@ezyang I think the right way is to set up a named logger (or more, if you need more to provide more options than just levels) with either no handler, or a simple stdout handler by default, and then advertise how users can turn logging on and off in their applications in your docs.

@kingbdogz This approach makes time less of a factor, introduces a new challenge in survival, and a new twist for competition (opponents can get your stuff if they're willing to risk taking some damage for it). It values preparedness and strategy over speed.

@kingbdogz I think a challenge to get your items back is a good idea, but a five-or-maybe-more-minute race feels arbitrary. What if on death, a new mob spawned that would hold your items and drop them randomly as it takes damage. If you die again before defeating it, it would despawn.

@IRCCloud That worked, though I'm a bit concerned that my password was suddenly changed without so much as an email to me. My password has been saved in 1Password, so it's not like I mistyped it.

@kingbdogz I think there is a bit of a thrill that comes along with the race to get back to your items in time, and the payoff can feel pretty great. That said, not knowing *where* you died (the F3 screen shouldn't be critical to gameplay) is not at all fun.

@IRCCloud Was signed out of the Mac app this morning and can't seem to sign back in. Is there an outage somewhere?

@lindseybieda Which craft?

@Sen_JoeManchin How is democracy served when you can't even get bipartisan support to begin open debate on a bill? The filibuster is enabling partisanship, not guarding against it.

@jonfavs The real tragedy is that by prioritizing the filibuster, @Sen_JoeManchin risks normalizing Republicans' attack on democracy as a valid position.

@jonfavs Republicans have been coaching their party to distrust democracy for years. I don't think forcing them to fight against voting rights puts them in the awkward position you might hope.

@rolisupport I ordered a Seaboard Block add-on with my Lumi pledge, but then you offered a better sale on your website. I have seen you offering other backers a chance to cancel their backerkit add-ons so they can take advantage of the sale. Please do the same for me.

Does anyone know what @pgh2o is up to at Liberty and Cedarville right now?

@MarvelSupport My account doesn't register my unlimited access. I was just charged last like a week ago. I'll expect a credit to my account.

@tweethue Tried connecting it to the router directly with no other devices connected. Left it unpowered for 2 minutes prior. All three lights flashed once and only the power light stayed on. Left it for five minutes, no change. Warranty time.

@tweethue The router I'm using is the Unifi Security Gateway. The switch is the Unifi Switch 8 (60 watt). Removing the switch is not a permanent solution for my network, but I will try it to verify that the Bridge is indeed defective.

@tweethue No guest network. 2.4GHz and 5GHz are the same network. I do use a switch, but I have tried everything mentioned so far connected to the switch and connected directly to the router. I can't see how this can possibly be a network issue.

@tweethue I have a new router. But have had no trouble with any other device, wired or not.

@tweethue I have just tried that and it doesn't appear to have worked. I can't get the bridge to do anything, but it appears to exhibit the same behavior as before.

@tweethue I have tried assigning a static IP through my router and the bridge never accepts it. I am using IPv4, and my router does support UPnP.

@tweethue Yes. I have tried connected to the main router. I have disconnected for 30 seconds and tried again. No luck. Always shows a network connection, but never gets an IP address. DHCP is working correctly for 20 other devices on my network, including two other wired devices.

@tweethue The bridge was previously connected to the app and DHCP was enabled. I have tried several different router/switch ports and different ethernet cables. The network indicator is on, but the internet indicator is off.

@tweethue My bridge is connected to my network, but won't get an IP address from DHCP. Any ideas?

@VerizonSupport Yes. My router itself is losing connection to the internet and showing lower than advertised speeds. No WiFi is involved in my issues.

@VerizonSupport So what is happening to get my service working correctly?

@VerizonSupport No. Your technician installed the internal wiring and it has not been touched since. That you would expect me to pay for a plan to warranty against poor workmanship on the part of your employees is ridiculous.

@VerizonSupport A network extender is not necessary. My connection to the wireless network is strong. The speed tests are running from the router itself. It is your service that is failing.

@VerizonSupport I have reset both the router and ONT, and my service is deeply unreliable, and never reaches the advertised speeds. This is absolutely unacceptable for anyone, but I work from home and rely on your service for my job.

@lindseybieda You are a genius.

@atmosphere Completely agree. Lemons is an absolute classic. You, Guarantees, Waitress, Puppets, Painting and Dreamer are the foundations of a whole-ass genre. Lemons was one of those albums that didn't give fans what they were expecting, but gave them something totally different and better.

He also sought to read and record the Supplier Agreement ID from my bills without ever telling my how or why he was using this information. Again, he presented his visit as a neighborhood or city mandated effort, and not as a promotional campaign for @MPowerEnergy_NY.

He never identified himself as an employee of @MPowerEnergy_NY, but instead associated himself with a community effort to "Go Green."

@PGHtransit This is the second time I've witnessed discrimination by drivers in 2017 alone. When will you take this problem seriously and correct it?

@PGHtransit He also ignored her stop request for at least two stops, which seems potentially malicious given his comments.

@PGHtransit His behavior was very offensive and inappropriate. He was driving the 54D inbound that stopped at Arch St near North at 12:45am.

@PGHtransit He said "good luck figuring out what THAT was."

@PGHtransit 54D Driver made rude comments about a woman who may or may not have been trans as she stepped off of the bus.

@lindseybieda It took so long for us to get to that at the Python group. That name should be considered harmful.

@gsuite In particular, @GooglePlay purchases are tied to an account that I'd lose forever if I delete my old, personal domain name org.

@gsuite Knowing that I can't migrate my old free personal accounts out really makes me reconsider any new G Suite organizations.

@sempf @taylonr I have the curved version of that and I've been pretty happy with it.

@astronautalis When people say "You can't cut MoW AND claim to care about Veterans and Seniors", he thinks "I bet I can! Watch this."

@alaska_ATOMS @windnbreeze @pawlmadethis And thank you all for making the music. Looking forward to checking out your current work.

@alaska_ATOMS Awesome! That album is one reason why I buy CD (and vinyl if available) for every album I can, as soon as I can.

@windnbreeze @alaska_ATOMS @pawlmadethis Is it possible to buy Multi-Plat anywhere? I've always wanted that album. Hangar 18 was a favorite.

@TellinTheFacts It's okay for ordinary people to demand answers from monopolies when they see bad behavior.

@TellinTheFacts Not at all. But when it looks like discrimination, it warrants calling out and demanding a response.

@TellinTheFacts The moral burden is on @PGHtransit to prove that it wasn't discrimination. Not the other way around.

@TellinTheFacts In one instance a @PGHtransit employee told me, alone on a bus, that blacks were the cause of all of the traffic we were in.

@TellinTheFacts I've seen POC and women mistreated by @PGHtransit employees many times. I'll no longer affirm it by not calling it out.

@PGHtransit Cool. I'll keep following up with news organizations, local government, and activists until you announce his termination.

.@billpeduto My lack of comma suggested that you witnessed it. I witnessed it. I'm asking you to help.

Hey @billpeduto just witnessed clear gender discrimination by a Port Authority driver against a young mother and her child. I'm appalled.

.@PGHtransit This is clearly a case of gender discrimination. Driver must be terminated.

.@PGHtransit The stop was Allegheny Senior Home. The time was about 9:20am. Driver refused to stop when I alerted him. "She's not getting on this bus"

Hey @PGHtransit, the driver of this 16 (#5705) just abandoned a young mother and her infant at the bus stop after letting me on. Disgusting.

@jperras Explicitly wrong. Slack has little to no interest in supporting them, and likely only allows them to create mindshare lock-in.

@chartjes Google may share my info with the government when they are legally required to do so. I don't support breaking the law.

@chartjes It is a misunderstanding that Google gives my data away. They just let advertisers target those assumptions with ads. Who cares?

So now I may get ads in gmail and search that are targeted based on my reader, calendar, and Google+ data? Who gives a fuck?

@ramsey Is that from the State of the Union?

@pinkemma Swype on the Galaxy Nexus? But how? It tells me my screen size is not supported yet.

@emilysmith I think the names are so you can stop by for a follow-up ass-kicking every few months. Addresses are handy too.

@chartjes What if you hoarded Hoarders DVDs?

@CalEvans Well, to be fair, discontinued products are probably not the priority in terms of visibility on the site.

Did you ever notice how sometimes a glass of water is the most delicious, and amazing thing in the world?

@lukewelling It was great while it lasted.

@lukewelling That was supposed to be a suitor responding to this woman, but I ran out of room for the quotation marks.

@lukewelling Oh! Well I was just going to take you home and "forget" to call you, but since you've got the wedding all planned and paid for…

@davidcoallier Let's get serious. People will bitch about any and everything, especially when they don't know what they are talking about.

@tswicegood Whoa! Don't be so hard on yourself. You can't keep beating yourself up. Your sarcasm is what makes you who you are. Be strong!

@joestump Either way, the problem is the absurd cost of health care. If we could reign that in, people could take care of themselves.

@joestump I think his position is that everyone shouldn't have to pay to keep someone alive, but it would be swell if someone did.

Debate should be about finding truth. When we oversimplify and misrepresent our opponents' positions, we do everyone a disservice.

@joestump And he suggested that family and private charities should take care of the man. I don't personally agree with him, for the record

@joestump To be fair, the example given was of a man who could afford health insurance, but chose to go without.

@dshafik I just realized, I AM using the preview theme on my Google Apps Gmail account, and Google Apps Calendar.

@dshafik Google Apps users get Google+ last because for whatever reason, Google never ported profiles for Google Apps users.

@chartjes Yes, you were a fantastic help, as were @jmccree, @phpnut, and so many others.

@morgamic Eager to give Firefox Mobile a shot on a more powerful Android device. Could use some work, but good for a first release.

@coates A lot of leakage from the cap of one bottle. Is that a "drink tonight"er?

#phpcomcon adventure is at its end. Thrilled to see such positive feedback. I can't wait to see what we cook up for 2012.

@funkatron @anthonyjeselnik is brilliant.

@coates I always thought that was sort of tacky and beneath Apple. Expected from other companies though.

@MattSchnauber Not bad. Busy.

@jordanmessina I can't guarantee that, but they appear to be storing passwords enencrypted, so one must doubt all of their data security.

People in the Pittsburgh area that care about their followers should retweet my previous tweet.

Our waiter for brunch is sagging his pants like it is 1995. He might be the last of his kind.

@JustinKownacki Not that ads in general are a problem. Just THAT ad.

@JustinKownacki The Alienware ad that is playing at the beginning of each episode is WAY too loud, and it's kind of ruining this for me.

Just realized that I have 150+ tracks by @atmosphere in my library. That means at least 200 beats by Ant. Slug and Ant: workaholics much?

@amazonmp3 CloudPlayer needs the ability to distinguish between things like music and comedy tracks.

Looking forward to the Galaxy Tab 10.1". The iPad2 finally has a rival that can fight back.

@ElizabethN Imagine if Woodward and Bernstein broke Watergate in the Onion on April Fools Day. Genius.

@FictiveCameron I only hate it when you guys have better weather than I do.

@courtewing I've been happy with namecheap.com and name.com. Currently transferring everything to name.com though.

@wezfurlong It's just you. The ones in my building are designed to go off for no reason at all possible times.

@funkatron Oh, I assumed they did a download once thing like iTunes. That makes even less sense then. /cc @amazonmp3

@funkatron That does suck. Hopefully they will come up with a way to let you redownload to Cloud Drive once for previous purchases.

@steveklabnik I lied.

@steveklabnik Can't seem to log in, and there was a problem with the forgot password feature. What's up?

@SIDT One of my favorites is Russian River's Supplication, but it isn't available here. What good sour beers can I find around Pittsburgh?

@JustinKownacki I've been using it on my Evo 4G for months, and it has been a better experience in most instances.

@JustinKownacki Pittsburgh's own @cyanogen makes a custom Android ROM that will fix those issues. And more.

@shiflett Agreed. I'm uploading some songs now. The process is doable, but not very pleasant.

@shiflett I think it's meant to compete with the cloud-based music storage that Apple and Google keep not announcing.

@EliW That's a good idea for commercial public transportation too. Unfortunately services like that exist, but no one wants to pay for them.

@lxt So I should get some investors for my idea now, and then sell that shit off soon as I can?

Glad to be back in Pittsburgh. Detroit was great though.

@davidwain I always felt you and Will Ferrell were too alike. Mystery solved! You two are the only guys in comedy that are trying too hard!

@BobbyBurdette Seems to be mostly just because PNC's name is on a bunch of unrelated shit. And Baseball Season approaching.

I'm trying rstatus. YAY.

@steveklabnik That's neat and all, but Firefox 4 had 2 million downloads in the first 8 hours.

Gotta make my mind up. Which seat can I take?

@lachlanhardy I echo your sentiments.

@tlesher I won't be there tonight, but Jesse Legg should be there to get everything going. Was looking forward to the presentations too. :-(

@JustinKownacki You're not old school, you're /classic/.

@JustinKownacki Mozilla did some usability research for this release which likely showed that you are the only person using the home button.

@kevvyg I'm missing a favorite in April when I'll randomly be out of town for the weekend. Life sucks.

@ABCPlayer Why can't I stream The Middle anywhere? I always seem to miss it when it airs, but it's a fantastic show.

@funkatron Are you implying that one group of developers may need more hand-holding than the other two? if you aren't, I might be.

I prescribe Häagen Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream to anyone who has any problem, ever. Except when that problem is diabetes.

@coates Look for the sad version on the streets of Detroit tonight at about 2am.

@courtewing "Do it thoroughly," is the part most people miss. People like to do the bare minimum really well. Why not do it all really well?

@MattSchnauber Not a problem. We just need to get everyone to stop taking an ignored message or call so personally.

Thinking of buying some whiteboard paint. Any thoughts or comments on products and results?

@Microsoft Shouldn't you be advocating for people to upgrade all of your old products? I thought that was how you got new sales?

@elazar And to be clear, I would prefer nothing.

@elazar That's the problem though. They are supporting XP until 2014. All or nothing, I say! http://bit.ly/i4h9sz

@elazar It's a fact of life that there are large business that won't upgrade beyond XP for a few years still, and Microsoft knows that.

Sadly, with no XP support in #ie9, #ie8 is going to haunt us for years to come. Who made this decision?

@h I was never able to convince my former bosses that supporting IE7 was even less worthwhile than supporting IE6. Oh well.

@funkatron I had pastrami for lunch too! Too cool!

@Tetraboy There are a few inactive usernames that I'd take any one of, but @twitter apparently loves squatters more than active users.

@givan2code Thanks. I'm looking forward to the change.

Today is my last day working for PNC Bank. They've treated me well, but I'm moving on to build cool projects with @CROSCON.

@coates Doesn't a gesture like that just whiskey you off your feet?

@shiflett YUM!

Happy Birthday, @ramsey!

CRAP. Typos that sneak into tweets are literally THE WORST.

@the_simplist The whole tone of the movie seemed different from to me. Count me among the disappointed. You get some resolution though.

@BobbyBurdette I don't know. Wimax works in the latest CM7 nightly though. Finally.

@BobbyBurdette Not sure about the HTC version of 2.3, but CM7 2.3 does not do that. Also don't know about 2.4.

@BobbyBurdette Time to give Firefox Mobile another shot. Latest beta is much faster.

@MattSchnauber Go to sleep dude. I'm on my way myself.

Two hour delays? It's cold, Pittsburgh, get over it. Michigan is colder, and 2 hour delays don't even exist.

@alancolville I don't know you very well, but you've always been super nice to me. I hope your recovery is short and thorough.

@lachlanhardy I don't undestand the question. Vim is everywhere.

@BobbyBurdette Sorry we didn't make it out to your Happy Hour last night. Station Square is sooooo far! Maybe next week?

That or "You are not LaBoef."

@FictiveCameron I do not know this man.

Pulled off a successful red-light bus switcharoo today. Take that, Susan Boyle.

@BobbyBurdette Yep... just go to the apple icon, and then Software Update.

@BobbyBurdette Have to update OS X first.

@BobbyBurdette I did have a good holiday. How about you?

@lindseybieda WTH! You were rocking the alliteration big time, and yet you deviate from the obvious @lindseybieda staple for PERL?!

@tswicegood Aha. Nevermind. I DID miss the recent announcement.

@tswicegood Huh? Is there more to this than Turbo Gears being based on Pylons? I feel like I've known that for a long time.

@enygma I've found that not to be too much of an issue after a while of use, because Swype is really good at guessing.

@enygma If you count Swype among that number, you just haven't tried it long enough.

@givan2code Thanks! Happy Holidays!

@allthingsnoisy Haha. How sad is it that you have time to check in at the Squirrel Hill tunnel? Very clever.

@nezencreation Not sure if I responded to you yet. I would love to speak sometime in 2011. Let me know when you were thinking of.

@davidcoallier Wasn't disagreeing. I was just saying that good docs require both. /cc @janl

@BobbyBurdette Tell him if it's urgent, I'll come back in after lunch.

@BobbyBurdette Ugh. He was supposed to have the materials yesterday. Didn't get them until today.

Twitter's trending topics just spoiled How I Met Your Mother. How about a spoiler alert next time, @support.

@nateabele If that's the case, I'm no more comfortable with that than I am with being raped in the TSA line.

@nateabele Then we have to accept that common practice in the US has been to sexually assault every person that has been accused of a crime.

@nateabele While surely a violation of civil rights, calling these searches sexual assault is a bit sensationalist.

Are you kidding me? Four G2 buses past, all leaving their route before going downtown. Exactly what "service" are they cutting next year.

Now if only I could get rid of this stuffy nose and headache.

Had a blast at the first ever @pghpy meeting tonight. Met some cool people and drank beer. Special thanks to @bueda for making it happen.

@dotjay Your first problem was trying. You are clever effortlessly.

So, about two weeks ago @micheallarsen passed away. His music made a profound impression on me that want to share: http://bit.ly/cXP3zC

@BrotherAliMpls It really makes me feel better to know that all of you keep a piece of him with you in your art and lives.

