Richard’s Tweets for 2008-04-20

  • @cory_grimes Me too! Let’s play games over twitter! … … Wait, no. That’s silly. #
  • @cory_grimes Yeah, it’s me. I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to bear any resemblance to anyone but myself. :/ #
  • @BradyV I think we’re going to have to stage an intervention. Hit. The. Pause. Button. #
  • Remember when the Firefox 1.0 full-page ad was in the New York Times? I just found my poster-board-backed copy. How awesome. #
  • My router just rebooted itself for no apparent reason. I’m confused and a little scared. #
  • It was a scheduled reboot for 4AM on Sundays and the router’s time zone was incorrect. Fixed. Remember folks, time zones are important. #
  • @Yhatzee Your link to your blog on your twitter page should have a period rather than an ampersand. But, good stuff. #
  • @anelegantsonnet Lies! It has plenty of use. It’s like peace - you have to give it a chance. #
  • Thinking about the end of high school is like thinking about my mortality. I don’t want to die and I don’t want high school to end… yet. #
  • @88michael That’s such a good point. Perspective always fascinates me. But, I haven’t been rushing it along all that much. #
  • @Kabren There’s a lot of crying ahead in my life. A lot of it. So scary, but it will end up being so excited in not too long. I hope. #
  • Am I a hypocrite by giving up TV in favor of many podcasts, or is audio fundamentally different than video? Or, does it depend on the shows? #
  • Due to money, logistics, lodging, and a birthday in the family, I will not be attending Podcamp NYC. There will be others. #
  • You know how Google is a staple of our lives, can’t imagine living without it? I wonder if twitter or other networks will get to that point. #
  • Twittering from the Apple Store on a BlackBook. Wheeee! #
  • @krisbjorkman It used to transition nicely in Tiger, right? It’s in Leopard now that everything stinks. #
  • Bought a hoodie for five dollars today. That’s called a clearance, folks. #
  • @krisbjorkman For instance, tracks played in Front Row don’t scrobble on last.fm. Bah, I hate it (and now rarely use it). #
  • @krisbjorkman Showing off to normal peeps: Front Row, Time Machine. Showing off to tech peeps: Unix, account portability, target disk. :) #
  • After a chat with @krisbjorkman I remember why I love Mac OS X so much. I sometimes get caught up in its minor flaws and forget its merits. #

  • Just wired my closet with a gigabit ethernet cable. No, the server nor the router are gigabit, but I figured I wouldn’t want to rewire. #
  • Having a computer doing bittorrent, FTP, VNC, and SSH tunneling in one’s closet is SO cool. #
  • Twitter, I’m not questioning your patriotism… but do you believe in the American flag? #
  • Just because I stopped using digg doesn’t mean I stopped watching diggnation. Good stuff. #
  • I wore shorts today for the first time this year. I wonder why it took me this long… Have you broken out the shorts yet? #
  • "Optimizations to increase system speed." Twitter, I’m interested. Talk to me. Maybe we can work something out. #
  • What a beautiful day here in suburban New York. Sun is shining, warm, slight breeze, flowers and animals. What will I do with this gift? #
  • Anyone ever read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland? #
  • @dennisbest I don’t follow those people back. :P #
  • "Is it better to be objective in our decision making, or should our relationships play a role?" ~@stephenparker My answer: http://is.gd/7q2 #
  • Life’s not a zero sum game, but it people behave recklessly toward others and the planet, it’ll be a negative sum game. Then, we all lose. #
  • I sometimes wonder how many people I’d kill for a 13" MacBook Pro. I miss my 12" PowerBook G4. Greatest machine I’ve ever used. #
  • @krisbjorkman It’s a really great RSS reader. RSS readers are just begging to be web apps. #

