@alaken alas, no…I have a very old motorola flip phone. 🙂 thx tho. in reply to alaken #
talked to @olybuzz abt phones: "there's wifi in the hotel & at conf, right? then just turn off phones & don't worry abt it." ok then! #
@heyrocker I'm mostly worried about coordinating w @olybuzz. not anticipating needing otherwise! in reply to heyrocker #
@markmessinger sounds like they should've tried a small charge, ala flickr or @PinboardIN (which I LOVE for bookmarking, btw) in reply to markmessinger #
hm. perhaps it would be simpler/cheaper for @olybuzz & I to get prepaid phones…or walkie-talkies…for @drupalsummit. gr. #
@spaceninja oh heck…hadn't even thought about that. stupid canada, being a foreign country. 😉 in reply to spaceninja #
@dylanw seriously. (I imagine plumbers etc have this problem too, tho.) in reply to dylanw #
. @TurtleNorthwest right…that must be the one that shows up on the map. might have to make a trip over there just in case. 🙂 in reply to TurtleNorthwest #
@Oakwright how's the one over by your office? in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright @TurtleNorthwest TDM is actually kinda special to me & @olybuzz from early dating in Tacoma. sad there isn't one close anymore! in reply to Oakwright #
oh, anybody know wtf happened to the taco del mar in lacey by fred meyers? there was an eviction notice for unpaid rent on the door! #

RT @alixito: RT @seattletimes: Could u go on all-potato diet? head of WA Potato Commission is doing it: http://seati.ms/bwklUh – probly. 🙂 #
@dylanw ha! I srsly almost spit tea all over my monitor. (there def needs to be a heweb-west.) in reply to dylanw #
never mind. their office doesn't even open until 9:30. kinda wish wait time showed "this location is closed" instead of wait 0 hrs/0 mins. #
hm. have to renew DL today, according to DOL site wait time is 0. I have a mtg at 10:30. should I go for it? #
also seen in @theolympian article – new owner also bought old post office on A St in Tacoma. didn't know that wasn't a PO anymore! #
good news, I think. RT @theolympian: The historic brewhouse at the foot of Tumwater Falls has a new lease… http://bit.ly/dtF4K6 #
@librarienne I'm on Health Month (same username) – would love to be on a team. in reply to librarienne #

@emmettoconnell @ahniwa I think I'm meant to stick with paper. or if I don't care abt web on reader, then the kindle. in reply to emmettoconnell #
@emmettoconnell depends on what you want to do with it. interaction = drupalgardens vs writing/publishing = wordpress.com in reply to emmettoconnell #
@alixito just thinking maybe library ebooks would be a good money/time-saver. (me: jealous that SPL has safari online subscription.) in reply to alixito #
@alixito yes: that wacky building downtown. 🙂 http://bit.ly/aKogm1 (you're in Seattle, right?) in reply to alixito #

between that & @fakebaldur's tweets, am all fired up to finish last year's nano & get started on a story for @NaNoWriMo 2010! #
had a great afternoon: mocha, farmer's market, writer's group at orca books, then riding home, which was delightful even in rain. #
@decorabilia cool…I happen to know someone who hits that # on Tuesday. 🙂 in reply to decorabilia #
@decorabilia does that cryptic tweet call for a "happy birthday!" ? in reply to decorabilia #
today's weather is almost exact opposite of yesterday's. really really really glad we went out yesterday. (last sunbathing of the yr?) #
@fakebaldur no kidding…I wish I learned about that in college! (creative writing major, btw.) I may actually have a blog post coming… in reply to fakebaldur #

Twitter Digest for 2010-09-26

@fakebaldur con't: the position of agile software developers: just ship something. @NaNoWriMo is very instructive. in reply to fakebaldur #
@fakebaldur makes me wonder if the focus on editing/polishing (in fiction at least) is to our detriment. perhaps fiction authors shd take… in reply to fakebaldur #

tired. a little crabby. watching 70s era sinbad movie. #
@olyhillary mmmm, rules lawyers. in reply to olyhillary #
THIS. RT @dylanw: I always forget one of the easiest ways out of feeling blue is to MAKE THINGS. #

