Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-03-28

  • Just heard that David Suzuki is building a place on Mayne Island. Awesome. #
  • Referring to @sanbeji and @maymaym's book AdvancED CSS for a little help with a print style sheet. Thanks guys. #
  • My username in the UK national lottery is coggers2011. Just so you know. #
  • Sitting out on the deck, listening to the ocean. Nice way to end the day. #
  • I've been feeling a yearning to use that Masters of Education I finished off. Would love to get involved in some kind of Ed. Research… #
  • Always a good feeling when you do an update for a client, and manage to clean up some markup/CSS in the process. #
  • Apparently there's no 3G service on Mayne today. Rogers is always full of surprises. #
  • HOT! – Apple iPod classic 160 GB Black (7th Generation) – http://bit.ly/canaRS #
  • Interesting. That last tweet was not posted by me. Changing password now…. #

  • That was about the dumbest thing in the WPSC plugin. Loads a bunch of generated styles AFTER your CSS to override everything. #
  • Also folks, you don't need to specify 0px in CSS. "0" is "0" regardless of whether it's ems, pxs, pts, cms or whatever unit you're using. #
  • RT @Cocoia: Celebrating Razer's Mac support: Razer Mamba Giveaway. http://coc.io/cSiavS #
  • New BMO.com. Not a bad new design. Their JS is a little wonky though (not accepting a "return" to submit a form, clears it instead) #
  • Going to try out Beak by @flyosity (Mike, you need to update your twitter account on the Beak page) #
  • RT @mezzoblue: Yes, ChatRoulette piano improv is the best thing to happen today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32vpgNiAH60 #
  • Net 103… wow, I am generous in my terms </sarcasm> #
  • Just watched the Hurt Locker. It was meh. Good movie, just sort of boring. #
  • Just started using Droplr, an app for Mac. Check it out at http://droplr.com #
  • Just put out some bug fixes on Mailmanagr, and started using @postmarkapp in a few places too. #
  • At the beach with the kids — at David cove http://gowal.la/s/4Qh3 #
  • Building a dam http://gdzl.la/7LWLJ1 #
  • Can we all just agree to return phone calls and e-mails, rendering the term "follow-up" useless? #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-03-14

  • I *HATE* door-to-door people peddling religion. Seriously folks, get a hobby. #
  • Just got my copy of REWORK by @jasonfried and @dhh. Looking forward to reading this! #
  • Pro tip: some kind of vapor-producing cream in your hand (tiger balm, Vicks), cupped over an ear -> instant ear ache relief #
  • Just got the domain I had backordered. Yay me. #
  • A new contender for best REWORK photo: http://bit.ly/9eL7LJ /via @jasonfried. I felt that way for years. #
  • I'm declaring dish rack zero. #productivitypimp #
  • Why do some people write it as a MAC. It's not. It's a Mac, which is short for Macintosh. Not an acronym (Mighty Awesome Computer) #
  • Setting up an SMTP server at home has changed my life. So fast sending messages now. #
  • One of these years, I'll get to a SxSW. #
  • I've got a couple of domain names that would be perfect for an adult-oriented web site, but no intention of producing an adult web site. #
  • Fun fact: my phone has 160 times more storage than the hard drive in my first computer. #
  • Just had my first ever "walk-in" customer inquiry. Too bad it's Saturday morning, and I'm still in my PJs. #
  • I'm at an awkward point. I have a ton of work to do for a client, but also have a stack of unpaid invoices for them too. #

  • Guys, they've meDals. They're made of meTal. Canada is not leading in gold meTals… #
  • It's a pie kind of morning http://gdzl.la/7Grqah #
  • I think I've kicked inertia square in the nuts. New project now well underway. #
  • Now, if I could just figure out where the e-mail from this application is going…. #
  • OMG. The @postmarkapp API is a dream to work with. Actually providing meaningful error messages? Thank you! #
  • Okay, @postmarkapp is great. Definitely going to use it for @apphelpme and probably move @mailmanagr over too soon. #
  • Huh, was there just a little earthquake? #
  • RT @dburka: Silverorange has prerecorded some 'conversations' to take calls from telephone marketers. Hilarity ensues http://bit.ly/spamcall #
  • Just set up @stop's searchable tweet archive idea (http://bit.ly/b4qO3e). Maybe someday I'll customize it to be purdy like his. #
