  • 11:25 @ianwheat Can you say jailbreak/unlock? #
  • 11:30 @ianwheat It's the data plans that get me down. What's the minimum, again, like $70? #
  • 11:30 @tcampbell1000 LOL #
  • 11:35 @ianwheat I'm on my mom's plan still ($10!), and Leah's on her own Verizon plan. Will look into it. $20 would change EVERYTHING #
  • 11:41 @ianwheat What we need is Google Voice. I assume you're already waiting for an invite. #
  • 13:48 My Thursday night is over-scheduled. Currently, four competing plans. I know what I'm going with, but honestly--I'm doing nothing tonight! #
  • 14:59 Sleepy puppy is sleepy #
  • 15:03 I don't don't don't don't want to upgrade my 1G iPod Touch to 3.0 firmware--jailbreak is testy, and I've heard it's slow and crashy. Anyone? #
  • 17:58 The wife and I agree: When you need to go up to print something off, nothing helps like DropBox. #
  • 18:29 @stirfrizzell I loved Flatland. Makes me want to read any of the one-offs by other authors: "Spaceland," "Cubeland," etc. #
  • 18:42 @stirfrizzell Spend an afternoon and try it out--it's super-short. www.gutenberg.org/etext/97 (Check out the low Gutenberg number) #
  • 18:52 @stirfrizzell Nope, but full up right now: Reading Moby-Dick with new Boethius trans on my wait list. #
  • 18:58 @stirfrizzell 1/5 through it and I can't stop telling everyone about it. Moby-Dick is AMAZING #
  • 19:08 Playing Mother/Earthbound Zero. What a long walk back from the factory to Merryville. I think I'll let myself die and revive at last save. #
  • 20:47 Killed all the blackberry thorns among my beloved honeysuckles, then threaded more honeysuckle through the fence. Now super-mosquito-eaten. #

  • 15:39 @jongordon More for posting than for reading, but have you tried using Gnome-Do to tweet? #
  • 16:30 Just (finally) posted my Wednesday devotional talk from week before last: amshull.blogger.com/ #
  • 18:40 Oops--URL wrong in last tweet due to Blogger/Blogspot annoyance. My devo, "Righteousness and Self-Righteousness": bit.ly/wGJX2 #

  • 16:00 Mowed the front lawn, now overheated. Don't think the back lawn's getting done before 6. #

  • 17:27 I'm back from the mountains. From morning to now, I've seen a variance of 40 degrees, all going up. Now I've got internet tho--call it a tie #
  • 17:41 @DevoidofContent I've started to read Yiddish Policeman's Union, and know I need to read more. #
  • 21:39 Back from camping, one of my first tasks was shaving off the vacation-beard. Boy, it feels better to be clean-shaven. #

  • 16:16 About to go camping, off the grid. By next Mon., I expect Firefox 3.5, Google Voice, and things to come to a real head in Iran. #

  • 09:50 Just clipped the dog's toenails for the first time. Neither of us enjoyed it. No problems, but we were both really tense. #
  • 13:25 @sgott Reload Google Reader. #

  • 07:25 Weird. Are Google and Facebook down for anyone else? By Google, I mean ALL OF GOOGLE from homepage to Reader. #
  • 08:16 So far, sites I can't connect to: Anything Google, anything Facebook, and Feedburner. @googlefail #
  • 08:18 Thank you, Twitter Search--seven more people say Google is Down for them. Great. #
  • 08:23 @G_Wake Comcast, actually, and I've already called them. The entire rest of the internet works, just not Google or Facebook (or Feedburner). #
  • 08:27 @Umatter2Charter Several reports on Twitter of Charter subscribers having Google/Facebook outages. Can you verify? #
  • 08:29 Searching Twitter for Google/Facebook results in 2 types: New Farsi Support and Tennessee Charter outages. Are they connected?? #
  • 08:31 Okay, so that last note was ridiculous. #
  • 08:32 @G_Wake The IP address works, but with no images (all served from another page). I'm thinking... DNS issues? Serious DNS issues. #
  • 08:34 @G_Wake LOLs aplenty. #
  • 08:36 Well, time to stop complaining about Google/Facebook outages on Charter internet in Tennessee and go grocery shopping. Maybe it'll blow over #
  • 10:04 @Umatter2Charter Woo! Thanks so much!! #
  • 10:04 Charter Google/Facebook issue resolved. Awesome. #
  • 14:45 @chadlandman TIME FOR JAILBREAK #
  • 14:47 Had a good day--did/doing some laundry, had a good lunch, got networking to work on VirtualBox and installed D&D Char Gen. Tonight: Trek TNG #
  • 15:58 @ianwheat Toyota What? #
  • 15:58 @patricox Ooh man I LOVE false cognates. Sweeeeeeet. I wish I could remember my favorite--right on the edge of my mind. #
  • 16:00 @ianwheat @wilsonjohn Agreed! 140 characters means "work on your revision skills." Remember Strunk's Maxim: "Make Every Word Tell." #
  • 17:19 @chadlandman That's the way to do it--leapfrogging generations is always joyful. #
  • 19:55 @ianwheat The basic dispute seems to be "Are Apps the sole deciding factor?" For me, yes--so I'd never use other than my apps' host. #
  • 19:56 @ianwheat Now... If someone could write a compatibility layer... Android is Linux, iPhone is Unix-like... #

  • 08:28 Leah doesn't have to be at work till 10, so we're going to the gym early. Cool! #
  • 17:06 Any other iPod Touch 1G people out there on the fence about upgrading to 3.0 firmware? I'm thinking, "I already paid $10 for 2.0..." #
  • 17:06 Getting ready for my devo tonight. If you can read this, here's a spoiler: pride. #
  • 22:46 Passing truck with super-bass makes me think my phone is ringing on silent. For juuust too long. #
  • 22:47 And oh by the way: devo went well. Who knows, I may post the text at some point. #

  • 14:02 Israel agrees to peace with demilitarized Palestinian state? How are they supposed to be an independent state with no military? #
  • 18:43 @chadlandman In my mind, they're like calculus after a toddler recopied the problem halfway through: utterly impossible to truly solve #
  • 18:45 @wilsonjohn @wilsonlaura SUPER ULTRA MAMBO TANGO FOXTROT CONGRATS! Also, Leah says that's how much she weighed when she was born. #

  • 15:52 @worldstechpod @patricox The genius is the pause button. But thanks--both of your shows are the beginning of my podweek (Fri to Thurs) #
  • 15:55 Weired out by liquid noises all around me. I look up, dog chewing and cat licking paw on either side. Kind of an unsettling sound, really. #

  • 12:37 @chadlandman Well very nice then! #
  • 12:38 @eea49 Must be an Hispanic person standing in the lobby, just speaking aloud. Why that's useful, I'll never know. #
  • 12:40 Got back from taking a friend to the bus station. Glad for the opportunity: if you don't drop off a friend, you're not a good friend. #

  • 16:18 ARG Delicious Library!! I love updating you but I want the iPhone app now!! I don't want to wait any more! #
  • 16:54 Thinking about switching from Charter Cable to AT&T DSL: No problems with Charter, but it's more than a little more expensive. #
  • 18:31 @Umatter2Chtr2 My mom's on AT&T paying $40-something with a phone+internet bundle, $20 of that net; I'm at $55, no desire for TV or phone. #