@Oakwright oh, and thank you for the @zoecello link. zomg beautiful. I <3 cello. in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright ah yes, I knew I'd forgotten something: backhoe broke the internets. :\ (plus a migrane+cartilage+cramps sick day.) in reply to Oakwright #

@kitchenmage friendfeed still seems to be rolling along. or I guess we could all go post on our own blogs or something. 😉 in reply to kitchenmage #
@simonstl true story: 1 of our cats is named for Pikachu. we watched SOOOOO much Pokemon late 90s/early 00s. I would watch that, absolutely. #
@olyhillary unfortunately, I'm out of town that weekend! 🙁 in reply to olyhillary #
@science_goddess alas, I'll be in Vancouver BC. really wishing it weren't the same weekend as @drupalsummit 🙁 in reply to science_goddess #

@fakebaldur cool, it came up in the book I just finished. http://bit.ly/aswPe0 #
@xtracycle IKEA bags are pretty nice inside the freeloaders. I'll note that the rainbag thing hasn't always gone well for me, esp at office. in reply to xtracycle #
I would appear to be highly distractable today. #
@fakebaldur which reminds me, apropos of not much: were you the one who linked to a study where a dead salmon showed emotion on fMRI? in reply to fakebaldur #
in the spirit of "there's a module for that" #drupal RT @heyrocker: KHAAAAAAAAAAN! http://bit.ly/ay5xH8 #
@fakebaldur yipes. I love tracking my books in GoodReads (and found a local community!) but that's weak. #
@ltackett admittedly, hasLayout is usually the answer if the question has anything to do with IE. in reply to ltackett #
@ltackett it's not that. it's some sort of caching thing in which IE (all v.) FORGETS THAT CSS EXISTS. (sorry for shouting. drives me nuts.) in reply to ltackett #
I would really like to fix whatever it is that makes IE spaz out on the CSS when I update menus or themes. #drupal #ie #wtf #
@cell911 AMAZING moon photos! thanks for sharing. #
@Oakwright BE CAREFUL! (my mom broke her arm tripping on a sidewalk at work. then her hip tripping on electrical cord.) in reply to Oakwright #
@kegill just took the survey, found some of the questions problematic, incomplete, or useless. in reply to kegill #
@morrischris re: network world article – #6 is red herring. reading newspaper does the same thing. not esp impressed by rest of list either. in reply to morrischris #

@dylanw ideally one's professional work speaks for itself. #
@dylanw on a serious note, I think the emphasis on "great personal site" is discriminatory against people with full grown-up lives. in reply to dylanw #
@dylanw hmmmmmm…design challenge…. oh, what am I saying? like I have time. in reply to dylanw #
hey, wait, is that blue sky I see out the window? hmmmm, maybe a good time for an afternoon walk? #

@dylanw don't go changing that personal site. the giant list is awesome. (like me not wearing makeup to interview: u see who I am up front.) #
@thereisnocat that certainly gives one hope. 🙂 #
@dylanw it has been ever thus. (see Hackers (book), Soul of a New Machine, etc.) cue cursing/gnashing of teeth. #cheapbastards in reply to dylanw #
@RobertAHunter alas, no…if you find any, plz share! in reply to RobertAHunter #
::sigh:: RT @FakeAPStylebook: Stories about women working in traditionally male fields should emphasize their hotness. #
just saw @ScrivenerApp news about Scrivener for Windows. wow. this puts the idea of a netbook srsly back into play. #
yep, that would be same bday as @dylanw. you'd think that wd help me remember both. you'd be wrong. #

