06:23:19: @blackfonzie I was thinking this while listening to Shock of the News... all that positive affirmation works, Stuart Smalley's a senator now
06:24:06: @TankaBar_Linda Thank you, I'll have to check REI.
07:44:12: @addiarmadar No hotter than downloading any other 87MB file!
07:44:33: Good morning, my fine, fine friends.
07:47:49: @cocoacast Again... this cross-platform lib manager exists that most people already have. Why invent the wheel, why not make it easy on ppl?
07:51:41: @Bootsy_Collins They just intensified the funk of us survivors
07:52:29: @cocoacast Personally, I hate iTunes, but since they have the podcast database what can you do. #pre
07:53:21: @cyktrussell well that's a new one. Checking out the article. Maybe they should put cancer warnings on slim jims & bratwurst too
08:06:41: Name that film! &#266B; http://blip.fm/~aiz28
08:07:13: RT @gchance: Name that film! &#266B; http://blip.fm/~aiz28 - of course the second someone clicks it they'll know hehehe
08:16:20: @kchealy Oh no! Glad to hear you're ok. You pulled a me.
08:20:53: Emerson, Lake, & Powell, "Touch and Go" &#266B; http://blip.fm/~aj031
08:21:26: @kchealy As I said, you pulled a me. I fall a lot no matter what I do. Just sitting in my chair, I fall on occasion.
08:22:56: @OTD_Colonel @cyktrussell I suppose there's a level of craziness that people should really disallow themselves from going beyond.
08:24:59: @blackfonzie Snausages!
08:26:24: RT @JackFacts24: Ron Burgundy was wrong. San Diego, in fact, was named after Jack Bauer. #24
08:29:37: @blackfonzie Snausages!
08:32:03: RT @sacbee_news: Keith Urban overcomes pain in the neck to rock Arco http://bit.ly/ByvZh - glad to see Nicole Kidman's no longer a problem.
08:41:08: Wow, the user who slowed her computer to a crawl yesterday with Pandora has Pandora streaming this morning. Fascinating.
08:41:18: @blackfonzie IT'S BACON!
08:46:33: @blackfonzie Are you trying to have a real discussion about sausages, or just slip it in somewhere?
08:47:31: @blackfonzie If you're frustrated and someone asks what you've tried, there's your entry point. Slip into Scotty accent and say...
08:47:59: @blackfonzie "I tried shovin' a sausage into the warp drive, but it diddna do a bi' a' good."
08:48:45: @blackfonzie "By the way, would you happen to have a we bi' a' mustard up there on the bridge?" "Analysis, Spock?"
08:49:02: @blackfonzie "It would appear Mr. Scott is about to eat a hot dog without mustard, Captain."
08:58:37: All your sausage are belong to us.
09:13:52: Pink Floyd, "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" &#266B; http://blip.fm/~aj3kt
09:21:12: @cocoacast Yes, but why? It already exists, it doesn't need to be reinvented. I use iTunes to download podcasts but don't sync with it.
09:39:27: @TimBorb 5:15 is a good tune but it's better if you listen to it in context (within the Quadrophenia album)
09:55:18: @eveblackorwhite good morning girlie
09:58:26: @MannyPR It always works for me as well, iTunes sync may have broke, but remember I don't sync with iTunes. I sync with iTunes Agent.
09:59:14: @MannyPR I do think, however, that they're going to be in a heap of trouble with the method they used (using Apple's USB ID)
10:20:37: @MannyPR That's right! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! #pre Double waaaaaaaah!
10:47:20: @cocoacast An RSS reader doesn't search the itunes database. I used an RSS reader on the Treo because it didn't open as a volume
10:47:31: @cocoacast Otherwise I would have done the same thing I'm doing right now.
11:02:30: @cocoacast There's that reinvention of the wheel thing again. Perhaps they want to focus on the more important things, like EAS
11:16:22: @cocoacast Free but not open source. That's why iTunes isn't on the #pre.
11:39:28: @bucksommerkamp It's just in too-heavy rotation everywhere. If I listen to classic rock stations I hear it constantly.
11:40:22: @zachtib unbricked?
11:40:34: @zachtib how did you brick your #pre?
12:01:09: @alitherunner bah dah dah!
