Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-12
- There were a _few_ people from BC at Geowoodstock: http://flic.kr/p/8fVgya #
- Sigh. Company is threatening me with a BlackBerry. I prefer to keep work at work. #
- Hey YVR-area Dads: Don't forget about the Tweetup at the Confederation Park trains on Saturday morning: http://bit.ly/9lSdeV #
- When your business is international, the July 4th holiday makes for a quiet day in the office. #NotComplaining #
- Can you imagine if Stanley Park were renamed? Tourists would be asking Xwichxway to Xwayxway! #
- Sigh. Too-good-to-be-true ad for whole-house rental on Craigslist is a scam. Hope it doesn't snare anyone. #
- Offered without comment: RT @acourtroom: Hey! Almost forgot, it's Touch A Boob Week! http://bit.ly/cdMjz8 #
- Is it worth reporting Craigslist scams to the VPD? Anyone know if they're even remotely interested? #
- For what it's worth, no, VPD had no interest in a rental-property Craigslist scam. >shrug< #
- BBQ'd meat product? Check. Cold hops-based bubbly water product? Check. Ahhhh. #
- Thanks to @jordanbehan who pointed out the Confederation Park trains don't start until 11 am. Moved the Tweetup time http://bit.ly/dxoUCf ! #
- Vancouver Dads Tweetup this Saturday, 11am at Confederation Park http://bit.ly/dxoUCf (Note _new_ start time!) #
- This is what a Craigslist rental scammer's email looks like #diescumdie http://yfrog.com/0rz0xmj #
- I mean, really? West Africa? Could you be a little more … clever, perhaps? #craigslist #scam #diescumdie #
- Bed time. Be awesome to each other and avoid the 419 scams. #diescumdie #
- OK all you keen DBAs: For a data logging application (100000s of data points) per "run", should I have a new table for each run, or … #
- … throw all the data points into a huge table and grab the needed data using WHEREs? #SQL #NotADBA #
- RT @IlusElu: Happy 150th birthday, Mahler! [Fortunately he lives on in the body of John Williams] #
- The breakfast humming symphony, while cute, wears thin after 5 years. #OurKidsHumWhenTheyEat #
- RT @SlvrLambStudios: Adorable @chillmonkeys hats! My little guy w/ @LeftCoastMama & @alexishinde little guys. http://twitpic.com/239jym #
- RT @SlvrLambStudios: One more from the @chillmonkeys session. @LeftCoastMama @AnthonyFloyd http://twitpic.com/239r8u #
- So, over the weekend at Geowoodstock, I managed to "grab" 2 vehicle TBs instead of "discovering" them. Oops. #GrandTheftTB #
- Dear lone female jogger in Pacific Spirit Park, unable to hear my bell or "On Your LEFT!" b/c of iPod: Yeah. You might want to rethink that. #
- With choice of an old, white, male, legal scholar for the next G-G is PMSH gearing up for a constitutional/Parliamentary battle? #cdnpoli #
- Is it just about the numbers? Linden's 16 should be hung in the rafters well before Naslund's 19 #canucks #
- Wait, nevermind, right. 16 was retired. Forgot. Nothing to see here. Carry on. #
- YVR-area Dads: Bring your kids + ride the Confederation Park trains w/ us on Sat, 11am (note new time!) http://bit.ly/9lSdeV #
- Theory: Sense of entitlement = Size of sunglasses * size of tramp stamp. Double if riding low-rider cruiser bike w/o a helmet. #
- Be careful out there. It seems the Vancouver drivers are in some sort of state of mass insanity. Feel lucky to be at work in one piece. #
- It's days like this that could push me over into being a militant cyclist. #
- RT @Tawcan: Ouch! Photogrpaher's worst nightmare. Be careful if you're a wedding photographer. http://bit.ly/9sMluj #
- Today's coding tunes brought to you by Depeche Mode. Ironically it's the non-silence I'm enjoying. #
