    • @mndoci You really otta join [wp-hackers]; that sorta stuff is very needed. (I couldn’t DM .. you mad at me? *grin*) #
    • Chinese use "confession by an unidentified monk" against HHDalai Lama > http://snipurl.com/230c8 < Cheney/Rove-style … #
    • Haa! Venezuela set up baseball academies … exporting of pro-players to US as source of foreign funds. #
    • @PelleB 95% of my MediaWiki spam is E-Gold. Not horrendous, but on-going PITA. #
    • @PelleB Erratum: 95% of my MediaWiki spam is /WorldOfWarcraft/ E-Gold. Quite another thing! #
    • @astrout I had nothing but joy from my Casio. (10mths old; not state of the art!) #

    • @newmediajim In person?! He’s one fella I’d like to meet. Did you ask him about netcentric participation? (Oh-woop, my vernacular *grin*) #
    • @MarkDykeman It’s dialectical _mon cher_ … read those who disagree with something you take as fun-duhh-mental; there’s the jazz! #
    • @edwardvielmetti BTW: I’ve been adding to the ConceptualTopology page you created … thanks! It was a boot in the pants. #
    • @MParekh I heard he’d passed. "local brave souls and their families" > http://snipurl.com/230fw < good on you. #
    • @randytroppmann Re-tweeting something is "spamming you"?! Chill. #
    • @astrout It was EXZ something. Sorry … stored it with battery in place; battery’s dead, so it’s on a shelf in bedroom. #
    • @randytroppmann I checked: the NYTimes / China / Tibet story went out twice in the past hour. You call me spammer. WTF are you? #
    • 4 shades of orange, 2 shades of yellow, 2 shades of red, and body of leaf-green … and buddy fancies himself a designer. *shakes head* #
    • @edibiase I may have just done that to myself! #
    • @yourdon Had a handy writing tool, like cross-breed of pgmr’s editor and wprocessor; stored snippets in buffers. "ThinkingCap" … C=64! #
    • @DougH Just wait … won’t recognize WP after google Summer of Code … lots in the works. #
    • @davedelaney Betcha lotsa geeks monitoring Support and [wp-hackers] just now, in case of just that. (Sorry, no idea why total failure.) #

    • What’s funny? I couldn’t get through more than 30 secs of him on the video. Hubris? Not sure. But OMG boilerplate. #
    • I love technorati like an old chum but my lord I’ve begun to anticipate its painfully slow performance. Wish they’d win the lottery. #
    • @pureCaffeine Cruel! Heartless thing that you are. The guy went to the effort of writing again! *snort/caff/gasp* #
    • Consecutive tweets from @OriginalSignal: " Mobile Web Trends & Products, March ‘08 Update"; " LyricWiki API: Get Song Lyrics via Code" ;-P #
    • @ccmehil Triage, mate … you know the drill … "Many mile to walk | Before I sleep" TallyHo! #
    • @1938media Thanks … I’ll end my day on that; get the memories of Scoble video outta mind. (Pete’s gotta learn to hold his mic steady.) #
    • @1938media Blind guess: Joel Spolsky’s site is probably a) unpretentious, and b) functional as all get out. Might just be attractive, too. #
    • Double wammy: New "Convo in Motion" http://snipurl.com/22zs0 and !cat out’uh bag! http://groundplane.wordpress.com ==30== #
    • @1938media Thot in the moment: you should re-jig http://www.cluetrain.com #
    • "Convo in Motion" http://snipurl.com/22zs0 saw some hits, but !cat out’uh bag! http://groundplane.wordpress.com is a sleeper #
    • @1938media If/since it’s wrong, hence my suggestion to re-jig it! Counterdisestablishmentarianism. #
    • "Convo" http://snipurl.com/22zs0 gets me invited to P2P Ning; !cat out’uh bag! http://groundplane.wordpress.com "Optimist! Dreamer!" #
    • @1938media In "Don’t Take This Wrong"? Sorry dewd, not 1 original thot. Not even your claim to originality. -5 #
    • http://www.memetic-vre.net wrapped up Feb 2007 … who knew?! (They had a great "roadmap". No longer available. That’s sad.) #
    • @SamLawrence Nice synch … was plowing through back issues of the dead-tree version … great stuff. #
    • @stoweboyd ’sup with del’s tag edit function?! I had a FF ext. run amok; has taken months to semi-restore. A new Ajax form is called for. #
    • A new blog (yet.another) is born: http://udjonell.blogspot.com #
    • @1938media Go check you shit out? I tweeted abt ur vid last night, and again this morning. RPT your "Don’t Take" was cliche/hackneyed. -10 #
    • @tombreeves *blink* You a Udell fan? *fascinated* #
    • A new blog (yet.another) is born: http://udjonell.blogspot.com #
    • Just as a test, I loaded a custom google search with a list of 237 "ace" documents, then searched fof "cloud +tag" … Bingo!! #
    • @dahowlett Just to let you know, crawling "ace" links, I ended up reading a raft of your ZDNet posts. SweetGoodness! :-) #
    • @DougH TU for re-tweet; that was topic my post yesterday > http://tinyurl.com/yofpjb < "Conversation in Motion" … 1 more link! #
    • http://www.webware.com/ … kinda nice. I wonder: what do they hope to gain by making their homepage 36 FLAMIN’SCREENS HIGH?! PITA #