@BrotherAliMpls Was really touched listening to you talk about @micheallarsen on the RSE radio show. His music made a huge impression on me.

@jwheare Exquisite Tweets seems broken at the moment. I can't get a single feature to work.

@MICHEALLARSEN Goodbye. It's unfair that you're gone, but if nowhere else, you made a difference in my life. And I bet I'm not the only one.

@MICHEALLARSEN It sucks that I'll never know what you would have done next. You had so much greatness in you. You were an inspiration.

@MICHEALLARSEN When By The Throat came out, I was blown away. Instantly excited to see what you would do next.

@MICHEALLARSEN I met you once at the Shelter in Detroit, and you were a fucking great guy. As inspiring to talk to as you are when you rap.

@MICHEALLARSEN More than anyone in your crew, I think I related to you the most.

Stunned to hear about the death of @micheallarsen. Most people will never even appreciate a fraction of what a gift he was to music.

@lukewelling Happy birthday!

The first @brooklynbeta was a true achievement. @shiflett and @fictivecameron should be given the highest praise for their efforts.

I had an effin' h of a night with @ramsey, @ElizabethN, @jperras, @ScottMac, @nateabele, @the_simplist, @dcian and a few others last night.

@ramsey So are we supposed to retweet the statement we agree with?

I can't wait for the start of @brooklynbeta tomorrow. This is the beginning of something awesome.

@JustinKownacki Re: the Detroit tweet. I guess my client doesn't know how to @-reply in response to a retweet.

@JustinKownacki So excited to see that you retweeted this. Honestly, I think you'd really fit in there.

@BurghPotPie Maybe it's a really affordable place in Europe.

@BurghPotPie Perhaps you misplaced the all-expenses paid trip to Europe?

@andreadisaster That's really sad. When your work is busy, I mean.

Societal norms be damned! Tonight I throw caution to the wind, and go to bed NOT on the hour.

@omarkj Nope, but it definitely looks like something I will want to spend some time exploring. Thanks for the link.

@ElizabethN Now for the backhanded part: a blog post called "70 Things That Make Ruby Devs Ashamed to Not Be PHP Devs"

Django has been good to me, but Pylons and CouchDB are exactly what this project needed to get moving. Glad to have finally found my rhythm.

🔁 1 ⭐ 2

@ElizabethN And then they'll say yes because of the implication...

Razzy Fresh just opened a new North Oakland location. Squirrel Hill just became obsolete.

Just did a lot of unfollowing. Mostly not individuals, just software projects and celebrities that I've put in lists. Yay!

Cannibal Ox streaming to my TV, check. BAC slightly elevated, check. It will be a miracle if I don't write 1000 lines of code tonight.

@TwonkyMedia I would really like to buy Twonky Server right now, but I can't. What gives?!

@DamonLindelof Thanks a lot you jerk. My umbrella was stolen on Monday. I still haven't forgiven myself for letting it out of my sight. :'-(

@cyanogen No offense intended. But without following @ChrisSoyars, I have no way of knowing what "that" is.

@cyanogen Prefixing your @-replies with a period punishes your followers that don't care what you have to say to people we don't follow.

@iainlee Please don't make me choose between unfollowing you and being forced to follow @AbsoluteIainLee.

@michaelianblack Well done.

@gmail I'm sure you are getting far more messages than you can handle right now. I want to send you a suggestion, but I will wait.

@SageFrancis She probably thought your dirty underwear WAS the terrorist attack.

@BrotherAliMpls It weirds me out how Minneapolis streets and landmarks seem familiar to me, even though I've never been to MN. Must visit.

@BurghPotPie I haven't heard him laugh. If he is in fact trying to hook up, he's all business about it. Not scruffy either.

OH "What is interesting to you about life." Old dude to attractive young woman at Union Grill.

@cyanogen Now my power is out. Duquesne Light can get effed in a very unpleasant way.

@iainlee I think addressing these people is beneath you. It degrades the quality of your tweets for your real followers.

@brian_dailey Mine doesn't.

@metromag This is obviously a trick question. /cc @DOOMTREE

@ramsey We ridicule people out of town for spelling write as right instead.

Tinkering with support for some new HTML 5 elements in the latest Firefox nightly and Opera. Fun!

Do you think Mark Zuckerberg regrets not auto-friending everyone? I guess he probably gets fewer requests to help move for beer and pizza.

@BobbyBurdette I can't believe they pushed such a major update without that.

@SageFrancis Mars attacks, with electric gats. Not for sapien abduction. What's up then?

I'm getting sick of the argument suggesting we should limit users' choice for their own good. It's tired rhetoric, and I don't buy it.

@joestump That so many people on Android use so many varying approaches to input is evidence that sometimes there is no single "right way."

@joestump It's absolutely right. Swype is a better keyboard than anything I've ever used on a touch screen. What is your problem with this?

@courtewing Oh, clearly I have no idea what IS going on. (spelling correction)

@courtewing I hope you meant pub-standards day. :-)

@courtewing It's not Beer Friday!

@cyanogen I hope your side of Pittsburgh is not my side of Pittsburgh.

@andreadisaster They were born in the future?!

@enygma I like Lost's "Whatever Happened Happened" approach. Not a movie, but I think it makes the most sense.

@davidcoallier, @ramsey Well, I guess I'm just a dumb-ass dodo bird. /cc @weierophinney

@weierophinney I disagree. We should all write code with the future in mind. Ugly probably means unpleasant to maintain.

@iainlee One of my favorite restaurants here in Pittsburgh was topping off their Artisanal Cheeseburger with it for a bit. Delicious.

@coates Haha, something struck me as odd in that scene, but I couldn't put my finger on it. You nailed it.

Does something magical happen to a Snickers bar with Almonds when you leave it in the freezer for several hours? You tell me.

♪Another manic Monday night, it's gonna be a long walk.♪ - Atmosphere, Always Coming Back Home To You

It's a Tuesday night, and the hard drive in my DVR is still. It's quiet. Too quiet.

@preinheimer Just as long as you didn't bring your Starcraft 2 Commemorative Wallet, which you carry genuinely.

@burghbaby Next thing you know, she'll be dancing at the Rock 'n' Roll Discos, and getting tattoos!

Attention Friends: Please do not call me with tons of fun things to do tonight. I'm thinking a bit of work, and a lot of sleep is in order.

Remember when the future was bright and anything was possible? #lifebeforestudentloans

@BrotherAliMpls The best part about Rhymesayers is the feeling that you guys actually care. Rhymesayers really do treat their fans best.

@BobbyBurdette http://bit.ly/bscMTw

@SageFrancis @BrotherAliMpls This makes me think: a Brother Ali / Sage Francis collaboration album would definitely be something to hear.

@SageFrancis @BrotherAliMpls But god damn, you two would make one hell of a rap-baby. Also, I just learned what pause means in this context.

RT @SageFrancis: I finally have "SageFrancis" as my official twitter URL. You can now find me at @SageFrancis RT's appreciated! #TheSque ...

@JustinKownacki I mean, you are certainly a dashing gentleman, but you really think you account for 3% of Baltimore's attractiveness?

I have confirmed that @brooklynbeta will occur before Grimaldi’s relocates. Don’t miss this chance for great web fun and pizza worship.

@levelupstudio When are WiMax and Wifi Hotspot widgets coming? Your widgets are way ahead of your competitors, but these are missing.

@elizabthsanchez Haha, it was in the wrong pocket of my backpack. :-)

@elizabthsanchez Did I leave my kindle on my desk?

@JustinKownacki How long have you been saving that joke?

@allthingsnoisy If you can get out of your AT&T plan, you owe it to yourself to try Android on any other carrier. AT&T ruins the software.

@CalEvans You are popular among robots, it seems. Perhaps Skynet will spare you.

@lindseybieda Maybe you've become invisible?

@andreadisaster Well, you can't be right about everything.

@DamonLindelof Sorry, I have to cancel.

@SageFrancisSFR Whether it be Mormonism or Islam or Catholicism, faith doesn't make someone a shitty person. Being a shitty person does.

@tswicegood Where in Michigan? I'll be in the Detroit area Thursday through Sunday.

I really hate when I make a change to a tweet right before sending it, and forget to re-read it to make sure it still makes sense.

@SageFrancisSFR By the way, I want to thank you killing my productivity this weekend by introducing me to Nardwuar. Seriously, thanks a lot.

@SageFrancisSFR At the end of the day, as long as Ari and Drama can find redemption and come out on top, I'm happy.

"Time of death: 10pm, 9 central."

@SageFrancisSFR I'll believe that it's not you when I hear that voice come out of someone else's face in person.

@BurghPotPie I'm clearly in need of expert assistance.

@BurghPotPie Then you had better come up with a pantry-stocking list for me too. I have Ritz Pretzel Crackers and some Oreos.

@BurghPotPie You can plan my grocery shopping for me then.

Welcome back, students! Looking forward to another year of disorderly conduct and crowded buses. Seriously, you all need to study more.

@h As long as they keep their hands off of Community, 30 Rock and Modern Family, I can handle it.

@EamonLeonard Couldn’t get past the first couple paragraphs of that. The author is trying way too hard for funny, and coming off as douchey.

@BobbyBurdette Nope. I got permission to hang back so I can finish some stuff up.

@JustinKownacki I agree... even in Fantasy and SciFi, most stories fit within a well-worn set of boundaries.

@kevvyg of course, you have to trust that the artists didn't deliver the content to them as MP3s already.

@JustinKownacki I enjoyed the lack of contrived plot devices to get from Point A to Point B. "Do you know a girl with hair like this?"

@kevvyg FLAC huh? I'm intrigued.

@CarltonCuse You ought to pay Pittsburgh a visit when your favorite team is in town. Beautiful park, and guaranteed win.

@gretamorgan Leave out the Pete and Pete, and you've got the best show EVER.

@BrotherAliMpls I'm with you… translation is a tricky thing, and accuracy is a constant process, not a state that can actually be reached.

@JustinKownacki I'm going to make the max donation, and cast all of my votes for Rob Sharp.

@JustinKownacki Welcome to Reality.

@JustinKownacki Oh, good.

@JustinKownacki I'm a little nervous here.... I hope you are reserving plenty of votes for yourself in casting.

"I see you eyeing my watch." "It's a Casio!" "You just proved my point, sticky fingers." @TheCarlWeathers and Dule Hill on Psych last night.

@nateabele I hear he's more of an Azure guy.

@HibariApp Nope. I'll test it more thoroughly in a bit. Maybe a false alarm!

@burghbaby Tomorrow is no good. I have to twitter-kick @JustinKownacki's ass from like 3pm to 7pm.

@HibariApp Also, I tried to refresh without a network connection, and now Hibari won’t refresh now that the connection is back.

@HibariApp I love the direction you are headed, but I need a profile viewer and autocompletion of usernames before I would buy.

@dshafik I'm green with envy.

@SageFrancisSFR Given your love of Clearchannel, I thought you might appreciate that.

@SageFrancisSFR The NAB and the RIAA are lobbying to require that all cell phones come with an FM tuner. So sad it's funny.

@iainlee Where is the Android app?

@burghbaby What I meant was that I follow you based on your own merits, not because you are in some category of bloggers.

@burghbaby I didn't mean it to be! I'm neutral on the subject of Mommy-Blogs, though I occasionally read yours if a story seems to be funny.

@SageFrancisSFR I was saying "we" as in you and I; Americans. We know to work. In Europe, they know how to live.

@burghbaby I'm not sure how I ended up following you, but I am certain it's not because you are a mommy-blogger.

@SageFrancisSFR I prefer to think we are work-crazy here. Who's to say which way of living is "right"? :-)

@burghbaby Nobody over-shares like you do!

Had a very Do-It-Yourselfy day today. Proud of what I accomplished.

@ConanOBrien Will you hurry up and get back on the air already.

Ripping my whole collection of CDs sucks. Ripping them all to FLAC so I don't have to rip them ever again makes it a bit better.

@preinheimer I'm interested... does your list of favorites change much if you look at the songs with the lowest skip count?

@SageFrancisSFR Sage Francis: web developer.

@ramsey My sentiments exactly. Only angrier. With so many F-words.

Attention Followers of @slango: I've changed names. Stay tuned here for the same fun and merriment you've come to expect.

Google's Voice Search recognized "Eyedea" properly. I'm impressed.

@JustinKownacki Good for her! Where do I send marriage proposals?

@tswicegood I get it! Because fish and small children don't have feelings or souls!

@SageFrancisSFR Stephen King has had some really great readers do his audiobooks. The person reading can make a world of difference.

@iainlee More importantly, when are you guys going to start rehashing episodes of Two and a Half Men! I need answers!

@andreadisaster Same here, only make that two years.

Making a better bleu cheese burger at home than Wendy's takes about 10 minutes, and little-to-no effort.

@coates What does it mean?! A full-on single rainbow!

@support Is there any chance twitter will ever support . in usernames? Can you require domain name ownership when you do?

How can Light Yogurt be so good when almost everything else diet or light is such garbage?

@BrotherAliMpls No offense intended, and I'm sure as hell not complaining about getting extra music. Just don't see the need to hide it.

RT @shiflett: @nateabele: Thanks for the heads up, jackass.

@BrotherAliMpls And though I love Say Shh and Always Coming Back Home to You (for example ), I don't always want to hear them back to back.

@BrotherAliMpls Definitely didn't mean to offend. I just don't like the extra 30 seconds of silence that breaks up the listening.

@BrotherAliMpls Can you tell all of your friends to stop putting "hidden" tracks on albums? It's a gimmick, and they are better than that.

@pmjones Happy Birthday! I knew you could do it!

@SageFrancisSFR That reminds me of an episode of How I Met Your Mother, where @ActuallyNPH's character always looks perfect in photos.

@andreadisaster There's still the quirky and fun gift shop in Shadyside.

Thanks to everyone that recommended umbrellas. I went with @johannacherry's suggestion: http://bit.ly/cE6bDY.

@JustinKownacki Seems like a cool project. Love Kickstarter.

RT @JustinKownacki: Wow! 2 days ago, this Kickstarter project needed almost $5K to get funded. With 1 day left, they only need $225! htt ...

@burghbaby That would be fantastic. Or even to let you recommend followers to a list. Clearly twitter needs to get you on the payroll.

@JanePitt I'm sorry I offended you, and I'm sorry that you would rather lose a reader than acknowledge friendly criticism.

@JanePitt I love sick kids as much as the next guy, but your twitter stream and blog are turning into a constant solicitation. Not fun.

@BurghPotPie I'd call the Post Office. Then you get to watch him freak out when he finds out that he's being watched.

@BrotherAliMpls Perhaps "Pop-Locking" is when you don't really know how to do either one correctly, so you just sort of mash them together.

@andreadisaster Is that like a lead-in for full-on, double casual Fridays?

@courtewing If you choose to do so, that's cool, but there's certainly no need to wait for the download.

@courtewing Are you on Windows? Why aren't you just using X-Chat from Silverex?

@lindseybieda Sounds more like misappropriation to me. :-)

@lindseybieda Doesn't "beta" mean Web 2.0, or AJAX, or HTML 5?

@johannacherry Great recommendation. Trying to figure out how to get one in the US.

Twitter: I am looking for an umbrella recommendation. I want something that can handle a decent amount of wind. Black or navy please.

@iainlee I think you, @geekytom and Paul Terry need to start a weekly podcast to discuss the latest developments on Jersey Shore.

@thereedoburrito I agree: it IS a bad representation of college. Then again it is what many kids expect, thus a valid marketing strategy.

@thereedoburrito Sounds like they are missing an excellent marketing opportunity.

@coates I've done that before.

@a Arthur, last name: King.

New guy working the grill at my work's cafeteria has a rough idea about how to make an omelette, but seems to think eggs cook in 5 seconds.

@ramsey Same thing happened to me two days ago. It just eventually went away.

@BurghPotPie Remember that I warned you when you are too busy being harassed by a room full of voyeurs to actually eat any of your food.

@BurghPotPie If you can refuse to kiss when people start tapping their glasses, you will be having my dream wedding.

I hope everyone follows @lisamusing, formerly known as @likapika. She's the coolest!

Touiteur for Android apparently does not supported unicode. What a shame.

@JanePitt To be fair, I think both make sense. Unlike when people say "mine as well".

@JanePitt "As god *is* my witness"? I always thought it was "God *as* my witness" We'll need to get an official ruling here.

@eyedeaabilities And then in Pittsburgh tomorrow! (I can hope, can't I?)

@JustinKownacki Also Sage Francis and Atmosphere. When Life Gives You Lemons You Paint That Shit Gold is my favorite album, any genre.

@brotheralimpls You don't know it, but you helped me expose some people to E&A, Dessa and @yeahrightpos today. Good job!

@cloverdew P.O.S., Dessa and Eyedea & Abilities should also be on your list. All amazing. /cc @JustinKownacki

@agentile Happy birthday!

@enygma Good luck on your job search. I'm sure you won't be unemployed long for want of opportunities.

@DamonLindelof Starring Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson: Perfect Strangers re-imagined as a mystery adventure. There's your idea.

So, Inception was a very good movie. Definitely one of the best philosophical/psychological action thrillers in recent memory.

@courtewing Keep an eye on mtrack, from @wezfurlong and the other smarty pants at Message Systems.

I really hate when bloggers simply repost a story from another blog with their own text, especially when a primary source is available.

Last night I caught the last 10 minutes of an episode of Lost. It was the first bit of Lost I've seen since the finale. It was bittersweet.

If I could only keep two bands on my phone/MP3 player for the rest of my life, they would be @dcfc and Atmosphere.

I'm in an Atmosphere mood today.

Began to appreciate the value of my Evo 4G today. GPS navigation was great. Only qualms with Android are the market apps, but stay tuned.

Had an awesome 4th of July with my mom today. Didn't see any fireworks, but we had a blast at the Pittsburgh Zoo.

"You can either choose the heart or the fist, but you will connect with me if your path ever intersects with me." - @BrotherAliMpls

Smart Keyboard Pro is drastically improving my Android experience.

