Twitter Updates for 2009-05-03

• @Shoalanda Are you the person behind the "Nurse Nan" blog? If so, are you an actual nurse? If so, what kind, and where are you employed? Thx #
• @moviepastor Will you follow me? I have a dm for you. in reply to moviepastor #
• @leslieannjones I understand. The best way I explain it: u'll hate ur Mini in 1year when it's 2 slow 4 internet videos. iMac lasts~ 3 years. in reply to leslieannjones #
• @leslieannjones Or, and yes, I'm going to say it, for the cost of a Mini, I'd rather see you wait a few months and get a laptop w/ Windows7. in reply to leslieannjones #
• @leslieannjones Sorry, my brain got confused w/ what I was trying to say. By laptop, I meant desktop. But yes, Windows 7 is actually decent. in reply to leslieannjones #
• You know - I get it - but I really don't. We need copyright reform esp. regarding music. I mean, come on: http://www.ccli.co.uk - it's nuts. #
• Music I *almost* idolize http://ff.im/2oanw #
• @grahamhancock @heroespodcast If you're awake, I'm a bit confused on the times of the upcoming live show. Let's talk CST: when til when? Thx #
• @grahamhancock Oh, and happy birthday. :) #
• @Shoalanda Are you the person behind the Nurse Nan blog? If so, are you an actual nurse? If so, what kind? You're giving out medical advice. #
• Have we reached panic yet? http://twitpic.com/43w5n #
• @grahamhancock One thing u may want 2 do: set ustream 2 default 2 the chat tab instead of social stream. Or disable SS entirely- it's buggy. #
• Another test post to see if @shoalsbiz is working again. (Twitter hiccuped and lost everything.) #shoalsbiz #
• Panda Cloud Antivirus http://ff.im/2s9v9 #
• Liked "Need to clarify something...is there a way to show new shares just by the time they were posted? Without any..." http://ff.im/2sm8R #
• @jgalleg4 Are you a RedCross #LGI? How long have you been? Feel free to join http://lgiforums.com - it's a friendfeed group. in reply to jgalleg4 #
• Credit to Fox for not having the commercials twice as loud as Idol. I *hate* when networks do that - as it only results in me _muting_ them. #
• It's really interesting to search twitter for Adam Bottom 3 right now. Even for mediocre Idol fans like myself -... http://ff.im/2sAj9 #
• If @TimTheVoice or @MereMar24 - or anyone, really - read my previous tweet before watching it on the DVR, my apologies. No more spoilers. #
• 4 those who just saw the Mac/PC ad, here's the full txt of the "legal copy" that appears when PC talks. It's actual text. http://bit.ly/7azp #
• For those who just saw the Mac / PC ad., here's the full text of the "legal copy" that appears when PC talks. It's funny. http://bit.ly/7azp #
• @LoriMillerWHNT Thank u for mentioning the status of the two kids. Only person I've seen do that so far. Good to know, but also interesting. in reply to LoriMillerWHNT #
• @LoriMillerWHNT Beyond hoping they're well out of human decency, it's also interesting to see that this strain seems to go easy on kids/old. in reply to LoriMillerWHNT #
• @LoriMillerWHNT At least, that is my understanding of things. That the real threat is from our own immune response, rather than this strain. in reply to LoriMillerWHNT #
• @abstractrandom I hate to post about it too, and I agree: media / usual suspects love the hype. However, there are real differences: #sw ... in reply to abstractrandom #
• @abstractrandom Friendfeed didn't add its link. Here's my reply about #swineflu - http://bit.ly/19yLhc - how it's different from regular flu in reply to abstractrandom #
• Is this a bug, or is it my misunderstanding? When checking the CC twitter as an @ reply box in the comments,... http://ff.im/2sKFm #
• Liked "Hate 2 post abt #swineflu but its blown out of proportion by media. School closings?. Whats diferent w/this..." http://ff.im/2sHOr #
