This Weeks Twitter Updates – 2009-08-09

  • Got an ubuntu VM set up in virtualbox. Then installed openfire XMPP server and google wave extension. Now to tweak, learn, and hack. #
  • just entered to win a Gorillamobile, it allows hands-free enjoyment of handheld devices: Enter at http:/twit2win.com – @twit2win #
  • Really dig this site http://www.union28.net/ Love pro-marriage messages. Couldn't think of a better sign to wear on my chest. #
  • http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/08/03/new.york.jobless.graduate/ OMG what a sense of entitlement we have developed in this country. #
  • Annual safety meeting – wake me when it is over. #
  • Just found a single VIM command to fix my whitespace issues on the XML files we use at work that are created by notepad/textpad. VIM FTW! #
  • I'm infatuated with the idea of the Real-Time web. Wondering what projects I could undertake to help enable that. #
  • http://is.gd/23Adx Great article on the downfall of MS Word. The suggestions could be beneficial for a lot of the documents I work on. #
  • It is hard to believe I'm just now hitting 8 hrs @ work. Breakfast w/ Pete was way worth it though, always a good time when we get together. #
  • It is exciting that every day my dog gets noticeably better at her tricks, and learns new ones every other day. #
  • I like Evan OK, but this fascination that 12yro girls have w/ him (or the American public for that matter) is unfathomable to me. #SYTYCD #
  • http://is.gd/24MNh Real-time web coming one step closer to fruition. Google is gonna drag us into web 3.0 whether we like it or not. #
  • http://is.gd/24Owp Windows 7 for the suck-less title! I still think OS X 10.6 is probably better, but that didn't stop me from pre-ordering. #
  • I wish more cool stuff was fair trade. Mental note: I need to do better at spreading the word on how important that is. #
  • Sad I can't buy a t-shirt from Union28.net. Any good links for fair trade t-shirt bulk distributors so I can make a suggestion? #
  • Very upset with some vendors that don't do well with approvals. Wishing they wouldn't have moved pins around w/o telling us. #
  • OMG how did Evan not get voted as last out of these four, easily the least awesome of the dancers. America, you make me sad sometimes. #
  • Yay! #SYTYCD my faith in the voting American public is restored. #
  • Doubt is an act in which the mind inspects its own ideals; wonder is an act in which the mind confronts the universe” – Abraham Heschel #
  • Already having a crazy morning. Construct a tarp shelter for the dog, find out a controller died, and everything left over from yesterday. #
  • Thank God for differential signaling. Saves my butt in electrically noisy situations like we have at work. #
  • Nothing subdues the fear of watching 40 kids for 5 hrs like only having to watch 22. We are having fun right now watching Finding Nemo. #
  • Forgot how much I liked Rage Against the Machine. Thanks Pandora for reminding me! #
  • Finished up re-wiring 11 connectors and 3 PLC controllers. Next to see why the solenoids aren't firing, followed by documentation cleanup. #
  • Just ran into another brick wall. The vendor changed our solenoid bank from sourcing signals to sinking w/o explicitly noting it. 🙁 #
  • Wow, huge storm blowing towards White Bear! Looks like I'm stuck here, I should move away from this giant window on the manufacturing floor. #
  • Was walking the manufacturing floor when the power went out, and the system went down hard. Makes a big clank noise. About pooed my pants. #
  • Think it is about time to pack it in for today. Wrap up the XML editing at home on my couch tomorrow. #
  • Had to miss a Jewish wedding today cuz Lauren is sick. I'm a sad man who was waiting for a legitimate reason to say "Mazel tov!" #