    • @stevegillmor In the days of Win3.1 we had some nifty patch utilities. Dunno, now. #
    • @Joi You are not allowed to let your blog die. Consensus. No-brainer. ;-) #
    • How’s’bout this: free beta-style feedback gives A-list an ever greater sense of entitlement. Buzz buzz plop plop fizz fizz peel me a grape. #
    • Time zone after time zone, the sound of countless backs being patted. Talk about "virtue theft"! #
    • As symbolic? Sure, a 1hr 10% reduction. But /folk see it as an actual effective reduction in pollution!/ Consequence? More myth. #
    • Metaphor: we are each of us space-travellers through mapless cosmos; alpinists upward-bound. But we share a ship; we’re all on 1 team. #
    • What my peers/cohort won’t acknowledge: it’s hard to make it easy; it takes 10 tons of work to something simple. #
    • Looking over 13 years of web-work … and 33 years of work journal … no buzz, no spin, no sophistry … no value. *This is f’n nuts!* #
    • @rjeffries for e.g. Q: since there was http://www.congoo.com how come AllTops didn’t suffer infant mortality? Buzz … hype … spin. #
    • Talking about talking about talking, huge buzz. Saying something? *sound of crickets* #
    • @trib I remarked on FB yesterday, with a new tweeter, how that combination seems somehow elegant. #
    • Gotta love sites that produce quotes; "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. -Confucius" #
    • *Geeek!* Reviewing my old Gnodal LJ turns up nuggets! > http://snipurl.com/22ylv < "The Neural Basis of Predicate-Argument Structure" #
    • @technosailor You pret’near as curmudgeon as I! #
    • @dsifry Apparently fluoros are gawd-aweful for pollution, in production and in trash. Methinks hi-intensity white LEDs are the way. #
    • @dsifry Still need some production mojo to make it happen. But market pull is there; can’t be long. ‘Member when blue was "impossible"? ;-) #
    • "Machine is Us/ing Us" … such a classic! http://youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE #
    • My VRML taxonomy researched show that, no, "categories" do notRPTnot require Subject Matter Experts. Then I slipped on ice. *sigh* #
    • @dsifry I was tech geek. Groked LASER in grade 3. I got distracted by our tendency to overthrow democracies and hang heroes. #
    • Oh, and destroy SpaceShip Earth. People can be nice. Often they’re not. "Go figure" sounded right, so I did. Figure. And go. *Shaman?* #
    • Re-tweet: "Machine is Us/ing Us" … such a classic! http://youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE #
    • @dsifry Oh, hey, fluoros etc etc all o’that, yaa, follow your bliss / Love God do as you will. I’ve been eyeing small-scale pwr gen. #
    • @hci Hey there you! Yaa, I visit his YouTube profile for latest. Re-viewing is also good. ;-) BTW: http://bentrem.sycks.net/links/ #
    • @stoweboyd " #web #of #flow, forever: http://twurl.nl/fxqt44" is NoJoy … login required #
    • Woaa … I shudna lost sight of Grazr! > http://docs.grazr.com/script/tutorial/ < #
    • @stoweboyd comment on your blog re: "chaos as meaningfully ordered" and "so-called social objects as random bobbles" :-) #
    • google’s treatment of BlogSpot is disgusting. Now the b’marklet is telling me to enable JavaScript. Yaa, right after I hitch up my camel. #
    • I think having only a 300MHz box to work with is God’s way of reminding me I’m a painted bird. *grrrrr* #
    • A Canadian radio institute is now online: http://vinylcafe.com … Stuart McLean is a story teller _par excellence_. #
    • *sigh* homepage re-design time. Some side-bar widget stalled and held up the whole page. (Bring in the iframe documents!) #
    • @steverubel When we kill "Social Media" can we arrange to have "social object" as collateral damage, puhleeeze?! #
    • With @steverubel and @stoweboyd tweeting, can can I _not_ blog?! > http://snipurl.com/22zs0 < #
    • With @steverubel and @stoweboyd tweeting, how can I _not_ blog?! > http://snipurl.com/22zs0 < #
    • @SamLawrence Great example of when "attention" is meaningful / significant. :-) #
    • Do "social gestures" amount to more than "Look at meeeeeee!" > http://snipurl.com/22zs0 [mozdawg_blogspot_com] < #
    • Don’t trust anyone who calls his alma mater "Mount Saint uhhhhhhhhhhh Vincent". Or someone who’s blog homepage is 58 screens high. #
    • @AdamBoettiger I was just at the website > http://snipurl.com/22zwp < (noticed in it Euan Semple’s blog); looks fabulous. #
    • "Mobile conversation" … @s instead of comments on blogposts, and DMs instead of edits to wiki pages. Hardly improvement! #
    • @AdamBoettiger Ooh! I hadn’t realized that! FWIW I’m hacking a way to wikify WordPress w/MediaWiki. (Helllp!) #
    • @AdamBoettiger OMG … cannot see that from their blog! *Tsk-ktsk!* thanks for the heads up #
    • @ccmehil I thought "rude, aggressive. Blew away my History.DAT killing it" was a warning. I shudda included "DO NOT CLICK". Will delete. #
    • Warning: Ctrl-Alt-Del on Firefox while History is open in SideBar results in absolute data loss i.e. History.DAT is killed. #
    • @ccmehil I have my History set to last almost indefinitely, and prune it frequently … I just lost a little gold-mine. #
    • @t I’m not positive, because my History.DAT got blown away, but if you made reference to internetisforseriousbusiness please destroy that. #
    • @mario You’re kind, thanks. Now, where do I get an installation disk for XP … *grin* #
    • @tommorris I keep meaning to read my Citizendium mail-list folder … it’s full to bursting! #
    • What do you say of a slide presentation creator where clicking on a slide results in nothing whatsoever. *RedoFromStart!* #
    • @eastgate synch (sort of) - reading up on stevia extract / growing and use of leaves in herbal tea #