I can't wait for Mozilla to release Fennec for Android. Based on the alpha it will be one of the best mobile browsers.

@davidcoallier I'll try to remember to give it a read. I haven't read anything from #phparch since they stopped print distribution.

@geekytom Arrested Development.

@wezfurlong Love the haircut. When @h says "go blonde" he is objectively wrong.

@BurghPotPie Haha, 7:28 AM arrived at 7:31 AM. You know PAT too well.

One thing that really makes me angry: the 7:18 AM bus showing up at 7:09 AM, hot on the heels of the 7:08 AM bus. #pghportauthority

@SageFrancisSFR Funny People is one of my favorites, glad you are enjoying it.

@lindseybieda Maybe she's afraid you will think the wants to invade your privacy and make you bland. #imouttahere

Congratulations to @courtewing, @echolibre's newest employee. I'm sure he'll enjoy his time there as much as I enjoyed mine, maybe more. :-)

@iainlee Why do people seem to dislike you so much? It's obvious that @geekytom is the villian.

@SageFrancisSFR Corny white boys just want jokes, this isn't a comic strip.

@a Sat down just in time to catch that one. Worst thing about soccer may be the way in which the refereeing is conducted.

@burghbaby Sorry to hear that. :-( Not a drop of rain in Oakland so far.

@burghbaby I take it you are not in Pittsburgh?

@woycheck You would think 7-11 would have higher standards.

Two words: Bon Journey.

@ramsey You can take a bus from China to Anchorage?

@ramsey I was being sincere.

@ramsey I love it when you liveblog your evening. :-)

I'm really struggling with this decision: Evo 4G, or Droid X. I'm not sure I can tolerate all of the empty space in Sprint's network.

@SageFrancisSFR Congrats on what sounds like an amazing show. Glad I wasn't in NYC today, with @yeahrightpos also performing… how to choose?

@allthingsnoisy That's my main rule for apologies... if you have to apologize, salvage the situation by making up an awesome new word.

@thatnight Congrats regarding the engagement! High five yourself for me.

@JustinKownacki Sorry about the unhelpful comment earlier. Surely you know I meant it teasingly and not doucheishly.

@JustinKownacki The whole internet hates the <center> tag. Welcome to the year 2000.

At $dayjob, I've been using a Windows (XP) machine for the first time in years. I'm finding Stardock Fences and VirtuaWin indispensable.

@SageFrancisSFR No need for national tours. Just be sure to swing by and visit the good people of Pittsburgh, PA when you feel like it.

@lindseybieda Glad I kind of, sort of helped!

@lindseybieda Are you using an SSB like fluid? Try clicking the "Sign in as another user" link, and then sign in as usual.

@itrebal Haha, I asked twitter for local healthy lunch options, and the only response I got was for a hot dog place. :-/

@JustinKownacki You just became a dinosaur.

@JanePitt Are you updated to the latest (and greatest?) Wordpress? Must stay on top of those updates (or switch to Habari).

Grabbing a delicious bite to eat at @franktuary. Surprisingly, it is not packed today.

@NicoleGenaw Happens once in a while. A friend in Canada said the same thing.

@VerizonWireless Plenty of great reasons to ban flash. Let's hope the Droid X has a way to disable it (if not remove it entirely).

Dear @verizonwireless, All you have to do to get me to pay an ETF to bail on @AT&T and Apple is announce a Droid X release date. Don't fail.

@YEAHRIGHTPOS If @papertigerDTR puts out an album of the same calibre as his label mates, people should be grabbing two of these.

@SageFrancisSFR The don't call him Tomato Face Francis for nothing.

@jdhtwo While @franktuary is delicious, I can only assume you are joking about them having many healthy options.

I don't say it nearly enough, @likapika is the best ever. If you have even a single bad thing to say about her, then you are a stupid idiot.

"For history's sake, will you please take notice." - Echo by the Hush Sound

Pittsburghers: So now that I work downtown, I need advice on where to find good and healthy options for breakfast and lunch. Any thoughts?

@elazar You could be a gentleman and test it using an alternate phrase list. Just a thought.

If you actually expect your software's community to file bug reports, allowing them to do so without creating an account will go a long way.

@thereedoburrito Haha. I love that.

I've come to an important conclusion: I don't care for dust jackets.

Dear @google, I would love for my Voice invite to arrive already!

@azizansari be sure to check out the @YEAHRIGHTPOS show at 8 at Phenom tonight if you are still in town. You will love the show.

@BrotherAliMpls He's an old dude... probably doesn't even know that he's wearing a hat, let alone why. I vote disregard and move on.

One positive aspect of work in this office: this chair is way better than the one I use at home.

If there was a correlation between soccer goals and closet cleaning, the World Cup would be in my pocket.

@JanePitt You live in the same town as Jeff Reed; which vice to exploit should be a no-brainer.

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations and condolences regarding my new job. I'm actually excited, despite having to work with pants on.

I enjoyed my last day of freedom today. On Monday I will start working (in an actual office) for PNC Bank's marketing department.

@BurghPotPie I hope your cat is okay!

@preinheimer I've noticed that too. I suspect your body discards most of McDonalds, and what is digested stays on your waist for a while.

@michaelianblack Not cheating if there is an oversized stuffed animal changing hands.

Enjoying the best miso soup in recent memory at Plum. If their sashimi is as good as last time, this will be an awesome dinner.

Played with Objective-C and iPhone app development a bit over the last few evenings. Really making me appreciate Python.

@lindseybieda And to make matters worse, does this mean the end of the custom Google logos for significant days?

@ActuallyNPH Fine, so invite Oprah to your party. But I don't know what everyone else is going to get you...

@burghbaby Big kids are such douches.

@JustinKownacki The other day, I was thinking that @stbd and other web shows should market themselves as the answer to the summer TV void.

@andreadisaster What's wrong with that? I say that several times a week.

@80miles There is a commercial in there, somehow.

@joestump Go see Get Him to the Greek... you can make it a theme for tonight.

Saw Get Him to the Greek tonight. The popcorn stuck in my teethe will probably have a more lasting impact.

@jontangerine Given things like that, and problems on case-sensitive file systems, I really wonder how Photoshop is as good as it is.

@iainlee Masked crime-fighting team?

@azizansari I think we have very different definitions of "INCREDIBLE".

@shiflett But you can't use them outside of Safari. God damn Apple trying to hoodwink people that don't know any better.

"Well, the todo list grew thin, but I still haven't proven myself to myself or done an album with Rick Reuben." Sage Francis

@coates I was satisfied with the finale. I feel like the characters and the story have closure, and that's all I can ask for.

@wezfurlong Wow... I didn't make a powerpoint presentation for school until college. (No one did)

@andreadisaster There are too many damn farmers markets in this city!

@andreadisaster Transatlanticism never gets old. I think it's probably their best album, though I love The Photo Album too.

"I'll take the best of your bad moods and dress them up to make a better you." - Death Cab from Transatlanticism and earlier is the best.

@DamonLindelof Having made Lost, do you ever think it's cute that all of your peers just seem to try so hard. :-)

@JustinKownacki I'm on the Pandora bandwagon for sure, but the best way to find music that I like is still word of mouth.

@JustinKownacki I'm not a big fan of genius. Last time I used it, it was clearly based on sales, not musical qualities.

@CalEvans http://bit.ly/cFXpsc Your facts are incorrect. I suggest you retract your tweet. :-)

@CalEvans Your facts directly contradict my facts. George HW Bush NEVER went to Arlington on Memorial Day for example.

@auroraeosrose Now that is a sentiment I can get behind! Though to be fair, almost all of them, including Obama have observed in some way.

@auroraeosrose See my last tweet @CalEvans.

@CalEvans Bush skipped at least twice, his father never went as president, and Reagan spent it in Florida one year. No double standards!

Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies Ice Cream is the best ever.

@BrotherAliMpls Time for a sequel to The Session?

@JMalecki (Which should not be taken as a slight to those that do prefer .Net in any way. Everyone has their own preferences.)

@JMalecki That's because there are few worthwhile developers that prefer .Net over the many alternatives. Get UPMC on Open Source!

@burghbaby ?

@shiflett Why are so many features of OS X hidden like Easter Eggs?

@iainlee Congrats on your last TLI. I'll miss watching you guys. Except for @geekytom, of course.

@iainlee I was at that show. Look for the totally awesome dude with the girlfriend that looks like she's a year away from crushing his soul.

@JustinKownacki I don't think many casual twitter users would pay. Social media guys might, but they'd just be marketing to each other then.

@DamonLindelof Congratulations on a satisfying finale. There were many brilliant moments of television in that 2.5 hours.

Head is still spinning after the #Lost finale. I feel satisfied though, even though a few questions remain.

Happy Birthday @shiflett!

@JustinKownacki Please don't reinvent the ".@" clusterfuck, which is still an annoyance to many users to this day.

Dear @google, I'm going to lunch during your first keynote. I expect some cool new stuff to exist by the time I get back.

@JustinKownacki If you are in Pittsburgh this weekend, you have to try Union Grill's new burger. It will make your week.

Damn you, Aperture Science. You have got me hooked once again!

RT @pghpy: While we sort out our disagreements with Meetup.com, anyone interested should join http://bit.ly/dcpWS2. Please retweet.

@funkatron I have to agree. I've been quite happy with Slicehost for nearly 2 years. Love 'em.

@JanePitt Just remind them that a July article should be about the sun, which hasn't exactly been coming out to inspire you lately.

@JanePitt Wish Las Velas was open a bit later! I have a tendency toward late dinners.

Attention yinz! I am starting up a Python user group. If anyone knows a local company that might donate space for meetings, let me know.

@burghbaby Yeah, because who knows if the Pengs could actually beat the Red Wings in a Stanley Cup finals again.

@burghbaby The joy of working for an Irish company are the awesome Irish holidays. I'll be enjoying Labour Day tomorrow.

Just saw a trailer for the MacGruber movie. Can't wait.

Software People: I would love to hear your best pitch on why your system for organizing your projects and personal files is the best ever.

Damn! I forgot to switch the file system to case-sensitive HFS+ before copying data over to my new MacBook Pro.

@geekytom Ahaha! Classic mix-up!

@geekytom Ouch! Looks like Paul Terry just got a new supporter for this week's Theory Battle.

@geekytom One week off and you seem without a purpose. What are you going to do when Lost ends?

@EamonLeonard Glad you were able to reschedule! Hopefully @h doesn't ruin it again.

@YEAHRIGHTPOS So pissed that I couldn't get tickets. Give them a hell of a show tonight, and come back soon.

@woycheck The answer to any sports interview question is just a mixture of these words: effort, attitude, work hard, focus, "not guilty".

I'm glad everyone in Pittsburgh is tweeting their cheers and cries for the Penguins now instead of shouting them at their TVs.

@JFSIII If they lasted 10+ years, I can't understand why you would buy anything but the same product.

@YEAHRIGHTPOS I love your random, single-word, without-context tweets.

I know it's a bit late for dinner, but that doesn't change the fact that I am hungry, but I don't know what I want!

@burghbaby Why do turkeys have sex? Can't they just fly off to wherever the storks get the babies from and pick up their own?

MacBook Pro ordered! This is where I become a self-loathing Apple user of my own free will.

@shiflett There's got to be a better way to say that.

Dear Duqesne Light: Thunder? Lightning? You might as well just park a truck at the corner of Craig St and Bayard St now.

@michaelianblack Thanks for coming out tonight! You guys totally proved all of my friends who say your live show sucks to be hyperbolizers.

@ElizabethN Yes you can. But only you.

Wearing green today for the announcement that I've joined the good folks at @echolibre. I think that makes me an honorary Irishman.

@billpeduto I think Detroit has been old for a while, but they've managed to hide it based on sheer willpower. Don't count them out yet.

@robtreat2 Are they shocked at the awesome power of a command history in the client postgresql client app?

@JustinKownacki ANYONE that thinks that Apple even knows the word benevolent ought to be slapped.

@burghbaby I detest the word "cusses." Can we say "curses" or "swears"?

@JustinKownacki I'm not sure most athletes would welcome being compared to the Detroit Lions.

@carmanavenue I have to contest @woycheck on this one. I strongly recommend Echofon for both the iPhone and OS X. It updates frequently too.

@burghbaby How does it feel to hinge your hopes upon the failures of other people? I'm on your team for the sheer evilness of it! #MR4CRAZY

Product placement has gotten way too blatant in television lately.

Perhaps I'm weird, but I feel like I am the only PHP developer that just wants to find a company I really like, and stick there for a while.

Pittsburgh friends: Lease renewal time is coming quick, and I am thinking of finding a new place again. Pitch your favorite neighborhood!

I would love to bike around Pittsburgh. Perhaps if I can revamp their drivers ed program and arrange a mandatory retake for Pennsylvanians.

@shiflett Brooklyn Half-Mile? Good luck!

@jordanmessina I didn't say that it wasn't marketable. The hype makes it very marketable. I think it's just more of a novelty than useful.

@jordanmessina I cannot imagine that being the case, but I suppose time will tell.

I still do not understand the iPad hype. The iPhone was the kind of thing that changed an industry. The iPad might change my Sunday nights.

Someone send @h a message. He's so lonely lately.

@jordanmessina Are you enrolling at Pitt?

@darrenthedude You guys should stop by Pittsburgh on your way back to Chicago! /cc @therobertmorris @gretamorgan

@EamonLeonard So they're looking for a code secretary? I like the "must be on call" part. If the Senior Programmer gets an idea at 1am...

Grand by Matt & Kim was not a good investment.

@Lost_Initiative Where are your archives? Rewatching Lost with a friend who is just getting into it, and we'd love to hear old episodes.

@JMalecki Suck it, Trebek! I vote that the @JMalecki show should air daily!

@JustinKownacki It's more likely that the Droid happened to look for the new message sooner after the message was received than Gmail did.

@JustinKownacki Don't worry. I'm sure all of the employees are still bringing their own from home. Cleanliness is next to godliness.

@BrianRosenberg As a future health care worker, this should be good news for you. Your job security is way up.

@coates I get that when flying to DTW from PIT. Flying anywhere else from PIT by way of DTW is $50 to $100 cheaper than to DTW.

@ramsey Uh oh. You would have been the one I would have asked such a question.

@JanePitt Yeah, but if you use your imagination, isn't an MRI machine kind of like a spaceship?

@JanePitt At this rate, you might as well start donating MRI machines... #MR4K

@JanePitt Does Yahoo! pick randomly, or does it attempt to pick well?

@YEAHRIGHTPOS Are you playing with Brand New in Pittsburgh next month? Why didn't you mention it 3 weeks ago when I messaged? It's sold out.

@jordanmessina Finally, another Python developer in Pittsburgh! Commence endless tweeting of useful information, please.

@woycheck Bad news for you... Good news for me. :-)

@billpeduto Long live the rotary dial! Enjoy: http://bit.ly/a24qpR

@jontangerine Good point. It also highlights one of the most frustrating usability issues of Flash content in general.

Good luck @shiflett and @funkatron. Looking forward to seeing rave reviews of your presentation.

@a That would have been wasted on me.

@h On the contrary... Foreign Keys rock. Hey Database. What's that? You want to guarantee that I only insert good data? Why thank you!

@dshafik Meant to wish you the best a while ago, but at the time the only thing I could think of was "good luck" which seemed too grim.

@burghbaby Well, if you stand to lose $1000, I think it would be worth it to buy any phone.

@JustinKownacki In total sincerity... my favorite tweets of yours are when you are working in a random café and providing commentary.

Days like today are worth waiting through winter for.

@coates Jealous.

@davidcoallier Not concise enough if you can't fit it into 140 characters. :-)

March is here and the snow is in for a serious reckoning. I could not be happier.

@burghbaby To be honest, I love Michael J Fox and hate jokes which make fun of his condition. And Chile is great too!

@thomaslennon It is pretty bad ass that you can tweet while skiing though.

@burghbaby Clearly the parent of a girl scout needs to move into my apartment building. I'm craving Thin Mints like nobody's business.

@andreadisaster Surely there are a number of couches available to you in this city before you turn to that!

@andreadisaster How's the apartment hunting going? Hopefully better...?

@elazar What am I missing? That seemed way too excited for a bug fix release.

@jontangerine How is that not supposed to make us all jealous?

@JanePitt The really depressing thing is the thought of all the kids in the world that don't have an Ali and Jamie to fight for them.

Looking out the window in Oakland, I wonder if yinz really understand the word "whiteout".

@shiflett Way to go! Have fun!

@burghbaby DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITTTTTTTTT!

Bell's Two Hearted and a fantastic Valentine's Weekend menu at Kaya pleased my palate tonight. It ends tomorrow, so find an excuse to go!

@JanePitt Be sure to remind them that by saying that, they forced you to learn something that is otherwise totally useless to you.

@BurghPotPie @JanePitt Just get in touch with the person however you normally would. It's just nerdy slang.

@JanePitt @BurghPotPie It comes from the command ping, as in "ping google.com." Honestly, pinging people makes more sense in real-time chat.

@JanePitt When you "ping" a computer, it's a way of checking to see if it's there and will respond. The same applies for people, I guess.

@andreadisaster Be careful!

@BrianRosenberg Take pleasure in the fact that soon they won't be hearing music at all.

Had a blast hanging out with my Dad this weekend. Looking forward to a productive week!

@ramsey I hate that... I always remember the very moment I press enter.

Totally having a blast redesigning my blog. I probably wouldn't give up this fun to even the best designer in the world. #tomsawyer

@funkatron I thought you were already doing that for fun anyway.

@thereedoburrito I figured it was either that, or you hang out with your friends Marshall, Lily, Barney and Robin at MacLaren's too much.

@thereedoburrito Stop telling girls you love them on the first date then!

On the other hand, I find it interesting that the part I like least about #pylons so far (Routes) is actually a port from Rails.

Dear #pylons: I learned #django first, and I thought I would hate you, but I actually think you're kind of neat. Don't tell #django!

