Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-06-07

  • First day of winter is COLD. Why am I not surprised? =/ #
  • Whoa, finally finished geoDefense on the iPhone after weeks of battling with Hard 12, gee I’m good XD #
  • One of these days I’ll have combined elements from so many WordPress themes that I’ll have finally found the perfect theme… One day. :) #
  • Farkin CSS, work as I tell you to, dammit! Either my wp-smiley’s have boxes, or my images DON’T have boxes. ARGH! #
  • Today’s lesson – look before you leap. If I say anymore on this topic I’m just gonna rant, so I’ll leave it at that. :) #
  • I let my .Mac account lapse, that’s why I was getting Serv:RequestTimeouts on AIM chats. Plus, my .Mac mail in Mail.app crapped itself. =/ #
  • That’s enough study for one night, methinks. My poor brain needs a break – and Brothers and Sisters provides that in spades! ^_^ #
  • My dreams seem to betray my true feelings for this girl. Unfortunately, it’d be totally inappropriate for me to make a move. =/ #
  • Firefox, why can’t I paste a file’s URL into your location field and hit Option+Enter to download it, just like I can in Safari? Fix pls. #
  • I CAN HAZ MOTIVATION FOR STUDEE?! KTHXBAI!1!one! #
  • is wondering if Lipstick Jungle is worth watching… Whilst I do enjoy the good chick flick, I tend to err on the side of caution. #fb #
  • FFS – forgot to submit my damned Web Management portfolio because I was too busy studying. FRAKKING HELL THAT IS BAD. ARGH! >_< #
  • ALMOST got sucked into a Commonwealth Bank “survey” – luckily I’m as good as I am. No HTTPS = no survey. Also, this one was VERY SNEAKY. :( #
  • I want a #promocode for Beats & Matches by @bjango http://is.gd/MIg6 #iphone #
  • On the study front, we’ve got an incoming wave of cryptography. Combined with asymmetric and symmetric encryption, this could get ugly… #
  • I need to get started studying, but all I’ve done so far is download the lecture audio and the powerpoint slides. This isn’t going well. #
  • Hugely impressed with Beats by @bjango – the UI alone is pure sex. Thanks for creating awesome apps, guys. :) #
  • Turns out that listening to lectures from home is as boring as listening to lectures in lectures – diff being I can do it sans pants @ home. #
  • I’ve got a Matches by @bjango #promocode #iphone available if anyone wants it – first one to DM wins and all that… MUST have US iTunes acc #
  • I’m one of three people on the internets to win a free premium (paid for) #WordPress theme from flashmint.com, but they all suck. FML. #
  • Every time I read “competing platforms”, “contemporaries” or “competitors” on any Palm Pre review, I think of the iPhone. Lulz. #
  • I’m gonna have to re-watch the MacWorld 2009 Keynote just to convince myself how awesome iPhone OS 3.0 will be compared to the Palm Pre. #
  • The chairs in Law Lecture Theater 1 are awesome, pity it’s so darn cold… #
  • The 1st fifty people to sign up to our tweet today get 5 FREE iTunes songs each! (Limit 5 songs per person – IP logged!)(via @MAC1Australia) #
  • In town, heading to the new DSE to check it out. #
  • DSE seem 2 have girls working for them. Yet 2 meet a girl who knows more about tech than I do, so they must just be eye-candy. @benzoenator? #
  • Left 4 Dead 2 Gameplay Video: http://bit.ly/DxHRT @urusaipoppu, @neg2led ZOMG!one!1! #
  • “A slow, but firm, shove of the chips. All in. They flip. Full house. Respectable. Decent. Impressive even. But not the highest hand.” #
  • RT @kevinrose: Google chrome for mac [middle secret link]: http://is.gd/OQgv #
  • One thing that’s been bothering me lately is how Instapaper adds an extra %0A to the end of bit.ly links. @instapaper? #
  • I’m ready to go to work, I just need pants. #
  • I told myself I’d un-jailbreak with OS 3.0, now, I’m not so sure; there’s no way I’d sacrifice 5 icons in the dock. Especially not Tweetie! #
  • Slamming a certain premium wordpress theme design site in an email. Fark I’m harsh; sadly, most of it is true… #
  • Epic email is epic – 1200 words epic. I only wish it wasn’t so darn negative – someone gonna have a fun time reading it, not. #
  • One thing that’s been bothering me lately is how @Tweetie adds an extra %0A to the end of bit.ly links when adding to Instapaper. @atebits? #
  • Smoky bacon chips, I kid you not. They’re actually not that bad, either ^_^ http://twitpic.com/6t3nw #
  • What’s the normal API limit for Twitter? And how do you find out legitimately? http://bit.ly/7tA1N will tell, but I need confirmation… #
  • I wonder how long it’ll take me to hit my API limit with 7 Twitter clients open at the same time. #
  • My API only went down to 94/100 with 7 clients open. :( #
  • Oops, I’ll have to scratch that last – just got “Bad Request, Rate Limit Exceeded” in Tweetie. Well, it doesn’t look like I have 20000 APIs. #
  • Oh poo. I had a HUGE sleep, and missed out on some vital studying time… Hopefully I’ll convince myself it was beneficial to my study. :P #
  • Just finished the whole DragonBall Z saga – that took far too long, IMO. AND THE ENDING WAS STUPID. :( #
  • Note to self: don’t look on OCAU’s trading forum unless I’m actually wanting to buy something… Also, I should be studying  #
  • It’s somewhat hard to believe that my main domain has an order of magnitude more traffic than my personal blog, which easily has more hits. #
  • Personal domain hits this month: 180, traffic: 110MB.
    Main domain hits this month: 49, traffic: 412MB.
    Er… what? #
  • New Facebook sucks for WordBook integration as well as importing of Notes from RSS feeds – those aren’t highlights, Facebook. =/ #fb #
  • People moving or changing locations is really bloody annoying when you have to update your resume. Now I’ve got TWO referees to find… :( #
