I wish more people got the distinction between feeling nauseous and nauseated. You’re sick in one, I’m sick in the other. Work on it people.
Mac people: Is there any notable benefit to having an external HDD in HFS+ over FAT32?
Happy Birthday, IE6. You’re eight years old today. That’s like 2 billion in Internet years. Get the heck off my tubes. Thanks.
SuperDuper is an aptly named program. Making a disk image now, then it’s time to paint the Leopard snow-white.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is awesome. I suspect I may actually finish it. I rarely complete games fully, but can see myself doing that here.
“Verdana” is trending on Twitter. Wherever he is right now, @futuraprime just felt a shudder of disgust and doesn’t know why.
More doctor appts need to be like that. “Here, put on this comfy mask and take a nap for an hour.” I can’t get a CPAP soon enough.
Seriously, I just want to go put that mask back on and sleep for several more hours. Mmm, genuinely restful sleep.
Aside from the comments bit, I’d generally agree with this list. RT @smashingmag: JavaScript: Bad Practices - http://bit.ly/42gUhl
I found this article on apologizing oddly relevant to a blog post I’ve been stewing over. http://bit.ly/17i8JC
Me and @LisaArn at @cmark2626 and Jodi’s wedding today. We did readings. Congrats you two! :) http://twitpic.com/ey42a
Conrad’s now-wife Jodi made him this awesome groom’s cake for their wedding today. It’s amazing in person. http://twitpic.com/ey3e2
#SQLServer people: Looking for hosting solution to handle ColdFusion site with ~200MB DB that may grow much more than that. Thoughts?
All the WoW rumors are true. New races, new race/class combos, totally revamped Azeroth. I’m a happy fanboy today. #BlizzCon
This guy’s totally watching the #BlizzCon stream while running the new instance. http://i29.tinypic.com/24ngrvn.jpg
Having been to #BlizzCon, and now watching online - it’s definitely not the same but it’s pretty great.
10 PRINT “Where you once belonged” 20 IF name = “JoJo” OR name = “Loretta” GOTO 10 #songsincode and I’ll stop now. :D
include(“friendsHelp.inc”); getBy(); getHigh(); try {needAnybody ? somebodyToLove;} #songsincode
It’s tempting to do a #songsincode for First Of May, but I don’t want to use the key word in my Twitter stream. :)
I’m officially jealous of @JMW being in CA right now. Mind you, I’m glad I’m going to be here this weekend. Just, exciting stuff out there.
I’m not being a glutton, that Dove chocolate totally told me to eat another, it’s right there on the wrapper.
do { echo “This is the song that doesn’t end\nYes, it goes on and on my friend…”; } while (true) #songsincode
for ($i in array(‘leftArm’,’rightArm’,’leftLeg’,’rightLeg’,’wholeSelf’)){in($i);out($i);in($i);shakeAllAbout($i);hokeyPokey();} #songsincode
The live RiffTrax was absolutely awesome. Best JoCo songs he could have picked, horrible movie, so fun. #rifftrax
After #rifftrax I joined up with @cmark2626 for the start of bachelor party stuff but was too tired to keep up, plus work early in the morn.
At #rifftrax tonight here in #ABQ, the audience cheered at the mention of going balling in #ABQ. The movie said we’re a 9pm town, so true.
On the whole, a great end to a rough day. Now, to bed. G’night Twitter.
Today is not the best day. Part of me is looking forward to #ABQ #webgeeks, part of me is contemplating skipping it and passing out at home.
Heard http://bit.ly/Funkdafied (NSFW language, YouTube video) in the car while out getting lunch, hit by a rush of rare positive HS memories
I <3 AmznMP3 RT @amazonmp3 8/19 Daily Deal: Tron soundtrack, featuring Journey and Wendy Carlos. Today’s price: $1.99. http://bit.ly/AMP3
RT @LisaArn Looking for a book, something like “Learning ActionScript3 with Flex” - for one new to object oriented concepts. #ArcGIS #Flex
I haven’t touched my Nintendo DS since I got my iPhone, but the new Professor Layton game may change that. I loved the first one.
So, I’m told that if you reply to this specific tweet, something neat may happen. I’m curious.
I should note, “something neat may happen” means “*I* get to see something neat” - you dont’, sucka.
55 Rock Band songs + 84 Rock Band 2 songs + 351 Rock Band downloaded songs = my setup. 490. My name is Brian and I’m addicted to RB DLC. #fb
Firing up the grill for the first time in awhile. Burgers and bell peppers. Tasty. #fb
I think I need to start making plans to attend SXSWi. I’d love to go.
Tom DeLay will be on Dancing With The Stars! If he doesn’t dance to “Whip It” at least once, something is wrong.
Non-Beatles fan: What’s your favorite song? Beatles fan: What’s your favorite album? An interesting distinction that I can now appreciate.
Observation: when I tell people of my recent Beatles obsession, I get one of two questions, depending on the type of person. (cont)
Took a day off. First day off in months. First day I’ve written zero code since… May, probably. Did nothing. It was awesome.
I love when meetings are scheduled at noon. Even moreso when it’s on my half day, where I’d normally leave at noon. Exciting!
Oh wait, I’m wrong. Only men can have the *blue* cell phone. The woman’s cell phone is pink, because they’re women and women like pink.
The new Xbox Live Avatar system lets you buy props for your avatar. Men & women can have pom poms, but only men can have cell phones. Weird.
These may be the best shelves ever made: http://bit.ly/xLdx8 (gizmodo.com)
Using things in proportion IRL is good. Two ears, one mouth. But on the net, it’s bad, as it’s two eyes and ten fingers.
I don’t know crap about Mad Men, but I made an awesome avatar at http://madmenyourself.com. Go make yours! #madmen
Sorely tempted to buy Burnout Paradise on Xbox Live just so I don’t have to swap discs to play. #lazy
“Do You Want To Date My Avatar” by #theguild is possibly the most awesome video I’ve ever downloaded to my Xbox.
