  • @ShaySpot Pumpkin spiced tea is the one kind of pumpkin drink I actually really like. Also, you seem to have everything-gasms lots. Envy! ;) #
  • Was just followed by @VAtlanticAU so I must wonder aloud: Will companies partaking in marketization of @Twitter be participants or spammers? #
  • @mrsexsmith What do you need help with re: @WordPress? As you know, I’ve been developing/theming with it for years now, since v1.2 “Mingus.” #
  • @jdub You will certainly see me at future SLUGs if I’m able to stay in Australia (there are Visa concerns). WordCamp maybe not tho; no time. #
  • @A_Gael Company @Twitter accounts following other company accounts is ALMOST funny if it weren’t so much with the meta-marketing, I think. #
  • @mattymcg Haha! I did same thing at two different Dymock’s stores. I was all like, “Hey, do you have http://tinyurl.com/mywebbook in stock?” #
  • Sitting at home documenting file server security configs and consuming all the #WDE08 tweets is giving me flashbacks to #WDS08. Sigh + envy. #
  • @WebDirectEst08 Your @Twitter account’s Web URL on account’s bio is incorrect. It’s missing the final ‘s’ in http://east08.WebDirections.org #
  • @sanbeiji Yeah, but if you want your populist agenda to be crack-free for a long time you shouldn’t use SSH1 on your servers. (via @ioerror) #
  • @jdub I’m also having problems with @alexkingorg’s Twitter Tools @WordPress plugin now! Maybe it’s not just you, or not just that tool, or…? #
  • @jdub T’was your last tweet that made me aware of exactly that actually, ‘cuz right after my last tweet I went to check out his timeline! :D #
  • @BloodyLaughter The only thing ANYONE can do on http://CollarMe.com is waste time. That site is a load of shit so big it actually smells. :P #
  • @Neek_ Damnit. Was having enough trouble with the pain from laughing and smiling at @likeomg’s TWITTER. Now you show me her Tumblr? PAIN! :P #
  • @suziam THAT’S what’s wrong with the Web today—nothing works w/o JavaScript anymore. Sorta like how nothing works w/o a 3Gb/s uplink either! #
  • And on JavaScript: had great chat re @jQuery v. YUI JS at http://SyPy.org. Him: “jQuery=best JS shortcuts.” Me: “Only YUI JS feels like JS.” #
  • Meta-ness: 1 Talking about @Twitter on #Yammer & v.v. 2. Impressed by how well Screen Sharing.app handles nested VNC windows. Don’t ask why. #
  • @Neek_ That’s hardly an excuse. @likeomg may be a genius but so is Sun Tzu and I don’t spend all day reading @TheArtOfWar now do I? Er…fuck. #
  • @likeomg Crap. I never know what to say to a gal once she’s told me to “stop but not really.” That’s like “pee but stop before you’re done.” #
  • @factorypreset Not sure if I should smile or cringe at that. Also, are you drinking tonight? After this week I SO need to get trashed. TGIF! #
  • @BloodyLaughter Because it’s a guy’s mouth at crotch level or cuz it’s a guy’s mouth at crotch level in public? Glory, glory hallelujah? ;) #
  • @BloodyLaughter Ah, publicly displayed intimacy is indeed sexy. Also, I find it awesome we’re tweeting at each other while out together. #
  • @BloodyLaughter That is how I kept my interest in learning 日本語 up, so to speak. All the hot yaoi+manga+hentai wasn’t purely masturbatory. :D #
  • @MiriamP I’ve just made my third purchase of The Ethical Slut—a polyamorous person’s bible. That’s about as much as I know about humanities. #
  • DailyTech is reporting WPA is “partially cracked” http://icanhaz.com/crackedwpa If this is true it means WPA2 is no longer a “nice to have.” #

  • Tonight: http://SyPy.org hosts “Git v Hg v Bzr.” I’ll be demoing my admittedly limited Git-fu. Come watch as I make a fool of myself, free! #
  • Thinking and re-thinking phrasing and wording of an email. Diplomacy and tact is without question an art and a skill I wish I was better at. #
  • @juliejezebel Diplomacy interests me ’cause it’s the intersection of all sort of linguistic & communications disciplines and emotional ones. #
  • @grantyoung Where/what are you presenting? I’ll be talking about DSCM/VCS using Git tonight at http://SyPy.org. Swing by or come for drinks? #
  • @lachlanhardy Cool, I’m totally following @RaphaelJS as well. @DmitryBaranovsk did you set that up or is http://raphaeljs.com run by others? #
  • @halans Hi+thx! ♥ quote in your sig “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used
    when we created them.” – A. Einstein #
  • @JohnBaku Browsers are multiplying like bunnies! See http://Cruzapp.com for yet another. Separation of concerns is more important than ever! #
  • Trying to wash away thoughts of the work day in preparation for my part of the http://SyPy.org talk tonight. Come along, it’s free fun! #
  • Totally screwed up my git demo by using new user account. That’s what I get for not practicing before a live demo. Bah! Want beer now! #
  • Heading home after a fantastic night out chatting with other http://SyPy.org peeps. Learned about bzr’s push by SFTP feature & tons more! #
  • @raquelita Catching up on news feeds tonight I just saw your XML/XHTML cupcakes and I think they are AMAZING! http://icanhaz.com/xmlcupcakes #

