@Britt5091 Very practical observation! ;-)
I think this has been mentioned earlier, but… http://t.co/ZuOsEhOL
Curious: (Astro A40 + iPod Classic) > (Astro A40 + iPad) #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
@sarahdope If ever we need the svcs of a hooker killer, we now know whom to call… #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
@Veronica Tweet silence in November, then?
@NicoleLapin The worldwide biz model of computer/video gaming with social media and CloudWeb 3.0?
@NicoleLapin Fun, exciting, memorable in a good way… shouldn’t those be the desired qualities for a wedding? #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
@colettebennett I need to get the achievement: Left Work For Looooong Weekend…
Treyarch Pushing the double XP buttton right… NOW. Nuketown 24/7 is back by popular demand.
@majornelson Or just a mere #DoughnutFriday !
@colettebennett @sixokay Configuration or change manager? Or Community manager? #TooMuchSoftwareDevOnTheMind
@sarahdope Just realized I’m doing that now… :-/
@Britt5091 Bwahahahahaha! Now where’s that tie? (wait 6 hrs… you’ll see)
KentBeck RT @davetron5000: In random dev discussion: “Java is a DSL for converting large XML files into Stack Traces”
Yessir, #RedDeadRedemption has come through with the win… 20,000 GS reached, courtesy of “The Gunslinger” achievement. :-)
Will #RedDeadRedemption comes to my rescue for those 5 GS?
@gogoroflcopter Argh… need 5 GS to hit 20 k… :-/
@sarahdope bwahahahahahahaha! keep ‘em coming!
CaliLewis This tattoo, read by an iPhone, could allow diabetics to track glucose levels without needles. http://t.co/39yGUru9
@_MeaganMarie_ Yeah, trying to 20,000 GS, but I’m at 19,985 … so it may be easier for me, except I may inadvertently trigger 20 or 25 GS…
@Britt5091 Go ahead, fire it up! Play it! Plaaaaaaaaaay it! #YesIAmEnablingYou
@Britt5091 Good thing I wasn’t following you, or else I’d have gotten your wrath, too! BTW, Rage is a pretty-looking game. ;-)
@feliciaday Ugh, Dave Winer would be spinning in his grave over that… oh, wait, he’s not dead yet… Netscape, where art thou when we need ya?
@ryan It’s always coffee time!
@gogoroflcopter Geez, where do you find all these kewt accessories & gadgets? :-)
@colettebennett Actually, you may actually need ferrets. At least two of them. Preferably three. Or better yet, four.
brit This laser keyboard for iPad/iPhone is amazing (and cheap!). Best gadget for the holidays, hands down: http://t.co/zFBXPzLy
@Veronica Too much effort spent on mem alloc?
@neilhimself At least you’ve got us via #Twitter ! :-)
@colettebennett Sure, you may have one!
@feliciaday Whoa, muffin top addict & muffin stump neglecter! Where’s Neuman when you need him? #Seinfeld
Check out #xboxLIVErewards for a chance to win MS Points & more! http://t.co/6dSsFeKc Rules: http://t.co/GNYnzdfh @XboxLIVErewards
@Veronica It’s on a need-to-know basis… #YouDontNeedToKnow
@Britt5091 Yeah, probably… Need to find a gaggle of zombie bashers who like to glom together for L4D+L4D2+DeadIsland+CoDZombies.
@brit But this may mean that to really maximize the experience, the Date may have to be pushed out for a few years… :-/
@brit The inevitability of bridal gear daily deals has arrived. And about time, too.
@Veronica Yeah, had to turn it off on the iPads and iPod touches to preserve battery life.
@colettebennett Okay, that was an awkward statement… but you get the gist?
@colettebennett At least you didn’t forget to register AND ordered new gear (like me) :’(
@colettebennett Didja place your custom tags order yet? Forgot to mention that discount-y thingy if you registered your gear…
@CaliLewis Sorry to hear that. If you were at Dulles, we could’ve sent you a shuttle or cab so you could hang out on campus… #AOL
@bflay Hungry for it now…
@gogoroflcopter Are they gonna find the little girl? It’s been a couple of eps already…
@Veronica Wow, like the beginning of a zombie outbreak! #WalkingDead
@CaliLewis Yep. And the Easy Buttons, too. :-)
@_MeaganMarie_ Bwahahahahaha! Does your cat have a snuggie, too?
@colettebennett Have you tried some sobakawa style pillows yet?
@sarahdope I think you’ve attained the Sushi Bar Regular achievement. +50 GS. #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
@majornelson Umm… EVERYDAY is a good day to work on Gamerscore. #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
@Britt5091 Argh… You need to get a helmetcam or a forehead-cam to record these encounters! You’ll be famous!
@neilhimself Must’ve been a shock to the Sumerians hangin’ around before Creation, then, partying after harvest. #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
@colettebennett What treat do you get if THREE rooms are cleaned?