• links for 2009-04-29 http://ff.im/2sNSb #
• Liked "Flickr is in troubles too according to @om maybe I should start backing up my years of photos..." http://ff.im/2sSEp #
• @ikepigott RE ur Friendfeed as DVR tweet from a day ago: I believe it's more. IMHO, FF > twitter in many (most?) ways. More at #barcampbham. in reply to ikepigott #
• @ikepigott PS. Twitter 2 FF time is now [near] instantaneous, via a new hose coming out of twitter. http://bit.ly/14uGtw #barcampbham group. in reply to ikepigott #
• I've never participated in the #followfriday meme, but I like this approach; maybe I'll try: http://bit.ly/vGWbk via @acnatta via @swoodruff in reply to acnatta #
• @blakebritton Twitter got its legs via txt; there it's still king. But for engaging/ discovering - friendfeed's comments+ likes+ groups FTW. in reply to blakebritton #
• @abstractrandom Very impressive job on the twitter integration. Did you write it in house, or is it a script that you found? Using cron job? in reply to abstractrandom #
• @a_askew That is awful. It's my understanding that places like Dominos also do this, but 2 private investigator databases (name+ phone+ ad). in reply to a_askew #
• @a_askew Also, if you aren't already - http://donotcall.gov is *supposed* to help here, but YMMV. in reply to a_askew #
• [via @a_askew] David's Bridal sells ur phone# to 3rd parties who call daily. Nevr do biz w/ them. http://bit.ly/FJn3i seems 2 largely agree. #
• @grahamhancock Have a good trip and good luck at Rev3. Thanks for all the Heroes + 10th Wonder Live show fun this season. in reply to grahamhancock #
• I'm glad 2 hear that the DA+grand jury were sensible. #UNA students cleared http://bit.ly/17fdnK. @DPShields overreacted 2 the whole thing. #
• Ok, I'll try this #followfriday meme - but including "why" they're interesting: @amberweinberg - for web devs, Amber digs up the good links. #
• Most of my work is CC licensed, but I just found a website that has stolen my post, called it their own, and not linked me at all. CnD time. #
• In the 7:30 Florence, Al #X-men #Wolverine showing w/ @MalloryMartin. Anyone else here? #
• @DeidreBerry I did. But if someone were 2 ask me if they should stay after the credits? My vote: no. X-men 3? Worth it. X-men Wolverine? No. in reply to DeidreBerry #
• @abstractrandom Jeremy, I'd give it a 4 out of 5 for action. Add a star (5/5) if you liked all three X-men movies. It was a story well told. in reply to abstractrandom #
• @a_askew There's two? As in, different per movie? That's really annoying, and possibly grounds for lawsuits. Anyways, we saw the "11" scene. in reply to a_askew #
• @a_askew That frustrates me a lot - uncool Fox. Speaking of the leak? They STILL forgot to finish the CGs. Wolv's claws in the mirror float! in reply to a_askew #
• @a_askew I'd imagine it's possible to argue that the ticket didn't mention which print they were seeing, being denied what they paid 4, etc. in reply to a_askew #
• @a_askew I'm wondering if there's only one print, and the media are confused because of the 2 scenes - one mid way, and one at the very end. in reply to a_askew #
• Oh, and one more thing about #Wolverine. We have a digital projector in Florence, Al. How was there brief analog artifacts from film damage? #
• @a_askew By Monday? Found it there already. :) Post credits scene # 2: (spoiler alert) http://bit.ly/1097j1 Has anyone seen a different one? in reply to a_askew #
• @a_askew Well, I did find an ending I didn't see, so yeah, I'm annoyed by this. It's just wrong 2 have different prints. http://bit.ly/uDjnc in reply to a_askew #
• Link to a better video for the "11" ending w/o the audience profanity (apologies for 1st link) and cropped 2 see better. http://bit.ly/ZpQTa #
