• Glad to see that Facebook users are much more interested in peace than in war. http://tinyurl.com/6dpjje #
• @gregoryheller Even if they don’t think of "peace" the way I do, it’s positive linguistically/cognitively. #
• @juliakm I’ve used OpenOffice (actually NeoOffice) to access DOC, XLS, & PPT files without translation. Is this some special kind of file? #
• @juliakm Oh. Well then I dunno. F-ing Microsoft. #
• I’m sorry, but I don’t think having a dozen windows or tabs open at once is too much to ask of my browser. #Firefox disagrees. #
• "Welcome to Facebook Chat" WTF!?!? Do not want. #
• @Hillsborough Another day, another guess: Margaret & Queen? #
• Supreme court rejects legal challenge to lethal injection. Boo. #
• @tbeckett No, it’s not supposed to be painful. That’s considered "inhumane." It is supposed to be a deterrent, but it’s not that either. #
• @jreesnc If you read OP, you’d know that you don’t have to be affiliated to vote in the primary http://tinyurl.com/59grv8 #
• @blogdiva Are you seriously unaware of the Cult of Getting Things Done? I practivc my own version, aka GSD. (I get shit done.) #
• This is really cool: http://tinyurl.com/5vmueq Thanks for the link @webb! #
• @blogdiva thanks. http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/ is really neat, if badly named. #
• block barackobama4 #
• @tarheelcoxn I <3 Amarok! WIsh they made it for Mac. One day… #
• @pearlbear I only usa Amarok on my #Eee so far, so no. I buy my DRM-free MP3s from Amazon. Do you recommend Magnatune? #
• Does anyone use Crabgrass for groupware/projects? (eg: http://we.riseup.net) I want to, but it seems pretty buggy. #
• @kanter Thanks! http://grouptweet.com/ is just what #Twitter needed! (Along with http://quotably.com.) #
• OK, I’ve been left with no choice. Let the bad-mouthing of http://monolithmc.com begin. more to come… #mythtv #
• To clarify: #MythTV is awesome. MonolithmC is NOT awesome. Took our money, sent defective box, won’t replace, minimal support, no refund. #
• @abbyladybug Good luck with the surgery tomorrow. I’m sure you’ll feel better after it heals! #
• Just ate a Syrian candy bar named Ruby. Like Kit Kat but with my name on it. ‘Twas good. http://speedtrading.org/ruby.html #
• Gonna geek out on Drupal Views tonight and maybe watch the debate if I get enough done. #

• How is it I can go to bed and my web site is working, but when I wake up it’s totally broken? I’m back to the dread "User account 3" error. #
• Something about roles or permission is totally borked. Any drupal pros out there have a clue? http://orangepolitics.org #
• @lishevita I think if you look at http://orangepolitics.org, you’ll see the problem. #
• @ahynes1 The problem is on almost every page, not just the front. Even admin pages go to "User account 3." #
• @martin_kelley Congrats on your O’Reilly article! It looks really interetsing. For others: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514006 #
• @arsepoetica Don’t worry, he’s just listening to more Talking Heads. I’m going to start tweeting B-52’s lyrics if he doesn’t stop. #
• Thanks to @vauxia and the crew at AdvatangeLabs for bringing OrangePolitics.org back to life! #
• Thanks, @BetsyMuse. It’s fixed, but I still don’t know what was wrong. #
• @tbeckett This ain’t no fooling around! #
• @webb Most valuable activity at #net2 is getting to meet the other people there. I suggest small group discussions. #
• @abbyladybug Sounds like a good time for a Lord of Rings marathon. Let me know if you want to borrow DVDs. #
• @FORpeace asks "Anyone else’s parents active in the civil rights movement?" Mine weren’t, but my grandma was! #
• Trying real hard to #GSDby5 so I can go out with @dbarger & @arsepoetica, but it’s an uphill battle… #
• You wouldn’t think Twitter could *increase* mindfulness. But maybe… http://innertwitter.com #
• @dbarger OMG, it’s like someone made that pastry just fer you! The cute little chef "Eddie" is a nice touch. #
• @rosevines I vote for Wordpress because it’s opens ource and the community of users & developers it seems larger and more supportive. #
• More proof that the Democratic primary battle is good for democracy (& good for NC): http://tinyurl.com/6mtsya (via @nprnewsblog) #
• @dweinberger Send my love to Doc. Glad to hear he’s doing better. #
• @juliakm it depends on what the NP wants to do, but there are many uses. Check out change.org app, causes app, pages w/ events, photos, etc #
• Ha! "Unmarried women are to progressives what evangelicals were to conservatives in 2004." http://rubyurl.com/mEPn #
• @fmedlin Good eye! You should tell @nprnewsblog. #
• @gregoryheller I think there are lots of tax resisting events today. Many are small local vigils. #

• @Hillsborough Wild guess: Burlington? (Trivia by Twitter, great idea!) #
• Checking out ZOHO Projects. #
• Updating NeoOffice on my Mac. Why does anyone use MS Office when this superior software is available for free? #
• Avatars respond to Jon Stewart’s teasing: http://tinyurl.com/6c5yy7 (I didn’t help, but my work is in some of the shots.) #
• @dbarger Gosh, you mean stale grease isn’t good for you? Whoudathunkit! #

• Finally sitting down to fix the @%$!^&%!@^ #MythTV. #
• Debating whether to explain to Company X that leaving me an unhappy customer may be detrimental to their 100%-online small business. #
• OK, I think I need the #Ubuntu for Idiots Guide. I just want to reset this whole thing to square one. Is there an easy command for that? #
• @dcm I’m trying to reinstall but I feel like the residual garbage (that I screwed up) is not going away. #
• @Katrinskaya http://doodle.ch is the meeting scheduler of choice thee days. It’s very simple, and works nicely. #
• Oooh, rememberthemilk.com’s Gmail interface just got better. When did that happen? Thanks @RTM! #
• Sending "have we met?’ msgs to a bunch of friend requesters on Facebook. If you don’t even look familiar, then we are not "friends," m’kay? #
• @dbarger & @dcm me too, except for the futból. #
• Traction’s "Electile Dysfunction" show is really neat. All kinds of music/drama/happenings. Not too late to come! 410 Geer, Durham. #
• Loving this band/invention called "Invisible." They’ve got a big wheel w/pegs controling all manner of flaps, drums, & doodads in time. #
• @BrianR says it’s an "analog sequncer." I say "OK." Also got a theremin and a bunch of other digital noisemakers. #

• oops, forgot the link: http://tinyurl.com/5a8rwe #
• Funny, b/c I’ve been live blogging tonight as well. http://tinyurl.com/5lazwa #
• Laughing and feeling nostalgic with videos from the original 1986 Comic Relief (I lived in England in the 80s). I had this on cassette. #
• Um wow. "Disney presents: The story on Menstruation." This is not a joke. http://www.devilducky.com/media/43631/ #

• Info from @Katrinskaya: See http://www.olympictorchsf.com/ and follow @sftorch for updates (hopefully). #

• @msfour Well, assuming I had no friends to leave, lots of money, & didn’t care abt weather… #
• @msfour New Orleans, London, Brooklyn, Minneapolis, Austin, Vancouver, Portland, somewhere in Mexico… #
• Social media tipping point: there is so much micro-coverage of the SF protests that the media will have less leeway to get it wrong. #
• @msfour as I do care about weather I choose to live here in NC. #
• @gregoryheller See @sftorch to start with. #
• O crap. I got nothing done on this dang budget today and it’s not going away… #notGSD #
