Hyperlocal blogging – Dave Winer is a proponent of hyperlocal blogging and so am I. Here are three hyperlocal blogs … http://ow.ly/1aTnv1 #
Die, Go Daddy, die. Your interface is literally making me crazy. #
@danmactough I'll bite. What's your del.icio.us oatmeal? #
EC2 for Poets – Or, how to setup a server on Amazon. http://t.co/T09JrG8 #
@justinryanbeck too late! #
@viticci Handy tip about Alfred and OmniFocus, thx. #
@patrickrhone Since using my Livescribe pen, I realize how crappy my penmanship has become. #
@fraserspeirs I use Evernote to bookmark Twitter links in Seesmic on Android when I get no service on the train. #
@fraserspeirs I used to keep PDFs and misc stuff in Evernote. But then I bought DEVONthink and it blew my mind. #
@fraserspeirs DEVONthink to go is native, eh? Lacking in functionality but I have faith that it'll get more powerful/useful in time. I hope. #
The power and elegance behind the Elemental WordPress framework by @prothemedesign is magnificent. http://t.co/Je9RubM #
Re-enabling the all powerful Twitter Tools for WordPress/Twitter synthesis. http://t.co/WRq1GD0 #
Holy crap. Registering an application on Twitter Dev site to get Twitter Tools up and running is ridiculous. #
@BinaryMoon If you build it, I will use it. #
Foundation blog redesign complete. Check out http://t.co/3AeozZQ built on the Elemental WordPress Framework. Happy day. #
The Nudemen Clock lovedbdb.com/nudemenClock/index2.html #
@Buzzmodo great idea. I'd love to run that script. Can I get a copy? #
Finally getting around to @Dropbox(ifying) my @MarsEdit setup. http://t.co/FFud1B0 #
I like how the @MarsEdit Mac app tweets for itself. Must take a load off of @danielpunkass. #
Oooops. Wrong link for that @MarsEdit to @Dropbox tip. Here's the proper link. http://t.co/kFyDtKU #
Using Little Snapper for screen grabs on my current project. Typically I use Snagit. Haven't formed an opinion yet but so far so good. #
@danielpunkass Awesome news, Daniel. Congrats on Black Ink's placement in the top 20. #
@BinaryMoon I'd like to know as well. I just filter those emails out of sight, automatically, via Gmail filter. #
This post makes me glad I've got a Droid2, not a Samsung Android. I kinda like having the latest OS. http://t.co/9RdIbFK #
@fraserspeirs Me too. I used to have Basecamp, Backpack, and other subs. Now I prefer to buy software that doesn't cost me $/month. #
What the heck is going on with NYPD cracking down on bicyclists? Crazy stuff. Give us a break. #
Installed Opera Mini to test access to a client's site for an upcoming mobile UX study. Works and fast! http://t.co/0QxA968 #
@danbenjamin I can't wait to download the 5by5 app. This means I won't have to do the iTunes dance to get your shows, right? #
Installed Apptivate. Now Terminal Velocity is summoned by a mere touch of the 'F1' key on my Matias Tactile Pro. #
Here Comes Science to my Mac. http://t.co/sJJNYJc #
@Buzzmodo thx for the script, Buzz. #
I wish I could create a Mac instance of EC2. I'd run all kinds of Mac server stuff. #
With my own Mac EC2, the first thing I would do is install BusyCal as a server. #
Once Dave writes a Howto for creating an EC2 micro-instance, I'm in. http://t.co/Epk0zBo #
@BinaryMoon thx for the link but that's greek to me. not sure how to implement that solution. #
@BinaryMoon just saw this. i'll wait for your write-up before i try anything. #
Configured Apptivate to show/hide Twitter with the 'F2' key. #
Identity Verification via Telephone is weird. An Amazon robot called me to verify signing up for an EC2. #
Created my first EC2 instance. Waiting for password generation and encryption so I can carry on. #
Hell yeah I'm taking 6 weeks off this year to be with my baby. I'd take more if I could. http://t.co/gpE797j #
@davewiner This is cool. I'm looking at my EC2 Windows machine right now. OPML Editor just booted up. Exciting. #
@Buzzmodo Haven't been into work yet where my PC resides. Will try tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Chrome user but I'll try it w/FF. #
I would LOVE to import/host my old OPML Editor site, blogs.opml.org/dwatts on my EC2. Sad that site went away. Years of posts gone. #
Interesting that http://t.co/omlhuZM now points to http://t.co/PqdWFoy #
Darn Twitter URL shortener. Interesting that the old blogsdotopmldotorg site points to a site called creative clarity. #
@1Password Excellent tip. I've been meaning to do that but didn't know the best approach. #
