Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-10-17

  • And…that was the roughest weekend I've had in a long while. #
  • Surreality is reality. #
  • RT @doycet: @ChuckWendig dishes on why you should avoid dating writers at all costs. http://bit.ly/a3X6KI — Read it; save yourself. #
  • I would love to have an objective measurement of the creeping lateness I perceive in people arriving for meetings as the merger approaches. #
  • Suddenly realizing that there are lots and lots of files on zip disks in my basement that I WANT. Hope I can hook my zip drive up! #
  • But considering I think it's a PARALLEL device, that might be exciting. #
  • Dang, now that I think about it, it might be SCSI. :( #
  • The catch-22 of professionalism for certain industries intrigues me. Do I want to hire a lawn company that hands out pretty, glossy flyers? #
  • Or do I want to hire the one that jams grass-stained old-school business cards in my door? One might be more pro, but prolly more EXPENSIVE? #
  • And for once a year lawn care, do I care about pro compared to cost? Hmmm. #
  • One way in which cold weather is worse than warm: coworkers see your jacket and know you are going outside and not just to another floor! #
  • Tasty mushroom barley soup on the stove! #
  • Good conversation with @kim_stone tonight. I love you sweetie! #
  • Taking suggestions from twitter on what kind of beer I should brew once the cider is out of the fermenter. Who has a favorite beer style? #
  • Pasty engineer needs food, badly! #
  • Thanks for all the beer suggestions, everyone! Seems to be settling in on wheat, which sounds good to me! To the recipe builder! #
  • Yeah! Why can't they shut up and silently waste time on the internet like everyone else! #
  • Don't get caught up arguing that the approach to something is valid, when there's a good history of approach good: implementation bad. #
  • Current Beer Recipe is shaping up to be a Chamomille Agave Wheat. Trying to decide if I want to stick with extract, or try all-grain… #
  • This cracks me up and makes my day: Peer manager at work (not about me): "would you two stop bickering over email? I'm trying to eat, here!" #
  • What the? When did a @tokyojoes magically appear at Iliff and Havana? For supposedly living in Aurora, I know nothing of what goes on here! #
  • I am having a requirements-gasm watching this vendor demo. Best demo in the last 3 weeks by a double rainbow-sized amount. #
  • Trying to relax instead of getting enraged with he said/me said silliness with my development team… #
  • …she did. #
  • Where is Fat Albert when you need him? #
  • I'm trying to compile a list of my favorite moments in my RPG history. Common theme so far: unexpected but in-hindsight-inevitable scenes. #
  • I'm imagining a mystery board game like Clue, but multi-dimensional, and with "scenes", where the character relationships are key. #
  • Maybe more like House on Haunted Hill, but with relationships between the characters. #
  • I wish I was more impressed by LEGO Universe than I am. #
  • Char Siu Bao in the making! – http://twitpic.com/2xwhnm #
  • Finished Bao! Mmmmm, smell sooo good! – http://twitpic.com/2xxh5q #
  • Thank the gods that I can finally measure the distance between to points on a Google Map in Smoots AND 1st Temple Cubits! #
  • Finished my mail-in ballot. Some facsinating financial impacts/quandries in this year's crop of amendment proposals… #
  • Now, THAT's a bloody mary! (not mine, I'm having @Deschutes Mirror Pond). – http://twitpic.com/2y6cvq #
  • Email from my father: "Android phone syncs with Google Cal with no setup. Tried to get Outlook to sync with Win Mobile for 2 yrs. F*** M$!" #
  • After exhaustive analysis, I've concluded that Glad Press-n-Seal is the least frustrating way to cover leftovers. Tried many alternatives! #
  • Hopefully, now none of you will have to conduct that research on your own. I've saved you SOOO much time, believe me! #