Richard’s Tweets for 2008-04-18

  • I love the new podcast, You Look Nice Today. Hilariously awesome. #
  • @krisbjorkman I don’t know when, but if they’re going to do it, it’d be after 60, I’d think. #
  • @krisbjorkman Oh well, so much for an educated guess. :P #
  • @BradyV The almighty dollar, unfortunately. #
  • Mac graphics people - Acorn or Pixelmator? #
  • I ask about those graphics apps because I’d be so happy if I didn’t have to put Adobe Fireworks on my new install of Leopard. #
  • @BradyV Thanks! Checking it out now. #
  • Sometimes I wish I didn’t come from a small town. Mass transit almost scares me. I need to get over that. #
  • @Yhatzee We’ll see what I can do. #
  • Where am I going to college? Good question. I shall think about this tomorrow. For now, sleep! Goodnight Internet. Take care of yourselves. #
  • @BradyV It was more of a rhetorical question, indicative of my current internal conflict. But, I do appreciate the answer. :D #
  • @emmaleona I haven’t, but I’m working on it. Working, working, working. Thanks for asking. :] #
  • @JasonCalacanis Don’t get too excited. The title might end up being "Jason Calacanis: The Unauthorized Story of an Internet Douche". :P #
  • dramatically woke from nightmare about unsafe high school… that one will be with me for a while #
  • @Yhatzee I’d buy it. #
  • I’m feeling oddly "do nothing" today. Perhaps food and a shower will change that. I hope. It must. Hazzah! #
  • @Pistachio Great idea. It’s like a "Getting started with _______" page. #
  • Watching The Story of Stuff, a story of how our system of production is overall harmful and unsustainable. http://www.storyofstuff.com/ #
  • "What the point of an ad besides to make us unhappy with what we have?" #
  • @cspenn Of course, of course. :P I’m just feeling discontented today. #
  • @Mickeleh That’s so upsetting. :/ #
  • @krisbjorkman I. Can’t. Stand. That. Same thing goes for songs and places, especially places. #
  • There are two types of people in the world… those who use exclamation marks liberally, and those who do not!!!!! #
  • Twitter, I have a category of posts on wordpress I want people to read like a story, back-to-front. Any plugin to make that reading easier? #
  • @GrammarGirl Yeah, my iTunes just downloaded your latest episode again. It’s not a problem, just letting you know. #
  • Connecting to facebook via https is super-slow compared to the via http. Facebook, make your SSL faster! #
  • Oh my God… Tekzilla is sooooooo novice-user. I’m spoiled by more technical podcasts. #
  • @cory_grimes That’s what I love about journaling - going back and reading about how I’ve changed. #
  • I’m feeling so unmotivated right now and I don’t know why. Just a temporary funk, I’m thinking and hoping. #

  • Thanks to @dennisbest and @Katrinskaya I know that the debate I missed tonight was useless. #
  • I’m vicariously disappointed in Barack tonight. I mean, slightly. You know how it goes. #
  • I didn’t even see the debate, but I’m mad at ABC. #
  • My sister is sick. :( Must have been something she ate? Aww. #
  • Goodnight Twitter, from Boston! #
  • @geoffmanning It’s a possibility that I may be in Boston a whole lot more in the future. Obviously, I’ll keep you posted. #
  • How come I didn’t know about You Look Nice Today earlier? This sounds great. #
  • Good morning Boston! #
  • Can only contact VNC and Bittorrent on my server at home. FTP and SSH not working. Bah! Configuration! #
  • I’m pretty sure the hotel is blocking ssh and http://ftp. Those bastards! #
  • Interarchy - Interesting mac FTP client. Check it out. http://nolobe.com/interarchy/ #
  • Alright, time to pack up and leave the hotel in a bit. Then, I’m paying @cspenn a visit while I’m in town. Then, 3.5 hour drive home! :D #
  • @bethdunn I’m thinking about it. I’m seriously thinking about it. :) #
  • @bethdunn My gut fails me, but I have time. My gut may just speak up sometime soon. #
  • @bethdunn Why would anyone want to set up WinXP? Windows Vista is the next generation experience from Microsoft, complete with features!!! #
  • Had a great lunch with @cspenn today. Yummy pizza with college/social media talk, for the win. #

