Twitter updates for 2008-05-28
Posted on May 28, 2008 by mogrify- In my study is an enormous mess. I'll set the place on fire, I guess. What would I do with all the junk? Stuff it in some massive trunk? #
- Throwing away my old Palm Vx. #
- Hey! I found two Pentiums! That's dual-core, baby! #
- Yes, I'm live-blogging Operation Clean Up The Study. Tune in now! #
- Q: What are all these things here that have never been opened and are taking up space? A: Storage boxes from Ikea! Score! #
- No wonder audiocassettes fell out of favor. No one could find any. They're all in my study. #
- Old Shiner Bock bottle! #
- Stern magazine from 2001 with Harry Potter on it. #
- @jmlumpkin Bet you didn't find a copy of Ubuntu 6.06 Beta! #
- Found my copies of Fallout and Fallout 2, aka digital meth. #
- @jmlumpkin OK, you win
Unless I find something older… # - Ah, a box full of cables. Looks like a Comcast van exploded. #
- Found the shortest ethernet cable I have ever seen. It's less than a foot, I think. #
- And another one! I could host a LAN party for people with no concept of personal space. #
- A discman! Can you imagine leaving the house with only 80 minutes of music on your person? Medieval. #
- I found my degree. It's a BA in Psychology. I'd forgotten because I never use it. #
- Assembly of Ikea storage boxes threatens to derail the project. #
- @kamenlee Feel 'meh' about my host (Dreamhost). If 'meh' is what you're shooting for, don't hesitate. #
- They have different laws of physics in Sweden. That's the only explanation for Ikea. #
- Also, little known fact: MySQL is built entirely out of spare IVAR shelf parts. That's why it's so fast. #
- Twenty years from now, all the Twitter engineers' kids will be in therapy due to lack of parenting. #
- @mogrifette Bummer. #
- @mogrifette Want to assemble Ikea boxes?
# - @mogrifette I'm assembling one for your reference
# - The Twitter API has cut me off. #
- Found a box of unspeakably ancient raisins. Like, Indiana Jones ancient. #
- @peeppeep I was going to tell you which one is right, but it can't be done without sounding like an asshole. Even though you asked. #
- Yip yip yip yip yip yip oh my god yip yip yip yip #
- I love dogs, really I do. The thing in my neighbor's yard is not a dog. It is a rat with a collar and an inferiority complex. #
- @kamenlee GoDaddy is evil, please do not choose them. The universe will thank you someday. #
- Removable floppy drive for a laptop I threw away long ago! #
- S3 ViRGE/GX video board! #
- Need to do some electronics recycling. #
- @mogrifette mogrifido, heh, I like that. Maybe she needs her own Twitter account like @HussiTheDog. #
- Found an old computer microphone, perhaps it even works. #
- Big fat no on the microphone there. #
- Okay, done enough damage for one night. Sweet dreams, Twitterland. #

- So… cold… in… here… #
- At least the pagination button isn't there, taunting me, when I know it won't work anyway. #
- Oh, they're making a film version of "The Road," by Cormac McCarthy. I loved that book! http://tinyurl.com/4tuzep #
- With the child tax credit, we paid no taxes last year. Having babies is fun AND profitable. #
- Silly Twitter… everybody knows birds can't lift a whale. #
- Monkeys, brains, and robots. Who could ask for anything more? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7423184.stm #
