  • @jgonis What JB apps do you use? Also, FYI, the latest MobileSubstrate upgrade-- kinda scary. It reactivated/ renamed me. Worse for others. in reply to jgonis #
  • @jgonis oh. I don't use JB for that. I like Qik, pdaNet, backgrounder, gvmobile, flashlight (yes), and sbsettings 4 status swipe brightness. in reply to jgonis #
  • @jgonis Wow. Sad about the liveshow, but good to have work. Sad about the dead 2g and 3Gs, but awesome about their revival and the new 3Gs. in reply to jgonis #
  • @jgonis If you didn't know, the biggest dif with JB the 3GS is that it requires signatures, so it's important to get your ECID SHSH on file. in reply to jgonis #
  • @jhummrich @tieingupheroes When the video works, but the chat won't load, it usually means IRC is blocked by ur router or school's firewall. in reply to jhummrich #
  • @jgonis I read that article. FUD if you ask me. Their suggestion to Restore your iPhone? Bogus nonsense. Passwd and disable ssh for kicks. in reply to jgonis #
  • God said to Satan, 'Behold he is in your hand; only spare his life' ... Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves. -Job #
  • @candacecbure #iAmThankful God has given you a testimony! I just got through listening 2 it. It'll be on http://www.LWJradio.com Thur & Fri. #
  • @candacecbure #iAmThankful God has given you a testimony! I just got thru listening. It's on http://www.LWJradio.com today & tomr. #
  • I ended up watching New Moon tonight. I have to say that I liked the story and the acting. I may even give the books another chance. #
  • Headed back to Florence to watch the game. Dad seemed flabbergasted when I asked him, "So who y'all cheerin' for today?" (He answered RTR!?) #
  • Every single person in Hometown Market, every person except me, has on either Alabama or Auburn wear. (Auburn fans were out numbered 3:1.) #
  • If nothing else, what a start to a game! #
  • A) So far, this is a Lulz-y game. B) Why does CBS's telestrator look like it's not only SD but bad quality SD? They couldn't get an HD one? #
  • The AT&T commercial is so weak! Sure, you have coverage, but that's not the point. It's 3G where you utterly fail compared to Verizon. #
  • Hey AT&T, you forgot to mention you can only talk and use data at the same time on your tiny tiny 3G coverage, and only when it works. #
  • That was a good game. #
  • @LyssaBizarre969 Alabama - barely. in reply to LyssaBizarre969 #
  • @_SarahWilder On the iPhone? Or on your computer? in reply to _SarahWilder #
  • Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but w/ that 1 interception & return, UNA's defense has gained mored yards than their offense in this game. #
  • @dtapscott I notice: How much better the police handled that, than USA police handled the peaceful RNC protests- even arresting journalists. in reply to dtapscott #

  • Evil heretics r on Discovery Chan n the morning: Jentezen Franklin & Joel Osteen. Fueling scientists who think Christians r looney, no doubt #
  • @TornadoVideos So how does it feel to be coming on after (TV-MA) Jack the Ripper in America? :) in reply to TornadoVideos #
  • @rodcarroll Mirror, paper weight, straight edge, avoid people (pretend it's working), stop a bullet (http://bit.ly/2kp37K) ... a few things. in reply to rodcarroll #
  • RT @timoreilly: "Do what you do best, and link to the rest." It's a quote from @jeffjarvis. #
  • Do not forget how you provoked the Lord your God to wrath . . . Yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors. #
  • @a_askew More reason to Jailbreak. :) Backgrounder works great. in reply to a_askew #
  • @amberweinberg It allows u 2 insert a tweet n2 ur followers' timelines. It's on the API 2. People now need 2 add comments w/ separate tweet. in reply to amberweinberg #
  • The new RT feature is an added bonus. As long as 3rd party developers keep allowing "old" RTing (@atebits probably won't) - there's no loss. #
  • And to the people complaining that the new RT is letting people you don't follow in your timeline - Who put them there? Someone you follow. #
  • @twitter The new RT is a good thing. (Added functionality = Good.) However, still waiting for you to #fixreplies - bring back our options! #
  • .@twitter The new RT is a good thing. (Added functionality = Good.) However, still waiting for you to #fixreplies - bring back our options! #
  • Further, to people complaining about the new RT mechanism: you can turn it off on a per user basis. (Preventing you from seeing their RTs.) #
  • @boxcar @plinkk Just wait until ur searches take 6 hours 2 come in, like mine are. & @boxcar still hasn't replied, even when I email support #
  • @plinkk He (@boxcar) replied to you. Basically said you'll get delays. (Yours was 10 mins?) What he didn't say is that it could be HOURS. in reply to plinkk #
  • Do u think some preachers r jerks? So did Paul, but: "Whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice." Ph 1:18 #
  • Dense fog causing patches of visibility < 200ft on Wilson Dam Rd this AM. @nsstcweather #shoals #
  • @davidstarlingm What did you do? #
  • @luvtheheaven Thanks for the shout out. :) #
  • Mac and iPhone 3Gs owners: Today's Woot seems like a reasonable deal on stereo bluetooth headphones/mic: http://www.woot.com #
  • @jeremyflint Bloons Tower Defense is also in the App Store. :) in reply to jeremyflint #
  • @atcrawford You can do it individually per person if you REALLY want to, but it's one of the few improvements twitter has made in 3 years. #

