• @DonRiep HiYa. No, but I’ve been hanging at the <s>Strath</s> Second Cup there for years. @mastermaq headed there too! (I’m Whyte / 96th) #
• @AshleyAngell Wow. String has to be tightlyl constrained. I mean, couldn’t just pull from freeform text. Could we? (Finite # of variations?) #
• /me finds himself in gedanken: given large pool of free text, how many ways people use to express date? Gotta be finite. Bet it’s not large. #
• @JessieX My thesis about our decline: until/unless there is existential chance of consequence sophistry (cheap to produce!) will win out. #

• @DavidLinthicum I have to wonder: how many folk back off when they read "Download File". Cognitive ergonomics ... it really should be "Play" #

• Sooo, kidz ... let's think: we get @ that aren't to us, we get DM from folk we don't follow. Like LinkedIn, Twitter wins $$$ by default. #

• ReTw @laughingsquid: Ron Howard’s Call To Action with Andy Griffith & Henry Winkler http://tr.im/j1b [OMG. #Vista again refuses to play!] #
• Just got email security notification from Microsoft CSS Security Team. Talk about job security!! (M$? #Vista really sucks. You suck too.) #
• Ayup. Re-started FF2 and videos have audio. #Vista … MicroSloth, as I wrote in ’98, is guilty of psychological abuse. #ClassActionSuit #
• @laughingsquid I guess I’ll go ahead an up-date to 2.6.x now. ;-) #

• Unbelelievable. Go to M$ for security update. Oh, can’t be running FF. Launch IE. Oh, this new laptop needs to update IE. M$? You suck. #
• Oh. I have been instructed to close all apps. Again. This time so IE can take control. (NB: the A-list ignore reality … they’re lamers.) #
• DLd IE8, closed everything, re-booted. Now I get to *sigh* DL security upgrade on #Vista and do it all again. M$? You truly do suck. #
• After DL/install IE8: “The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view.” M$? This is criminal a … #
• How stunned is M$ really? peek the pic: http://flickr.com/photos/bentrem/2968694362/ (Doesn’t this say how economic foundation is cracked?) #
• EMail to M$ part two; finale: “No vulgarity can exceed the vulgarity of your continued existence.” #
• HeyHo, wasted time beta-testing M$ security. Now DLing update via Control Panel. *malevolent cretins, they are* #
• #Vista After 1/2hr updating/upgrading/DLing/un-installing M$ gack … an ugly experience. I feel abused. And dirty. And exposed. Vulnerable. #
• On surfacing from M$-land: isn’t MicroSloth evidence that market forces are skewed? Isn’t it clear that A-list exist to distract/trivialize? #

• #Vista Really, this is the height of dumb: Firefox just encountered some flavor of SWF and opened IE to handle it. M$, get outta my face! #
• @lisarokusek People who use the word socialist as a stick I think would be using gay bashing or racism if they thot they’d get away with it. #
