So @24ways (http://24ways.org) for 2010 has started!
Tennessee is know for some interesting things at times. :(
designforcare Scribes widely hired to bridge the islands of clinical automation created by EMRs. Why not better process design? http://bit.ly/ebZOTw
did the whole #bbd4 thing for both classes today, didn’t wear it outside, way too much rain. #shouldhavegottenpicture
“it looks like you’re making an org chart, would you like to add a layer of middle management?” #clippy
PARCinc Interesting read on research “inside the labs” at @MSFTResearch @hplabs @IBMResearch http://bit.ly/fG28xl
asbruckman Any suggestions for good readings on The Digital Divide and The Participation Divide for my undergrad technology & society class?
anyone have any experience with bluetooth headphones with mics? No way I’d do a earpiece, but could see the headphones working well. #fb
just put a big dent in the Christmas shopping list!
presentation went well for 590DCL!
@pragprog ah! ya, I get it. Guess I needed a larger sample to work out the pattern there. Which I’ll have once my Friday books get here.
@pragprog looking at my new Seven Languages book and some of the older ones, it seems there’s two colors of @pragprog red, any reasoning?
I think @elbrownmcne is going to end up kicking me out of my own office before the #elbrownabduction is over.
Gone to find Will Smith #elbrownabduction

dear MS, why must you go and take my clipart image away?
@danaferguson Taken out of context “Maybe I’ll wrap up some empty boxes too…” would sound very sad, luckily the context makes it happy.
Hope @pragprog fed the gerbils well today, they were super quick on generating PDFs yesterday during the sale.
@danaferguson Tree looks very nice, very traditional looking. I do however, think the tree is going to get cold!
@compujeramey Nope, nothing yet. Did find a rather round about way to add it to the wishlist then remove it would give the option “I own it”

Where’d the @amazon “I own it” button go on items?
pragprog We felt sorry for people lining up in the cold, so we started the sale a little early—coupon code is “turkey”, discount is 40%

just hit play on the first demented Christmas track for the season. #fb
Thinking tweet needs to become a SQL datatype (or at least alias it to a 140 char varchar).
So Tuesday in discussing SQL data types and making tables, there seemed to be a trend of sizing things in tweet lengths.

I think @elbrownmcne is going to have something to look forward to next week, it is clearly time for some demented Christmas music.
“One of those at sign things, I think they’re going to be the next big thing.”
@CharterDylan Ok, they aren’t time sensitive or anything like that.
@CharterDylan thanks for checking on the cancel.
@CharterDylan I sent @CharterWitten some DMs yesterday about my level of frustration currently with @Charter, otherwise good at the moment.
@CharterWitten In your magic working yesterday, and thanks again, did my @Charter Dec. 2nd appointment get canceled? If not, can you cancel?
after all the press they’re getting finally coming to iTunes, how many other groups/artists are wishing they had held out like the Beatles?
Lucky for MS I both know and know of people within their organization aware of and concerned about cross-platform issues.
Can’t help but feel from the commercials that Microsoft’s vision of the cloud is restricted to Windows and select hardware partners.
@CharterJeremy @CharterDylan be great to see more tweets like this from @Charter team in future. Well, not more issues, but more news about.
@trevormunoz Been looking for an eXist like product or been looking for a justification for it?
most people don’t have technology problems [with the limits of technology], they run into policy and people problems well before that. #fb
@mrwtn865 : @MattWillisDC, @lgvelazco, and I seem to be doing just fine with our conversation as is.
@mrwtn865 Well I doubt my Christmas presents are going to be a surprise at this point, but I promise to do better (or worse) than free MP3s.
So @amazonmp3 is giving me an option to gift an MP3 album. Only problem: it’s a free album. #bigspender
… partly self made, I’ll grant you. I get feeling it’s something they thinking about & trying to find way beyond cc:@MattWillisDC @lgvelazco
@MattWillisDC Don’t be too hard on @lgvelazco, #MS is improving on where they’ve been. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place…
Ah! Internet again working, however, @Charter TV is now wigging out, lost signal twice in last 30mins.
Thinking that @MattWillisDC and others might want to know about printed book of April 1st RFCs: http://www.rfc-humor.com/ (or read online)
@MattWillisDC there’s also some implementation experience document here: (http://www.blug.linux.no…)
@MattWillisDC rfc 2549 adds quality of service information. (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/…)
considering investing in the hardware required to implement rfc 1149 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/…). #fb
have @Charter Internet back for the moment, wonder how long this will last?
@CharterWitten Glad to have looked at it again, but this same story I hearing in late September when it stopped; tech came said signal fine.
And yes, having better cell service than cable Internet was one of the reasons I turned down @Charter’s offer.
The irony of today being the day @Charter offered me free phone service so I could see benefits of backup to my cell phone isn’t lost on me.
Coming home to a lack of @Charter Internet is becoming a bit too regular an occurrence for my taste.
@nicolibrarian clearly I’d agree with use the right tool at the right place/time. Paper for vision, code for working out details seems good.
@nicolibrarian was thinking of the “mockups are great for print … not for interaction” vs. the “start on paper …”
@nicolibrarian seems to contradict the paper or Balsamiq statement from a bit ago. (Thanks, for posting these, btw, great to think about)
@nicolibrarian Any chance that a poor UI lead you to accidentally delete the old one? #talkaboutirony
@lgvelazco Thanks, got some more details, sounds like they’ve done that. Just waiting for the reset now.
@lgvelazco is there a good contact for hotmail issues? trying to determine if the issue is someone spoofing an address or account is hacked.
@lgvelazco You have to watch @elbrownmcne, otherwise the chicken ends up looking a lot pizza, and not even chicken pizza.

Saw a rocking internship via. email today with @IBMResearch’s Collaborative Technologies and Infrastructure. Tragically, not a PhD student.
@ZicklePop And yet, when I click the link, you don’t have any that are in the future. :D

@nicolibrarian Not sure how that would compare to kickboxing, but looks interesting.
So it seems @elbrownmcne fears the @twitter backchannel.
@nicolibrarian Robert’s Kickboxing Training seems unlikely, given the kiddo and all…

@beki70 You at least have the legitimate excuse of knowing multiple languages and dialects, I just have one and do horrible things to words
You’d have a hard time reading a picture book out loud. #fb
@beki70 I’ve noticed the same thing with misspelling words. I think your post has motivated me to just stop fixing them as well.
Told @summerMistine that @mrwtn865 and I would meet her for lunch as soon as we finished writing tweets and talking about #newtwitter :(