@andreadisaster Booo reruns!

@auroraeosrose Yowza! That is a joke, right? Perhaps Zend should output hidden paragraphs full of thousands of keywords too.

@JustinKownacki So being in a film festival cancels out being titled "Herpes Boy." I get it.

@funkatron Time for Spaz to start a donations drive.

@JustinKownacki More importantly, Herpes Boy has apparently been accepted. This is rock bottom.

@lasvelas Great. Planning a night out with some friends, one of whom is vegan. Can't wait to visit.

@JanePitt Based on everything we've heard about your mother, I would totally read that blog.

@lornajane You just tell 'em @slango sent ya. :-)

@JanePitt Oddly enough I was watching the first season of The Tudors on Showtime tonight, which also features those crazy Boleyn girls.

@BurghPotPie Was he telling you that you "dropped your smile" because some dude said that to me, and then I actually did drop my smile.

@k3ri I'm sure it was said with more enthusiasm than that!

@allthingsnoisy Everyone deserves a turn!

@andreadisaster Did @thatnight bail on you?

@andreadisaster I think it's annoying when people who have suffered a misfortune say "It's not your fault" when you say "I'm sorry."

I wonder if Facebook is working on a way to indicate when a "page" is run by the person or organization it is for.

@JanePitt True story? I would think the true story would be most helpful in getting these poor kids some help. I'm confused.

@BrianRosenberg Thank god you retweeted the most boring sentiment I have ever heard, even among the worthless drivel that is One Tree Hill.

@JustinKownacki Droid man. No question.

@JanePitt Quit stalling! You knew we'd do it, you should have had the photo ready.

@JustinKownacki I just remembered something that I really miss from STBD: Suicidal Gunshow, more specifically Violet.

@ZacharyQuinto You should donate to @JanePitt's cause. It's for the kids! Also, you should humiliate @tehraven publicly for being a jerk.

"Web-Developers": The pain of using your flash-based site is almost always worse than the loss of the content on the site.

I'm seriously one of the most selfish Pittsburgh residents ever, and even I donated for the kids. You should too! http://thatschurch.com/

Note to self: when trying out twitter's new retweet feature, pick something worth retweeting.

Lots of errands completed today. Feeling vaguely productive.

I had forgotten how awesome of a movie Star Trek (the new one) is.

@nateabele It rocks. Improves on the first in almost every way, especially in reducing repetitiveness. Stop by and give it a whirl any time.

Is it sad that I rewinded my DVR to watch a commercial because the kid from Dexter (Cody) was in it?

@nateabele Picking up Assassin's Creed II tonight. Excited.

@andreadisaster This question just occurred to me: Are you doing NaNoWriMo this year?

On a day like today in Pittsburgh, I think we really have achieved the perfect amount of global warming.

@lilymarie406 Hey! Thanks for following me. Hope you enjoy Twitter.

@andreadisaster People need to wait until after Thanksgiving to start that crap. it's still the better part of 2 months away!

@davidwain Are you in hollywood? It's not even 8 there! Get back to bed!

In Roseville, house-sitting for my parents. If anyone wants to hang out, they ought to give me a call or Facebook message me.

@JMalecki The "Cool hair" thing is what really did it for me.

@JMalecki Exactly, and I can tolerate it to some extent (my last job was hiring PHP Ninjas) but that one goes too far to keep my respect.

@JMalecki It is douchey, and you know it.

@JMalecki I thought you might enjoy this, as an example of how to not write a job listing: http://www.mansef.com/?t=careers#5

@preinheimer Holy crap. Who wrote Mansef's job listing for "Extreme Web Developer"?

@shiflett You nerd. @dotjay Happy Birthday!

@JustinKownacki Deja vu.

@JanePitt Doooooo itttttt!

@gregchiasson: Pro rap click: http://www.joeybeats.com/mp3/bounce.mp3. @agentile wouldn't paste it in IRC for me.

@burghbaby I had a lot more jargon ready where that came from... damn 140 character limit! :-)

@burghbaby I had a really great blog post on Shared Foreign Keys and Many to Many tables in Relational Databases. What did you think?

/me kind of wishes @janepitt's husband's restaurant would deliver something delicious to me right now.

@ElizabethN :uggh:. Already? Can't we stall for a month?

"Built a prison out of conjugal visits, now I rock a fake grimace on my face to catch the kisses." Slug (of Atmosphere). #obscureraplyric

@scottmac Damn! I knew you looked weird, but couldn't put my finger on it.

In the immortal words of @gregchiasson: :uggh:

John Stewart has stepped up to a new high lately with his constant onslaught of calling out the news networks for their bullshittery.

"I could handle this if my man Ant would just give me a chance to scatter semantics across his canvasses." another Brother Ali quote.

@jlknott Oh, I've been to Detroit. My ex went to school there, I worked there in high school. I know it's not as bad people make it seem.

@JustinKownacki Something is fishy here... Detroit ranked 12th? Then why does Detroit get such a bad rap?

@JMalecki "Bad" doesn't describe it. "Shameful" is the word you are looking for.

I am very impressed with the latest Kubuntu release. Regular Ubuntu is looking great too, but Kubuntu is wow.

@atebits Your custom-scrollbar in Tweetie Mac absolutely sucks with the Magic Mouse. Maybe you aren't as clever as Apple after all?

Great... At some point I got noisy neighbors. The King Edward's standards have really gone downhill.

Very nearly forgot to go to class today, and I have an exam! Whoops!

Sometimes I hate how multimedia everything is getting. Particularly when I click a link and expect text, but get a video instead.

Thanks to Twitter's new Lists feature, I now know that I am following 18 PGHers, and 46 PHPers.

I've probably tweeted this before, but it's worth repeating: http://bit.ly/5nxIS

@akrabat IIRC, no.

@auroraeosrose Do they even HAVE PDFs in Sturgis? I'm doubtful.

Had a pretty exciting day. Optimistic and enthusiastic about the future.

@michaelianblack Democracy just kicked All the World's ass. Big time. Actually, it was me. I kicked All the World's ass.

@shiflett I think my goal will be to attend OSCon, and speak at one of the MTA conferences in 2010.

@michaelianblack Tell your fans to click this URL to vote for you instantly (which means faster!): http://bit.ly/1nrEFf It works.

@michaelianblack I've got you covered on the votes. Don't you worry.

@michaelianblack You can thank me at your leisure.

Updated my blog entry for clarity. Fun with many-to-many relationships and overlapping foreign keys! http://bit.ly/3KIbZX Please re-tweet!

New blog post: A Many-to-Many Relationship with a Shared Foreign Key. Check it out! http://bit.ly/3KIbZX

Proofreading my first blog entry in many months. This is a pretty good one, I think. Stay tuned!

Nobody tell @shiflett that I said this, but thank god for New York City!

@nateabele Then you succeeded.

@nateabele Nothing says cutting edge like an I Love Lucy reference. Later, you can see a talkie before getting a drink at the speakeasy.

@ElizabethN I'm pretty sure the most awkward thing you can possibly do is attempt to stage awkward family photos.

@cswank I understand your offense at that professionally, but I sure hope your not offended in defense of the good name of homecoming courts

@michaelianblack Oh, crap! I didn't realize there was a second page. Consider yourself voted for.

@shiflett It seems weird to say "on @smashingmag" as opposed to "in @smashingmag", even though I supposed 'on' is more correct.

PGHers: I need a recommendation for a tailor that can raise the hem on a pair of jeans for me. Preferably near Oakland.

@michaelianblack Damnit, Black (not racist) I thought you were serious that time. You're a sandbagging son of a bitch.

@JustinKownacki We need fewer "experts" and more interesting people. Companies can hire an interesting person to make them seem interesting.

@JustinKownacki Answer: no.

PGHers: I need a recommendations for a tailor that can raise the hem on a pair of jeans for me. Preferably near Oakland.

"I'll have a milk-steak boiled, and raw jelly beans please."

@a What you mean is it's unfortunate that an establishment so undeserving has such an excellent location.

@ElizabethN Happy birthday! Somehow you got a whole year wiser, despite hanging around with the likes of us!

Roland Emerich (director of Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and 2012) must really have an axe to grind with humanity.

@BurghPotPie Someone's a lucky guy.

That was ridiculous! Young girl, maybe 5, was going table to table at McDonalds talking to strangers while her mother ignored her.#parenting

@gregchiasson I had never heard John Darnielle before that song, but I think I'll start hearing him some more.

@gregchiasson ? PS: None Shall Pass by Aesop Rock is a brilliant song. Also Coffee. Check those out before you pass judgment.

Random lady at McDonalds: I know I'm not going to abduct and murder your kid, but you don't, so maybe object when she talks to strangers.

@BurghPotPie Holy crap.

@JustinKownacki I like the picture that makes it seem like this is what's going on behind the employees only door at your local IHOP.

Don't think I'm stupid because of this tweet, but do pirates like parrots because they sort of sound the same?

ABC's The Forgotten is actually a pretty quality show. I think I'll be following this one from now on.

@burghbaby There's a good chance we'll ask for photos anyway.

@scottmac Well therein lies the problem: you were planning your trip with a specific girl in mind. You should be more open minded.

@scottmac You should have flown into PIT.

@ramsey Invite me, and let the fun begin!

@shadow I'm right between North Oakland and Shadyside, and travel is acceptable. Looking for carry-out or delivery though.

PGHers: What should I have for dinner tonight?

I just want to send this out into the universe: I would like a Google Wave invite.

@80miles La Bagel Delight is all you ever need to know about breakfast if you are in Brooklyn fool.

Song of the day: Marching Bands of Manhattan by Death Cab for Cutie.

Recently I've been getting my feet wet with Python and Django. PHP, I will always love you, but Python makes me feel young again.

@Jenana37 As-is, the developer can provide security and stability bug fixes to the old version for people not willing to pay to upgrade.

@podcmpcleveland Consider http://joind.in for your conference. It's a free service that connects speakers and attendees for feedback.

Checking out the new Nambu from @nambucom. Seems better than what I recall of the last version, though DMs are implemented weirdly.

If dirty laundry could bleed, tonight would be a blood bath.

@JMalecki If it's a life-size statue of me for the office, you shouldn't have.

Justin is a die hard Ravens fan. #pcpgh4

Podcampers: Check out http://habariproject.org as a cool alternative to Wordpress (and be proud of supporting quality PHP code). #pcpgh4

@lukewelling, @lxt Congratulations! Glad to hear everyone is well!

@andreadisaster How's it going waaaaaaay back there at the end of the lunch line?

Great content and a great presentation on Internet security from @kevvyg, despite a very chatty audience. Check the webcast.

Seriously @JMalecki's talk was fantastic. If you missed it, watch the video later!

@JMalecki Totally just picked her nose during her awesome "Social Media Gets You a Job" talk. :-) #pcpgh4

@coates perhaps this will help: check out the craft beer blog www.shouldidrinkthat.com. The guys who run it were pretty amusing in person.

Grabbing a post #pcpgh4 meal and drinks with @andreadisaster, @thatnight and every other blogger in Pittsburgh.

Dismayed by how eager people are to give up other people's IP rights at #pcpgh4.

@JustinKownacki Per our conversation today, check out the latest albums from Atmosphere and P.O.S too.

There will apparently be a debate about IP later today as a part of this event. Looking forward to that. #pcpgh4

Interesting talk from @robjdlc about licenses. I can't say I agree with everything, but glad people are thinking about licenses. #pcpgh4

In my first session at #pcpgh4, listening to a pretty interesting talk about communication.

Woke up a bit late today, but finally en route to #pcpgh4. Bummed to have missed seeing Councilman Peduto's opening speech.

@JMalecki If we didn't bring our laptops, how would we be able to tweet about it when you accidentally pick your nose during your talk?

@andreadisaster How are you getting downtown for #pcpgh4 tomorrow?

@JMalecki Sorry to hear that! Be sure to give yourself time to relax.

The Forbes Ave Qdoba just gave me the worst dining experience in recent memory.

@JFSIII Champion by Brother Ali: http://bit.ly/5bA0E

Sometimes I tweet song lyrics (not by me) when they get stuck in my head. I hope you don't mind.

And if I lose my voice then instead of saying raps I'll start painting facts on the walls with hot crayola crayon wax.

@BurghPotPie LOL. We're going to have to cease this senseless debate sometime, so I concede.

@BurghPotPie That's not my understanding.

@BurghPotPie Well, of course I picked that course number because everyone knows that all molecular bio majors are beautiful women.

PodCampers: What's a VIP pass, and should I be sad that I don't have one?

@BurghPotPie Probably… I really just picked a number at random, then my OCD-side forced me to look up the nearest actual course number.

@andreadisaster Thanks for the reminder. I sent an email. We'll see what happens, I suppose.

@andreadisaster Ooh, I nearly forgot about that. I probably should, huh?

At the beautiful Cathedral of Learning, surrounded by beautiful women, wishing I knew something witty to say about BIOSC 1240.

@elviejo79 I miss you already!

@itrebal Damn, Graham! You just missed us all!

Just landed at PIT. My #cw09 adventure is officially over. Looking forward to getting back to my apartment for some relaxation.

@ramsey If you are getting Grimaldi's tomorrow, I might be able to join you guys. My flight leaves at 2pm. Let me know when you are going.

Sorry to everyone that was spammed my direct messages to @likapika all evening. Twitter + SMS is a deadly combo.

@sabotek Glad you had fun! Welcome to the PHP community.

@coates SMS + Twitter is just a dangerous idea.

@davidcoallier Nope. It wasn't that kind of situation at all. Was just trying to introduce a new face to some people.

My Grimaldi's attempt with @agentile and @likapika was heroic, yet still a failure. Maybe dinner?

You are surely welcome to leave your bags in my room tomorrow though. It's on Smith St, between Atlantic and State St. http://tr.im/ABhv

@likapika, @sabotek Tomorrow it is then. If we're lucky, maybe even @agentile will join us.

About to depart PHL (or whatever it is) for LGA. Yay for flying!

On my way to NYC this afternoon for #cw09. If anyone is interested in joining me for sight-seeing today or tomorrow, let me know.

Thank you! To all of the members of the PHP community that tweeted or re-tweeted kind words in an effort to help my job hunt.

@thatnight Some things we aren't supposed to understand.

Everyone keeps telling me today that visiting Old Sac is a must. Where the fuck am I?

@mtabini It seems I gave PyMag some attention in #python by asking about the quality of it. Sounds like at least 1 subscription coming.

It's always so sad when an otherwise good joke is ruined by a typo.

@JanePitt If I here the Dave Chapelle/Wayne Brady "choke a bitch" line one more time, I will drive this car into a telephone pole!

Apparently I cycled nearly 9 miles on the stationary bikes today... Pretty sure there are easier ways to burn 250 calories.

@ElizabethN Wild Ginger sounds like @ramsey's archnemesis.

http://kanyelicio.us/http://nasloan.com

@thatnight It's too early to think about Halloween. I'm still holding on to Summer. Check back in a month!

@SaraMG Sorry to hear that, in both cases. :-(

@funkatron Make sure it has the option to split tracks on a given number of seconds of silence.

@brian_dailey Congratulations! I bet your kid will rock!

@JMalecki Tried my best to use internet trickery to get myself more than 10 votes, to no avail.

@ktavelli Brats on the grill? I sure hope you cooked someone else's kids!

@thatnight Wasn't paying attention to twitter this weekend, but I'm glad to see that you survived your weepy date.

@JMalecki Damn. I thought you meant the vet was sniffing the floor and getting hair all in his beard.

@shiflett Oh wow. I'm sure that issue was tremendously important to some people. :-( I agree… bad choice.

@ramsey I had fun chatting with you guys tonight too, however brief it was. Let's do it again when OS X and Flash get their shit together.

@allthingsnoisy They've got your number now... The judges are like, "Yeah, this woman actually shows up, and seems to have a capable brain."

@shiflett You can't escape type-gurus these days, it seems. Not that you'd want to. :-)

@preinheimer From Sports to Sci-Fi in only 5 seasons? That's even better than the change from Sci-Fi to Fantasy toward the end of BSG

@CarmanAvenue True enough. Nobody wants to sleep with someone that would weep over the likes of me.

@thatnight Hopefully these tweets will deter future date-weepers.

@itrebal Good thing you stopped to tweet about it.

@thatnight He's on a date with the beautiful and famed @thatnight! What the heck does he have to be weeping about anyway?

@thatnight Hey... you have to leave... someone just died.

@JustinKownacki I liked to believe that Williams evolved.

@JustinKownacki The better question is how is he connected to you?

@ElizabethN http://twitter.com/JanePitt/status/3901558515

@ElizabethN What's that? You're glad you got a Pittsburgh Steelers player for your fantasy team? Say that a little bit louder please.

RT @JMalecki: Iowa is beating us by 3,000 now! Please vote to help Pittsburgh's sick children! http://xbox.childrensmiraclenetwork.org

@lxt @shiflett Knows all about addresses. You should put him up against the next FedEx guy that gives you trouble.

@andreadisaster That's something he should be proud of. No apology necessary. "I'm a monsteeeeeeeeeerrrrrr!"

@JustinKownacki You hear that? It's official, Puppets To Be Desired, produced by @slango and @allthingsnoisy coming soon!

@allthingsnoisy Let's make our own STBD... sure, I don't know any actors, but we can do it with puppets. We're way funnier anyway! :-)

@JustinKownacki Is it about STBD? Complete with a new episode? With Rob Sharp? And Jack? Hope so.

@shiflett ♪ If you having twitter problems, I feel bad for you son, I follow 99 people, but Jay-Z ain't one! Hit me! ♪

@shiflett I would add Feeds and Things, neither of which I've seen mentioned so far. #iphonemusthaves

@JMalecki Clearly an undercover CIA operative. Clearly.

The topic of the evening news-paper, rock, scissor-leg KICK this one here for me and my DJ Red alert the masses to the words that I say...

Databases design is one of my favorite tasks in software development, despite being the task I find to be most frustrating.