  • @atebits Is it worth giving up my middle-click scroll wheel --> Expose: all windows functionality for? in reply to atebits #
  • @_SarahWilder Huntsville's may be decent, but the Craigslist for the #Shoals is awful- 99% scamy. in reply to _SarahWilder #
  • Churches, please stop teaching this: "We need to pray for God to help us tell our story & His." Instead say: "enable us to tell the gospel." #
  • Instantly 1 of my favorite apps for Win7, tied w/ mIRC. Mac version coming. RT @thurrott: Kindle for PC Now Available: http://bit.ly/2KKrX9 #
  • @brotom Here's something you could probably blog about: http://bit.ly/1uSZf2 (warning: dangerous liturgy ahead) #
  • If you turn on the radio hoping for Journey and you get Rick Astley, does that count as a Rickroll? #
  • @_SarahWilder You'd enjoy / agree with today's Living With Joy podcast: "America." It's at http://www.LWJradio.com but don't tell anyone I do it in reply to _SarahWilder #
  • @brotom You didn't tweet that from one, did you? in reply to brotom #
  • @jhummrich I've got one for you. Honestly, it so buggy, it's useless for the moment, IMHO in reply to jhummrich #
  • @jhummrich Oh ok. You got one then? in reply to jhummrich #
  • @kkjordan: funny. @Cory_A: dm me your email, but fwiw: Gwave is barely "alpha" quality. Too annoying to use,
    IMHO. @jhummrich: yep. They do. in reply to kkjordan #
  • @kkjordan My #wave username is ~tolliewilliams. See, I want to start the convention of using the tilde. It's short and it just looks wavey. in reply to kkjordan #
  • #Shoals, we don't have ATT's 3G, but it's ok: ATT says Edge is plenty: http://tr.im/ERnd You know, "iPhone 3G" is just a name. #
  • ATT Lawyers describing Verizon ad: The spotted elephant, in a surprised manner, asks the iPhone "What are you doing here?" http://tr.im/ERnF #
  • Don't get me wrong, Verizon is still evil too: http://tr.im/ESjJ #
  • Almost got into a wreck this morning thanks to a guy, speeding & swerving. On his window, a sticker: "Get in, sit down, shut up, & hold on." #
  • Use Logitech Mouse software on OSX? It messes up Safari and Mail. (Figures.) Trash /Library/ScriptingAdditions/LCC Scroll Enhancer* to fix. #
  • @JSimpson1789 That is ... odd. in reply to JSimpson1789 #

  • @_SarahWilder I'm not doubting you, nor would I be surprised, but I am interested to hear what was said that makes you say that. in reply to _SarahWilder #
  • @blakebritton I would recommend CNET for reviews. But I recommend MS Security Essentials, AVG free, NO anti-virus, or Norton. In that order. in reply to blakebritton #
  • @blakebritton MS-SE = free / lightweight. AVG = free / bloated. NO a/v = best, but relies on u to be smart. Norton = paid / lightish weight. in reply to blakebritton #
  • Since no one has heard the podcast yet, I'll go on record: I said 3 week ago: Twitter lists = just another way to be 'spammed' on twitter. #
  • @ginatrapani Hey Gina. One for you 2 add 2 your list of what #Wave can't do [yet]: delete private replies. It's a somewhat annoying bug. Thx #
  • @TheDaleJackson That tweet was posted via "bookmarking" Matt's tweet. Re football: they're mostly thugs n training. Some exceptions, but few in reply to TheDaleJackson #
  • @TheDaleJackson That won't stop me from watching, nor from praising those rare few, but it means I'm not surprised- I mean, look @ his name. in reply to TheDaleJackson #
  • @EWord Congrats! in reply to EWord #
  • @anothertomorrow Yes. I couldn't return your call. Either T-Mobile or ATT wouldn't let the call go through. in reply to anothertomorrow #
  • The Verizon ads just got 5X better. How? AT&T is suing. AT&T doesn't have 3G here (V does), but they have lawyers nationwide. #Shoals #
  • @Steve35660 Verizon has had their 3G (which is FASTER than AT&T's) in the #Shoals since late 2006. in reply to Steve35660 #
  • Just realized where speaking in 10 code actually could be practically useful: txting. #

  • In an Excel macro, I have a string value that I want to put on the clipboard. This shouldn't be so difficult! Any suggestions? #
  • @AutomationAnywh I've tried that code, and it returns an error of 424, Object Required. in reply to AutomationAnywh #
  • Credit when it's due: this http://tr.im/D81x is a good article. @Shoalanda #
  • @thurrott Paul, Ed couldn't address this. I can. Unactivated/No Key *Vista* to Win7Pro Upgrade -> Fail with error message before install. in reply to thurrott #
  • @studionashvegas I think, IIRC, if you search for "search engine" - the first result is dogpile. in reply to studionashvegas #
  • @GrammarGirl Some say that TXT/Tweets encourage bad grammar, but I say it's evolving it to say a lot w/ little verbiage. Ur thoughts? Thx ;) #
  • @jeremyflint They really don't. They want them to buy a new computer because it has Windows 7 on it. That's the way Windows users "upgrade." in reply to jeremyflint #
  • The Ultimate Boot CD is still incredibly useful. I couldn't get the system restore to work on my old Acer. UBC -> set partition table -> FTW #
  • In times of change, learners inherit the Earth while learned find themselves equipped to deal w/ a world that no longer exists. -Eric Hoffer #
  • This is the snottiest, most arrogant blog post I've seen: http://tr.im/DxXc - Microsoft REALLY doesn't get their consumers _or_ competition. #
  • I'm about sick of the attention this celebration of worldly worldviews and pagan practices gets. People that "go all out" for it sadden me. #
  • Did someone tell Auburn and Ole Miss, that this game is just for the "lulz?" #
  • @LyssaBizarre969 The score is 33-20 Auburn, but it's not really the score that's been so outrageous. It's been _how_ they scored. in reply to LyssaBizarre969 #
  • @LyssaBizarre969 In about 10 minutes, there were 5 touchdowns & a 2pt conversion run back by the defense. I hope you're DVRing it. in reply to LyssaBizarre969 #