@shelleypowers hell with that, I would like an *actual* Gayroller, at least at Hot Wheels scale. in reply to shelleypowers #
@wsdot is it really? funny, I went back to the bus today after almost a week with the car, probly most car commuting I've ever done. in reply to wsdot #
on plus side, foot appears back to normal. on minus side, wtf is up with my leg? feels like somebody punched me in the back of the thigh. #
@dylanw happy birthday! (I thought I remembered it was coming up.) in reply to dylanw #

just finished editing @eastsideolympia newsletter for Oct. now my eyeballs and brain hurt. is there chocolate in the house? #
@kitchenmage @Jeters I haven't, but I think a friend's wife did a couple of years ago. What do you want to know? I might be able to ask. in reply to kitchenmage #
"advertising network?!" RT @simonstl: Now I really need to get my blogs off of Movable Type. http://tcrn.ch/a1lNeU #
crazy, I just won a free shirt from MailChimp. http://bit.ly/bjhZsI (also, sending message abt thursday's friends of the library event.) #
@kitchenmage have u read schneier? http://bit.ly/9eoYxd is freaking awesome. alas, there's basic psychology to fight & media doesn't help. in reply to kitchenmage #
@kitchenmage indeed. when that first one was done, I was still in high school. (and my baby sis was 10.) in reply to kitchenmage #
@kitchenmage no (free) full text avail, nothing later than 1996! but '91 survey seems to be the most cited. biggest worry? car accidents. #
@kitchenmage argh. librarian in me is going nuts on mayo clinic survey. best I can find is http://bit.ly/cgTndC and http://bit.ly/9nYGEk #
@mooshymama doc's pretty sure insect of some sort, probly spider bite. not srs enuf to test. definitely NOT brown recluse, black widow, etc. in reply to mooshymama #
@kitchenmage I'm curious what options were listed in the survey. in reply to kitchenmage #
@SillyJilly they did that just based on surname?! (my aunt's last name is Fernandez; Puerto Rican husband. she, OTOH, is definitely NOT.) in reply to SillyJilly #
might actually make it thru whole day w/out having to put my foot up. huzzah! #
@dylanw killing it with fire? run screaming from the room? #
RT @kitchenmage: Goddess yes! RT @clr: @kitchenmage pet peeve – when msm says: "New Blog!" it's not a new blog you moron, it's a new POST #
reading robert's rules is making me even more snarky than usual about off-topic stuff in meeting. 🙂 #
@emmettoconnell I'm regretting opening my box of fall/winter clothes. :\ in reply to emmettoconnell #
huh. it's WAY warmer in the library mtg room than it was at my desk. #
@cherylwiens not necessarily. WordPress.org installs on yr own site; WordPress.com is hosted (like blogger). in reply to cherylwiens #
::ded from teh cute:: RT @morrischris: Sweets dropped by to check out the new digs. http://twitpic.com/2qnlzc #
@cherylwiens I'm partial to WordPress.com, partially because then it's easy to upgrade to a regular WordPress install. Also, easy to use. in reply to cherylwiens #
@lauras Srsly? Weak. (I <3 their 1-click WP, the 1-click Drupal, not so much; can't install yr own modules/themes IIRC.) WTF, @DreamHost? in reply to lauras #
QOTD "Please do not copy and paste from Word as Elaine has promised me it will unleash Gremlins that will consume our Blog." #
coincidence of the day: @mkelley & @rshevlin both complaining abt "Game Changer" #BizSpeakFTL in reply to mkelley #
but for reals, it's been quite illuminating. like Victorian-era D&D rules. (is making a motion a full-round action?) #
finally read Robert's Rules (in brief) – IM DOIN IT RONG. (or have been, anyway, in the area of taking minutes.) #
v happy w/signup module now. auto-reminder prompted people to say they aren't coming. so organizers can contact waitlist. yay #drupal #
@dylanw ok, being serious now. "Clear and insightful thinking from the trenches about the web and higher education." #
@dylanw "Some serious ranting, but in a good way." #
@dylanw "Funny, insightful, weird, whatever." #
@rshevlin in our house that word is only used to refer to the person who gets off the couch to put a new disc in the Wii. 😉 in reply to rshevlin #

@kegill spider bite (I think) on my calf Friday afternoon. foot & ankle swelled up like crazy Fri night/Sat. yesterday a little better. in reply to kegill #