@jontangerine Thanks for making me feel self-conscious about not having ANY font organizing/browsing app at all.

@tzutzanu I don't know, but if not, OmniTI should fork it and adopt it as one of our fine OSS contributions.

@coates Ah! Enable the "Show Icon in Dock" option. Kind of lame, but it fixes it.

@coates Quicksilver is working fine with spaces for me... though I had to do something to make it so. I'll message you when I remember what.

@coates I don't take kindly to people talking about summer as if it's ending.

Say what you will, I'm going to bed early tonight, and I am proud of it.

@Sweetbadazz Dude... hang on to @sweetbadazz though if you get your real name. I definitely see a feature deal coming from that name.

@mshowalter Do you have a significant role? Does Chris Meloni get to smash your face in? Do you have a dance number with him? Can't wait!

@lukewelling Don't get me started.

@allthingsnoisy If he brings ice cream... no big deal.

@SaraMG ♫ Patents just don't understand. ♫ :-)

@mtabini How soon does my PHP|Arch subscription kick in from PHP|Tek? Just curious.

@choculap How soon does my PHP|Arch subscription kick in from PHP|Tek? Just curious.

@michaelianblack And then I say something.

Watching @coates create the soon to be world-renowned Coatesmeal Stout. A learning experience.

@SaraMG "fecking"? Did you have to stop using "frack" once BSG ended?

@SaraMG I have to respectfully disagree with @elazar. Lemon ice cream sounds fantastic. How do you make it?

@allthingsnoisy I don't know... you're in pretty good company. Maybe it's secretly lame to have a short twitter handle? Uh oh!

@BurghPotPie Cookies are clearly the most mysterious of all food products.

@allthingsnoisy, @andreadisaster, @justinkownacki What is it with yinzers and ridiculously long twitter handles?

How does anyone manage to actually make cookies? Cookie dough is too good.

@andreadisaster Well if you're ever bored in or around Oakland/Shadyside, feel free to tweet at me. :-)

@iheartpgh Well now I'm spending it with nothing but hatred for you in my heart for reminding me that this is the last Sunday of the summer.

@andreadisaster Schenley Park, Best Park! :-) If you get bored, let me know. I don't mind excuses to get out of the apartment.

@andreadisaster Oh cool. That's on my "eventually" list. Which park are you reading at?

@andreadisaster Whatcha reading? BTW, seems more like you're tweeting in the park.

VirtualBox is such a pimp. Despite the tragedy that my session just underwent, my virtual machine is still running and waiting for me.

Wow... Quartz (I think?) in Snow Leopard just suicide-bombed my entire session. Way to go Apple!

@a Unless you're speaking of your "karma" as it is appraised by the bagel shop folks. In that case, being very polite is neutral at best.

@a I would think that not telling them would have more of a negative affect on your karma than politely pointing out the mistake.

@JMalecki I think you could have just as easily said: "Pet peeve: people who have no idea how to write a resumé."

@lornajane I second @derickr. In a perfect world, I'd happily abandon MP3 for OGG, but devices just don't have the support for it.

@BurghPotPie They ranked the cities in from best to worst by hockey-playing ability. :-)

@BurghPotPie Detroit is pretty much going through now, what Pittsburgh went through when the steel industry collapsed.

@andreadisaster Nerds.

@allthingsnoisy That was not a sarcastic response by the way. PM me if you want to talk a bit more on the subject.

@allthingsnoisy The answer to SEO is to focus on your content and not TRY to game the system.

@e3BethT Yay for alliteration.

@thatnight High five!

@thatnight When you call me a jerk, I gain a follower. Cool! :-)

@thatnight Some people have chronic migraines that plague them frequently.

@dshafik It's Apple. I sincerely doubt that it CAN be disabled.

@JustinKownacki http://bit.ly/175ntB You're not the only one talking about fail.

@andreadisaster @JMalecki You guys get to see all of the excited and inspired new students What's so bad about that?

@mtabini (I should have added that, not only is it on 6, but I do not feel sexually impotent)

@mtabini My amp is on 6 right now, thank you very much.

@andreadisaster Without cable, there is probably no one to ask. :-/ Also, I had lunch at Five Guys today, and it was yummy.

@andreadisaster I guess we'll just have to have lost parties when the new season starts. How do you not have ABC?

@ElizabethN I'm raising my hand right now.

@allthingsnoisy The more, the merrier, that's what I always say!

@andreadisaster Lost is the best! I've got Seasons 1 through 4 on Blu-Ray. Live together, die alone!

@andreadisaster I call bullshit! It's a Saturday!

Getting ready for @agentile to show up and sleep on my couch and eat all my food and make me spend all my money. #yay

@lukewelling You mean you'll use a chainsaw, and then spend the other 5.5 hours killing zombies?

@JustinKownacki Rufus clearly has the heart of a lion and is always ready for a fight.

To clarify: I don't actually hate the environment, nor do I hate bicyclists who follow all traffic laws (not just the convenient ones).

Honestly, bicyclists make me hate the environment. Almost smashed by some skankzilla riding on the sidewalk. I hope no one loves her.

@dshafik, @elazar Love that movie. My favorite of Kevin Smith's movies in fact. Actually... maybe Dogma wins.

@wezfurlong still "mull"eting it over, if you will.

@wezfurlong Just saw a tweet by you today, and it reminded me to ask: did you ever cut your hair? If so, why has it not been twitpic'd?

Congratulations again @a!

RT @funkatron: "why couldn't @dhh disappear instead?" - A sentiment I agree with.

@andreadisaster That's no excuse, they could arrange for the faxes to be saved as PDFs and emailed to you. Fight back!

@andreadisaster Also, you're really raging against the remake today.

@andreadisaster Working in PJs is one of life's finest pleasures. You can write obits from home!

@andreadisaster You ought to work from home, it's great. I'm wearing gym shorts and a t-shirt right now.

@ElizabethN New thing to do for fun: spam people with truly incredible offers for something cool, and see how many takers you get.

@mshowalter I will un-follow him if you want. Just say the word.

@JustinKownacki Well, acquaintance just sounds a bit too forced and tedious. "You have 3 acquaintance requests pending."

@a Oh damn. I knew it was coming soon, but I didn't realize it was THAT soon! Congratulations!

There is an air quality warning in PGH because of too much ozone. #proofthatglobalwarmingisaliberalhoax

"Air quality warning"? WTF PGH, is this a normal occurence? We've got green buildings coming out the ears here, how can this be?

@mshowalter I think I found the comedy regarding your bug bite. It caused you to make photographs of yourself wearing THAT shirt public.

@arzoum, @elizabethn, @mtabini Just used the bag from PHP|Tek while grocery shopping. Very handy, so thanks again.

@arzoum Until they eat YOU! That is what all spiders want to do.

Great walk today. The sun over PGH was beautiful. Think I'll listen to some Chopin and enjoy a cold glass of water to relax.

@ICanHasStalker I suppose the more successful doctor will be the one that does all the foot work to promote his practice.

@ICanHasStalker If only they could learn to walk a mile in each other's shoes.

Thinking that today might be the kind of day that makes a guy want to go for a walk in the park before a fun filled night of Psych and Monk.

I think I hate Seth Green. No surprise there; but I think I hate him because of him being a dick on Entourage. That's totally irrational.

@michaelianblack The way you describe your family dynamic on twitter reminds me a lot of the song Bounce by Sage Francis. Check it out.

@davidwain Tell it like it is! Both of them are much funnier than Reno, and their next project will make us wonder why it didn't end sooner.

@thatnight Not to be creepy but... Please, don't stop taking pictures. :-)

@thomaslennon About time! It was a fine show, but I've known since the State's recent DVD release that you guys can do better. Good luck!

Preheating my cast iron stovetop grill and oven in preparation for the most glorious piece of beef I have ever cooked for myself. Envy me.

@nezencreation Is Wednesday night going to be a permanent thing? I can never make it on Wednesday... class. :-(

@jontangerine When is the Tangerine Typeface going to be released? :-)

@thatnight You're not swimming in the rivers, are you? Yikes.

@JustinKownacki If that passes, expect to see legislation barring you from ever leaving your house.

@JustinKownacki If only a decentralized micro-blogging standard existed. An Open Micro-Blogging if you will. Maybe called laconi.ca.

Grabbing carryout from Union Grill for dinner. Then back home to watch #MMHI.

@shiflett HazMat suit included? I suppose eating Cheetos is not allowed? Didn't Jamiroquai film a video there? Where is Justin Long?

@imogenheap Are you aware that you have captured the minds of many of the world's leading PHP developers? You could hold the web hostage!

@thatnight Don't think I know any English majors that still do English after graduation. All of them still speak English though.

@thatnight What did you go to college for? And why not?

@jontangerine I really wish that tweet had had a typo.

Loved Funny People. Definitely Judd Apatow's best movie. Warning, this is not a comedy. It's a drama about comedians.

@gregchiasson :frogout:

I've been adding an extra V to Jeremy Piven's name all night. My apologies to anyone whose name might be Jeremy Pivven (with two Vs).

Was looking forward to The Goods with Jeremy Pivven. Given that he is doing a WWF cameo to promote it, I think I'll wait for the DVD.

Jeremy Pivven! What are you doing to my respect for you? Hosting a professional wrestling event? That is NOT the Gold Standard.

Stupid GnomeDo! Don't post my mistyped command names to twitter!

@michaelianblack Michael Schwartz could have been my main man. Michael Ian Black? No way.

I always have the urge to tweet something when I'm at Oishii Bento getting sushi. That's what I'm doing now.

@thatnight Whoops. Didn't notice your previous tweet. That makes it slightly less funny, but still funny.

@thatnight What were they hoping to find, I wonder.

@wezfurlong Go easy on Cheadle! Mimicking an accent to convince a native speaker is always tough business. C-Nasty is doing the best he can.

@jen3700: You can't blaim facebook. This is happening due to a bug which twitter fixed.

@mshowalter @michaelianblack First ep was good, but you showed too much beforehand. Second ep was, well, the third ep is great so far. #MMHI

@mshowalter: He WAS on Ed, after all. #MMHI

@mshowalter: Don't worry about these haters, Show. Not everyone appreciates the weight of living in Michael Ian Black's shadow.

Celebrating… something… with @michaelianblack and @mshowalter. Hope tonight's episode doesn't suck! #MMHI

Had a blast tonight seeing Atmosphere and Eyedea & Abilities live. Got autographs from E&A and a picture with Slug. Great show!

Bidding farewell to my guests (Mom and Grandma) today, then getting ready for Atmosphere, Eyedea & Abilities.

Is it weird to eat a salad at 3:00 AM? Because I soooo just did! Zapow!

@JustinKownacki I thought the 140 character limit did that? :-)

@JustinKownacki Sure THOSE signs are BS, but stop signs, yield signs, DO NOT ENTER SIGNS… I can't get enough of 'em.

@JustinKownacki Might I suggest @JKownacki. @replying to you is a major pain. :-)

@JustinKownacki Though to clarify, it is a very nice luxury in times of surplus; I'm also not saying that PA is *right* to cut art funding.

@JustinKownacki Have to disagree with you here: road signs are a serious issue. Art isn't the government's responsibility.

@mshowalter Grow a pair and get your asses on Conan. At least then you'd be dealing with a comedic peer.

@wezfurlong I pray that it was!

A wee bit of programming, then a wee bit of sleeping, and then a whole bunch of rocking out for the coming week.

HBO's new Original Series crossover promos take USA Network's idea and elevate it to near perfection.

@wezfurlong I don't know what style, but I had better see a twitpic of it once you have decided. :-)

@shiflett I guess @coates had better watch out. She's moving in on his territory as the leading bear aficionado in your life.

@likapika Did you watch Michael and Michael? When are you coming back to IRC? We miss you!

@ramsey I do a lot of that too... My peak was 10 in a single day.

Salmon for dinner from the always delicious Union Grill. Also bought tickets tonight for Atmosphere and Eyedea & Abilities show in two weeks

@NicoleGenaw Yeah, but probably nothing easier to steal.

The premier of Michael and Michael Have Issues was very funny. Looking forward to great things from this series.

@JustinKownacki I'm sure you can get a Tweet This" button by a Firefox extension, but I don't see it becoming a default browser feature.

"Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but it seems when the giant holding up the earth dies, we are screeeeeewed." - The State, on DVD NOW!

@allthingsnoisy Have a conference call with a client at 6, which could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Working late today. :-/

@allthingsnoisy Ooh, Yum. I'm jealous.

@80miles They spent your last check making Porcupine Racetrack.

@andreadisaster You may also want to check out the G1 on T-Mobile. It is the first phone based on Google's Android smartphone OS.

Call me old fashioned, but I think that fire is magic, and it scares me a lot. The State on DVD TOMORROW! #MMHI on Wednesday!

@jontangerine See @a's last tweet.

@JMalecki Ah, understandable. I hadn't gotten any followers with inappropriate pictures yet.

Just enjoyed a great walk/jog through Schenley Park. What a beautiful area right in the middle of the city. Hope to see more repairs soon.

@JMalecki What do you gain from blocking them? Who cares if they follow you, as long as they don't start messaging you.

@JustinKownacki You'll be too busy jamming out with your new, remastered The Beatles albums and The Beatles Rock Band on that day anyway.

@ElizabethN Maybe creepy, but old? Yeah right! Besides, Fall Out Boy may actually play some of their old (good) songs. Do kids know Blink?

@nateabele Congratulations on the release.

@michaelianblack Maybe after they crank out a few more scripts for #MMHI they can play. In this economy, the kids have to contribute.

This is shaping up to be an exceptionally boring weekend. Pittsburghers: any thoughts? #PGH

@tzutzanu Be sure to have saved up by the time I come out to the office for a visit. Good sushi is one of my favorite things in life.

Michael and Michael Have Issues is going to be an incredible half hour of comedy, every week! #MMHI

@JMalecki Method Man, Nas or BTNH are the only real options there, though I'd be hard pressed to call any of them "the best." :-)

@JMalecki Thanks for the follow! I’ll do my best to be entertaining, informative and at the very least, friendly.

@shadow The "Pittsburgh left", traffic lights being misused as 4-way stops on busy roads, rude driving. That's what I refer to.

@shadow Detroit's roads are anything but empty, and I'm not saying that Pittsburgh's roads are too busy or congested. That doesn't bother me

@shadow To be quite honest, I'm not sure why you responded at all. It seems you just wanted an opportunity to belittle Detroit.

@shadow You are taking my statement out of context. I never said, nor implied, that Pittsburgh should emulate Detroit in every way.

@shiflett I feel like every framework should be a micro framework at it's most basic level, even if it provides additional optional features

@ramsey I've been following your updates for a while... When do we get to see the interesting side of you? :-)

@shadow Not exactly sure what you're trying to say. Pittsburgh is great, but Detroit has better roads, better traffic, and better drivers.

Pittsburgh, I love you. But when it comes to driving etiquette and traffic/road planning, you could take many hints from the Motor City.

@andreadisaster They changed the pricing model. Now some songs are $1.29 and some songs are like $0.89 or something.

@ramsey It looks like it is time to apply for your DNKYPNCH license plate. http://bit.ly/wydqy

@YEAHRIGHTPOS It seems that you tweeted about the PGH show AFTER the PGH show. Come back soon and give me some notice! Sorry I missed it!

@JustinKownacki My coworkers travel between the two cities often, and they always seem to take the train.

@JustinKownacki LOL. You need to get back to Pittsburgh where the only distractions are the baristas hit-or-miss musical selections.

@JustinKownacki You've stumbled upon another one of my gripes. Online banking and bill pay is no better than dragging around sacks of cash.

@thatnight I saw one the night of the tailgate tweetup. I was stunned and baffled as well.

Was having a shitty day. Seeing Giggles the Clown stuck in traffic in her Giggle-mobile really put things in perspective.

⭐ 1

@JustinKownacki Don't forget that you can use National City ATMs as if they were PNC ATMs now.

@robtreat2 Blasphemy! You are clearly fooling yourself.

@andreadisaster That's why I'm a commodity here. No one knows me. Tell your friends.

@jdhtwo WTF. I'm actually pretty impressed with the music. Great work!

@JustinKownacki Local news is the last thing that you need TV for. Just go with no TV at all if that's the case. Get an Apple TV or Boxee.

@iheartpgh That's right by my apartment. Maybe I should investigate.

@andreadisaster Either my school was more progressive than I thought, or "controversial" just isn't what it used to be. :-)

@andreadisaster http://tr.im/r3P9 See my comment. At one point maybe they were controversial, but they don't seem to be that daring today.

@andreadisaster Doesn't seem very *challenged*. I read 5 of those in school, and a 6th was read in a class that I didn't take.

@tzutzanu So, I *was* about to have dinner. Probably not anymore.

@thatnight I just pictured a generic grandfather-looking guy dancing with T-Pain and Lonely Island.

@itrebal All exs are frustrating. Why should regex be any different?

@jen3700 In this city? You're lucky if it's open on a regular Saturday. Or later than like 7pm. Or on a Monday.

@JustinKownacki You're clearly not meant to leave.

@nateabele No.

@k3ri I'd say probably playing basketball.

Where should I look for donuts in Oakland or surrounding neighborhoods. Google isn't being so helpful.

I want to see a movie tonight. Any yinzers that want to meet at South Side Works theater or AMC Loews Waterfront should let me know.

@JustinKownacki That reminds me… good luck with the move and the new city. I'm glad I got a chance to meet you before you leave.

@tweetie Why can't I block a user from within Tweetie/Mac (haven't checked iPhone yet). Is that not a part of Twitter's API?

@pmjones Watching 2001: A Space Odyssey now on Blu-Ray and it looks incredible. Best blu-ray I've seen, in fact.

@jen3700 Nobody has unencrypted networks anymore. Not even the stupid college kids.

@coates I'd rather actually get a nickel back.

@jdhtwo Blasphemy! Heretic! Kneel at the altar of Cilantro and beg for forgiveness, or forfeit your soul to the darkness.

Dear people who make salsa: If you want to impress me, go crazy with the cilantro. Thanks, bye!

