[c9]

Not blogging much these days - I used to have an extension for Firefox that would let me easily blog from any page, which led to my preponderance of links and quotes from pages. But it's not supported in Firefox 3.5 yet, and I haven't found a suitable replacement yet.

(Wants: post to LJ, Facebook, and Twitter in any combination I choose. Live in a toolbar button. Be stupid simple.)

I'm still reading LJ, though I'm gradually migrating all the public RSS feeds into Google Reader and just leaving real LJ people on LJ.

As for tweets, I just tweeted by 666th update! Hide your children and grab your rosaries. I've posted various interesting (to me) things on Twitter recently, so I thought I'd duplicate some of them here in case anyone is curious. If you're on twitter and would like to find me, I'm "c_9" (c9 was taken).

1. RT @furtivecode: protip: go to the Apple store the day when they start selling new Snow Leopard and you'll get a free t-shirt w/ less crowd
   
   
2. OMG this looks fun. Also painful. Just saw video on Daily Planet. http://www.redbullcrashedice.com/video
   
   
3. RT @davidakin: RT @shawndearn: Apple retail store in Ottawa Rideau Centre to open July 18, 9:30am. Free t-shirt to first 1000 peeps.
   
   
4. Public Domain status of the original Rorschach inkblots causes EPIC battle at Wikipedia over whether it's OK to publish. http://is.gd/1ySYF
   
   
5. When someone asks if you think electronic passports are a good idea, please say no. http://is.gd/1yL8O
   
   
6. Dvorak has been giving bad advice since I was in school. A fun one: http://is.gd/1yL0D (Apple should kill iPhone project, back in 2007)
   
   
   
7. Client site I'm at formerly psych clinic / ministry / window+door retailer. Internal arch. of building actually shows this clearly. Weird.
   
   
8. "If you've ever wondered who's in control, you or your cat, a new study points to the obvious. It's your cat." http://is.gd/1yprc
   
   
9. Also: apparently CBC Newsworld audience is primarily made up of seniors (who fall in the tub). Is that why I feel so tired this morning?
   
   
10. While brushing teeth, could have sworn I heard Colleen Jones (CBC weather forecaster & Cdn Curling star) say "there's a rainbow warning".
    
    
11. Useless interview techniques: "Mr Chretien, how happy is Mrs Chretien about you receiving this honour?"
    
    
12. @tylerfleming Like I said - Miller and Smitherman were both being disingenuous. Both should have been more honest. *Both* were stunts. :-)
    
    
13. RT @wilw Attention people who love The Muppets! http://is.gd/1xG3f
    
    
14. @canuck1975 He's welcome 2 run, but better not pull childsh/ridculous "Toronto needs streetcars? I'm so confused" stunts if he wants my vote
    
    
15. Well that explains all the French I'm seeing and hearing. Sudbury is 30% Franco-Ontarian! http://is.gd/1xFJL
    
    
16. Good advice 4 those trying to replace Toronto Mayor Miller. http://is.gd/1xzRS My take: he's not perfect but better than most other options
17. Today's software nuisance: can't use dual display with LiveMeeting2007 app sharing. Detrimental 2 my class, #microsoft ! (KB article 944639)
    
    
18. Saw an old, very short school bus, labeled "Greater Sudbury Rapid Transit". Then 2 mins later saw a "real" city bus, route #7. Hmmm.
    
    
19. day not nearly as bad as I feared. Hooray for worrying triggering Murphy's Law! Also, sweet internet connection here! :)
    
    
20. heading 4 client site 4 day 1 of course. Internet lag from Sudbury 2 Ottawa very bad - this course could B a disaster, or it could B fine.
    
    
21. Arrived safe & sound in Sudbury. Highlights of drive: ... um... lots of nature. Beautiful actually, but Canadian Shield somewhat repetitive.
    
    
22. Highway to Sudbury very boring.
    
    
23. Driving to Sudbury this evening. Staying there all week. Can't think of ANYTHING interesting about this.
    
    
24. Hooray! @sockington was missing but has been found! It's surprisingly scary when your cat decides that today is a completely disappear day.
    
    
25. There is an unusually large correlation between Top Chef contestants and the phrase "throw me under the bus". I am suspicious of this.
    
    
26. Congratulations to @dymsum on being appointed to the Massachusetts Gay & Lesbian Anti-Violence Project!
    
    
27. Just reached Aeroplan Prestige status for 2010 - halfway to Elite, which means only traveling 40% as much as last year. More! (Not really)
    
    
28. Success! Just had to completely install a different OS, then try again. Stupid and in theory not possible, yet there it is.
29. Work laptop needs to be wiped and have XP installed. Refuses to boot fully off multiple XP CDs. W2003, Ubuntu, Win7 all work. Surreal.
