twitter weekly updates for 2008-11-23

  • lethargic and tired today. you know it’s bad when an entire pot of coffee doesn’t come close to helping. #
  • the weather outside somewhat reflects today’s tone: foggy and stagnant. not feeling all that inspired or focused. #
  • versions mac subversion client comes out of beta and v1.0 is released! http://www.versionsapp.com/ #
  • wishing i didn’t have to sleep so i could acquire an additional 5-6 hours a day to do that which i never have time to do. #
  • convinced this red-tailed hawk that visits me frequently outside my window is now my personal protector and source of positive energy. #
  • if i unsubscribe from your persistently useless emails, that usually means i don’t want them any longer… not to keep sending them. #
  • loving cakephp to the point that it almost offsets the pain of using extjs. almost. #
  • OH: “i am a stationary snob. call me hating mother nature or the environment, but i can’t deal with recycled paper!” #
  • contemplating meeting @nmyra in austin this thursday for #ignition: http://ignition-austin.eventbrite.com/ #
  • kontain media blog goes live (alpha): http://www.kontain.com/. yet another impressive site by Fi: http://www.f-i.com/ #
  • @subimage it’s shocking and irritating how many ppl remain so unresourceful and fail to utilize google properly. in reply to subimage #
  • watching the fire alarm strobes going off in the building across the street where no lights are on. it’s my own personal disco at 545am. #
  • it’s colder in brownsville,tx than it is here in seattle this morning? wtf! there’s something terribly wrong and frustrating with that obs. #
  • @hwlee if brownsville is colder, i would hope that atlanta is colder else something has gone totally awry! in reply to hwlee #
  • reading through the news this morning is like reading pages from “the road”: things are grim, empty, dark, dreadful, even beyond economy. #
  • realizing gmail needs a fail whale. #
  • the day needs a fail whale. twitter down. gmail down. basecamp down. #
  • the internets are dying. of every site i’ve visited today, probably half have actually worked successfully. #
  • OH: “seriously, i will NOT pack my electric hand mixer, the TSA will kill me!” #
  • OH: “having to struggle to put your jeans on over your ass is a blessing…not something bad.” #
  • finger is cramping up from coding all morning long. maybe a midday gym visit will alleviate it? #
  • when you wake up at 4am, the day seems to go on forever. not really a bad thing actually. #
  • “code”blocked. damn! #
  • the desperation of the auto industry now pleading to americans for a loan is f*kin ridiculous. file bankruptcy already! #
  • wasting almost two days on a programming problem despite extensive googling is enough to make a person want to drive a pen in their eye. #
  • cakephp has become my new hero. #
  • Dynamic architecture – Photo: http://bkite.com/02tXY #
  • i didn’t move to seattle for the sunny, dry and mild rainy season like we’ve been having. enough! this is total crap! #
  • OH: “can you even see his thing anymore?!” #
  • @nmyra considering your other term for “vector graphics” was “vector graphics”, your not trying hard enough. in reply to nmyra #
  • purchased versions.app with the beanstalk account discount. now to move repositories from local to remote servers for collaboration. #
  • trying to catch up on my google reader feeds which continue to backup exponentially. #
  • @nmyra lol i’m listening to npr while reading rss articles. being a pro at multitasking is the only way to actually get anything done. in reply to nmyra #
  • playing email and correspondence catch up this morning before i really have to do something that requires me to be fully awake. def not yet. #
  • get the feeling it’s going to be a moan cone kind of morning, or maybe even day for that matter. moooooaaaaannn! #
  • loving non-descriptive error messages. simply stating that “an error occurred” is not obvious and so extremely helpful to the cause. #
  • don’t know about you, but the first thing that comes to mind when something doesn’t work is “oh, an error occurred!”. maybe i can things? #
  • retooling has begun. #
  • so somewhere out there is another guy named “nicholas shipe”, which is eerily close to mine… missing one letter. the odds? #
  • ignition austin #sd2020 live via ustream: http://tr.im/1c1m #
  • great architecture + design in ludwigsberg, germany: http://tr.im/1c20 and http://tr.im/1c28 #
  • during architecture school, you evolve into a photographer who avoids ppl in your photos, but yet you’re designing spaces for ppl. ironic? #
  • finally taking the time to do some portfolio work this morning, considering it hasn’t been updated since i graduated college in 2006. #
  • thinking it’s a sign to clean house when your desktop icons span across two large monitors. sigh. #
  • Instant gratification is one of the rarest, yet most worthwhile, pleasures in life. #
  • realizing that owls have begun to saturate my life, and without even trying. #
  • photoshop trying to sneak color profiles into images, thus distorting the true colors of the graphic, is driving me insane! #
  • photoshop crash again = FAIL! #
  • damn you photoshop! #
  • coffee reload. long night in store. #
  • completely white text against a solid black background on a web page containing a lot of text to read = FAIL! ow…those are my retinas! #
  • design > javascript > css > php > html > actionscript > ruby. repeat + shuffle. no wonder i’m so damn ADD! #
  • oh, and of course don’t forget the backend… csv > xml > json > mysql. #
  • doin’ the whole iphone 2.2 thing. #
  • wish i had a spare $400 laying around b/c this is awesome! https://www.23andme.com/ #
  • there is no escaping the owls. they’re everywhere! #
  • it’s frustrating when you have to close your blinds b/c the sun is too bright and annoying in seattle of all places. rainy season? hah! #
  • radiohead is leading me into the evening. #
  • @subimage considering some of clients’ requests, it wouldn’t surprise me if it were real. in reply to subimage #
