Just wasted an hour shopping at an airline “miles” redemption site, only to be told I am not eligible for gifts, just crappy magazines.
We’re going to see Weird Al @alyankovic in June!
I forgot to turn off RunKeeper, and so it kept recording all weekend… it thinks I ran 28 miles.
@mchapple I was looking up your bio after seeing “Incident Response with NetFlow - for Dummies”, thought you might work for @Lancope (I do)
@mchapple FYI, all of the links on your (m.c.o) web page are returning 404. D’oh!
@mkennedy2d Video resolutions vary, depending on subject. Some as small as 480p. I even cropped a few (using HandBrakeCLI).
@mkennedy2d I’d never dream of re-encoding videos on my phone. I’m basically cleaning up old files on the laptop.
Sorting through videos taken on my phone. The ones I want to save, I end up re-encoding & compressing. 1080p is overkill.
Smile! This morning, I passed the Bing street maps camera car!
Ebay refunded my money for something I bought that was never delivered. Not as satisfying as you’d think. Jerk still took the $, stuck ebay.
Channel surfing was a lot more fun when it didn’t take five solid seconds for the TV to sync on a channel.
sawaba Banning encryption for govt convenience is like banning seatbelts to make it easier for responders to remove bodies from wreckage
@jzy freaky, the guy who sent me the link is a guy i met on twitter first, and then later at work. small world, squared!
@jzy Is this you? http://t.co/cdvwWbRuT6 In article http://t.co/blgJUD5Uws about open offices.

Hot toddy time!
@pwbrewer As usual, your lack of context is perplexing.
Hermit crab update: he’s still going commando… it’s like a crab nudist colony!
I think my epitaph should read: “TypeError: undefined is not a function”.
Hermit crab update: He’s been out of his shell all day. He doesn’t move much, just enough that we know he’s still alive.
RandomSpaceFact To see Comet Lovejoy, search the internet for a finder chart, then use binoculars to look for a fuzzy blob.
Just accepted a “community match” on Words With Friends and opened with a 57 point word.
This morning’s crisis: is the hermit crab dead, or just molting?
@WCPSS @rtphokie prettier URL = wcpss.net/stay-informed
@rtphokie @WCPSS There was an email system that I fwd’ed to my phone in years past… I bet I need to resubscribe. <goes digging>
15-page web survey, slow page loads, no page links, just PREV and NEXT, and I need to go back to the beginning (and then back to the end).
My “usually-fast-enough” 6Mb DSL line dropped to 17kb this morning. Not sure why. Much fiddling ensued. Then it just started working again.
@YocDulce You’re OK. I’m OK. I’m just not that Rockhopper.
Fine, I ordered a song on Amazon. That means I want them to run “Amazon Music Helper” on my computer, 24/7, right?
@plugusin Sometimes, I take pride in the amount of hassle I give and receive at airports.
“For my convenience” I had to install the Amazon music downloader/player, so it could snoop on my computer & control what I do with music.
@plugusin This just seems wrong to me, paying the gov’t to do a bg check so I can travel w/o hassle. I just opt out, let ‘em frisk me.
Using Stellarium to guide: found Orion, right to Menkar, up to Taurus’s leg (Omicron & Xi Tauri), down to Lovejoy. Cheap-o telescope did OK!
@base10 Stellarium software helps a lot.
Looking for comet Lovejoy. Found two satellites first. Comet looks like a dim green mist. Digging out our telescope for a better view.
Mercury and Venus are pretty bright in the western sky tonight, just above the horizon!
Watching “Shrek, the musical” (by request of D1). Strangely similar to last night’s “Wicked”.
Seeing “Wicked”… apparently, it’s about a candle stick maker.
I have no clue what I am doing. I’m not sure who I should ask… and I don’t know what I should ask them!
Full moon shining in the back yard. Very loud and large-sounding owl hooting. Sounds like he’s close.
I just created my first pull request on @github! Fixed a small mistake in some documentation.
I think I should buy some AAPL stock. My friend @sethwhite86 started working there today, and he’s sure to fix all of their problems!
Hello, moon!
I wish… I wish… I wish to eat all my vegetables. â™#IntoTheWoodsds

@andy_headspace Saw your TED talk. On mindfulness, I thought you might like this free app that I wrote for a friend: sentosa.us/apps/wishes/
50+ minutes ago: “I should do a quick ‘apt-get dist-upgrade’ to freshen things up a bit”

@llorenzin Just started at Lancope. You’re one of the few of my friends that might have heard of ‘em.
New year, new job, let’s go!
This has been a fine do-nothing holiday week. I’m sorry to see it end. Fortunately, the upcoming work week is just one day long!
