Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-02-21

• Found this classic Simpsons game from 1991 unloved in the corner of an arcade. Still works. http://tweetphoto.com/11383296 #
• My son the consummate gambler. http://tweetphoto.com/11383526 #
• From the other night: The ginger Ninja beating up his Daddy. http://tweetphoto.com/11383780 #
• One potato, two potato, three potato… Carb crash #paleo Speaking of: any ideas what to do with pure steak burgers? #
• Morning twitter. Any recommendations for a large mousepad suitable for an optical mouse? #
• Thanks for the mat suggestions, Went with an everglide titan. Find a std mouse mat too small and often 'fall off'. #
• Just ordered a MX revolution also. My old logitech is looking a bit beaten up underneath. Hours I spend at a computer justify price. #
• And having two monitors to navigate, I do a lot of moving around. #
• Rather enjoying Green Day at the moment. Sorry neighbours. Ironically, loudish music helps me concentrate. #
• Fighting with JS is the fun. I blame Rikki's popUp class. It creates a new DIV with the same ID as the previous popUp. #
• $$('#blah-' + id + '_popup' ).each( function( id ) { id.hide() } ); FTW #
• Just removed my timeline from #buzz. Seems rather annoying being emailed about my own tweets. Can't see a way to turn off email notification #
• Debbie is at the cinema, so Luke and I are alone. I'm thinking we have a boys night. Beer, pizza and Die Hard on DVD. #
• Don't let me forget to wheel our black bin out tonight. Thanks. #
• Working on #ipb 3.1 today. All very exciting. Can't wait for it to be released. New framework is maturing very nicely. #
• Listening to Travis' excellent "The Man Who". Still sounds wonderful 11 years on. #
• I wish PHP and Javascript would get together and agree on a single concatenation operator. Repeat to self: + is for JS, not PHP… #
• While we're having a good moan about Javascript. Let's be consistent with camelCase. I'm talking to you, setTimeout. #
• I just discovered that when you have a broken photo in #ipb, it displays a nice little ASCII slapped bottom. http://bit.ly/94Zkut #
• My new MX Revolution mouse turned up this morning. Haven't had a chance to plug it in yet. #
• MX Performance mouse all set up. Very nice action even without a mat. Good weight too. #
• Famcy mouse. http://tweetphoto.com/11592992 #
• #paleo pancakes: 1/2 banana, 2 tps almond butter and 2 eggs. Yummy. http://tweetphoto.com/11598306 #
• Lady GaGa is a bit weird, isn't she. #Brits. She's dressed as Big Bird's evil nemesis Slightly Weird Bird. #
• Working on a nothing little 'thing' for #ipb 3.1. I am excited about this one. Not a massive new feature but lovely just the same. #
• RT @ipb: Toyota = screwed http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8519534.stm – Side note, President is "Toyoda". Wise, he is(nt). #
• Spent a rather annoying 40 minutes chasing a strange bug in the template parser. Damn you greedy regex matching. Odd it hasn't shown before. #
• Phew. busy day. Metaphorical blisters on my fingers. #ipb 3.1 is shaping up nicely. #
• Must remember to turn off my mouse at the end of the working day. #
• Luke sporting a rather cool "hair-do". http://tweetphoto.com/11692278 #
• Goodness. Still hard at work on #ipb 3.1. Tying up a few loose ends today. Maybe a blog about that in a few days or so. #
• It's really snowing here in Peterborough. Settling quite nicely already. Everything is white. #
• Snow. Lots of. http://tweetphoto.com/11769876 #
• Oh god. I have the resident Sainsbury's carrier-bag nazi. He acts like handing out a free bag is staining his soul. #
• Luke is clearing the front room of all his toys. Sadly he is using the hall as a temporary storage location. #
• Hands up anyone still using Google's #buzz? #
• Ah yes. I am endlessly frustrated by unskippable trailers and warnings http://bit.ly/cYqnIE link /via @Fr3d_org @williamtm #
• Modern Wisdom: If you can't think of anything nice to say, Tweet it instead. #
• Top tip: Feeling aggrieved by a loved one or friend? Make a generic but threatening Facebook update vaguely in their direction. #
• Large cup of coffee required. #
• Have to take the car in today. Last night it told me "Catalytic Convertor Failure" then "Anti Pollution Failure". Can't be good. #
• Rather enjoying The Doves this morning. The prog rock band, not a bunch of white feathered flappy things. #
• I make that coffee o'clock! #
• Listening to Luke crying his heart out other something then a millisecond pause "Mmm cake" as he was passed a cupcake. Just like his daddy. #
• He's crying again. I think he wants more cake. Mind you, that's how I get cake too. #
• Just finished Pixar's "Up". Beautiful film. Manages to be funny and sad. Very touching account of love, loss and moving on. #
• "Tiger Woods" sounds like a zoo attraction. #
• Live #eastenders was pretty good. Few fluffed lines and few dodgy shots but that's live TV. Good way of celebrating 25 years. #
• Coffee. Bacon, eggs and mushrooms. The best way to start a Sunday. #
• Snow at Ferry Meadows, Peterborough. http://tweetphoto.com/12076214 #
• Apple are starting them young. http://tweetphoto.com/12083895 #
