My Twittering For the Past 24 Hours

  • Sitting quite unmotivated in front of the computer with a long todo list. Dealing with Qwest is #1 on the list. No wonder I’m not motivated! (17-Nov-08 09:57 am)
  • sidx001 says: @rolandksmith ToDo lists should be illegal on Mondays! it’s bad enough to start the work week let alone with a list! (17-Nov-08 09:59 am)
  • Being on hold with Qwest is excruciatingly painful. Advertisement after advertisement, repeat. (no rinse!). Shut up already! (17-Nov-08 10:14 am)
  • What to do with an (unlocked) Treo 650? Works well, but replaced with an iPhone. (17-Nov-08 10:31 am)
  • Getting ready to shut down last Linux server here at home. Have a Mac mini that’ll take over those duties. (17-Nov-08 11:01 am)
  • Installed first Linux server Oct 12, 1996. De-installing last Linux Server Nov 17, 2008. Services now provided from the cloud. (17-Nov-08 11:04 am)
  • Qwest downgrading my DSL to standard home service on Nov 20, reducing my phone bill by $120 a month. Economics and service levels improving. (17-Nov-08 11:07 am)
  • So, why do posts starting with the word “tips” just wander off into the ether? Are there other words with similar behavior? (17-Nov-08 11:36 am)
  • @RyanAmos I’ve followed you back … for a while. Last tweet was in April? (17-Nov-08 11:41 am)
  • @sidx001 Looking is good…. (17-Nov-08 02:31 pm)