RT @michaelianblack: "Happy Canada Day," which in America is pronounced "Who gives a shit?"

@k3ri Yum! Don't forget the fries!

Cucumbers are a nice, healthy snack to enjoy when your crappy wheat tortilla wrap doesn't quite fill you up.

@dshafik That's crazy! My name isn't Truman!

@tzutzanu Apparently it's your birthday. Happy birthday!

@andreadisaster Paste Magazine would rock if it was all about adhesives.

@JustinKownacki Why block people? Do you get a lot of mentions from spammers? A few obvious spammers follow me, but they never bother me.

@iheartpgh I was actually referring to Harris's Grill. Horse-radish mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese... MMMM.

Today has been such a colossal waste. Hoping for better productivity this week and next weekend.

@iheartpgh Damn, I actually considered getting a late dinner there with a friend right around that time. Went the lazy route: Domino's Pizza

@coates sounds like an interesting for you to blog about... Soon... 3 2 1 go!

@allthingsnoisy this comment alone has single-handedly justified me following you.

Pirates game was mega-fast, and they actually won! Now enjoying a Fireworks show, just because.

Found the PodCamp/Tweetup folks. Meeting lots and lots of PGH twitterers.

@h, @scottmac WTF is wrong with you guys? Who does that?

@JustinKownacki Maybe the tide is turning. Given our conversation yesterday, that is great news.

Hoping to get up early tomorrow and do some laundry and some programming. Guitar lessons and tailgating are also in the forecast.

Stunned to find out today (yesterday?) that Twitter does not respect the … (ellipsis). Get your act together twitter. I am not kidding.

Met up with @JustinKownacki, some PodCampers and other Pittsburghers at Oh Yeah! for a delicious treat and great conversation.

@jen3700 Thanks! I'll do my best to stop by.

@funkatron What brought that up? I'm re-watching the series now, and I'm very apprehensive about getting to season 4. :-(

@dshafik According to IMDB he doesn't seem to have been filming anything in New Zealand.

I deleted my tweet about Michael Jackson. The joke wasn't awful, and no one complained, but I feel bad about making light of a death.

Weird. I like Chicken Salad on bread, but I don't like it in a salad. Naming fale.

@auroraeosrose That kid really puts the pee in pwned. (And to make that joke, I had to break my cardinal rule of words I should never use.)

@suezinlyn LOL. Enjoy your trip! Hope you have a great time, but I had better see you at Code Works in NYC. :-) It's good to hear from you.

@likapika Calorie Explosion!

Beginning the last day of my time off in Michigan. It was great to spend a lot of time with my family for once.

@JustinKownacki I favorite anything that I want to refer to later, whether or not it's my own tweet.

OH: "Things are going to get much, much worse if cell phones don't go; it will be the beginning of world war 3. And text messages too."

Power is out in the apartment. Working/lunching at Panera.

Fun things to do when the power is out: walk up behind a stranger quietly and touch their shoulder, or whisper in their ear.

@JustinKownacki Yeah, I just drove through that way. It's a mess. I can't believe this rain.

AT&T is letting those customers eligible for an upgrade in Jun, Jul, or Aug upgrade now. Damn you, AT&T for confusing me.

@ramsey Don't you have an Apple store nearby?

@JustinKownacki I feel like the implication of that statement is the same whether you are the bar, or you just set it.

@JustinKownacki I was using Tweetie on my iPhone almost exclusively. Now I'm using Tweetie for Mac 60%, Tweetie for iPhone 40%. Why un-good?

@JustinKownacki I bet it will change itself into a tea next week if it thinks it has a better shot at people drinking it.

@michaelianblack You should slap the extra twice, to show that bastard @robhuebel who's boss.

@k3ri LOL... Poor guy. You all weren't too mean to him, were you?

@k3ri Totally permissible.

http://bit.ly/13Y4Bl

"Do not stuff buffalo wings in your face or in your pockets, and do not hit on anybody." "Okay." "Seriously!" "Okaaaaaaay!"

@johannacherry I'm not saying bluetooth mice don't exist, but, with the exception of the Mighty Mouse, there are few quality bluetooth mice.

Why is my wireless mouse tied to a specific USB dongle, instead of an open solution like bluetooth? WhyTF is my TV remote still IR in 2009?

Today is already shaping up to be quite a bore. Anyone have any ideas for a fun Sunday in PGH?

Has anyone else noticed that they end up using far fewer characters when tweeting from a phone than a computer?

Classy is right: http://tr.im/olYn Note: judging the *people* of Detroit for the bailout is a dick move. Two wrongs don't make a right.

@ElizabethN I'm sure someone can pull some strings for you. The lesser ElizabethN can just shut up and deal with it.

@JustinKownacki I watched the video, and you're right. I apologize for Detroit. Though you can't blame the players, nor all of the people.

@funkatron Angry Ed is kind of funny when his icon has a teacup in hand. With that said, I agree on all counts.

@JustinKownacki Hey, hey, hey! I'm from Detroit, and I have to say that I've seen nothing but animosity toward the Red Wings here.

@mtabini ah.

@mtabini Why is that?

@JustinKownacki Can Rich move the Island in the finally episode?

@JustinKownacki Have you made any decisions about the future of the show? If this is the last episode we had better see Rob Sharp.

@mshowalter When she told you, "I'm the head writer for Jimmy Fallon now," that should have been a clue. She was not funny in high school.

@smashingmag Un-implementable at present. You're better than this, c'mon.

@JustinKownacki Ann needs her own Twitter account. Or Sports show. But only if she doesn't hold back.

@shiflett Not that brilliant... I have no idea what #squarespace is.

@tychay Get with the program and find your GPS, bro! Also, I don't think the Penguins are doing it this year. :-/

@dshafik I got the impression that it was just for Leopard users.

@funkatron The dreaded CPoIP!

@ktavelli WTF? If you drove, you probably came right through PGH! But yeah... it wasn't as good as the previous installment.

Night at the Museum 2 WAS terrible, I am sorry to say.

About to see Night at the Museum 2. Hoping it is at least decent. Bought sandals, sneakers and a Vonnegut book today. Boo yaa.

Today's plan: Find some lunch, head down to South Side Works for a movie, buy new sneakers. Who's with me? #fb

@ramsey I hope it's just one guy that gets two parking spots. That would totally make it almost worth it.

@YEAHRIGHTPOS He wouldn't miss a POS show for the world!

@CalEvans I have to say, I agree completely. This Twitter craze that Tim O'Reilly is going through should be beneath him. He's a fanboi now.

@suezinlyn Alaska? What the heck is in Alaska?

I'd also like to say that I have mostly enjoyed Conan on the Tonight Show these past two days.

I've been slacking on my tweeting lately. Started watching Firefly last night. Loving it so far.

@jontangerine Sheesh. Way to make me kind of miss NYC.

@johannacherry ugh, that's tough. I would probably miss home, but every friday would be nice. 2 weeks in america and every other friday?

@JustinKownacki Damn. That's harsh. I guess you'll just have to stay put.

#PGH I am hungry! Where should I get lunch at today?

@JustinKownacki Safety in Baltimore! Ha! I found Google Maps Street View very handy for getting a feel for a neighborhood when I moved here.

@SaraMG Cleveland?! I suppose you should be grateful it's not Wisconsin, but still... Cleveland? C'mon, really?

@preinheimer Don't you trust us?!

@shiflett Not bad. I'd be interested in hearing more from them.

@funkatron @lukewelling has DEFINITELY gone toe to toe with a jelly fish.

@a more fart jokes. It'll be a hit.

Getting my Oishii Bento on for dinner. Sushi is exactly what I needed. Video games or TV this evening. Early bed time, I think.

@funkatron 404 dude.

@JustinKownacki Wow. Huge news. Good luck. If you end STBD, you had better end it well! Congratulations to Ann on the job.

@wezfurlong The fact that the caption is an adapted quote from Role Models makes me very happy.

@lxt I saw an interview with Dalton Caldwell (CEO of Imeem) on Fox Business, and the interviewer just doesn't get it. http://tr.im/mGm9

@CalEvans Okay, seriously... no one else uses that hash-tag. That is 100% made up.

@80miles That's such bullshit! Amazon AND Vespa owe you... BIG TIME.

@scottmac I thought about making you run home behind the train after Map Room, but it seemed cruel.

@a Why are they boxing?

@EliW I've got a good talk planned... Just take my word for it and pick me.

@suezinlyn Whatever, just come to DC for Code Works in October.

@refreshpitt http://cw.mtacon.com. Great PHP conference coming to DC. I would love to get a group of PGH PHPers together to make the trip.

@suezinlyn You LOVE ellipses don't you?

@johannacherry They're not pieces of meat you know! Maybe they just want to be appreciated for their intellect.

@RefreshPitt That one didn't work either.

@auroraeosrose Are you working in reverse?

@SaraMG Well, a result in favor of human rights, to clarify.

@SaraMG I'll have my fingers crossed for a favorable result.

RT @coates: Stop it with the . before @-reply thing, please. I don't care about conversations with people I don't follow.

@JustinKownacki I chose not to use the reply feature, so using the .@ trick is really worsening my twitter experience since I can't opt-out.

@itrebal Now that I've read my IRC backlog, I realize that that isn't as dramatic a number as I thought, and take back my obscenities. :-)

@itrebal Fuck off. ;-)

I must note that the lack of understanding of the web is what made those girls "definitely NOT #phpwomen". #phpwomen are not lacking beauty.

Listening to two attractive girls with very broken ideas of how the web works. These are definitely NOT #phpwomen.

@SaraMG Maybe they did very good forecasting?

Union Grill closed. Proceding to the Forbes Ave eateries.

Union Grill for dinner tonight. I should make some friends in PGH so that I can ask them to join me. #fb

Shopping #fale. Went all the way to Robinson and now returning with a gain of exactly one bottle of Pepsi Throwback. #fb

@CalEvans you have hash tags for things that I never would have guessed there are hash tags for.

Looking for storage to organize CDs DVDs and Blu Ray discs in their cases. Where should I shop? #fb

I've installed Selective Twitter on Facebook. This update is ONLY for Twitter.

I've installed Selective Twitter on Facebook. This update is for Twitter + Facebook. #fb

@likapika Yeah, I've been very satisfied with the Tweetie iPhone app, but not the desktop app. @shiflett, what do you use on the desktop?

@coates Agreed. Some of the season finales this year were a bit too much of a cliffhanger. See also: Southland.

@thereedoburrito you're a bit late to the party regarding Flickr.

It's absolutely killing me to do it, but abandoning Archlinux for Ubuntu after nearly 3 years of loyalty.

@a WTH was the name of your talk... wasn't there more to it than "Opening Keynote"?

@shiflett You could also probably delete twitterfon on your iPhone, and then add it when you sync again. You'll get the last-synced version.

@shiflett Tweetie... It implements just about all of the Twitter API, it's fast, and you can tweet horizontally.

@tychay It's Chicago... only 3 people that live there actually have iPhones. Only 20 people in the city with broadband. It's the midwest...

Home now. Maybe I'll blog about #phptek #tek09 later, maybe not. Definitely had an incredible time. Glad to be home.

Typos in my tweets seem to be the problem of the day today.

Got through security as ORD and to my gate by 12:20. Switched to an exit row, got lunch, and about to do some work via wifi at the gate.

Kindnof excited to get back home, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing PHPers again soon.

Breakfast with @tetraboy and @lig at the hotel. Getting ready to leave for PIT.

@mtabini See my previous tweet please.

@ElizabethN @marcotabini I seem to have misplaced a Fossil watch at some point this week, probably during @Shiflett's talk. Find anything?

Getting ready to depart from Chicago. As @gregchiasson would say: #tek09 owned, #phptek owns, meeting people owns, Chicago owns. Owns!

On my way to Goose Island Brewpub with @a, @h, @coates, @likapika, @tychay and @flackette. Starving, and hoping for some delicious food.

@suezinlyn Thanks for the add! It was great to meet you, and a shame I didn't get a chance to say goodbye! Hope to see you again sometime.

@lig We started to chat after the pecha kucha the other day, but your fan club quickly surrounded you. You're a popular lady. ;-)

Ooh, quick, steal @ramsey's session! #phptek #tek09 #garlicgonewild

OH @ramsey "This is NOT a sexual dysfunction." #garlicgonewild #tek09 #phptek

Garlic Gone Wild is talking about HTTP and giving out ElePHPants. He also just called me a zombie. #phptek #tek09

@Shiflett, @coates and @a have managed to inebriate me, and introduce me to a few beers that I actually like. #phptek #tek09

Favorite beer so far: Ayinger Althairisch Dunkel.

At Map Room in Chicago, enjoying a beer with PHPers for @Shiflett's birthday.

RT @shiflett: We’re going to the Map Room (http://maproom.com/) tonight for my birthday. Everyone at #phptek is invited. (Please share.)

Watching @lig handle an out of control mic with some crazy feedback like a champ.

OH @pmjones <evil grin> "So.... Bonus Slides!" LOL

OH @lornajane "Find by time, by date... I don't know, phase of the moon..."

Dear fate, if you could make @pmjones show up to the Linux talk, that would be great because I have a question for him. Thanks.

Missed the first two sessions of the day, sadly, but I got some good work done this morning on my secret OmniTI project. #tek09 #phptek

Had a great time out last night with @tbga, @shiflett, @elizabethn, @coates, @a, @h, @scottmac, @likapika and many more. #phptek #tek09

Having a difficult time leaving breakfast.

@likapika It was nice to meet you last night! Thanks for the follow.

Enjoying a night out with the PHP community at Footloose Fergy's. #phptek #tek09

@coates fuck the ram.

@funkatron Hope you feel better.

Breaking from the fun to get a little bit of work done. #tek09 #phptek

I guess I should also tweet that I'm at dinner with @a, @Shiflett, @ramsey and @coates.

So the #tek09 wifi seems to work during talks, but not during the breaks. Wtf? #phptek

@lig Has forgotten more about MySQL than most would ever dream of knowing. Way to be a MySQL genius, @lig.

@lig is doing great so far! Very impressed, given it's her first talk.

Damn. Kind of freezing in the Rosemont room ATM. #phptek #tek09

@tbga I'm in the group of tables on the left, sitting in the seat next to the center aisle, 4 rows back from the front.

Ahh, make that last tweet "starring @derickr."

Dufrain, search party of five, starring Derick Rethans. #phptek #tek09

Grabbing a bite to eat at the hotel restaurant if anyone wants to join. Feeling semi-awkward given my seating. #phptek #tek09

@shiflett see you guys soon then.

Alright, settled into the hotel room. Is anyone still at the hotel or on their way to join others that are already out? #tek09 #phptek

On the shuttle! Yay!!! #tek09 #phptek

Waiting for the shuttle at ORD. Not really sure what I'm looking for. #tek09 #phptek

@ramsey you're close enough to MI,I doubt you'd be the only one.

@itrebal Darn should have waited for me, I'm only a few minutes behind you.

*Barely made my flight, but en route to Chicago! #tek09

Still several hours to go before I unleash the full extent of my awesomeness on #tek09. How do I get to the hotel again?

@tbga I like that @dshafik was helpful, while @saramg and I went the "hurtful" route. :-)

@tbga Get a woman to order it for you?

@ElizabethN Did you check behind your EAR?! (/me retrieves stickers from behind @ElizabethN's ear, magic-style)

I am so not ready for #tek09. In fact, I'm not even ready to start a Sunday right now. Someone come pack for me! #phptek

@johannacherry They are a bit late. But then again, a party is a party.

@thereedoburrito How was the movie? Should I make a trip to the theater tomorrow?

@a I really just threw up in my mouth a little bit that time.

@gregchiasson That was the dorkiest way to say "the wedding went well," ever. But congratulations anyway pal.

Also, your fresh salsa (mild) is delicious too.

Dear Trader Joes, The fact that you have several fruit and nut mixes that have no raisins in them makes me sort of want to kiss your lips.

Apartment hunting in Squirrel Hill today. Love the neighborhood, NOT loving the apartments I'm seeing. Another year in Oakland?

@lxt Or that your third guess would always be correct, without fail (unless it's a special two-hour episode)?

@lxt By that, you mean you wish it was Lupus, an auto-immune disease, or cancer every time?

@thereedoburrito I'm with you re: @AmandaBynes. Gorgeous.

@ElizabethN It took me five minutes to parse that sentence enough to figure out which one is actually the channel, and which were hash tags.

"I'm a bad ass adult. I have bad knees... and a gun. That I lost."

The Lost finale was good... next season starts in... 2010? WTF. :-(

The best part of the Jimmy Fallon show is still The Roots. @jimmyfallon You are so luck to have them.

@Penguins You should tell everyone on Twitter that you just scored twice in a matter of seconds.

Watching #penguins vs #capitals. Someone want to explain to me what is so appealing about this game.

Getting ready for dinner and hockey at Primanti Bro's (in North Versailles :-/) tonight. Should be fun to hang out with Erin and Emily!

In a perfect world, I would only use "the feature" for a few of my more selective followees. #fixreplies

@atebits_support I guess that's likely. What impeccable timing. Perhaps improving that error message would be a good thing. :-)

@atebits Tweetie for Mac said "forbidden" when I tried to post my previous tweet, yet twitter accepted it happily. What's the deal?

When I saw "c7y" for the first time, I instantly understood that it was shorthand for community. Why did I never get that with i18n?

@maggie1000 So glad to be reading your last tweet during lunch.

@tallcathy Going through that list, I notice Zachary Quinto (from Heroes and Star Trek) is from Pittsburgh.

@tallcathy Mr. Rogers! Also, see http://bit.ly/9f5o6

@shiflett But I bet you feel WAY safe now, huh?

Hate to say it, Trekkies, but the original Star Trek sort of sucks in comparison to Abrams new one. Perhaps the original series was better.

@gregchiasson He bought the movie rights for $19.

Wow, they're talking about thinnies on Fringe. JJ Abrams is such a Dark Tower fan.

