Twitter Updates for 2009-04-05

  • @jesslaw I've never been. Honestly? I never got the appeal, but, I know I'm in the minority on that one. :) in reply to jesslaw #
  • @usgeeks They're actually doing a pretty decent job with Season 8. The story is coming to an obvious conclusion. in reply to usgeeks #
  • @studionashvegas For when you want to know if a site it down for just you or everyone: http://bit.ly/FM8Z8 in reply to studionashvegas #
  • @leolaporte Add me 2 the list of people that thinks this week's TWiT was best in ages. Tops KRose. In studio. Great chemistry. Becky netime. #
  • @chaseathompson Do you think Conficker, if it does something nasty like, DDOS the internet, might be as infamous as the Da Vinci virus was? in reply to chaseathompson #
  • @chaseathompson Ok, so maybe DDOSing the internet was a little exaggerated..... in reply to chaseathompson #
  • @waaytv So, why are your updates protected? #
  • @blakebritton But have you tried IE 8 for Vista? I hear it brings CPUs to 100% :-) (Discloser: I'm running IE8 on Win7, and it's fine.) in reply to blakebritton #
  • @chaseathompson Best: The author freaks and won't U/L the payload. Worst: That much computing power becomes sentient and the Matrix is born. in reply to chaseathompson #
  • @jeremyflint As horrible as their website is, and as sleezy as their ads are, GoDaddy's phone support I've always found outstanding. You? in reply to jeremyflint #
  • @LisaMKnight You can add the Twitter app (but not Selective Twitter Status, etc) to your FB Pages, but it only "understands" one username. in reply to LisaMKnight #
  • I'm just now discovering the #Redcross CPR-PRO (FPR) change to 2 years for everyone but Lifeguards. I favor 1 yr for everything: LG/FA/CPR. #
  • RedCross file from previous years: http://bit.ly/XIhAK (saying 1 year is better). 2009 RedCross file announcing change: http://bit.ly/qr4ss #
  • @ikepigott I've had nurses come for ARC CPR recert from AHA (2 years), and they really struggled with basic things - like opening airways. in reply to ikepigott #
  • @ikepigott I'm an LGI, however, so mainly I deal with lifeguards. I look forward to ARC making LG/FA become a 1 yr cert. IMHO, they need it. in reply to ikepigott #
  • Hey #Shoals - My church is learning how to use Twitter and Facebook. You can add them @GraceLifeShoals and http://bit.ly/TVg1V [Facebook] #
  • @mario Love Twitterfeed. 1 issue - RSS where the username is only in the *-author field. Could we get "prefix w/ 'RT@user' via RSS-author "? #
  • Conficker thots: Best Case- author freaks, doesn't U/L the payload. Worst- all that computing power becomes sentient and the Matrix is born. #
  • @GenoBrownAla Nah. Using Twitter makes you a tweeter. Twit's are people who listen to Leo Laporte's podcasts. (He TMed TWiT before Twitter.) in reply to GenoBrownAla #
  • @abstractrandom Thanks for plug in the @ShoalsArea bio. All I did was tweak some PHP code. It was completely your idea. #
  • Hi #Shoals. You'll want 2 follow @ShoalsArea if u want 2 know what's going on locally. Just add #shoals to ur LOCAL tweets 2 c urself there. #
  • Interested in a #Shoals area Unconference (AKA BarCamp) for May 16? Join http://bit.ly/bWBtN and follow @ShoalsUC. #ShoalsUC #
  • @ShoalsArea uses twitterfeed, which is limited to the last 5 posts, collected every 30 minutes. #Shoals #
  • Google's April Fools Prank http://bit.ly/MsryY - somewhat epic, brought my attn to something: Firefox supports the Marquee and Blink tags? #
  • @anothertomorrow Well, I wasn't really commenting on the prank as much as I was the realization that Firefox supports old, well hated, tags. in reply to anothertomorrow #
  • @anothertomorrow 'Net April fools pranks have lost their novelty 2 me. Years ago it was funny b/c their epicness was new. Now it's expected. in reply to anothertomorrow #
  • @anothertomorrow And I'm glad to see you back. in reply to anothertomorrow #
  • @aldotcom I believe ur article has an error. Logically it would follow that Helms said that an *earlier* start date is needed. U have later. in reply to aldotcom #
  • @jeremyflint If you go to its Advanced options in the Settings app, you can change Tweetie to use the RT nomenclature, rather than via. in reply to jeremyflint #