    • Mugabe: if opposition claims victory will be charged w/mounting a coup; China: HH Dalai Lama is a scheming liar. Karl Rove has been busy! #

    • @metafluence "Drama" is right. Matt often astonishes me on [wp-hackers] … not shrill, not condescending, to the point. #
    • @MarkDykeman re: Mercer … I was just thinking of him, and how Jon Stewart doesn’t rub me the wrong way. (I take Colbert in small doses.) #
    • @raygrieselhuber The magic of declarative knowledge _contra_ buzz, spin, hype, sophistry. Like science: hard data can be disproven. Or not #
    • @ev @biz Eeeewww! Twitter stores incomplete set of DMs sent! #
    • @AndyBeard Haven’t been to my Stumble account for dog’s age. "Forward" to you? *blink* #

    • heh … case-use of why I haven’t bothered with Stumble, even w/b’marklet on hand. *shrug* #
    • @AndyBeard I have SU bookmarklet, but see no forward / send to. So solly! #
    • BrainPain: losing History.DAT is like having suffered a stroke. 10 tonnes of "pending" stuff disappeared. #
    • 13 years of web history … my site is #1 in a coupla categories … link on my profile … how can I seem an unknown player?! #
    • @pureCaffeine SNAFU w/good staff and clear task … sounds like home to me! #

    • @factoryjoe 2 parts aired this week. Real-life drama … villains, failed heroes, tragic accidents. Shakespearean. #
    • @cgranier A fellow I know (on the Yahoo!FireEagle team) is moving to Uruguay. I’ll pass that on to him. #
    • @cgranier No kidding. S’n Brasil I’d understand, but … ’sup with Uruguay?! #
    • @PelleB Those from @ITGeek were _moi_ … I had switched to follow you on that tweet-channel. #

    • @pkedrosky One side mis-behaves, the other over-compensates. I have always suspected it’s someone playing both sides agin’the middle: us. #
    • My trader friend’s saying, "Profit on the way up, profit on the way down. When there’s movement, I profit." #

