Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-25
- Ooh, my copy of Metro 2033 arrived! Box is a little damaged, but for $20 delivered I'm not complaining. Thanks, Mighty Ape!
# - Ooh, new headset from Catch of the Day also arrived! Shipped Thursday, arrived today – I do believe that is a new record! #
- I gotta say, I'm new to this whole snack-sized "cheese in wax" thing, but by golly it's actually pretty tasty. #
- Even though the iPhone 4 can't be recommended by Consumer Reports, it stills scores higher than any other smartphone: http://bit.ly/aBDnu9 #
- Maybe I should get me one of those micro-SIM cutting devices before the iPhone 4 hits and start a business here in Tassie. #
- Urge to kill, rising… #
- I accidentally http://bit.ly/dcqBiH #
- Maybe it's time I looked into this Usenet business. #
- Who needs wget when you have curl? #
- I'm frequently getting @Instapaper to open on an article I've archived, in the archive, after killing it from the fast app switcher. Why?
# - Reading about GeoHot's disappearance from the iPhone jailbreaking scene makes me realise that people on the internet can be real douches. #
- I mean, all those twitter mentions, all those blog comments asking how to do tasks three seconds of Google would have resolved… Too much. #
- It's almost embarrassing I needed a how-to from Engadget to get me into Facebook lists, but that's okay. http://j.mp/bIC8Hh #
- Hey @adrianhewitt, stop sitting with your back to the walkway – how else am I supposed to tell if it's actually you? #
- Tonight's awesome thing on the internet: http://www.colondee.com #
- I just realised there's a button on PC keyboards that opens contextual menus. You know, in case your RIGHT CLICK wasn't working or something #
- My poor GMA950-powered MacBook struggles a little with both the internal display and a 1920×1200 external. I can haz new MacBook Pro? #
- I forgot how awesome The Ting Tings are until I decided to dig out some (relatively) old songs on my "faves" iTunes playlist #
- What the hell is macerated paper? http://post.ly/n9IC #
- What sucks is that all four of my units this semester are electives, and I can't even make up for last semester's failures. #
- Remedial potions? If only… I'm doing friggin remedial ICT Project Management instead. #
- I know it's been said before, but "mate" is probably the most simultaneously passive-aggressive word in the english language. #
- Also, can someone tell me why all of Hobart's streetlights are on at this hour??! WTF? http://twitpic.com/25dw0q #
- Forgot my house key, FFFFFUUUUU #
- So much for getting home early and playing a couple hours of Metro 2033 – today has just been written off, the only direction left is up! #
- Not one, not two, but THREE Blackmans Bay buses within the space of 10 minutes? A little consistency would be nice, Metro… #
- ARGH, people selling cheap gear on Mactalk is WAYYYY too tempting. I want a new MBP, but this is one is so damn cheap… #
- Looking at tomorrow's day: 11am start with a permanent lecture clash to start with? All in the life of this particular Uni student, I say… #
- Since we're all adults here, is it okay if I share this pants-ruining vid of Miranda Kerr? Definitely NSFW, best in HD
http://j.mp/9Y21Fb # - Now to sort the wheat from the chaff, the cream from the crop, the butter from the top – all in tomorrow morning's news
# - Running iOS 4.1 stock on my 3G, and already I'm missing my beloved rotation lock Interesting to see how much keyboard lag I experience… #
- Those with an iPhone 3G running the 4.1 beta: network data hosed for you too? Wifi works fine, mobile data is hosed even after a reset… #
- Things you missed hearing about because I couldn't tweet them: the two hot blonde twins that caught my bus this morning. Yeahhhh. #
- Those damn New Zealanders save the day again: used unlockit.co.nz to change my APN back to telstra.iph, mobile data now works on 4.1 again!! #
- I'm liking this trend of how all my apps store data in the cloud, but also on-device so accesses are fast and not dependent on network speed #
- I just ousted Josh D. as the mayor of UTas University Union Refectory on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/941UxG #
- So I'm yet to find out the differences between iOS 4.0, 4.0.1, and the 4.1 beta, but I suppose that's what happens when you DEPLOY like mad! #
- July 30th, hey? I can work with that – my micro-SIM cutter shipped this morning as well. #

- Watching @AshLaws trying to solve this puzzle in Resident Evil 5 is nothing short of hilarious, to say the least #

- WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO, GOT TO DO, GOT TO DO WITH IT? #
- So we've seen Telstra, 3Telstra… But has anyone of you seen Telstra Mobile before? :S http://twitpic.com/26a1gt #

