Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-09-06

• Had a fun filled day at the seaside. Tacky but great fun. #
• How can one even begin to process the horror of this: http://bit.ly/UumBz As a human race, we're capable of some terrible things. #
• http://bit.ly/omigh is the correct URL, thanks. Apologies for using Daily Mail. #
• "Don't worry Abby! I made a christmas wish on a christmas star for a christmas miracle" #
• Looks like an accident on the M1 south bound at J13. Down to one lane. Emergency services on scene. Looks like long tailnbacks #traffic #
• Sucks to be southbound on the M1. http://mypict.me/uuyd #
• RT @BrianLynch: Disney acquires Marvel. Dreams of Spider-Man/Kermit/Roger Rabbit crossover one step closer to fruition. #
• RT @BrianLynch:Disney/Marvel collab: Hannah Montana refuses to reveal secret identity, goes to war with Iron Man. Iron Man wins easily. #
• Did we pass? http://mypict.me/uvk7 #
• Hmm. I appear to have lost something. Can anyone tell me where most of this year has gone? 1st September already. #
• Holding off the snow leopard upgrade. Upgrade restores default PHP/MySQL servers and entropy.ch packages not updated. Will switch to xamp… #
• ..but that means backing up all MySQL databases and re-importing them. Too much to do today to start messing around with that. #
• Installed XAMPP, now restoring my dozen or so databases. All prep for Snow Leopard later today. Thankfully we use SVN for files. #
• Posted a very crude fix for #openid and #php 5.3.0. It works for me, your mileage may vary: http://bit.ly/75×46 #
• Smells like rain. I love that smell. #
• Ah. Thunder. Rumble away. #
• So, #gmail was down? I didn't notice. Doubt anyone else did either. No one really uses it. #
• I was being sarcastic. I know gazillions of people use gmail and most of them were pouring their angst into twitter. #
• And on that note – goodnight! Remember, the world ends when Twitter, GMail and Facebook go down together. #
• Snow Leopard working well so far. Few minor apps don't work. No big deal. Nice to see Coda not using 1gb ram after being left overnight. #
• RT @zef: If there is a baby boom in 9 months time we will blame Google. #GMAIL #downtime (via @Christiane, @Sadache) #
• Back into MSSQL I go. Wish me luck. If I'm not back in a few hours, call a sysadmin. #
• Ah. Windows. So IE via remote desktop won't allow me to add trusted sites to download a zip. Oh well, wget still works. #
• Trying to get into Kings of Leon. Kind of want to give the singer a throat lozenge. #
• Beat my way through a full upgrade with MSSQL (IP.Board, Gallery, Blog and Downloads). It's finishing now. I winced all the way through it. #
• Mostly productive day. Just about wrapped up MSSQL for all apps. Hopefully few bugs. Few issues dealt with from QA feedback. #
• I see that @ThatKevinSmith has been very busy on Twitter today. Funny as always although I suspect that his tweets are written by Apatow. in reply to ThatKevinSmith #
• Reading ArsT review of Snow Leopard (late, I know). Apple's clever way of storing files is just brilliant. http://bit.ly/2TvNpZ Amazing #
• Found a bunch of backup CDs dating back to 2003. How did I cope before Time Machine? #
• Spent a ridiculous amount of time writing a script that takes a list of paths of changed files from svn diff and prints a nice HTML list. #
• Hey, we slipped #ipb 3.0.3 out the door. Don't tell anyone, but it's ready for download now! #
• So. After a few days I conclude that a few songs apart, Kings of Leon are a bit on the rubbish side. Samey frothy middle of the road rock. #
• Much like a less redneck version of Nickleback. #
• "Sex on Fire" is a good song though. As is "Use Somebody". "Manhattan" is like a throaty old John Mayer. #
• Back to Radiohead's OK Computer while I re-apply gel to my emo fringe and think about writing some more poetry. #
• Our dog could be in "Cancer Can't Keep a Good Dog Down Calendar" http://bit.ly/NQthL Money 4 charity: $1 buys 1 vote! *VOTE BARNEYM* thanks #
• MSSQL Friday Forum Fun with @tomarse99. I'm going to slip him some cider and disappear. #
• "An army marches on its stomach". That HAS to be painful. #
• Fighting with MSSQL. Can't use comparison operators on text and varchar? Helpful, MS, very helpful. I get why. But still. #
• RT @charleswarner: Classic #IPB skins: http://bit.ly/ubUGk #
• Innocently flossing away. Something got stuck between my teeth. I picked it out, turned it over in my hand and realised it was a filling. #
• Kings of Lynn. We're off to a quiet little beach in Norfolk today. http://mypict.me/xrj1 #
• Loved @wossy's show. Watched it on sky+ this morning. Laughed like a little girl most of the way through. Mika / Gervais mash up perfect. #
• Beautiful. http://mypict.me/xuxZ #
• I know what @LukesMummy was thinking. #
• On our way to Milton Keynes. Will visit the Apple Store while we're there. Need a time capsule. #
• Mmmmmm TGIs http://mypict.me/y7hW #
• Mmmmmm lunch. http://mypict.me/y838 #