@lauralollipop @majornelson But we still like him. He’s a character. You should vote him in as a Character of the Month…
@brit Hmm… maybe I could hire several chefs to cook for some devs… then we’ll refactor and improve the recipes… ;-)
@colettebennett Hal was wondering where his #TARDIS went…
@majornelson Wanna push into Capt in #HaloReach , and fire up #ArkhamCity , and squeeze some #ForzaMotorsport4 somehow…
@HaloWaypoint Banshee…
@crankycraig Seem to recall an industry voluntary reduction in corn syrup, sugar, and other sweeteners. And sweetener prices went up.
@majornelson Weird… not using the Arc Wireless kb? I think it’s great for use w/ the iPad (need the CCK) and the Xbox 360!
@ryan Oh, sorry— just got back from the apocalypse. Surprisingly quick ‘n short. #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
@thinkgeek Luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it-luv-it! It’s what’s for dinner!
@Britt5091 What’cha got packed in that burrito? And is it 2X or 3X deep fried?
@sarahdope Don’t you need to focus your hearing w/ the A40’s when you’re in #BlackOps w/ Ninja perk?
@sarahEmagee Bwahahahaha! Didn’t know you guys were at a TWC facility… I should’ve dropped by. Ah well…
@HaloWaypoint Hey, what happened to the LB and RB buttons?
@sarahEmagee It’s what’s for dinner!
@sarahEmagee Whaaaaaaaaa!?! How many did you eat? They look like fried dumplings. Did you get @CaliLewis to try them?
@brit Actually, just 1 circular blade, or 2 half-blades would be it…
@brit Why 2 blades? Shouldn’t it be 3.14159265… blades/tines? :-P
Once again, that turmoil with bringing #The40 back to, of course, 40 count.
@colettebennett Or you could stay up all night playing #HaloReach to try to wrap up the Challenges, & be magically refreshed by 9 am.
@HaloWaypoint Alas, no. #XboxMaintenance
I shudder at the effort of individually moving and copying files between #Xbox360 consoles so I can play different games on them.
@gogoroflcopter Uh… no UPS?!?
@sarahdope It’s like that feeling during solo Zombies when you’re revived w/o any perks and no pts… on Level 38.
@thinkgeek Buckyballs are back! Now it’s not just AOL tech anymore! :-) But no Schweddy Balls? http://t.co/cGwb1hq3
@sarahdope So if I heard that right, the Specialist pkg lets me unlock every perk if I kill enough and last long enough… Wow!
@kristenmassey Quite idyllic! Where is it?
@majornelson How about creating a brand-new approach to CM for widely disparate types of software across multiple platforms?
@CaliLewis @sarahEmagee Hey, are you guys gonna hang out together at the Fair? Need some pics of tasty bacon+chicken+bbq+chili type foods
@colettebennett Not sure about the “powering up” part, but now I’m mysteriously hungry again… #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
(w/r/t Firefight Matchmaking…) #HaloReach
Okay, is there a better way of getting the Energy Sword other than stealing from an Elite’s corpse? #HaloReach
@colettebennett And I just saw that they’re taking orders for #SaintsRow3 tagged sets… genki!
@colettebennett Yeah, for general music enjoyment, I don’t have the benefit of the MixAmp 5.8, which changes things a lot for me. :-/
@colettebennett Don’t forget to spec order Persona 4 custom tags! Would luv to see ‘em!
@colettebennett But they’re not as uncomfortable as the A-T’s for several hrs, right? I have trouble w/ the A-T’s after a few mins.
@colettebennett You need at least 1 pair of Astro A40’s so you can play games and listen to music comfortably… #AstroGaming
@Britt5091 Why so long? It’s not a huge d/l… #Justaminute
@Britt5091 Fathead wallsticky or figurine? ;-) #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
@sarahdope Because you’re omniscient.
@sarahEmagee There’s only 1?
@whitneyhess Me!
@sarahEmagee Vascular collateralization in the patellar/infrapatellar/post-patellar region w/ thrombic plaque. #ObviouslyNotObviousDx
@_MeaganMarie_ Not sure where the “evil” comes in… but you need a couple of heroic ferrets to keep your cat preoccupied.
@gogoroflcopter Mmmm… math… Not sure how it could be “bad”. It’s like nature: it just *is*… You could try Fortran, Lisp, or Matlab…
@sarahEmagee Didja finally get your fried chicken groove on? Triple deep fried chicken with thick sugar-maple-smoky bacon slabs… Yum!
@gogoroflcopter Music appreciation work? Not too shabby… But there are some nice Halo Reach challenges… ;-)
Er— okay, it’s crazy to see how tumultuous the 40 has been over the past few days! Sorry to the folks who are now formally Previous status.
