Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-08-08

• Portal to hell is about to open. #
• Yum http://twitpic.com/2aoyce #
• Portal to hell is about to open. http://twitpic.com/2aoyxd #
• On our way home. Very tired and in need of a shower. Feeling a bit fragile after eating loads of junk. #
• Found this on my door mat when I got in. #mactard http://twitpic.com/2b0aak #
• Gave in and applied one of those horrid iPhone screen protectors. Keep shoving it into my pocket full of change and keys. #
• So now my iPhone has a few tiny scratches. Although the few trapped fibres and tiny bubbles under the protector drive me crazy #
• Actually. I don't recall ordering the trackpad. I suspect the iPhone did it itself. Its like SkyNet for shiny products. #
• Tempted to do an unboxing video. Rip open packet. Shake box until product falls out. Fin. #
• Magic Trackpad: Also holds iPhone at a better viewing angle. http://twitpic.com/2b0ua3 #
• New bank pledges to openly despise its customers http://j.mp/aSgd4C (NSFW) #
• "What's the worst that can happen? You fall off and break your neck" Alex says to Katie Price, echoing the hopes of a nation. #
• Good morning ladies and gentlefolk. Back to work today. Tuesday is the new Monday. #
• Messing around with my magic trackpad. First impressions good. Can't think of a thing it can't do my mouse can't. #
• Only thing to get used to is finger accuracy. Used to pushing a pointer around with a mouse so a touch slower with the pad. Still good. #
• Rumour has it that Blackberry is working on "BlackPad" an iPad clone. Is there a market for that? Ugly interface on a larger scale? #
• Totally slipped my mind that the new Arcade Fire album has been released. Downloading now! Eagerly anticipated! #
• The new @arcadefire album is joyous and sublime. Definitely their best yet. #
• Black bumper arrived and is on my iPhone. Actually quite like the look. Not too "grabby" when pulling from a pocket. Helps grip in use. #
• One wonders if the iPhones were meant to have some kind of fixed bumper on them at some point of the design process. #
• Enjoying the trackpad. Could replace my mouse but unsure if I want to. Interesting to see if iOs Desktop makes more use of it. #
• The magnificent Green Mile is on the tellybox. What a wonderful film. #
• Morning all! Working on Gallery again today. Specifically a node class to maintain complex relationships between objects. #
• Node class kicking my bottom today. Almost finished with the core stuff. Will roll it out for #ipb at some point. Will be used in Gallery. #
• I wonder how long until we see the "Google Waves Goodbye" punning after Google axes the service. Not long apparently. #
• Actually, I'm devastated that Google Wave has been axed. I use it every day to ….um…. #
• If you want to really annoy everyone around you, simply turn your iPhone up full, load the Twitter app and flick the refresh up and down. #
• Watching "TVs Naughtiest Blunders". I would imagine this is used as the in flight entertainment on the way to hell. #
• I feel that Google is on its decline, don't you? Too late for social media, lost edge on real time search and nowhere to go but down. #
• I think that traditional web searching will be an anachronism in a few years. New ways to share and discover content. #
• If I was them, I'd buy Tumblr. It sits nicely between Facebook, Blogging and Twitter. Adopted well and growing. It's the next big thing! #
• Lots of interesting points but all big companies have their day. AOL, Compuserve, Yahoo and more. What goes up must come down. #
• Or course google will be here for years but the web is changing. Facebook is a walled garden. Twitter does live search. Mobile is apps #
• And if Jobs has his way, iOs Desktop will replace OS X so one wonders if web apps will become more prominent. #
• One has to question a civilization that worships in an invisible deity but resists the notion that other life exists in our endless universe #
• Late night controversial tweeting is probably a bad idea. Night all! #
• I have a theory that files are a very advanced race and have perfected teleportation. They appear and disappear constantly. #
• Anyway, back to work. My recursive node class is almost finished. If this fly would stop bugging me, things would be almost perfect. #
• My thoughts are entirely consumed by teleporting flies now. Perhaps they can bend time and space too. They couldn't tell us in either case. #
• I wonder if Jeff Goldblum knows after his DNA was merged with a fly? Anyone got his email? #
• Perhaps that's why flies haven't really evolved. There's only a few thousand in the world and they zip through time and space. #
• I am beginning to suspect that node inheritance has caused me to lose my mind. #
• Needed to pull unique user sessions from the DB without post processing and avoid dupe member rows/dupe bot rows – http://bit.ly/dyrRKz #
• I think Twitter should allow you to "Follow" someone to get their status updates and "stalk" someone to get their foursquare updates. #
• Morning all, BTW. More gallery stuff today. Maybe I'll even get to code some of the front end today. #
• Technically, I'm more popular than Jesus. He only had 12 followers. #
• I got kicked out of the local orchestra I am exceptionally good but so shy that I didn't want to blow my own trumpet. #
• Must stop procrastinating. Taken apart Gallery to the point where it's completely broken to its very core. Might release it as 'gold'. #
• Probably the fastest way to flush out calls to the now dead category class – http://bit.ly/dkJU9t #
• Finished my #ipb gallery album/category merge script and plugged it up to the new node class – http://bit.ly/dl9sGO – Progress! #
• SVN REVERT! I've changed my mind about the Gallery! #
• This sums up today so far #emoProgramming http://twitpic.com/2c2k62 #
• Look what I made! http://twitpic.com/2c2qkp #
• http://twitvid.com/1NGEW – The iBird flaps! Looks a bit dodgy though. That's definitely its tail. Promise. #
• Head is throbbing. Time to listen to @sigur_ros' Ágætis byrjun – always relaxes me to the point of sleep. Beautiful song. #
• Taken with an iPhone 4 http://twitpic.com/2c5oj5 #
• Got pets? Eat them in this order: http://twitpic.com/2cczri #
• A little obsessed with the SAS Survival App. Fascinating and disturbing. #
• Last one: nuclear bombs falling? Start digging! http://twitpic.com/2cd72v #
• I feel sorry for my Blackberry. Sitting on my desk all alone, flashing its red LED solemnly. Unloved and unrequired. Just like Super Ted. #
• Anyone want to swap a 'droid phone for a 9700? Comes with Luke's teeth marks free. #
• He was pulling the phone out of it's sleeve using his teeth hmmm. #
• Right. Time to sleep. Night all! #
• I think the biggest problem with Blackberry is the inability to efficiently pluralize them. Blackberries? Blackberrys? And the crap OS. #
• Today's t- shirt. A bargain at £3. http://twitpic.com/2crcvy #