  • Facebook Lexicon (like Google Trends) on Obama and Clinton: http://tinyurl.com/55q8c8 #
  • @fordo Hey, don’t mess with the lovely Westchester County airport. :P #
  • Twitter… I don’t even know what to say anymore. #
  • Packing for my trip to the Boston area tomorrow. #
  • Ever have one of those moments where your entire body just feels uncomfortable? How do you get out of them? #
  • If you have five minutes, this response to a patent infringement claim will entertain you. http://tinyurl.com/696tyd Hat tip, @acedtect #
  • The browser used for a screenshot on the TinyURL site is Mozilla (now Seamonkey) with a quasi-Netscape look. How about getting modern? #
  • @acedtect Tom "Macbeth" Merritt? #
  • Sleep. Waking up early and driving to Boston. Goodnight peeps! As Ze says, remember to floss. #
  • @anjrued It feels so wonderful, doesn’t it? I’ve been off of it for more than a year and a half, now. Wonderful. #
  • @bethdunn Give it baaaaccccckkkkkk! #
  • Alright, I’m off to Boston, people. I’ll tell you how I’m doing later. Up, up, and away! #
  • Hotel in Boston, looking out over Somerville, MA. #

  • @cc_chapman You’re still amazed at people’s stupidity? You’ve got some idealism kicking around in you. It’s a positive trait. #
  • @leolaporte Not yet. I wish. #
  • Remember when Opera had ads? Wow. #
  • Wrote a post on why I stopped using digg while reminiscing about the good times. http://richardmondello.com/2008/04/14/undugg/ #
  • Did you know I was on diggnation 13 for the story, Jobs Says Pirates Will "Burn in Hell". Good times, but that was years ago. #
  • @cory_grimes Don’t take it personally. It’s just twitter. People add and remove people based on their current interests. #
  • Just reinstalled Mac OS X Leopard, finally. Restoring apps, settings, and user files now. #
  • I miss new builds of Quicksilver. Quicksilver is half the reason I use a mac. #
  • @shultquist The greatest. Make sure what you’re looking for is in the catalog. Spotlight for everything, Quicksilver for actions and apps. #
  • Just had a major craving for a chocolate chip cookie. Note: I haven’t eaten chocolate in three years. (Now this is valuable content, right?) #
  • @shultquist Without going as far as to reset your spotlight index, I do not know. #
  • I’d buy an OpenPro. http://tinyurl.com/5t8×2k #
  • @Mickeleh Lead? Come on, he doesn’t have a lead. He’s not even ready to lead! He insults his own people! Elitist shmuck. </sarcasm> #
  • @krisbjorkman We all have those moments, feel better. </Get well tweet.> #
  • Using ChronoSync to automatically sync with a mounted TrueCrypt volume is producing corrupted files. Not as elegant as I had hoped. #
  • ChronoSync loves deleting my entire sync folder. Thank goodness for backups. There isn’t a clean solution for mac/PC USB key encryption yet. #
  • Something doesn’t exist unless it exists in two places. Have you backed up your data recently? #
  • @iansltx If I wasn’t cheap, I’d use Mozy. It’s a really elegant solution. I use Time Machine with my MacBook Pro. #
  • @cory_grimes That’s good! But how lost would you be without your desktop configuration? Gotta back it all up. ;) #
  • Obama lays the smack down? http://tinyurl.com/5naun5 #
  • Restarting my Time Machine archive. And if that goes as planned, I can stop twittering geeky stuff for a few hours. :) #
  • Two things: Internet Superstar is hilarious, and backlit keyboards are so awesome. #
  • @cory_grimes What upload speeds do you have? You’ve been going at it for a long time. #
  • @krisbjorkman I have a crush on Ellen Page, and I’m perfectly okay admitting that to all of twitter. #
  • @iansltx Totally agree with the iPhone MicroDVI. But, component cables might do the job on a higher end projector… but it still stinks. #
  • @Yhatzee No prob. #