  • @urbantantrika No. It is a product that helps companies do time-sheeting, billing, etc., and I can’t find a positive review for it anywhere. #
  • @lanej0 I don’t value job security, but life security. See @PenelopeTrunk http://tinyurl.com/3dznst “make life more stable with job changes” #
  • @aduthie My post seemed to kick Workamajig’s ass into gear to fix the problem. I’m a bit shocked boss prefers that sort of thing not happen! #
  • @MajaMajaMaja Maybe boss thinks Workamajig dislikes me making problems in their product public? Seems neither he nor they gets the Internet. #
  • @Ericboge Agreed. If Workamajig wants my post to be removed then they can email me directly themselves—AFAIK I’m not obligated to take down. #
  • @lanej0 Workamajig is a vendor, we’re the client. We pay them to use their product. Coworker emailed about issue I blogged prior to my post. #
  • @aduthie My coworker said she already sent a few emails re that issue & got only we’re-looking-into-it replies until I blogged it of course. #
  • @grantyoung No issues w/ odd image sizes as long as there is consistency across the site and a standard set of sizes w/ sane ratios is used. #
  • @katebornstein Fox News (really Faux News) is full of right-wing evangelical hate-spewing bastards that are jealous of liberals’s great sex. #
  • My election prediction: Some fucker will have caused major voting machine errors and will make http://xkcd.com/463/ a reality. Wait and see. #
  • RT @jdub: “great @firstdogonmoon cartoon about the state of Fox News analysis tonight: http://tinyurl.com/6ytdd5” That’s SO MUCH LOLZ & WIN! #
  • Coworkers talking election all day. I get its importance but I’M HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD & STILL CAN’T GET AWAY FROM U.S. FUCKING POLITICS! #
  • @ryancross We haven’t had a TV for over 4yrs. Also good for you for voting in a battleground state. I’m registered in NYC, not battleground. #
  • @Weebeasty CNN isn’t working for me either. It keeps telling me that it’s “not available in my service area.” Perhaps because I’m in Sydney? #
  • @ioerror World’s reaction to this proves just how FUCKED UP America is that it can impose its FUCKEDUPNESS on much of the rest of the world. #
  • Retweet @sanbeiji: “@stefsull you did so much. Big old cheers in your direction.” @stefsull made cold calls for #Obama & deserves lots of ♥. #
  • Overheard Aussie coworker’s remark after #Obama’s speech: “Look at that. The White House is being refactored.” Some terrible legacy, there…. #
  • Retweet @jcroft: “CNN guy comparing Barack Obama’s leadership style to the Open Source Software movement. Nice.” & “GNU/President. LOVE IT!” #
  • Out at the Rocks for a pancake dinner. As everyone around me celebrates I can’t help but feel frustrated with far more personal issues. #
  • Yay—coming back to USA w/in 4 years isn’t such a bad thought. Nay—no reason to masturbate ourselves w/congrats ’til change ACTUALLY HAPPENS. #

  • Hadn’t time to pick out clothes today so am wearing same thing as yesterday. Apologies to my desk mates. Help me fight for telecommuting. #
  • @ProblmLikeMaria Actually, it’s better that you two are of different religions. It makes it more likely that at least one of you is “right.” #
  • Boston Globe: “Naps make you smarter, healthier, safer.” http://icanhaz.com/naptime Finally proof I’m not lazy, just committed to my health. #
  • Everyone else is watching Melbourne Cup, @factorypreset & I sit in studio “conducting un-Australian activities.” S’ok. I’m not a real Ozzie. #
  • @urbantantrika I took the opportunity to do my own thing while everyone was off watching horse races. I prepped my talk for http://SyPy.org. #
  • Oops, sorry all. Those last few tweets re “new” blog posts are actually old blog posts that I’ve added new tags to http://tinyurl.com/5sawea #
  • “When everyone’s super no one will be.” Pixar’s wisdom applies to everything, including prioritizing software requirements. http://tr.im/sb1 #
  • I SO relate to Ranat’s last post abt exploring BDSM community: “I feel like I’ve met the same person, over and over again.” http://tr.im/sb5 #
  • RT @karlw3c: “I often warn people about the fragility of their data – Bye AOL pictures http://pictures.aol.com/ Keep your data close to you” #
  • Poll: My boss requested that I delete a post citing security concerns re: http://Workamajig.com. Should I? Post is http://tinyurl.com/5ludy7 #
  • @ryancross I suspect Workamajig.com is pressuring my boss to pressure me. This feels like even more fail cuz that’s not a solution for them. #
  • @ryancross My instinct, too. Makes me sad for him to see my boss taking an opposing stand tho. Will wait for other tweets before responding. #
  • Queuing up posts on HTML/CSS/Semantic Web. Bedtime now but still anxious for replies to my poll http://tinyurl.com/5rq9ck It’s upsetting. :\ #
  • Flash XML Lang FXG1 “follows much of the SVG spec” but “include core differences” re filters+transforms+text http://c8l.ca/4v (via @karlw3c) #
  • Help if you can RT @katebornstein: “Searching for compassionate doc/psychiatrist, Pittsburgh. BiPolar teen friend needs Rx renewed or owch.” #
  • Does no one have opinions re boss asking to remove personal blog post or is election noise drowning me out today? http://tinyurl.com/5rq9ck #