  • It actually surprises me how well http://saveie6.com renders in IE6: http://twitpic.com/2ooc9 - it does cut off the circle graphic, however. #
  • @cmhaygood The @ sign was used early on 2 address someone. Now it's official, and Twitter "calls out" tweets with @yourname in them for you. in reply to cmhaygood #
  • @mario Thanks 4 ur reply. 4 now I'm simply pointing twitterfeed at custom XML that I'm creating from twitter search using modified rss2html. in reply to mario #
  • I just found out that #UNA is still teaching HyperStudio in Educational Technology. Typical. 15+ years behind in technology. #
  • @waaytv thanks 4 the weather closings- that's worth following. But teasers? Why not say the gymnast's name-be truthful "we feature tonight." in reply to waaytv #
  • @waaytv We're tired of marketing to
    dumb masses. If u have a rep 4 content that is worthwhile, that should be ur hook- not "find out who." in reply to waaytv #
  • #Florida: Woman calls 911 because she's locked *in* her call. Dispatcher instructs her how to get out. http://bit.ly/2GsO6I [mp3] #
  • @north_alabama What is that on 3 abt "Evry attempt will b made.. 2 facilitate CLOSING OF THE CAMPUS.. 2 ensure safety"? All others R closed. in reply to north_alabama #
  • @bpluswils The limit of 140 chars preventing me from saying that "typical" applied only 2 the #UNA Edu dept, which IMHO over-esteems itself. in reply to bpluswils #
  • @north_alabama Thx! I'm glad u're listening/responding. Last yr NWS stayed open as tornado passed just North - staff thought Prez was moron. in reply to north_alabama #
  • Looking over my tweets of the day, I probably sound vitriolic and hyper-critical. I'm really not. I promise. Arrogant and conceited? Maybe. #
  • @BlissBowman I've found WoodAve lights 2 be timed 2 abt 40MPH. Coming back from MS by Veterans, Seminary, Hicks, Wood I might get all green. in reply to BlissBowman #
  • RT @MalloryMartin: @tollie Maybe? ;-) [In reply 2: I prob snd vitriolic / hyper-critical. I'm not; promise. Arrogant / conceited? Maybe.] <3 #
  • @nsstcweather @bamawx I'm sure u're busy but would either of u mind guessing 4 me? Russellville 2 Florence drive @ 5:30. How bad? Thx! #alwx #
  • @nsstcweather @bamawx Update: You can share 4 other followers if u want, but my reasons for needing to know no longer apply. :) Thx anyways! #
  • Local TV stations - is it really a good idea 2 have soap sex scenes on air btwn breakins, when school's out and people r tuning n 4 weather? #
  • @abstractrandom My girlfriend just told me, "I can't believe you tweeted that." Maybe I should back away from the twitter for the day. in reply to abstractrandom #
  • One more to show the convo, and I'm done: RT @anothertomorrow: @tollie .... good job, ::cheer:: girlfriend! Good job, take him away from it! #
  • @nsstcweather Significant nuisance flooding on lower parts of Wood Ave in Florence. Traffic affected. Royal Ave very difficult to travel. #
  • @nsstcweather Other streets off of Florence Blvd are becoming impassable in Florence - roads will be closing soon. FF warning coming soon?? #
  • Importing and about 2 upload video of a car stuck n the middle of a flooded road. Water wasn't very deep, but does show how little it takes. #
  • Video of a car stuck on a flooded road by Cox Creek Blvd, just off Chisholm Rd, in Florence, Al. #Shoals #alwx http://bit.ly/19tpUh #

  • @hcurrin Hey Hannah. Twitter is sometimes slow to update your following / follower count and those pictures - especially here lately. in reply to hcurrin #
  • @MalloryMartin I'm so happy you're reading HPotter now. And I'm jealous @ how fast you can do it. I'll miss ya tom, but be thinking of U. <3 in reply to MalloryMartin #
  • @meremar24 You really want to have a war on twitter about the supremacy of JKRowling to SMeyer? ... Actually, that's probably good tw-bait. in reply to meremar24 #
  • I agree w/ SKing: "Rowling,Meyer- they're speakng dirctly 2yng ppl. Real diff is Rowling is a terrific writer;Meyer cant write worth a darn" #
  • @chaseathompson A tweet for your thoughts: http://bit.ly/e3VI [goes to a blog post of mine - about a slashdot comment - about copyright] #
