Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-06-28

by Matt Mecham on June 28, 2009

  • American groceries! In the UK! http://mypict.me/4Qkk #
  • Our little boy: ambulatory on two feet. http://mypict.me/4RdV #
  • Getting slowly full on Tootsie rolls and pops. http://mypict.me/4Ro3 #
  • Merry Monday all. Another week of programming larks begins. #
  • Rikki talked me into buying a 24" iMac. By "talked me into" I mean he didn't give me good reasons to NOT buy it. 3-5 days for Mac goodness. #
  • Busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy. Need chocolate. #
  • Code…. build… code…build.. Am I going to finish today? #
  • Morning. Today could be a very exciting day indeed. #
  • Having a bit of a spring clean / tidy up / desk move-around in anticipation of new 24" iMac. Slightly larger than current 17"! #
  • Apparently my iMac is "Out for Delivery"! I find it pathetic that I get so excited about new hardware. But it's out for delivery! #
  • Now I can't concentrate because I'm waiting for the door bell. Not that I'll have time to even open the box today. #
  • I think that each driver should be given an iPhone and you should be able to use the "Find my phone" feature to see where the driver is. #
  • Might go for a quick run. If I put a webcam above the door can someone tweet me if they see the UPS driver? Thanks. #
  • I hate waiting. Did I hear a van? No. Hmm. Refresh UPS tracker. Hmm. Did I hear a van? No. Etc. Think I'll unlock the door and leave it open #
  • Neat cabling makes me happy. http://mypict.me/5bzU #
  • It has arrived! The box is massive. I could live in it. #
  • It's 'uuuuge. http://mypict.me/5c7U #
  • Lovely. http://mypict.me/5ccr #
  • BTW. If you go into the customer area today, you're in for a big surprise… #
  • 4 hours to transfer my old data apparently. That's a lot of thumb twiddling #
  • :( http://mypict.me/5cAl #
  • So, by now you've figured out that we stealthily released #ipb 3 and other apps. A long time coming but worth the wait! #
  • Thanks to everyone for all the replies. We must forget BFarber either. Even though he's not on twitter. Yet. Real team effort. :) #
  • Oh dear. That was "must not" forget Bfarber. #
  • http://twitpic.com/8759v Luke made short work of that. #
  • Gah! 50 mins to go with transfer and it decided to stop. Plan B in action. Time machine to external. #
  • We need to start a petition to get Lindy and Brandon on Twitter! #
  • Finally got the new Mac running with all my old data. Display will take some getting used to. V bright too. More subs m tomorrow! #
  • Hope the miniport to dvi cable arrives tomorrow too! Sleep time. Hope to be up in 7 hours for more #ipb coding. Night. #
  • Is it morning again already? How did that happen. Now to catch up on #ipb 3 release feedback. #
  • Slowly getting a sun tan and retina burn from the 24" display. Even with brightness turned down. *Squint* #
  • Briefly considered a memory upgrade to 8gb. Cost: £629.04. Think I'll pass for now. #
  • Just invented a phrase "Doing a Rikki". You tell everyone a task is hard/time consuming to complete and then do it 3 months later in 10mins. #
  • IMG_8675 [pic] http://ff.im/-4n4jJ #
  • My fingers smell of fish. #
  • Because of the salmon salad I made and just ate. #
  • Time to sleep. Aiming to get up in 5 hours to wrap up #ipb subs manager stuff. That's the plan anyway. #
  • Morning all. Here I am with an extra strong mug of coffee ready to start work. #
  • One of my external drives is incredibly noisy. It's keeping me awake! Hurry up and finish Time Machine! #
  • 815,793 items still left to delete. *Crunch, click, crunch*, etc. #
  • 75,229 items to go! #
  • Noisy drive is quiet again. Oh, and note to self: Always spell 'discounted' with an 'o'. Always. #
  • Oh dear. Seems like someone violated your inalienable right to be a dick. Internet campaign to the rescue! #
  • Never use "reeks" to denote something positive. "He reeks of talent" is bad. "He reeks of fish" makes sense. Tip of the day. #
  • Ooh. Extended keyboard arrived. Just as I was getting used to the old one. Also the mini port to DVI adaptor turned up for my second monitor #
  • Adjusting windows on my extended desktop. Twitter now lives on the second monitor. Hope you don't mind. #
  • New website is awesome and exciting to see it live. Nice work @rikkitissier #
  • Truly shocked to hear that Jacko has died. A gifted artist and performer regardless of the controversy that surrounded him. #
  • Apparently sending out a newsletter to someone who subscribed to our newsletter makes us a "F**king spammer". I sigh for the human race. #
  • Brain full of cotton wool today. Having trouble grasping the basics today. Listening to classic MJ. Might have a third coffee. #
  • Ugh. And now the MJ jokes start. Do me a favour and keep them to yourself. When you die lets hope no one finds it must-share-hilarious. #
  • Check the Filipino prisoner's homage to Thriller http://bit.ly/9XLUt (thanks @totalfim – great article) #
  • End of a good week. #ipb released and well received. Ditto on the website. Next week: subs manager (hopefully) #