    • @PelleB Brilliant / on the dot. The ultimate co-working. Ah, for the days of global IndyMedia IRC conferences! #
    • @PelleB is bending my mind in all sorta good directions; how’bout this, sports fans: beer wine. Wine, from malt. (not for BudLite fans!) #
    • @ChrisSaad W/respect, your case founders cuz folk don’t grok the distinction. Terms operationally defined? My gut sez sumthin’s fuzzy. #
    • Now-daze "taxonomy" is in common usage. How many folk can use "ontology" in a sentence?! (_Parley-vous "topoi"_? #
    • Yuppie-buddhists likely say "But nothing exists" to practically everything/anything. (*Kwaatz!!*) #
    • "Say this stick exists and I’ll hit you with it. Say this stick doesn’t exist, I’ll crack you in the head with it!" #

    • Last month (TU @edvielmetti!) I found a 1992 W3C archive. Last week I unpacked email from late 90s. Today I’ve been reading it. Gold! #
    • @trib A sad fact: you’re gifting 3.0Ghz 2Gb RAM 100Gb, I’m using 300MHz, 180MegRAM, 10Gb. 1/10th! *Forget Uruguay, I’m AU bound!* #

    • 11 PM back-porch chat w/neighbor folks who’ve become drug addicted. He insists we can/must know other’s state of mind. Yuppie. #

    • For the record: Was on the bus in ‘68; did hi-tech, and I owned a house. But "I am not now nor have ever been" yuppie. Digger, _moi_. #
    • It’s as though those who do not dignify their own humanity devalue their own opinion, valid intuition, and so then claim certain "knowing". #

    • Q: How do you talk to good hard-workin’folk about self-exploitation and unhealthy ambition/greed? From the outside, looking in. #
    • Corporate dynamics as drama / theatre / story? The local "eBusiness" people have a Web1.0 site … their WordPress? V1.5.3 … dullards. #
    • @ourfounder Je suggere que vous visitez un petit bistro a la Ville de Quebec, n’est-import le quel. [sic sic sic!!] #
    • @mimonette Aaaaagh. Jonathan Powell, not Colin. Huge diff. Not a detail. #
    • Petro-dollars are toxic; a local "eBusiness" group have a very Web1.0 site; their WordPress? V1.5.3 Their "About" page is an HTML primer. #
    • @jwz IMNSHO email is hardly better #
    • @Stammy They send extra engines when it’s multi-unit … gotta kill it, fast, completely. (I live near a fire station *sigh*.) #
    • @cgranier And they were right fast outta the chute, too. Mighta had a coupla upgrades, but it’s deff classic. #
    • @unorder TU for "David Boje’s book", via @dkeldsen … I do historiography + cog-psych. But who is @susnyrop ? No such tweeter. #
    • @unorder BTW, synchronicity: "THE CITY OF WORDS: MASSEY LECTURES BY ALBERTO MANGUEL" http://www.cbc.ca/ideas < on air now! #

    • I’ve lost my morning routine. If someone sees it, please pat it on the head and tell it to come home. I miss it. #
    • So, fine, over the past 5 years I’ve collected a wonderful set of sites. But /how to sort them?!/ Delicious, wiki, bookmarks … huge mess. #
    • @paulsingh It’s great. So great I used it all the time. Now hundreds of sites and dozens of categories. Proceed w/future in mind! #
    • @interstar 2008 and huh huh I find myself in my wiki more than ever, and blogging less than ever. Adaptive behaviour? cheers #
    • erratum - FWIW "declarative knowledge" is key to Web3.0 sorting/classifying *stuffs cat back into stealth bag* #
    • The big advantage of talking about talkinb about talking: any of a 12 good sites will work. Need a detail? a particular? a specific? squat #
    • @interstar Yaaa, I’m all over your "ThoughtStorms". I’m /horny/ for the day I can drop the "stealth mode" crap. I need partnership! 0_o #
    • @interstar Lovely stuff but huh huh Is it truly wiki w/o co-writing?! *grin* see my http://snipurl.com/22v1d [bentrem_sycks_net] < #
    • @interstar Non-linear systems are dynamically balanced; since they operate with feed-back/feed-forward they are re-entrant/self-modifying #
    • @alexdc For me "superheroes" = A-list on steroids. I’m aiming to enable occasional participants. #
    • @interstar re: agree … sooo, edit-perms to your wiki? ;-P #
    • @alexdc I can’t agree. "SuperHero" does not usually mean "unsung"; un-sung and hero together? Rare, far from definitional / paradigmatic. #
    • Ok, so I made a page on "Ethology and Mind" > http://snipurl.com/22v5o < The questions become: why? and for what? *blink* #
    • @interstar And again I agree; what I’ve found is a "vector" along which I can order un-structured info; now need s’thing like your SDIDesk #
    • What I call
