple Store. Awesome to finally have one nearby. So much stuff, so little money :-)

@Documentally I don't. My posterous autoposts to my blog, which autotweets on new posts.

I'm moving all my opensource projects to @github. It was good while it lasted, @sourceforge and berlios.de.

Having to emergency-reassign reviews because one reviewer did not submit any of his assigned reviews, even after a reminder. Grrrrrr.