- Waiting for code to compile leads to some very distracting conversations on Twitter… #
- RT @CityofVancouver: 1st tweep to retweet this will receive a, men's large, "one year one million bikes" t-shirt! #bikevancouver #cycling #
- RT @KQ_VanCityHall: vote on permanent bike lanes passes unanimously #Vancouver #BurrardBridge #
- It's Twitter on the radio right now! @CBCStephenQuinn @lalondetcbc @smuttysteff @Zoeyjane @moritherapy Oh my! #
- Dear Dennis Lee: I know you're this famous kids' writer and all but it's "I wish I _were_ a chocolate bar" not "was". #LikeNailsOnChalkboard #
- I think kids' literature should be grammatically correct … after all, that's what they're learning from, right? Why learn wrong? #
- I _finally_ haz iPod (Thanks @CanadaCool and Dove) #
- Friends are having "3rd Annual Engagement Party" and the theme is "The wedding", attire is wedding attire. Hmmmm… #
- Haha. As @pzmyers notes Paul's not a *psychic octopus* if anything he'd be a *precognitive octopus*. But of course, instead he's just lucky. #
- RT @harrietglynn: @AnthonyFloyd Octodamus. #
- Vancouver area? Dad? Tweetup! Tomorrow, Confederation Park, 11am: http://bit.ly/9lSdeV #
- RT @engadget: Deluxe Reverse Geocache is reusable, really awesome http://bit.ly/aOUtNf #
- Vancouver area? Dad? Tweetup! Tomorrow, Confederation Park, 11am http://bit.ly/9lSdeV #
- Friends over last night, went to bed at 12:30. Thanksless kid woke at 4:30. Do not like. #ZombieApocalypseIsNigh #
- Last call! Join some Vancouver-area dads at the trains at Confederation Park today, 11am! http://bit.ly/9lSdeV #
- Great time at Confed Park w/ @jordanbehan @Stv @Seanfunk @polarisdotca + @tjrossignol's DH + kids + @LeftCoastMama & @SlvrLambStudios after! #
- And then geocaching afterwards w/ the Funks + @polarisdotca, until we got run out of Burnaby Lake by the swarms of mosquitoes. Exhausted. #
- The antihistamines have knocked @LeftCoastMama right out. There were many mosquitoes at Burnaby Lake this afternoon where we were geocaching #
- So @WINDmobile uses AWS freq band. How do the phones roam when not in Wind "Home Zones"? Is AWS built-out everywhere? #confused #
- The bots are out to get me tonight #StalkedByBots #
- Disappointed that a replicant or blade runner (or dreaming of electric sheep) bot didn't pick up my last tweet #pkd #
- Things that in adulthood that don't match childhood memories: Pizza Pops. #
- Antihistamine-induced slumber in its 5th hour for @LeftCoastMama. Don't operate heavy machinery indeed. #
- Thinking more about BCTV's story about the Valemont rodeo death. Showed fatal goring 3x. Disrespectful. Tacky. Not professional. #
- It used to be that media wouldn't show auto racing accidents unless driver was ok. Guess sensationalism trumps journalistic integrity #bctv #
- Hmmm, that half-litre of Pepsi a couple of hours ago isn't looking like such a great idea right now. #WideAwake #
- When's the World Cup finale on? I figure that's the best time to head to the Superstore… #NotAFan #
- Back from nearly empty Superstore. At least the #worldcup was good for something. Maybe a bike ride now …. #NotAFan #
- Why I don't like the #worldcup Cheats, bad officiating, dives, no scoring, BORING. #UnpopularOpinion #
- So, Tweebs, was Paul just very lucky or was he IN ON THE FIX? #worldcup #yawn #
- Heading out for a bike ride around the seawall with the family. If you see us (Trail-A-Bike and Baby Seat) say hi! #FalseCreek #Vancouver #
- "While Genius is starting up, feel free to continue using iTunes". Oh Apple, why do you mock me? #CompletelyBuggeredUp #