@colettebennett Not often anymore… Mostly get plenty of retainer, ongoing, and short-best-effort contracts…
@brit “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”
Hmm, los Tres Amigos: http://t.co/VHic8Ixw
@Dichenlachman It means that if you share x4, you will enjoy x4.
One-One-Seven … 117 Xbox games played? Hmm… http://t.co/eYAamG8r #Halo #XboxLIVE #Xbox
@gogoroflcopter Yeah, that’s true… But w/ the pre-order, you essentially get both the Catwoman and Robin DLC’s today.
It’s kinda like when the Doctor rolls out a new K-9 from its crate… yep, it’s time to roll out a new 360 console from storage.
@gogoroflcopter Hmm… so the Catwoman DLC is unlocked w/ a single-use code… tricky-tricky…
#xboxLIVErewards lets Gold members see exclusive stats — join now! http://t.co/6dSsFeKc Rules: http://t.co/GNYnzdfh @XboxLIVErewards
@gogoroflcopter I don’t have to import previous savegames from #ArkhamAsylum , do I?
@majornelson Oh no, Larry! Did you inadvertently get us hapless twfollowers to flood the Aeroshots server?
@gogoroflcopter Hey, isn’t there a Catwoman DLC available today?
@Britt5091 Uck… just picked up Batman #ArkhamCity , but haven’t finished #Bayonetta or #ArkhamAsylum … :’(
@Veronica Sneaky-sneaky! Maybe you need to try #ArkhamCity instead…?
@sarahEmagee aw… boo…
@sarahEmagee How many are you getting?
@colettebennett Hmm… we used to call all-in-everything guys merely examples of the “Renaissance man” … Oh well…
@SaraUnderwood nope, Sara… does not count. :-P
@gogoroflcopter Argh! You beat me to it! And I still need to start Arkham Asylum! :’( What’s all the extra tchotchke?
Dear @Xbox : Please-please-please release the 7200+ RPM 2TB HDD, or at least 500GB SSD… Need more disk space!
@juliaroy Congrats on entering the Great Unknown! :-)
@JulietJeske Aw, wish I was there… sure it’ll be fun!
@Britt5091 Good thing there’s no Smell-o-vision version of the show! :-P #EwwYuckWhatsThatSmell
@gogoroflcopter Yeah-yeah-yeah, I know… but still… collecting is a messy biz. #IsCollectingSameAsHoardingOrObsession
@gogoroflcopter Wow! Your room is sooo neat… I mean, literally, NEAT! A lot of collectors I’ve met tend to be… more cluttery…
@colettebennett It happens. ‘Cause, y’know, it’s funny.
@Britt5091 Just a few more hours, and then… there ya go! #BrittHasGameInHerMouth
@sarahEmagee Luv how there actually *is* a place named like that! :-D
( If, at first, you don’t succeed, tweet some more… )
… ‘cause, y’know, that’s how we roll… our code, that is. #PolyglotDevelopment
… ‘cause, y’know, that’s how we roll… our code, that is. #http://t.co/zEMg6lk3
… Start grinding Java+Maven+Ivy+Ant, C, C#, C++, Lisp/Scheme, PHP, Perl, Ruby, Erlang, PL/I, served from same portal. #PolyglotDevelopment
Even have the frontend for the multiple CI servers available from the repo-portal .
… then I can add extra resources to a common portal for all Java/Maven users.
When creating a new Maven repository, like having the URL root serve as portal, w/ the repo-mgr as a subroot…
‘tis BAD about XBL user profile: I can’t be playing on 1 console while rearranging content on 2nd/3rd consoles as same user. :-( #DesignFail
@sarahEmagee Er— *was* using the Twitter Web page .. et al.
@sarahEmagee What using the Twitter Web page to sort tweeps out, but it was running kinda sluggishly, so I had a lot of clicking errors.
@sarahEmagee Whoa! Almost lost you to the Horde!
Argh! Trying to rearrange the ‘lists, but the Web Twitter UI is making it challenging… keep inadvertently unfollowing the wrong folks!
@Britt5091 @FozzyTheGamer Hmm… aren’t we still EDT?
@colettebennett You’re hard to decipher, tweet-wise, like a cat (unlike a ferret)… Then again, I wasn’t suggesting that you were upset…
@colettebennett SNL wouldn’t bother spoofing if it wasn’t culturally significant, right? Ne? Ne?
Oh no… really getting too many peeps in the #following list…
@_MeaganMarie_ Moments like that are definitely awesome! Congrats!
