@oxo42 (a) learn to spell 'fascist'. (b) you live in a house made of glass Windows, stone-thrower.
Man, it must have been so awesome to be a musician in the late 90s and realise that "hole" rhymed with "soul".
Breaking news: workplace relationships descend to new levels of awkwardness as help is requested "if you have a sex"
Google: connecting you to people with the same unresolved issues as yourself since 1996.
Yes, that's it! That's the exact error I'm getting, Google! I see you found tons of people with that error! No actual *solutions*, though?
Haha you guys, I dreamed that I actually tweeted publicly about a really embarrassing nerdy dream that I had. Man, my wacky subconscious.
I actually dreamed that I had #NewTwitter. This was an honest-to-goodness part of my dream last night. Jeez.
Three types of cake at work for September birthdays. I think I just lost vision in my right eye.
My findings: Cape Town pays its hardest workers less than it spends on coffee. Liberté, égalité, fraternité.
Yeah, I'm gathering that These Days we're saying "domestic worker" (or "domestic goddess" in some cases). Sorry 'bout that...
Hey, Cape Town - what do we pay a maid per day to clean the house?
I'm embarrassed by my second- and third-degree re-tweeters.
Worth it just for the links at the bottom: http://is.gd/fwltW
(Although Arrested Development has made me unable to talk about the author without raising both fists in the air. STEVE TOLTZ.)
I have a renewed love for the book "A Fraction of the Whole" (by Steve Toltz) as of its use of the pluralization "culs-de-sac".
Good Advice For The Web: never trust a checkbox that says "Don't post my results to twitter". Grr.
Right foot 2 stomps, left foot 2 stomps! Slide to the left, slide to the right! Criscross criscross, cha cha real smooth! http://is.gd/fvBpu
Two separate waitrons have patted me sympathetically on the shoulder, in unrelated conversations. WHAT?
Btw, turns out: you can't play Pooh-sticks with stones. I want my afternoon back.
@allankent my tweet apparently made people laugh. Your tweet did nothing but tell me that my tweet was useless. Um. Thanks?
I just watched a video of four midgets in a relay race against a camel. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, HUMANITY?
@Favstar: RT-checking still seems a bit iffy, looking at http://favstar.fm/users/... and its equiv on twitter.com...
@ingridsinclair And because you just said 'tweeps', you move into the "oh well, that's one less of them" category...
@xenijardin: and you know that the Ambassador Of Zef is the same suburban middle class white boy who sang this? http://is.gd/foHXS
Does @xenijardin realise that every time she posts about Die Antwoord, she's getting punk'd in Afrikaans? http://is.gd/foFgG
The Cape Town municipality should rename the Noon Gun. I'm thinking something like "the Noon Pant-Wettingly Terrifyingly Loud Explosion".
Your *mother* has had her total request limit exceeded. OH NO WAIT SHE HASN'T.
I'm guessing the pause in between loops of your on-hold music is while you rewind the tape?
Nothing soothes me like the gentle mandolin in your on-hold music, interspersed with your assurances of my importance.
Oh, THAT wet cement.
8,024 more tweets since you started searching. Not quite as viral as that video with that guy doing that thing, but noble effort!
The moral of the story, folks, is that you can't play with the sourcecode of a virus without getting infected repeatedly. Stupid mouseover.
Happy graph: http://is.gd/fl6Rl :)
Really sad graph (press play): http://bit.ly/8XKThM :(
Wait you guys there's more! A SourceForge.net newsletter! Man, so cute! Is it retro-site Tuesday? Or did I wake up in 2002?
Orkut friend suggestions. That's adorable. Like when they deliver the phone book.
WombatSam Lots of Hipster hate out there today. I can even hear it over the synth from my friend's electro-folk band playing on my iPad.
okgo Here it is, the brand spankin' new video for 'White Knuckles'. Enjoy! http://bit.ly/wkellen
Just did the equivalent of yelling "FREEBIRD" at my iTunes...
One of these is not like the others. http://twitpic.com/2qbpkv
This week began with me pouring my coffee into my juice cup. I need more datapoints to calculate its trajectory, though.
@darb are you referring to Tax, where we all give a little bit back to society, so that the money can be used to improve life for everyone?
And, of course, Mike and the Mechanics. Of course.
It feels like someone follows me from cafe to deli to restaurant, slipping a Best Of The 80s CD to the managers. Now playing: Foreigner.
Picked a blue one.
Paralysed, frozen with the impossibility of trying to choose one of seven identical vacuum cleaner brands. This is not my field.
@mandyjwatson Just... no.
Fact: the only routine in my entire life is the juice and double latte I have when I arrive at work at 11am. http://is.gd/feLi0
No, YOU re-enter your password.
@graulund: TweetNest is great. I'd love to see replies included, and 'favorites' include other people's tweets that I starred, not just mine
Guys, I totally just sent a thing via the Fax! What do I get? Promotion? Or forced retirement?
"Ten" is definitely the best album. And "Pearl Jam" is definitely the best way to show one's age.
This #AfrihostRelaunch should be amusing, since their DNS is round-robin'ing to localhost (and http://bit.ly/d8Yeeq to make this official)
The worst part about being followed by co-workers on Twitter is that they see you tweet about them and ask you who you were talking about.
