Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-10

by Matt Mecham on January 10, 2010

  • It's the mother of all Monday mornings tomorrow. The one where you have to do all the stuff you put off before Christmas. #
  • I hate TV adverts. They assume the viewer has been lobotomised. #
  • Just about to watch The Final Destination 3D complete with cardboard specs. Don't tell me the plot, I want it to be a surprise. ;) #
  • Remember years ago when sister was leaving to see Sixth Sense at the cinema; older brother blurted: "Bruce Willis is a ghost" to her. #
  • The Final Destination much better than expected. Usual splatter pap but fairly inventive and 3D effects quite cool. #
  • Oh #CBB has started. Didn't Vinnie Jones have a career? Oh well, he hasn't now. Usual mix of mingers, singers and losers. Shan't watch. #
  • Did #CBB really just parody a NSPCC / homeless children advert for "comedy"? Classy. #
  • Must go to sleep. Have to reprogram my body clock so I wake at 6am. Night! #
  • Morning all! And so the year begins. Lots to catch up on today. #
  • Upgraded @UberTwiter to newest beta. Incredibly slick. Bubble mode looks great on my bold. Loads of cool new stuff! #
  • Just seen "The Hangover". Probably the funniest film I've seen in a very long time. Just brilliant. #
  • Right! Must sleep. Up in just over 6 hours. Night all! (: (that's for @KierDarby) in reply to KierDarby #
  • I'm in danger of actually writing some code for the first time this year. Busy day yesterday catching up and planning with @CharlesWarner #
  • Messing around with Twitter oAuth. It's interesting. #
  • The Twitter oAuth API is incredibly sexy. That makes me a giant geek, but it's still true. #
  • Day no.2 of my (mostly) #paleo eating (refuse to use word diet). Using twitter for recipies. Going well but need to do a shop. #
  • Time to sleep! Night all! #
  • In desperate need of a coffee. #
  • So, who's still using Google Wave daily? Anyone? No? #
  • I think there must be a giant umbrella above Peterborough. News shows major snow in most areas of the UK and all we have is a light dusting #
  • When Google's autocomplete gets weird: http://autocompleteme.com/ #
  • Spent a small while debugging Twitters oAuth "invalid application" error message. Turns out Twitter decided to make my test app "Invalid" #
  • No idea why. I just deleted it and created a new one. Rather annoying. Maybe the use of IP.Board and other trademarks worried them. #
  • Or maybe my flood of test connections did it. Would ask them but I doubt I'll get an answer. #
  • About 1cm (yes, cm) in Peterborough PE3 #uksnow #
  • First attempt at #paleo pancakes. Tasty. 1/4 cup ground almond, 1/4 cup dessicated coconut and 2 eggs. Easy. http://mypict.me/2FJ9U #
  • If alcohol is a social lubricant, then coffee is most definitely a programming lubricant. #
  • Just curious: Does a can of "whoop ass" have a ring pull, or will I need a can opener? #
  • RT @johngirvin: @serafinowicz No, *I* am leaving the BBC! << No, I am! [ NO, I AM AND SO IS MY WIFE!] #
  • Been a busy day today. Sorry for the silence (or apologies for breaking it). Lots of exciting developments at IPS. #
  • Chilly – Frozen Britain as seen from space. http://bit.ly/8Cplgq Very "cool". #
  • Ut oh, cable internet is down. Any issues in PE3, @virginmedia? Will call shortly. in reply to virginmedia #
  • Phoned @virginmedia. No known issue, technician booked for Tuesday. Hope it resolves itself. #
  • Hmmmm. What to do. Guess I can work on a few #ipb bits on my localhost. #
  • Appreciate my #blackberry more when cable is down. Still have email, AIM and web. #
  • Just got a txt msg from @virginmedia – "We have an issue in your area which is affecting your services." Tech visit canceled. Up soon. Yay. #
  • Oh, and the internet magically came back on. Thanks @virginmedia switch thrower! #
  • Coffee, chorizo and almonds. Not mixed together. That would be disgusting. #
  • Must purchase a replacement bulb for my desk light. It's getting hard to see what I'm typing. *Squint* #
  • This year's must-have iPhone accessory! I want one! http://bit.ly/6ATioW /link via @MacFormat #
  • Happy weekend to you all. That's me done for the week. Enjoy yours! #
  • Watched Jennifer Lynch's "Surveillance". A little surreal as you'd expect but quite gripping with a good twist. #
  • Aaaw. A very cheeky little boy. (Debbie took the picture). http://mypict.me/2Jm40 #
  • Wow. 12:40am. Explains why I feel like a pumpkin. Night all! #
  • The phrase "you can't please everyone" certainly rings true. Hopefully we please most, though. #
  • Finally got some decent #uksnow in Peterborough last night. http://mypict.me/2KjFG #
  • Although now I'm sat in a hot car in a ski jacket drinking a hot coffee. Can't undo jacket as velcro tabs will wake Luke. #
  • I wish Apple would just announce/release their iSlate thing so we can stop speculating based on a Taiwan factory buying minor components. #
  • Spent a minor fortune in M&S on steak, bacon, salmon, chicken, berries, spinach, broccoli and asparagus. Yummy #paleo food. #
  • Watched Sandler's "Zohan". Awful, awful film. Didn't get it at all. Too esoteric. #
  • Time to sleep. Night all! #
  • Those Cheryl Cole shampoo adverts make me cringe. "Weak, limp and lifeless" just like your singing, dear. #
  • Morning, by the way. #
  • You win some. You lose some. Sometimes you have to lose someone to win. #cryptic #
  • I have a slight obsession with this place. http://mypict.me/2M8U2 #