- I'm glad Samus Aran made the list -> The hottest video game characters of all time. http://bit.ly/9iG5iz [TheVine] #
- Successfully submitted my short tax return for 2010 – and iPhone 4 is inbound. It's like all the dots are being connected all at once! #
- Wait wait wait, why hasn't someone made a Tumblr of Facebook's recommended page hilarity yet? (eg: http://twitpic.com/26f8vq ) #
- There's probably an excellent reason why all the "Twitter push" apps in the App Store are all rated two stars; they all suck. #
- Finally removed iTweetReply because it was crash-tacular, now using Boxcar. I'd make my own damn client if I had the iPhone prgrmming skills #
- To each their own, but sometimes I feel like I've been spoiled by polished apps, like the slide-to-action in Twitter for iPhone. #
- That being said, it's only really an issue when good apps go bad and I have to find replacements for them – damn you, developers. #
- Quite chilly this morning, I see. And yesterday was so good, too… #
- Selling my iPhone 3G and using the proceeds to repair a broken iPhone 2G (battery + glass replacement, bout $150 or so) – yay/nay? #
- Not bad for $20, hey? http://post.ly/nmRC #
- I see some smart Wikipedian has decided the different iPhone models on wiki now warrant their own separate pages instead of one page for all #
- Tried to replace my iPhone's fonts via SSH, and for a while there SpringBoard was locked into a reboot loop. Had to SSH the right fonts back #
- Hello from iOS 3.1.2 on my iPhone 2G! Why is this so much faster??! http://twitpic.com/26r9vd #
- Tonight, on Deal Extreme: iPhone 2G replacement glass + associated disassembly kit. #
- Uh-oh. Audioengine 2's are making a humming sound and it doesn't seem to be interference-related. More investigation required… #
- Why, there's only TEN MORE DAYS till the iPhone 4 is released in Australia! Like Big Kev, I'm excited!!! #
- Which means it's probably about time I ordered a PowerSupport anti-glare screen protector and a Bodyguardz for the back… #
- GOGO Alien Swarm download! It's a free Source-based game available on Steam, but Mac users miss out this time: http://bit.ly/aTiMdX #
- Today's iBooks 1.1.1 update actually makes it quite usable on an iPhone 3G – props to Apple. Page turns still a little laggy, but improved.. #
- Guy throws iPhone out of window 5 stories up, lands in pile of dog-excrement and survives the fall: http://bit.ly/ck3r1v #
- Looks like this iPhone 2G glass replacement will be harder than originally thought. Streetwise currently in the lead with their $150 quote.. #
- I am playing Crimsonland, you are not. #
- Alien Swarm is ridiculously good fun (when played with other humans)! Just when it was getting good, I get notified we're going out for tea. #
- Recent Articles update actually makes it the best Wikipedia-reader available for iPhone. Fast and completely useable is a good combination!! #
- Play a game, then post about your experience in said game on OCAU. That is the OCAU way. #
- Please don't use Comic Sans, we are a Fortune 500 company, not a lemonade stand: http://bit.ly/90jGfs #

Uh-huh. I'm sure it will. #
- I really shouldn't be surprised at the amount of physics in Games Physics, but I am. Haven't done physics for years #
- Argh, ActionScript, argh… #
- So apparently you guys with iPads should get this app called Flipboard, right. http://bit.ly/cShOql #
- Now THIS is why Google Reader sucks. And it's even from the same damn feed! D= http://twitpic.com/27ad31 #
- Maybe Android does sell more than the iPhone, but how many Android handsets are available compared to the iPhone? http://j.mp/aAZz4W #
- Going to Target to pick up an assortment of Nerf weaponry. If I had an armory, Target would be it. #
- You have got to be kidding me. Not even 11am and Target Hobart has completely sold out of Nerf gear? FFFFFUUUUU- right, iTunes cards. #
- On the current inappropriate last-name Apple fuss: sure, it's like Apple are out to get EVERYONE, rather than some overly-aggressive regex.. #
- Stand-in Games Physics lecturer is very casual, and, I suspect, slightly insane. Because that's what too much maths does to you!! XD #
- I want to play Wet, but it's not available on my choice of gaming platform (PC). Damn console exclusives! #
- Guys, it's okay! I'm alright; for a second there my iPhone's battery died and I thought I lost a limb, but it's recharging now. 8 days left! #
- I'm buying apps based on the premise that I can't run them satisfactorily on my current device, but I will be able to on a later device. Hm. #
- Okay, I'm as excited as anyone else is for the imminent launch of the iPhone 4, but this is getting ridiculous. 7 days and no word? #
- OH: version control covers a multitude of sins. #

- Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for all the stuff that an iPhone has contributed to my life; still, an upgrade is required. 6 days. #
- Replacement parts for iPhone 2G: ordered. Now, let's hope I don't crack the digitizer removing all that smashed glass… #
- Downgrading from iOS 4.1 beta to 4.0.1. Was getting some "Device is not eligible for requested build" error, but saving my SHSH blobs fixed. #
- Well, that was quick. Back on 4.1 after iTunes told me my backups weren't compatible with that firmware… #
- As much as I loathe my iPhone 3G's severe lack of RAM and mediocre camera, I also look forward to quadruple the RAM and 720p videos. 5 days. #
- Om nom nom KFC… but I can practically taste the obesity from here #
- Epic four hour nap was indeed, epic. #
- Nazitubbies. Wait, what? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE0YF5OzRlo #
