Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-26

  • lol, a very good take on AntennaGate by the Doghouse Comic: http://bit.ly/dk0XlL #
  • Just signed up for a Micro SIM from Optus, bring on the new iPhone! #
  • @casseross Less apps and the same death grip problem? Bah I say! :p http://bit.ly/bUX62Y #
  • @CritHitRadio Same comment: Less apps and the same death grip problem? Bah I say! :p http://bit.ly/bUX62Y #
  • @CritHitRadio However yay for using Adium for Twitter! +1 bonus points! #
  • Oh good, Microsoft Communicator triggers the nVidia graphics card in the MBP, dropping my battery life from 7 hours to 3. #
  • Hmm, apparently the mobile speed cameras are only operating along the Great Western Highway and Gilmour St in Bathurst. Well that's boring! #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-18

  • New MacBook Pro arrived! Woooooooooooo! #
  • @Cyntech I wouldn't be to jealous: download updates, installing apps, and transferring data is boring! in reply to Cyntech #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-12

  • @parisba The answer is yes. Unfortunately. http://bit.ly/d0GdX3 in reply to parisba #
  • Mac Pro cleanup and reinstall complete! Now to update and install apps! #
  • Woo! SparkLabs finally has a twitter account! Make sure you follow it to see what we are developing! @spark_labs #
  • Go the Dutch! #ned #
  • Whoa, my server at CSU just went down: ran out of free space. Turns out it had over 40GB in log files! #
  • Ordered 2 MBPs using ADC discount: 1 for dev, 1 for test. Last week: was told discount would apply for both. So ordered. Now: it doesn't. #
  • The new "popular" Apple is beginning to bug me. The App Store process, and today's experience, makes me think it has gone to their heads! #
  • @Cyntech I cancelled the 2nd one after getting a call from them today. It just annoys me that when I asked they said it would be fine! #
  • @Cyntech Maybe I'm just in a bad mood from writing support documentation all day! #
  • Mobile speed cameras in NSW start operating July 19! Warnings will be issued for the first month, then the fines start. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-04

  • Huzzah, new Top Gear! And new Entourage only a couple of hours away! #
  • There are still patches of frost in my backyard. At 3:15pm. Bathurst: the new south pole. #
  • On the train heading to Sydney. Fun? #
  • @CritHitRadio Strong agreement in reply to CritHitRadio #
  • @Cyntech My brother has an interview, wanted me to tag along, and I don't mind browsing the IT shops :) in reply to Cyntech #
  • @Cyntech Haha, I managed to. Only as I know they don't have any new iPhones to play with yet! #
  • Got to love the Netherlands! #ned Who knows, they might even win it! #
  • @parisba Yes. More disappointed that the epis so far aren't as good as the old ones though! in reply to parisba #
  • Terrible, terrible reffing. #
  • Wtf!?! OS X just crashed, and I mean a kernel panic level crash! With all the latest updates! And now I have no display after a reboot! #
  • Turns out the fan on the graphics card died, causing it to overheat. I've got it going again, for now… #
  • @Cyntech Ugh, well if you need any first hand recounts of the crap decisions just let me know! in reply to Cyntech #
  • New MacBook Pro ordered with my ADC discount (before it runs out)! I'm excited! #
  • @casseross Don't be jealous… of my ever increasing debt! in reply to casseross #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-06-27

  • iOS 4 installed! My poor old 3G seems to be running it ok! Now to jailbreak to see how it handles "multitasking" and custom backgrounds! #
  • I just managed to force restore from an old backup! However it is going to take AGES. I think the iPhone 4G will be out before it finishes! #
  • @Cyntech It kept failing when trying to backup as part of the upgrade process (I tried 3 times). No clue why, in the end I just gave up. #
  • @Cyntech If the restore goes ok I'll be running iOS4 without losing anything (restoring doesn't force back to 3.1). Otherwise a fresh start! #
  • @markbate It will still allow you to update from your old backup post iOS4 install, so you shouldn't lose anything :) #
  • WOW. Just enabled the custom desktop background on my 3G using redsn0w… it slows down a remarkable amount! Time to turn it back off! #
  • @Cyntech Tell me about it! #
  • Django = awesome. That is all. #
  • @markbate Because it can fly? :p #
  • New Futurama!!! #
  • @parisba If someone happens to fly to your location, stalk you, and steal your iPhone 4 at the most opportune moment, it's probably me! #
  • Now that Australia are out, it's backup team time! Go The Netherlands! #NED #
  • The question is, do I like the Labor party more or less now? #
  • Setting a CDN with Amazon CloudFront. Hopefully this eases the load on my poor web server! It gets DoS'ed every time an update is released! #
  • @chrisjrn Haha, indeed. However I still wish Internet Censorship would go away some how! #
  • @Cyntech Haha, I was much the same way until last year. Internet censorship, the NBN, and actually having to pay tax changed my mind :p #
  • Optus finally have an iPhone 4 page up! About time! https://www.optus.com.au/iphoneinfo #
  • Amazon's CloudFront is good, but coverage could be better (few points in Europe, 0 in Aus). Now also trying out RackSpace's CDN offering. #
  • WHOA! RackSpace CouldFiles just smoked Amazon CloudFront from CSU's network. 8.83 MB/s vs 487.70 KB/s! #
  • @markbate Look who's Mr Popular! :p in reply to markbate #
  • @sebnow Huzzah for Futurama! That said, the first epi was trippy. The second one was classic Futurama though :) in reply to sebnow #
  • I've just spent most of the day gardening… I feel dirty. Both literally and metaphorically! #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-06-20

  • @Cyntech Go Go Backup team! in reply to Cyntech #
  • Good night to wake up early due to a cold/flu: new Mac mini AND true 3D from the Nintendo 3DS! Both look awesome! Let me find my wallet! #
  • Wow, the WWDC 2010 videos are available already, and even to us normal plebs who didn't attend (for free)! Huzzah! #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-05-10

  • Just had my first match of SC2. Victory! Game seems very nice! #
  • @spudless It's yours if you want it. Just let me know. #
  • @Spudless And sent! :) #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-05-03

  • Starcraft 2 Collectors Edition pre-ordered from Amazon! Cheaper than from EB, and also get a beta key via email. Yay! #
  • No ADC awards for Mac apps!?! Why does it feel like the Mac is getting deprecated? #
  • @chrisjrn *sniff*. I'm all for mobile computers coming in, but until iPhone OS allows the same control as Mac OS I'm not going to be happy! #
  • @casseross You're not! You're going to install the SC2 beta and play games with the rest of us! #
  • @casseross A better question: does Joel's addiction to SC2 make him Korean? #
  • Amazon gave me two Starcraft 2 beta keys instead of one? Well I guess I can't complain about that! #