LittleSnapper allows me to relocate my library. Nice. Moved to Dropbox. No symlink nonsense required. #
@shawnblanc thx for the idea. queuing up articles now. hey, some of yours are in there, of course. #
@danielpunkass Due to Twitter's lame archival policy, I'm using Tweet Library. #
I just bought a $20.00 Amazon Gift Card for $10.00 through Living Social. You can too. Great deal: http://bit.ly/hwjqjA #
I've no idea what an Elastic Beanstalk is but it's making me hungry. #
http://goo.gl/xTjjc #
â€œ@Chris_Sheader: Heartily recommending @KouroshDini s Creating Flow With #Omnifocus € (DITTO) #
Sleep Cycle got me up at 4:50 and I feel great. #
We signed up for Planet Organics once again. Organic groceries delivered to our door bi-weekly. #
That's weird. There's a Tweet in my timeline to the Google homepage. Only, I didn't tweet it. #
Hanging low, the Moon accompanies me to work. #
nvALT is great. Get it. http://t.co/OidT9oR #
My Geckoboard invite arrived today. Very excited. I've wanted my own Dashboard since @Panic published theirs. http://t.co/h75hfmA #
And, just like that, I have a stand up desk at work. Couldn't stand sitting anymore. #
@matthewdunn94 I got my @geckoboard invite today too and am excited as Hell about the possibilities. #
Definitely going to turn my @Geckoboard into a SSB with Fluid http://t.co/d2u9f8r #
Wondering what the tipping point will be for me to keep my EC2 server turned on at all times. Got to justify the expense. #
Gave up my Wells Fargo personal checking/savings account. Tired of getting dinged at least $10/month. #
Going to try out Menu Eclipse 2 by Xybernic for total focus. http://t.co/OwYmajq #
Sold. Just purchased a license for Menu Eclipse 2 for $5. Perfect utility for Mac to keep me focused. #
I don't want to die any earlier than possible. Just Stand. http://t.co/aGu3zVn #
@viticci There exists a correlation between your #MacStoriesDeals Tweets and the thickness of my wallet. Will investigate further. #
@davewiner very cool. I want donovanriver. maybe that will be a good 1st step for my EC2. Where do I get that theme you are using? I like. #
@davewiner the main reason i like google reader is the portability of my subs. i try/use all kinds of readers and want my subs to follow. #
I just added a Google Alert to my Geckoboard. Awesomeness increasing rapidly. http://t.co/JaLPl89 #
Oops. Here's the link I meant to post. It's a How-to. http://t.co/llll15Y #
Nice, Widgets for your Geckoboard. http://t.co/rPp2oSt #
Polishing up my usability report on a Friday night. Will not settle. #
@redsweater Me want Red Sweater sticker. Blog post about MarsEdit coming soon. #
Going to create a micro (mini?) EC2 instance this weekend for my upcoming UX-centric River of News. I plan 2 keep this instance running 24/7 #
The Matias Tactile Pro Keyboard makes my blogging sweet like candy. http://t.co/vGkXGrN #
Wondering what kind of response time I can expect to my 3 questions in the @prothemedesign forum? #
@prothemedesign Thanks. Not sure why they got spammed. I'll login now. #
â€œ@davewiner: Scripting News: Do you remember how OPML used to work? http://t.co/Iak10XTâ€ (Sure do) #
Weird. I couldn't get into Twitter and had to reset my pass. #
Parker has a new sling. http://t.co/Qmj2doK #
@BinaryMoon thx for the forum help. Looking forward to the Elemental updates. #
There have been 337 clicks on my @prothemedesign ad in the past 5 days. http://t.co/Ps6vSRh #
Edit the sad parts #
I'm a @prothemedesign affiliate because their WordPress Framework and themes kick serious ass. http://t.co/pWZM2YJ #
Total money made to date for being an affiliate = $0.00. I rounded up. #
No matter. #
@justinryanbeck so that's how you do it. #
@danmactough ah, the joys of what I have to look forward to. #
@BinaryMoon I like your plans for the new year. I want to write a similar post about 2010 and my plans for the year ahead. #
@sbecerra I'll be testing a mobile site built on the Usablenet platform next week. #
The city of El Cerrito, CA has a robust website. http://t.co/0klLVqt #
The City of El Cerrito, CA also has an active Twitter account @cityofelcerrito. #
My long-time friend, Ann Cheng was recently appointed Mayor of El Cerrito. http://t.co/RuHyArf #
I've often thought of starting a hyperlocal blog for El Cerrito. I'd surely use The Local Hyperlocal Theme http://t.co/lMiFzxs #
Experimenting with Elemental templates. There are so many! Here's my full-width About page http://t.co/SyjSQXN #
Looking into this @anywhere Twitter thing. #