Help make the farce less farcical! http://bit.ly/a3LEWR
Having difficulty typing this tweet because the glorious Cape Town sunshine is causing screen-glare. A good problem to have, indeed.
@joeschmitt tweets "who would like to collaborate with me on @BearsPR?", starts it, retweets his own stuff a while, then pimps it? Unfollow.
One line from IMDB.com made my night: aka "O megalos Lebowski" - Greece
My meal choices at Indian restaurants are always based on the cute way they're described. "ROGAN JHOSH an energetic curry the name depicts".
This clown @danielrayong is going to make a lot of people very happy in 2 days.
You look like the sort of person who likes using the hair-dryer while taking a bath.
Current status: Richard III, Act 1, Scene 1, line 1

Now reading: critiques of the Klingon interchange between two main characters in Chuck, season 1, episode 10. Stay nerdy, Internet.
@dotb: If you install the .mpkg or .pkg or use the .dmg, you can use OS X's built-in package management: `pkgutil --help`
@dotb: seen http://dev.mysql.com/dow... and http://www.mamp.info/en/... ?
@dotb: we don't do that. We absolutely do not. Compiling from source is not something we do. That's why. (You're doing it wrong.)
Found myself automatically washing the dishes in descending order of size. I have a really bad case of CDO.
Sometimes, when I run out of 30Rock episodes, I like to sit on my leg till it goes numb and then see if I can walk right across the room!
@ripienaar: let a guy give his punchline before you nail him on his set up!
(It's fun to tweet about yourself from the point of view of the people who live next door to you.)
Hah, sounds like my loser neighbour is spending his evening by himself, watching 30 Rock and eating a microwave dinner, again.
Twitter confused me with its "no white after Labor Day" tweets, so I looked it up, and finally got a definitive answer: Americans are crazy.
@1rene: I'm sorry, have we met? And you are...? (Sentence is finished: "one of the only people to comment sensibly on http://is.gd/eY1YZ")
When you say "twitter buzz on this article", you mean "list of people retweeting the URL of this article with vacuous concurrence", right?
@matthewbuckland: "Facebook [...] where quality is policed". You've... you've looked at Facebook, right?
Seriuslllly,to hel wiiiiiiiit his wirless kyboard
QA? Testing? What's that? http://www.iol.co.za/ind...
Warning signs: your Product Manager shouts "DO IT LIVE!" and then starts singing a hybrid of Aerosmith and Bon Jovi.
I think @TheMime's material has gone really down-hill since he sold out.
It's so cute watching developers playing at "Product and User Experience". Teeeell me what oo want to be when you gwow up! *pinch cheek*
You say "useless bachelor", I say "guy who *likes* showering in the dark, and would buy new lightbulbs if he didn't". So there. Shut up.
Don't judge me, gym desk attendant. If I was only in there for twenty minutes, it's because I have a very important ... pub ... to get to...
Well gawrsh, and a Happy Birthday to @yodelmachine! You don't look a day over the age you didn't look a day over last year.
Guys, the chicken ones aren't that great, okay? Just FYI. For next time. Cool.
I can cook a sixth of a pack of two-minute-noodles in 20 seconds flat.
I've finally managed to train my Priority Inbox to mark my Daily Dilbert Comic as Important, and flag everything else as junk.
Hey look! The guy that wrote most of the songs that Queen covered is on twitter! #followfriday @kleptones
Gmail ads next to a party invitation email: China Haemorrhoid Stapler, Bathroom Hygiene, Japanese Toilet Seat. Gonna be a hell of a party.
@StephanieBamBam: Year-month-day, or day-month-year, all good. Month-day-year, whut?
@StephanieBamBam: I know about Beverly Hills 90210 (or "Ninety Two Ten" as they called it in Zimbabwe). But today is 2010-09-02, or 2/9/10.
Ohhh, I just worked it out. You Americans are talking about 90210 today because you write your dates in a stupid nonsensical order. Gotcha.
The South African workers unions are kind of taking "strike while the iron's hot" the wrong way.
"This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version." That's not what Steeeeeve saaaiiiid...
@IvoVegter: that's Tweetdeck's fault. Twitter doesn't know what app you use, or if/when it's updated. Stop whining.
@IvoVegter: and what would you have done differently if you'd had the email a week ago? Tweet angrily about it?
@avesse: why should ordinary users care about something that only developers and app-writers need to deal with (and were warned about)?
@avesse, @IvoVegter: @twitter gave everybody plenty of warning: http://is.gd/eRgHR - your failure to read is not their failure to notify.
I just tried to wipe what turned out to be a site's background image off my monitor. Possibly time for some more coffee.
I got spam to the address I created in order to sign up to the Direct Marketing Association of South Africa in order to opt-out of spam.
Sod off, trendy, happy, chatty smokers outside the restaurant. I'm trying to sulk out here with my wine in peace.
The thing about gin is, good gin is good, but bad gin is BAD. That's the thing about gin.
I wonder if I can get @twitterific to auto-reply to me with that message? They look like they're having fun, poor dears.
Oh yeah? Well, MY startup will have toilet-paper dispensing iPads in every stall.
That's it. I'm revoking my own English license. One cannot pluralize "nemesis" and get away with it.
Google's priorities for my inbox are substantially different to my own.