@sefah21 Thanks for the recommendation. I'll probably make an appointment to see it.

@sefah21 June move-in isn't ideal, but I'd love to hear more.

@iheartpgh I'm looking for apartment recommendations in #PGH (Oakland, Shadyside or Squirrel Hill)? 1+ bedroom, ~800-1000 / mo. Any ideas?

@SaraMG Sheesh, I hope your day gets better, and your eye gets... coagulated? Whatever an eye does to stop bleeding, I hope yours does that.

@stbd I just watched you on my HDTV for the first time by streaming my iTunes library to my Xbox 360. Your resolution really leaves STBD.

Uggh @tbga just reminded me that #tek09 is in one week. Excited for the conference, just not in the mood for traveling.

Does anyone make quality USB hubs?

Enjoyed a delicious vegan brunch at Zenith Cafe on the south side. They also serve scrambled eggs for cheaters. (I was a cheater)

@iheartpgh Where is this glorious heaven you speak of? Waffles.... any time?

Star Trek was pretty cool. I wasn't around when the originals came out, but I'd bet that this series is more accessible to non-trekkies.

Alright, fine. Going to see Star Trek, since everyone in the world seems to be loving it.

@JustinKownacki I've re-instituted speakeasies, just because that seems like a depression-y thing to do.

@davidwain South Side Works Cinema in Pittsburgh is showing Wet Hot American Summer as part of their cult movie series. You should come. 6/6

First guitar lesson today! YAY!

Feeling great this evening.

Comcast guy just knocked a Bose speaker from a $200 set off of a five foot shelf. Seriously?

Glad I didn't make that second sandwich for lunch. Suddenly not so hungry.

@k3ri I hate you because Pittsburgh doesn't have a Noodles & Company. :-(

Wow. No more JD... Maybe the last episode of Scrubs. Sad. :-(

@elazar "Electronic transfers" typically still involve the bank cutting a check and mailing it in many cases.

@JustinKownacki I hate driving on country roads... who would want to do that?

@k3ri Do the collective IEs still get even *half* of the market share these days? Sheesh.

@k3ri Well that about settles it.

@ramsey The question is, do you respond to it? I hope so.

@tbga That caused my troubled brain to think, in a Ludacris voice: "What in the world is in them grits, what'd they put in them grits?"

It seems that the latest update of Tweetie with Growl support has yet to growl once.

@e3BethT That baby is definitely dizzy in there. Here's my impression of it: "What the heck just happened? And how did I learn how to talk?"

http://tinyurl.com/cy96a5

Off to bed. It's been a ridiculously useless day. Looking forward to having a task to accomplish tomorrow.

@nateabele Didn't ask. Will next time I'm in there. I'm sure it's your drink though.

@nateabele So I am at the Union Grill right now, and there is a "CoCo Loco Tini" on the drink menu for $5.75.

@nateabele That really sucks. Don't let it ruin your opinion of Pittsburgh though.

Watched The Spirit last night. Feeling MUCH better about the Wolverine movie now.

Lionsgate may just be the WORST movie studio ever. Redemption for Miramax.

@pmjones That's the issue. The real Deadpool is as ugly as the monster and can heal (via Logan), but like Wade in every other way.

@pmjones Clearly you were not previously a Deadpool fan. :-/ Hoping for redemption in the hypothetical sequel.

@Marvel Thank you so much for ruining Deadpool yet again. I was so excited to see Ryan Reynolds in the roll, and you guys ruined it. Aces!

Pumped about all of the exciting work that @omniti has in store. No idea what it is, but if @shiflett and @postwait are excited, so am I.

@nateabele Are you home yet? What time did your flight end up leaving?

@nateabele Oh man! That sucks. When are you taking off?

@nateabele Glad to see you landed safely! Have a good weekend.

@RefreshPitt Just *please* don't schedule it for the 19-22. I'll be in Chicago for a PHP conference.

@mshowalter Any chance we'll see any other State cast appearances on the show? Maybe even Mr. David "Studio Flick" Wain?

Note to self: Make sure DVR is empty before going to dinner tonight.

@auroraeosrose If I was a pig, I would have a serious problem with your sense of amusement.

"...perhaps, that many Rubyists consider themselves “artists” and the Ruby community as a “movement”..." and I consider those Rubyists lame.

Twitterific vs. Tweetie the age-old debate that has plagued man since the dawn of civilization.

@gregchiasson Little has made me smile today, but that response just about made my day.

Switching from a 9 to 5 schedule to a 10 to 6 schedule really messes with the flow of the entire day.

So I am going to learn to be awesome at Javascript. @nateabele defeated my argument that Javascript is just a waste of time yesterday.

Able to switch seats to the front of the plane, an empty row. Amazing luck!!!

My worst fear: a child with possible chicken pox sitting directly in front of me on my flight from DET to PIT.

Good morning! 12 hours from now, I'll be landing at #PIT. Enjoying my last hours in Bloomington. Then, hosting @nateabele for the week. Yay!

Had a pretty cool evening with some friends at IU. Saw Flight of the Conchords, met some cool people, sweated my ass off. Fun...

@ElizabethN Re: swineflu. Because the weather is gorgeous, and we want to enjoy it. Winter is fir being sick.

Finally at Lily's apartment in Bloomington, IN. Looking forward to a weekend of fun, comedy, funk, and annoying couple crap.

"Nick" is on the list of trending topics for twitter. As a guy named Nick, I think that that is cool.

Suddenly a website has popped up which encourages everyone to whine about their crappy lives on the internet, and it's ruining twitter. #fml

Presenting my final project, and kissing INFSCI 2470 goodbye. Not a bad day.

Attention Pittsburghers: the Pittsburgh-left is an objectively bad idea, you just can't see it because of your immense pride for this city.

Sore throat. Late night of writing Java. How do you think I feel?!

@ktavelli How cute! At what age did he get his first kill? How have you been? What's new? How is your life? Tell me everything!

Not a strong start to the day... already considering going back to bed.

@ktavelli Sheesh! Looking at your list of followers, I'm in VERY good company.

@stbd There is a big part of me that is so deeply creeped out after watching that, and another part that still wonders if Clare is single.

@iheartpgh Correction: @stbd. Excuse the most frustrating abbreviation ever.

@iheartpgh PGHers in need of humor in their lives should probably follow @stdb, and perhaps @JustinKownacki, the show's creator.

@nateabele Really? You're that angry and spiteful that you have to pick on Oprah for joining Twitter before she's even posted a tweet.

Having a great (productive) day at work today. Trying to keep up the momentum.

@yeahrightpos Audition and Never Better helped through the 5 hour drive from Pittsburgh to Detroit. Thanks, and great work!

@coates I couldn't believe it either. Seriously?! Kumar works for our federal government?

NBC's new Thursday night drama, Southland, is not as genre-defining as ER, but not too bad so far.

@funkatron what's not to get? American Apparell has the most comfortable t-shirts bar none.

I've decided to start weekly guitar lessons once the semester is over. Get ready to have your face rocked off.

This guy is seriously not joking about this. Holy crap.

Research proposal about attention while driving based on Grand Theft Auto presented by a classmate today. WTF.

@EricaFinley On the other hand, they make money by serving you coffee, not giving you a place to sit.

@getwithitpitt Thanks for some great shows today, guys! Great work!

About to enjoy a free The Academy Is... show at Pitt. Loving my school at this moment.

Goodbye #ER. :-(

I think, overall, it's hard to say the #ER was anything but an amazing show. Haven't watched it in years, and I'm still kind of sad. :-(

Feeling like I'm very nearly ready to give it all up and just tour the country, rocking the f out.

@thereedoburrito! How've you been? Just noticed in my facebook mini-feed that you are a twitterer now, so I had to look you up.

Rock stars do WAY too many drugs. And the ones that look like your grandparents are the WORST offenders.

Watching the Pilot of the new Cupid on ABC just makes me wonder how much better this show was with Jeremy Piven playing the lead.

Dear Antibiotics: Make me feel better please. Love, Slango

@michaelianblack I'll take black the night tonight since there's nothing good on TV anyway. #shazbot

It's starting to seem like the worst weekend ever might not extend into the week. Thank god.

Looking forward to NBC's new Thursday night drama, Southland.

Attention: if you've been sneaking into my apartment and beating the crap out of me while I sleep, please stop.

I normally don't swear in tweets (or my facebook status) but FUCK YOU, Pep Boys. FUCK YOU big time.

Feeling mega-crappy today. Exhausted, sore throat, sore body. Kill me.

I sometimes tweet at famous people, even though I'm sure they won't read my messages, let alone respond.

@michaelianblack @davidwain @mshowalter Introduced a friend to both Arrested Development and Stella, and she preferred Stella. Yaaaaaay!!!!

Extra-foggy today in Pittsburgh. Too bad I don't have an excuse to go outside and walk around.

LOVE class presentations. So boring. :-(

@davidwain is it worth it to hope for The Ten and Wet Hot American Summer to show up on Blu-Ray at some point?

@BrianRosenberg You finally got your wish: the complete and utter collapse and failure of the WSA. You were right, It WAS fun to watch. ☺

This makes me excited about one day living in NYC: http://tinyurl.com/bdmyto

♫ Love take me down, to the streets. ♫ "That's not wings. Nobody sings that song."

Another great workout today. Kind of exhausted, yet kind of exhilerated.

@thesepeople Evryone knows that Tim's quotes only transfer well to written form when they're carved into a bedpost. Answer your grey pants.

I Love You, Man was good, but did not quite live up to his last lead role (models). Just see Role Models, okay?!

Just finished disc one of season one of How I Met Your Mother. Thanks to whoever tweeted about that show a few months ago. :-)

I guess since I'm already in Oakland, I might as well get some sushi at Oishii Bento

I can see a perfectly clear sky, and a bright sunny street outside... but somehow no light seems to be entering my apartment. :-(

@JustinKownacki Handy URL. I have used Urban Spoon before, but not that URL. Lulu's noodles is the best in Oakland? I'm questioning that.

Can we cease using the "Wall street vs. Main street" catchphrase? It's getting a little bit too trite.

@jontangerine I saw a guy on the street today that looked exactly like you.

I love pompous profs that latch onto a buzzword and assume they are teaching something worthwhile just because their research gets funding.

@shiflett Sounds like you've been taking that "City that Never Sleeps" business too seriously...

Great workout this morning; feeling especially refreshed.

@johannacherry I'd be praying for a beachball then.

@JustinKownacki That's appalling. Our nation's youth are turning to shit before our eyes, and I do blame the parents, AND MTV.

So I've been starting to learn Python and I'm actually.... liking it?

@shiflett I thought working with the coolest batch of employees on the planet WAS the payoff? :-(

Too bad the iPhone developer program costs $99. I was almost thinking of buying it just to get early access to iPhone 3.0.

I miss @pmjones, @agentile and agarcia. Hope they're having a blast on their vacation.

@jontangerine Philly? You ought to swing by Pittsburgh for a visit... only what? 6 hours out of your way? No big deal!

Shower time, then work time. Yay!

Good workout this morning. Our fitness center is actually pretty awesome, and the morning walk was calming.

"I want to Rock and Roll all night. And part of every day." - Role Models. You should own this on DVD or Blu-Ray ALREADY.

Wow. Fitness center at Pitt closed for Spring Break with no announcement on the website. Profanity ensues.

@coates The www. is just the cherry on top too! Loving it.

@coates Props to them on the domain name though.

Bought a Logitech Harmony 670, and I am loving it!

Back at the apartment. Sushi made for yet another delicious lunch. Now relaxing, probably going to rock out my python skillz. Boiiiiiii.

God I hope @jimmyfallon is not the catalyst that spurred my recent increase in Twitter activity. Just a coincidence, right?

@EricaFinley you really should visit New York City. Chuck E. Cheese? Really? They're still open?!

@EricaFinley You may have to start eating good pizza now! What a shame! Tell Moss-face I said "hi."

I should do something fun on my second to last day of spring break, but I'll probably just spend it learning Python.

@weierophinney I love it when you blog about Vim. Makes me want to be a better Vim user.

@elazar Just move to PGH. I want to start one here, and there is plenty of housing that would be cheap to convert to a coworking space.

@NicoleGenaw HEY! Okay... I really just wanted to see if I could distract you.

@twitter http://tinyurl.com/c23nzo. I'm only following 53 people, not 2000. This happens with some accounts, but not others. Help!

@NicoleGenaw Hey there friendo! I didn't know you used twitter.

Yet another major interface change rolled out by @facebook which will likely be received poorly, though I consider it to be an improvement.

Went on a following rampage last night... And my ratio was so good before too!

@pmjones I liken owning a firearm to driving a motor vehicle. It should be more of a privilege than a right.

@pmjones Since when did you become an active tweeter?

@dotjay Good point! That makes this my 3rd major accomplishment of the day!

Exceptionally exhausted this morning, but I've already crossed one item off of the todo list. Go me.

Exhausted, but ready for another day of rocking out on behalf of @OmniTI.

@jontangerine "Tancienda" - Excellent.

The best thing about a 6-hour drive home for the weekend (and back) is plenty of time to rediscover old favorites on the iPod.

Watching some Movies on Blu-Ray.

The question is: is it a Starbucks Hot Cocoa or a Starbucks Hot Apple Spice day today? Or something new altogether?

Getting new tires... Goodbye, money.

I know nobody does this anymore, but cdparanoia is the most amzing CD ripper ever. It's a miracle worker.

@brian_dailey Twitted does? Hmm, I'm just as likely to type in a name myself when replying as I am to click a reply button.

Strongly considering working from somewhere other than home tomorrow. Maybe if the weather doesn't suck in the morning...

@ramsey fair enough. But maybe planet should implement some heuristics like @stanv2 suggested, since it CAN change, even if it shouldn't.

@brian_dailey I don't think that would be possible. You reply to users on twitter, even if it's understood that you are replying to a tweet.

@ramsey You're okay. Really, now that I'm considering it, Planet-PHP should know to ignore old posts. Who do I hate for that?

Don't you love it when Planet-PHP is flooded with months of someone's entries because someone upgraded something carelessly?

I tweet a lot more often when I'm enjoying great sushi from Oishii for lunch. Laaaaate start today. Lunch at 4pm. :-(

Listening to Never Better and Audition by @YEAHRIGHTPOS. Absolutely amazing hip hop albums. http://rhymesayers.com/

@tbga When is that show on, and is it any good?

@ramsey's greatest hits today on the planet.

@markscrap You mention your Java remarks as if history has proven them true. Maybe Flash beats Java for applets, but Java isn't nearly dead.

@ElizabethN Quite good overall. Yourself?

Goodnight world.

@shiflett Now all we need is a plug-in to make Mail.app run reliably. I know @coates would be on board.

Soon the number of seconds since the Unix epoch will be 1234567890. Watch the excitement on twitter: http://s.omniti.com/1234567890

@coates Do you also contest "Google it"?

A friend showed me the logic behind the guitar fretboard layou today. Feeling even more excited to keep learning!

Huge improvement on guitar in the past few days. Quite proud of myself.

@Serena1149 After looking through the list of people you are following, I have to ask... Did you only follow me because my name is Nicholas?

Ouch! The second string on my guitar (b string?) HATES my fingers. Relaxing for a bit while my fingers recoup.

I'm loving the weather today. Lazy day learning guitar, installing linux on an old machine, and watching TV. Excellent!

@dotjay Screw you, Friday! You're right. That does help. :-)

I kind of want to kill myself for misspelling "here" as "hear" in my last tweet.

Sunday and Tuesday are both supposed to reach 50F hear in lovely PGH. Too bad it is also supposed to rain, but I will enjoy the warmth!

@agentile Your obsession caused me to revisit some old Mitch Hedberg jokes that I used to like. I'm still a fan.

Woke up this morning with a terrible pain in my left shoulder which is still lingering. Ugh.

@shiflett's last tweet is just one more example of why it is great to work for a company like OmniTI.

@dotjay Thanks for the guitar advice. I hope to make it a reality this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.

Attention Twitter and Facebook friends: Can anyone recommend a good book for learning to play the piano? Thanks in advance.

F you, Guitar Center. F you big time.

@ramsey Why would they do that when they've got you?

"If you have bread, mustard, and another kind of mustard, then you have a delicious sandwich." - Michael Showalter

And The guy who played Charlie on Lost as a rock star! Awesome!

Was that just an Arrested Development reference on Chuck? "No touching!!!!"

OH Prof: "Most people that drive when they're totally sloshed manage to make it home alright."

Paying rent is my favorite thing to do! Hitting myself in the face with a hammer is runner up.

Hungry... off to find something delicious yet healthy for lunch.

Hmm... Not the sort of "action-packed day" I was hoping for. I'll specify "fun, action-packed day" next time.

Looking forward to an action packed day. Hopefully I'll come up with something to do...

#phptek Registration: check. Flight to Chicago: check. Enthusiasm: check. See you all there. (#tek09)

Sometimes when you make a mistake in a tweet, you just have to say "screw it" and move on with life.

@ElizabethN Lucky kids! We never got snowed days when I was in school. In my day, I had to walk 12 miles through the snow...

PS: Conan's interview with Steve Harvey was hilarious! So long Jay Leno!

I'm not a fan of spicy at all, but I love that Burger King has an item called the Angry Burger.

PF Changs = Yum!

Way sleepy. Almost ready for a good night's rest and a productive day tomorrow.

First date was excellent! Really looking forward to the second.

First date in an hour. Commence luck-wishing sequence. And that is exactly the type of thing I should NOT say tonight.

Note: Kimchi not quite as awesome as it sounds.

Oishii Bento for lunch. My haircut looks good. Still lots to do, but I'm having a good day.

Busy and exciting day today. Lots to do.

@jontangerine Glad you're home safe. In time to relax this weekend, I hope.

OH "Firemen are trouble Sean, I did everything in my power to keep you off the pole." from Psych.

@JustinKownacki I'm not a freelancer, but I do work from home and it would be nice to work outside of the apt once in a while.