  • Former coworker sent me a screengrab of his project where he is using my iWork ’08 Numbers.app Scrum burn down chart http://tr.im/sbdc Cool. #
  • @juliejezebel I don’t talk about finances much at all yet in the past couple of days several stock-trading folks have started following me…. #
  • @suziam Damnit, now I’ll be staring at http://Cursebird.com for hours. However, in deference to your awesome find: fuck fuck fuck fuck. ⚧ :D #
  • Unrelated: How cool is it that there’re several atypical http://tr.im/gendersymbols officially in Unicode? Very! I used U+26A7 last tweet: ⚧ #
  • @ProblmLikeMaria I think it’s interesting that looking at the titles of “fitness DVDs” & porno DVDs alone it’s hard to tell which is which. #
  • @seraglioletters The Internet is just a glorified copying machine. Copyright was broken well before personal e-publishing (fancy for “blog”) #
  • @seraglioletters I very much heart Lessig. Sad that public domain is less free than Copyleft. More heart: http://icanhaz.com/legalcreativity #
  • Ho.Ly.Shit RT @Lifehacker: “Brain-only Computer Interfaces Becoming Reality http://tinyurl.com/66ya9t ” Imagine w/ http://tinyurl.com/66qowf #
  • Reason no. 9,204 why I’m not like “normal” people & I like it: I start feeling physically ill when I feel like I’ve wasted hours of my life. #
  • Aching+trying to sleep but memories both good & bad intruding into my head. One of watching Kill Bill Vol. 2 buried alive scene stirred me…. #
  • That was a very fitful night. I can’t even remember all the times I woke up. And my back hurts. And my shoulders hurt. And my nose is cold…. #
  • This Thursday I’ll be talking about http://Git.or.cz @ http://SyPy.org as part of its DSCM shootout “Git v Hg v Bzr” RSVP @ http://tr.im/rwu #

  • @thepete That’s why you’re following us, eh? ;) I don’t #NaNoWrimo cause I don’t do fiction that isn’t pr0n+I’ve got a second book to write. #
  • @thepete 私は日本語を勉強です。話しかけるで共同ですか? Ok I THINK that’s correct, but apologies if I’ve just said something really mean. My 日本語 still sucks, too…. #
  • @lfamous I think what you’re looking for is http://icanhaz.com/identityguidelines instead. Also, hi, and I’m glad you found that amusing. :) #
  • I tried and failed, again, to do any writing while outside today. I’m very afraid I’ll fail to deliver this book cuz of this depression. #
  • @thepete I never had a speaking partner so I can write Japanese relatively well but rely on the 漢字 for comprehension=only ひらがな=no understand #
  • Fuck it. Doing identical things & expecting different results each time is the definition of insanity. I may not be sane but I am not crazy. #
  • IOW: “Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated.” – Sun Tzu #
  • @mvizdos Yeah, uh, that plan didn’t work out so well for me the last times. But I do appreciate the sentiments. (& I’ll eventually be fine.) #

  • @bitprophet Don’t worry, you’re not missing anything. The Greenwich Village Halloween parade ALWAYS sucks, whether you can see it or not. :P #
  • @factorypreset So much win for you on that statement. My morning has been: “Ok, I’ll figure out what to do after my shower after my shower.” #
  • Halloween slogans 1 As if girls need an excuse to be sex objects. 2 Where guys think mocking femininity by crossdressing will get them laid. #
  • @bitprophet That, I suppose, is cool. If you liked that, however, follow @DarthVader, who sometimes has predictable yet funny things to say. #
  • @MajaMajaMaja Even after 6yrs I still can’t stop from laughing my ass off when kinky people take the “Who’s your daddy?” question seriously. #
  • I’m out & about but it’s becoming plain to see that I’ve gotten depressed. Nothing feels exciting today, and I’ve little desire to move. #
  • Great toilet graffiti at Fair Trade café 1 “Don’t sweat the petty things. Pet the sweaty things.” 2 “Free your mind. Start (s)tripping.” #
  • Note to self: do role play where I’m a cute video store clerk w/ tramp stamp tattoo, since @BloodyLaughter can’t stop checking ours out. #
  • @BloodyLaughter I was staring too. Tell me you wouldn’t like it if we played video-clerk-boy-gets-seduced/kidnapped-by-charming-customer! ;) #
