Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-01-09
- Wondering how effective calling the @vpd non-emergency line will be at getting the stoned neighbours' loud party shut down. #
- My suspicion is that it's just a "don't call 911" number that doesn't actually accomplish anything. #
- .@speakerss They answered, took details, said they'd send some one. Party's still going strong. Thump. Thump. Thump. @Ambient_Skater #
- After a brief lull (cops at door? too wasted to figure out the stereo?) the music's back. Thump. Thump. Thump. Asshats. #condolife #
- And now the fucking music is waking the kids. Rage building. #
- I think the party's over. Time to try to grab 3 hrs sleep. Asshat neighbours. #condolife #
- .@vpd just called to apologize for not sending someone out to shutdown the party yet, and was it still going on? @GwenFloyd #
- They were very apologetic but I'm disappointed. Noisy party wraps at 2:45 am & asshat neighbours have no idea that they've kept everyone up #
- Salmon-coloured sunrise #yvr http://t.co/eQ3IWfCL #
- At least, I think it's salmon-coloured. Could be my eyes due the fact that I got about 4 hrs sleep last night. #asshatneighbours #
- It's the Jan 1st stat holiday. Or, as I like to call it, shutdown and move the servers day! #working #hopetheycomebackup #
- Moving servers around at work. Might be time to replace this one. http://t.co/7l0VCxTA #
- RT @kitsilano: New Year’s Resolutions: A bike commuter’s list http://t.co/EJCNkltU #bikeyvr #
- This is what happens when you give thousands of stickers to thousands of kids (via @boingboing) http://t.co/GHpPy2IN #
- Welcome to 2012; 100 mm of rain forecast for the next 48 hrs. Time to find the outrigger for my bike. #yvr #
- Well, that's a cheerful forecast #otc Time to think about a Lexan fairing for the bike… #
- I compulsively fix Tweets that have glaring typos, although usually they get RT'd at least once before I can. Not this time, phew. #
- Went down to put the kids to bed; game went from 2-0 to 5-1? And a Russian tries to take the head off a Canuck & 'nuck is kicked out!? #wjc #
- Just wait until tomorrow! RT @Stv: You never yet met a pet I bet as wet as they let this wet pet get #raincouver #bicycling #bikeyvr #
- What? What!? #wjhc #
- #completebreakdown #implosion #wjhc #
- Huh. This game's getting interesting. 3 unanswered Canadian goals. Now 6-4, 8 mins to get the next 2 #momentum #wjhc #
- Uh, 6-5 now with just under 6 to play. If you're not watching go find a TV. Now. #wjhc #
- Wow, incredible try, but missed by >< that much. #wjhc 6-5 Russia #
- Nearly hit by car at t-circle 8th/Larch, proceeded to violate NY resolution #2 Asshat driver chased me, pulled "don't you know who I am?" #
- Didn't have clarity of thought to respond he was asshat who nearly killed me and that's all I needed to know. #
- Who nearly hits a cyclist and then pulls a "don't you know who I am?" How much of an egotistical asshat do you have to be? #bikeyvr #
- If I'd known who he was, I would have treated him ROUGHER. Anyone who knows me knows not to run a t-circle on bike rte w/o looking. RIGHT!? #
- And, he didn't seem too concerned about knowing who he nearly ploughed into. Oy-vey. #
- Super impressed with Dell. Placed an order online yesterday ~5pm, had it in hand today at 10:15am. Free shipping. #winning #

- Caught this morning's "interaction" with #asshat motorist on video (NSFW language): http://t.co/kL9yd4My Sigh. Must be less assholish #
- .@soundy I mean, I have to negotiate at least 6 traffic circles on my commute, twice daily. I *rely* on people knowing what they're doing. #
- Something is technically wrong. #
- Seems to be an epidemic of bad driving in YVR today. What's to blame? Perihelion? #
- Downstairs water is better #thingsiwillneverunderstand #cats #
- WordWorld addressed the evil scourge of case-ism today. Whether you're upper case, or lower case, we're all the same. #
- I guess that addresses the "is it live or is it memorex" question for Quinn's Quiz #otc @cbcstephenquinn #
- Massively horrid driving at UBC: motorist turns wrong way down Westbrook Blvd & at same intersection, SUV comes to stop at green light! #WTF #
- What a crazy ride home. Safe for me, but it was like zombies were driving every car/truck/bike on the road. #yvr #
- The question isn't *if* Avid Studio will crash, it's "Will it crash less than a dozen times before I'm done editing?" :headdesk: #

- When is a smoking ban not a smoking ban? When it's the Metro Vancouver parks ban. 1) Won't be enforced, 2) Only banned where ppl "gather"!? #
- The Office of Religious Freedom sounds like one of those things that does exactly the opposite of what the name suggests. Do not want. #
- I really wonder which religions the "Office of Religious Freedom" will be defending? What about non-believers? Are they hung out to dry? #
- .@604Heather My expectation is that it will be used to push Conservative agendas (eg, anti-abortion) in the name of "religious freedom" #
- This episode of Dragnet (Vintage Radio app FTW!) fr 1949 includes consulting a statistician who uses cards with an IBM machine! Wow! #hitech #
- Weird. @gwenfloyd went out to the grocery store last night & 2 diff ppl logged the travel bug on our truck. That never happens! #geocaching #
- Not the "two people logging", *any* people logging. I think that's the 3rd? time that it's been logged not at a geocaching event. #
- From http://t.co/B6BjqkJn : "The ideal number of bikes is however many you have right now + 1." (via @vacc) #bikeyvr #