@JustinKownacki I've heard you mention Crazy Mocha a few times. Are there any other places that freelancers in the city tend to congregate?

@jontangerine I was checking that place out last time I traveled to NYC. Let me know how it is.

@JustinKownacki PCPGH? I thought Pittsburgh's charm was its disregard for political correctness?

So, I just realized that I forgot to mention that I will be meeting many of you at PHP|tek in May. Yes, I'm very excited.

@ramsey Regarding your missing followers the other day... I'm wondering if Twitter did some spammer housekeeping.

Well-rested, feeling better, and glad to be back at work.

@coates Is that from Big Love?

I really wish I was feeling better. So much for "@slango never gets sick."

@robtreat2 Sorry... but I just... can't... resist. GO STEELERS!

@thesepeople I ShamWowed Tim just the other day. It wasn't as much fun as many might guess.

@auroraeosrose That's right, 23. Time to buy life insurance and look into retirement communities. Thanks! :-)

@ElizabethN, @Shiflett, @elazar Thank you! So far it has been happy. :-)

Off to waste some money at Circuit City's liquidation sale. Hoping CDs are cheap. Then hanging out with my bro and my mom for the day.

@k3ri lol.

@ramsey The Steven King novel? That started off slow, but got better iirc.

@lukewelling Fair enough. It just seems like refactoring is a very useful skill that is ignored in the education of programmers.

Wouldn't it be nice if programming instructors gave students bad code to practice refactoring? I've never had that.

Finishing up one project today, and moving on to the next one. I love starting something new.

@JustinKownacki I'll choose abstinence over AIDS anytime. Bush has made an effort in Africa though, and we shouldn't belittle that.

@preinheimer Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

@JustinKownacki A few months ago the Daily Show had a segment about how much good Bush has done for Africa. Who knew?

@jontangerine I suddenly feel great sorrow for @ElizabethN. Don't curse her like that!

Unable to come up with something clever for my 200th Tweet. So here it is. Awesome.

@h If you get a response to that, PLEASE re-tweet.

At Oishii yet again. Can you be addicted to sushi and miso soup? I think I have a problem.

@ramsey I prefer brownies.

@JustinKownacki I hope the humor came through on that last tweet.

@JustinKownacki I totally disagree. The path of least resistance is the path of virtue. You're totally wrong. I'm right.

@shiflett Really? Crap. I just sent him an email this morning. :-/

Looking forward to an awesome and productive day at work, then an awesome and productive night of cleaning my apartment.

Going to bed. Getting up early tomorrow so that I'm totally exhausted all day at work. Maybe I should rethink that...

@shiflett I always forget to ask you, but I've finally remembered: what do you use to sync your Facebook status with Twitter?

For a city that is so smart, there sure are a lot of total jackasses here.

Aesop Rock's "Float" sounds even better once you've bought it!

@shiflett http://nasloan.com/feed/post/index/type/rss

@devhousepgh Bummer. I just noticed your next meeting is on a Thursday. I've got classes at Pitt from 6 to 9 on Thursdays. :-/

@devhousepgh Do you require us to RSVP to attend in anyway?

Note to self: the starbucks on campus might be less filled with high school students.

Starbucks for a caramel apple spice, then back to the apartment for some relaxation before work.

@ElizabethN Some TV models do have that feature, but not all, and I'm not sure if it is enabled by default or not, in most cases.

@h Nope. I have tons of notes and ideas for an upcoming blog post collected on paper at this very moment.

Previous tweet was @shiflett.

Well software goes without saying. My point is that technology changes at a much faster pace today, and patents last too long.

@seancoates By the time Apple's patent expires, wireless charging will be taking hold. The US patent system needs to be rethought.

@itrebal God Damn Apple for patenting that. I hate that every worthwhile innovation is patented...

Ugh.... That's all, just ugh.

Fast lunch, then hurrying back to work to clear two things from my to do list once and for all. Then on to something new.

Good morning Twitter. I hear you've been having a rough day already.

@itrebal Are you getting the new MacBook Pro mammoth edition with the 8 trillion hour battery and terrifying price tag?

Oil change on the lunchbreak. Yay... Maybe I can eat too.

Pretty. Odd. by Panic at the Disco is the most under-appreciated album of 2008. Unless a lot more people appreciated it than I realize.

Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice and Blueberry Muffin for breakfast... I can not make a habit of this.

@JustinKownacki Sorry, saw it in your blog and decided to go the lazy route to find out more. I'll messge them, thanks.

@justinkownacki Any news on a when or where for the next Refresh Pittsburgh meet-up? I'd like to check it out, but no info on the website.

Roughly 90% sure that I will be attending PHP|Tek in May. Very excited about that.

Trying something new at Food for Thought. Yum. :-)

Not looking like it's going to be a great day so far.

http://nasloan.com/welcome-to-pittsburgh - The short version of why I love PGH, and my first worthwhile blog entry.

@nateabele How insignificant that must feel: to even fail at trolling. :-)

@auroraeosrose Sounds more like riding a bike while juggling a chainsaw, wrestling an alligator and solving advanced calculus.

⭐ 1

It is 1:00 AM, and I am only slightly tired... Work in 8 hours. Yeesh.

Hey... I just saw the Fail Whale for the first time since joining twitter! I feel like this is a major life milestone.

⭐ 1

Dinner was yummy. Being lazy for the rest of the evening.

Looking forward to what appears to be a delicious recipe for Teriyaki chicken. Go slow-cooker, go!

@auroraeosrose Fine, stupid question. :-) Last time I tried to defrost like half a pound on the two pound setting. Worked better this time.

How do I defrost one pound of chicken breast quickly without cooking it too much?

@shiflett That's why we've got the best Creative Director in the world... one that gets why that sucks, even though it looks nice. :-)

Made the big switch to Habari for my blogging needs: http://nasloan.com.

I know it's been out for a while, but Talk To Me was great! Don Cheadle's reaction to the death of Martin Luther King Jr. was very moving.

I just ate an apple, and it was absolutely delicious. Best Christmas gift ever: http://tinyurl.com/79jy93.

Sore neck and back this morning. Telling myself that if I write my blog app today, I will sleep more comfortably tonight.

@e3BethT Slango is always an option.

And mysteriously my twitter icon has returned of its own accord. Tada!

This year I will be twice as awesome as last year. Bet on it.

Back home in the beautiful (and slightly warmer) PGH. I wonder what I left in Michigan...

Looking forward to one or two self improvements in 2009 to complete my journey to perfection.

Back to PGH tomorrow, and I couldn't be happier.

@k3ri You were obviously up against a sharp wit.

Fun night... Should have been asleep hours ago though.

Hoping that my family's internet connection will be more cooperative now. I miss PGH.

Is dried fruit unhealthy?

Another wasted day.

"For British eyes only." Another great evening of Arrested Development. Hoping for a more interesting day tomorrow.

The traffic around the local mall today suggests that more people should opt for gift cards.

Have a very slangolicious Christmas everyone! And a slangotastic New Year!!!

@dotjay Not cool man. I'm drowning in an ocean of snow and ice. Thanks for rubbing it in.

@uberChick You know more ways to say "have a nice day" than anyone else I know. I hope *you* have a nice day! :-)

Would it be too "grinchy" of me to say that I cannot wait for December 26th? Because I CANNOT WAIT for December 26th.

@itrebal Yeah, Quicksilver might be a little bit better, but not by much. (And to be fair, I've only started with Do)

Testing Gnome Do twitter integration... Fancy.

For future reference: when visiting home, take vacation days. Caveat: do not tell your parents you are taking vacation days.

Long, tiring day. I saw too many people today, I think.

Hungry, but too tired to go get something. Seriously, what is wrong with me?

What is wrong with me? Exhausted.

Tricked! Met up with the ex to exchange belongings... only we didn't exchange any belongings, just polite conversation over lunch.

@shiflett @lukewelling I prefer the Defective Sun Theory.

Remember when I had a profile picture on Twitter, and then it just randomly went away? Suddenly I'm hesitant to add one again.

@ElizabethN luckily, he has an extraordinarily thick skull, and a top-notch guardian angel: just a broken nose and a very swollen eye.

My best friend was mugged and severely beaten by 6+ attackers last night. I told you guys the Detroit area was going to be dangerous.

Delicious spaghetti dinner at home. Now relaxing.

@wllm That comment was mostly mock-extremist hyperbole, but I think even Twitter has proven that RoR isn't up for the scalability challenge.

@itrebal Good call. I'm loving them so far.

/me wants to start a Pittsburgh PHP User Group. Are there any other PHP developers in PGH?

@tom_steelcoast I'd shy away from RoR if I were you. People are finally seeing it for the sham it is. Try PHP with Cake or Zend Framework.

Another great evening with the Bluths. "I'm a monster!!!!!!!!"

Oh yeah, and I'm buried in snow here: http://bit.ly/uNWv. Kill me.

Bored! Stupid friends and their stupid girlfriends... Also: what do I want for Christmas? People keep asking me. Fewer questions, maybe?

At the most illustrious event of the year: Romanelli's International Martial Arts Awards Banquet.

Snow sucks. Michigan sucks. I hate life.

@ramsey Oh, re-tweet. I should learn my twitter lingo *before* I make a fool of myself.

@ramsey You're developing something for Android? Do tell.

@auroraeosrose Ask not what PHP can do for you, but what you can do for PHP. Or ask both.

@ramsey Email client selection is clearly a least-evil situation. I think they all suck, that's how the man keeps us down.

Don't want to move... My back is staging a mutiny against the rest of me.

@auroraeosrose All I can say is "wow."

@tweetie Can you consider making landscape mode tweet editing a reality?

Good morning PGH and beyond! Last night, I discovered that Manifesto + a Google Reader account is the best RSS solution for the iPhone.

@jontangerine Welcome! Hopefully I'll have the good fortune of working on something with you soon. :-) Great article on 24 ways too!

More sushi at Oishii Bento tonight, yum!

Oishii Bento lives up to its name. (Oishii is "delicious" in Japanese.)

I actually get to try Oishii today. I have high hopes.

@auroraeosrose Die Hard is a guilty pleasure of mine too!

Damn you Twitter for not letting me edit my tweets.

Note to Self: Next time you leave you apt on a Sunday, remember that anywhere in PGH worth going is closed.

Sushi Quest: PGH continues today with Oishii. That's Japanese for "delicious." Let's hope the name is justified.

@auroraeosrose Actually these days at Western you would get points deducted for using two spaces.

Damn you Pittsburgh for looking deceptively warm.

The new Pepsi branding and marketing makes Coke taste like urine. Literally.

@mtabini I second scoates comments. I haven't touched my dock in months.

@auroraeosrose Me too. In fact, I'd love to make my whole living room a light box.

@jontangerine Be careful. Just when they know you like them, that's when they hurt you the deepest.

I want to start a PHP User Group in Pittsburgh, PA, so who wants to move here?

@gregchiasson It goes express past the Pessimism Ave and Unjustified Rage St stop after 9pm.

@tom_steelcoast A search for PHP and Pittsburgh turned up... you. You might want to check out the ##php and #phpc IRC channels on freenode.

@helgith Really enjoyed your Advent article. Excellent work!

My left thumb is seriously abused after an evening of attempting the more difficult achievements in Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2.

Excited to be past finals and back to work writing PHP tomorrow. No more of this silly C business.

That data structures final will never forget the name Nicholas Sloan.

@auroraeosrose Actually... your breakfast doesn't sound too bad. Maybe we should trade.

@elizabethn You should drop a donut off at the OmniTI Pittsburgh office too. ;-)

Running exactly one errand today, then a fun-filled day of queues, b-trees, linked lists, quicksorts and more! I should hate C by day's end.

@jontangerine "Bring forth the Chiasson." Words we can all live by.

@dotjay Thanks. We will see.

Did I conquer that exam, or did that exam conquer me? I guess we'll find out in a week or so.

Taking the day off so that I can try to make some sense of what my Intro to Info Sci final could possibly have on it.

Glad to be back in my own bed. Wishing for a second Sunday tomorrow.

Back home, safe and sound. Now for the homework and studying part... :-(

At CLE, psyched to get back to PIT. I tweet a lot when I travel.

Waiting at BWI... Wishing I had stayed for breakfast at the hotel.

Awesome, back to classes and final exams and outstanding homework.

Well rested after an excellent night of meeting a ton of great people. Sorry Stella, but you were worth missing for this.

@ramsey He's hanging out with me, how could he not have a blast?

Arrived safely at BWI. On my way to the hotel, then an evening of kicking it with my @Omniti pals.

About to depart to BWI from CLE. Isn't Pittsbugh closer to Baltimore than Cleveland? Yes, it is.

Stayed up too late playing GTA IV & Geometry Wars 2. Praying that I wake up in time for my flight.

Kind of hungry... but I don't know what I should eat.

Can't find my checkbook. If you have it, let me know.

The frequency at which I am re-encountering old friends is nothing short of incredible.

Dear Nicholas Sloan. Please clean your apartment before you're forced to hurl yourself off of the roof of this building. Thanks. Love, Nick.

@gregchiasson I know what you mean.

@phpadvent Your title for @weierophinney's article is the title for @enygma's article.

Struggling to stay alert in my data structures class. Last one of the semester (excluding the final exam).

Long and unproductive weekend. Damn you, Xbox 360.

@auroraeosrose Tell me about it... took me forever to get into Pennsylvania. Which way were you headed?

Work: Done until Monday. Class: Done until Monday. Turkey: soon. Happy: yes.

Attention World: I have a fairly simple class schedule: Mon and Tues, 6:00pm-8:50pm. Stop calling me during this time. Thanks, bye!

I find that I really enjoy using the expression "You say tomato, I say tomato," in typed or written communication.

So Pittsburgh is closed on Sundays?

Kind of sad and kind of glad that I am just now waking up. What adventures will today bring?

Seeing Quantum of Solace alone. Literally, no one else is on the theater yet

Trying the Sushi Boat as a part of my continued quest for good sushi in Pittsburgh.

Now accepting suggestions for fun things to do in Pittsburgh today.

I previously incorrectly stated that @lukewelling is making me afraid to go to Columbus. He's actually making me afraid of Columbia, MD.

Smart People wasn't too bad, but mostly because I love seeing Pittsburgh in movies. PGH even made Zach and Miri Make a Porno watchable.

@lukewelling: you guys in Columbus are making me feel a little bit nervous about visiting. I don't want to catch the plague.

I suck at twitter.

Fuel and Fuddle and Hemingway's with John and Lily. Fun night.

I get so disappointed when Twitter doesn't give me enough characters to share a brief quote from my crazy info science professor. :-(

Cleaning the apartment this weekend was moderately successful: still more to do, but it looks vastly better. Visitors this weekend!

Haircut at Enrico's was pretty good. Apartment cleaning for the rest of the day.

@shiflett sarcastically pointed out that I previously tweeted about eating IMDB, which was not my intent. I actually ate at IHOP.

@auroraeosrose I'll give it a read this weekend, if you'd like.

I kind of want ice cream from Dave and Andy's tonight, but I kind of don't want to walk over there. Dilemma.

@lukewelling you're right. We should make people park minivans in separate, back lots where they won't be such an eyesore. ;-)

@pmjones Just wanted to reply to your vote report and say "What's up?!" so that you feel obligated to use twitter again.

#votereport #15213 #wait:5 #good

Maybe I'll start NaNoWriMo today too.

"ROFL... That's uh... Why don't you f*** off, right?"

Out for some Halloween celebrating with some friends from home. BOO!

I. Don't. Feel. Like. Moving.

@seancoates sounds like you and @lukewelling have similar problems. Maybe a team-up against the auto industry is in order.

@seancoates don't let @nateabele hear that. he likes to steal people's joy.

TV Line of the night was, "I kind of hit that last night, so now she's all on my jock." by Gregory House, MD. I'll leave you with that.

Did someone lace my lunch with tryptophan or something today?

@seancoates That person was probably so proud of their idea too... :-(

Managed to take my morning walk without being rained on.

Today feels like a bad day, though I couldn't tell you why.

@nateabele screens that you could open and close at will would be pretty cool. I wonder if such a thing exists.

Too many tweets to read today. Off to bed after an un-productive yet satisfying day. Ought to do some laundry first thing tomorrow.

New Hulk was not too bad. Avengers movie now please?

One of those days when I have so much to do that I don't want to do any of it because I don't know where to start.

Forgive Durden will be releasing a musical album called Razia's Shadow featuring Brendan Urie, and Greta Salpeter (among others). Awesome.

30 Rock premier was good. Still too much Lemmon and too little Tracy Jordan. Got some healthier food at Giant Eagle. Now it's bed-time.

Trying Little Asia for lunch. Wish me luck.

awake and alert... praying for productivity after work today.

Going to bed late. Bet you a hundred bucks that I miss my morning walk tomorrow. I was really looking forward to it too. :-/

@wezfurlong FCP? Why not shoot for the stars with Avid?

@scoates how do you clean kegs? I've always wondered.

Ready to do something awesome tomorrow.

My professor just did a little dance in class because someone answered a question correctly... hilarious.

Homework SUCKS! I should just quit doing it.

Busy evening of homework ahead of me. I may have to sacrifice Heroes and Chuck for the cause tonight.

Should I have applied to Carnegie-Mellon University? I hate self doubt.

"Early bird gets the worm, but early worm might get caught in early bird's stomach, and can't escape from it." - from some song that I like.

Off to bed, looking dejectedly at my To-Do list for the day with far fewer checks than I had hoped. At least Entourage was good tonight.

Looking forward to Entourage, Dexter, Californication and (to a lesser extent) True Blood tonight.

@wezfurlong I think "bastard" is okay, as long as you don't sound too mean when you say it.

New desk chair. No Herman Miller, but it's pretty comfy. New battery for my car today too. Subways in Pittsburgh would be nice right now.

An evening on the southside: inclines and cheesecake.

Morning walk was great. Excited about a productive day.

My fears about the state of my apartment upon my return were true. Time to start cleaning.

Twitter... The things I'll do at 1 AM

Sleeping in my own bed again!