Oh boy… watch #WalkingDead or put in some #BlackOps or do laundry… #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
Hmm… now that #USANetwork is showing #QuantumOfSolace , I feel like picking up the game and playing it again…
@gogoroflcopter Ah, the simple pleasures! Good to know you’re easy to please! ;-)
@majornelson At least you have us to keep you company until you finally make it into the air! ;-)
@colettebennett Why? So many other interesting things… like the Mule Kick perk placed on the other #BlackOps maps…
Hmm… Sunday morning…
I keep thinking, @jimcramer would probably do well in #BlackOps CTF… but that’d mean he plays video games… :-/
@sandeepparikh Hilarious moment = #priceless
sandeepparikh Found @feliciaday wasted off two sips of mojito and holding a doll of herself http://t.co/Pvo8oIPx
@colettebennett eh?
@ItsYouTubeDude @petulant_badger Bwahahahahaha! ;-)
@stevetweeting You’re almost ready to prestige! Congrats! Prestige away!
Is the trio of Thompson, Mustang&Sally, and Wunderwaffe DG3JZ all that a zombie slayer in #BlackOps need? Or is it time to UPGRADE?
Ok, got the Der Riese groove back… But now that I have Mule Kick, Juggernog, Revive, And Speed Cola, do I need anything else? #BlackOps
@gogoroflcopter Oooh, that’s where my spare controllers went! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
oddfxck Dear Blackberry.
We are gathered here today to pay tribute to a failure of a mobile.
Sincerely, world. http://t.co/dFhFTVzZ
maddoghall Dennis Ritchie, Creator of the “C” language and co-xreator of Unix is dead at age 70…..all programmers owe him a moment of silence.
@gogoroflcopter Hard to believe you haven’t played it before… :-?
@Jessica_Chobot Bwahahahaha!
Ach… now that the Mule Kick perk is in… oh, Der Riese, how you vex me! What happened to the good ol’ WaW days? #BlackOps
@gogoroflcopter Ugh, where was I?!?
@JulietJeske Cool! Whatchagonnadothere?
@sarahEmagee Bwahahahahahaha! Need to explore that Mule Kick perk!
@JulietJeske Do you have a pic of it?
@JulietJeske Wow… that IS bizarre. Which Twitter client/app(s) do you use?
@JulietJeske Hmm… Depending on which Twitter client or app, it could just be the suggested people you MAY be interested in following… :-)
Gorillaz, as good music sampling while combating widespread Maven repo corruption? Hmm… #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
@thinkgeek Wow! I want one of those screwdrivers! Nay, I need one of those screwdrivers! #timeywimey
@sarahEmagee You are the Mayor of Everywhere you go! :-)
@colettebennett What’s “wrong” with “shall”? Or “shan’t”, for that matter? And really…? Fried chicken on Friday? #FreakyFriedChickenFriday
@CandaceBailey5 Well, it could be 1 of those SW moments: (Kev)- “Candy… I am your… father.” #duhduhduh
@JulietJeske How did that happen?!?
@RockstarGames Would love a free #GTA3 Anniversary T-shirt!
@colettebennett Here’s a solution: a ferret or two to chase you, and the cat, out of bed! ;-)
@CandaceBailey5 Ewww… Slime-covered oatmeal? #GrossButPossiblyTasty
Rise of the Safari Tabs on the iPad! Seems like just yesterday when I was extolling tabs on the GNN/Works Navigator… Remember that?
Uh-oh! Is it time to whittle down The 40 again? And where is that project plan for the Twitter archival monster? And HackerGamer?!? Hal…?
@Goosechecka @HaloWaypoint Hmm…
@ryan Wasn’t this in a MacUpdate bundle at some point? Hmm… Still heady over the SourceTree freebie!
@gogoroflcopter You encounter iPhone haters a lot?
@gogoroflcopter Okay, finally! Safari feels more like regular… like on the Macs. The Pocket Safari fits better on the iPod touch…
@gogoroflcopter Have you tried the Messages yet?
@gogoroflcopter Oh yeah, need to check out the Reminders app…
@gogoroflcopter … This is 1 of those WTF kind of days… bizarre widespread Maven repo connectivity problems…
@gogoroflcopter It’s not bad, but it isn’t as earthshattering for me… ;-) Then again, I haven’t explored everything yet…
@CaliLewis … Or you could just go back and tell ‘em that Steve said you could have a free beverage of your choosing… ;-)
@CaliLewis You could’ve taken it back and asked for a new one, or 1 of those free drink coupons!
Oh no! I have to turn on Location to use iMessage?!?
@gogoroflcopter Ok, iOS 5 is finally on! Now what?
@gogoroflcopter But I wouldn’t characterize these lots o’ things as “fun”, per se.
@gogoroflcopter Oh, how I wish I could…! Lots of things to do, way too many…
@gogoroflcopter You do all the fun stuff! I never get to…
@sarahEmagee Scary to think that I don’t have most of those featured tracks… :-/ #baffled
@HowardKurtz @ambermac Well… if you only need an E-mail mobile device, why not a Centro?
@gogoroflcopter Argh! Still waiting for my Macs to finish updating iTunes! #impatient