12:01:46: @bucksommerkamp Very likely. You gotta hand it to Aerosmith, each decade for a while they've found something to renew their fanbase
12:02:12: @bucksommerkamp in the 80s it was Walk This Way with Run DMC
12:02:37: @bucksommerkamp in the 90s it was Steven Tyler in drag for Dude Looks Like a Lady :P
12:04:19: @MacStainless 142 HD hours droooooooooollllllllllllll. Wish I could get one, but sadly no cable card in Dish boxes.
12:17:49: @alitherunner When I hear that song I think of this scene... good times. http://bit.ly/jNqyC
12:23:26: @MacStainless It's one of those things. Can the Series 3 HD files from Tivo-2-Go be stripped of DRM?
12:29:42: @ManMadeMoon How about a chick flick about the love between a race car driver and a high society call girl?
13:43:28: @Adora I have to try the terminal. I've been using an ajax one but it sucks & doesn't retain a PATH, cd doesn't work either :)
13:50:42: @disneyrunner Like! See, if this were Facebook I'd give you a thumbs up, but here I can just say LIKE. So... like!
14:09:52: @Adora Got the #pre terminal running, but it's not perfect. Better than the AJAX one though!
14:26:16: @Skittlesdfw Are you at a "comic book" conference by chance?
15:54:55: @TLM26 @marathonmaritza LOOK OUT!!!! Eric Bana's holding on for dear life, he's about to fall off that building!
15:55:29: @cyberpenguin @TLM26 @marathonmaritza I wanted to see it, but now? It looks like a romance novel, no thanks.
15:58:56: @smellycents Holy cow! I turned down something like that last night.
15:59:24: @cyberpenguin Thank you for reminding me I've been on Twitter for 8 months!
16:06:46: @keeponrunning endlessly parsing searches?
16:21:31: @cyberpenguin It just outlines the fact that people come & go on Twitter when someone here for 8 months is a veteran
16:22:09: @TLM26 @cyberpenguin @marathonmaritza I had no idea it was a romance novel! People don't tend to describe it as such.
16:24:13: @TLM26 @cyberpenguin @marathonmaritza I only heard about it when people compared the Journeyman tv show to it
16:46:35: @cyberpenguin That's what I'm getting at. :) If you look though I've had an account probably that long
16:46:41: @cyberpenguin but I didn't use it until last year
16:51:51: @RunningHoosier I was looking for when I set up the account though :)
16:52:29: @RunningHoosier it doesn't seem to show sign-up date
16:56:11: @cyberpenguin You don't. What is wrong with you?
17:00:01: @cyberpenguin It certanly wasn't a good thing. My best friend died and I was going to all the networks he frequented to tell his friends
17:00:27: @cyberpenguin and I knew some friends of his where he used to live in WA were on Twitter, so if I could get to one or two of them
17:00:44: @cyberpenguin then they could spread the word to his real life friends (which they did, we still follow each other too)
17:01:10: @cyberpenguin I'm sure you'd remember me talking about him, Jim basically died of morbid obesity
17:04:46: This is bad. Loudtwitter died a month ago and I didn't know, so none of my tweets have been going to my blog. D'OH.
17:07:10: Speaking of following Jim's friends, how's it going, @onthefritz? :)
17:08:43: Well, I found Twittinesis is a good replacement for LoudTwitter, but you can't schedule the post. So I get to wait.
17:09:04: Meantime, it just goes to show that I need to resume blogging.
17:10:09: @cyberpenguin Like everything else, I either don't have the time, or don't feel like it. I can't write without concentrating on it anymore.
17:18:24: @karrock @cyberpenguin @TLM26 @marathonmaritza I looked on amazon.com and the book is decidedly not romancenovelesque. It's just ppls feet
22:21:22: @MacStainless Re: DRM, I have an app to strip DRM from the SD tivo, didn't know if it worked on the HD version. Cool.
22:21:41: @eveblackorwhite 5 hours later, I say good evening back
22:23:19: @lannies You got the laminated nutrition facts too, eh? What's your standard meal?
22:24:29: @RunningHoosier For first tweets, Twitter now only allows you to go 3200 tweets back. I'm well over 16k now. :)
22:53:31: Too lively for my taste tonight! 5 miles tomorrow morning. Later.
