Thoughts twittered over the week [2009-03-01]

5 comments

Ordered chronologically.

  • The Wonder Woman STV is out, and I might watch it. DC animated movies haven’t been too bad lately. #
  • Watched “21″ (2008). Nice movie, though I was able to predict the ending accurately. [They didn't show the ring-punch bruise on Ben] #
  • Next movie would probably be “Remember The Titans” (2000). #
  • Trying to tag my Bach album right. Classical titles are so strange. #
  • Haha, Urban Terror’s Abbey map actually has Bach as its music track! It’s part of the Toccata & Fugue in D Minor track. #
  • Halo Wars is out for XBOX 360. I still haven’t played Halo 3. It isn’t out for PC yet. Would it be or not is a different issue though. #
  • I gave in my name for the UT event at CTS’s TransITion 2009. Its on March 7th. #
  • Got to admit am addicted to Lost, no matter how much I hate it cause of Locke being killed. #
  • Flipped through my age old Java reference book after almost a year; This time with a purpose. #
  • Created my custom GMail theme. I love greens, so there’s a lot of that in it as of now. #
  • Almost every other day my dinner is restaurant food, and now nothing is delicious to my tongue. #
  • I play metal when someone is annoying me by having a loud, redundant phone conversation. #
  • Must.. code.. something.. Lost for too many days! #
  • I didn’t see 11:37 for two days consecutive. That’s good news, I think. #
  • Pretty accurate view of Earth from near-space in a few decades: http://is.gd/kfG3 #
  • College’s quiz was a total FAIL. We answered only 10/25 right. #
  • I just adore Coffy Bite! I gulp down 15 of them in a single sitting always. #
  • Parry’s Coffy Bite sounded better than Lotte, as it is now. #
  • I wonder who’s more angrier usually, a bald guy or a person who’s going bald? #
  • Punisher: War Zone must be awesome, have to watch it. #
  • POSIX threads aren’t so bad, but its just my first few tries with it. #
  • Lol, so darn true – “If you watch Point Break backwards, you’ll see its about some surfer dudes re-capitalizing banks with guns.” #
  • “XYZ has sent you an ABC.” I hate these kind of emails. Why people sign up on such stupid new social websites, I’ll never understand. #
  • Finally putting my Google Calendar to some use. #
  • Some bands are made just for that one unique track. It completes their purpose, and they’re known eternally; no matter how they fare after. #
  • Am playing some of my music in a loop, again. #
  • Shared memory concept between processes is neat, and ugly. #
  • ncurses is very difficult for me. I’ve followed those manuals over 5 times in 2 months and am not even half way to an ncmpc-interface clone. #
  • I need a large cup of coffee before reading these 900 lines of ncmpc’s ncurses code and deriving sense out of it. #
  • You can catch yourself leaving a channel in irssi. Trick is to /wc and /j back in quickly. IRC Time Travel is real, now. You’d need some lag too. #
  • Letting Shyamalan direct The Last Airbender is a really bad idea. In his last movie I watched trees slaughter people for the entire 2 hours. #
  • New del.icio.us Firefox addon (beta) is great! It integrates the bookmarks into the Awesome Bar, just like Flock! #
  • There were 3424 tweets posted on Twitter in the time between my last two tweets (approx. 3 seconds), whoa. #
  • Is PERL dead yet? Answer’s at http://isperldeadyet.com/ #
  • Watched “Transporter 3″ (2008). Good movie, it’s got lots of good moments in it. Re-watchable for sure. #
  • About “Transporter 3″ again, I only watched the movie for Frank Martin’s character. It repeated the first quite a bit. Second didn’t have any. #
  • A few more moments for my downloads to complete and I’ll be booting to Windows. Visual C++ college work calls. #
  • Oh no. The painting at the end of this week’s Heroes episode seems all too familiar. Not twice, but thrice familiar! Blow ‘em up time. #
  • Webbynode’s ReadyStacks are truly easy to deploy. Am gonna try writing a simple Django app and run it. #
  • VC++ 6.0 is terrible. I need to code every little thing in it. To make matters worse, there is no MSDN in the labs to refer to. #
  • Maybe its just VC++ with MFC that’s bad. In VS 2008, creating applications with VC++ is quite a lot easier. #
  • Am trying to remember the md5 string of “QwertyManiac”. It’s very challenging, though. #
  • Getting the Watchmen comics. Curious to see what they hype is all about. #
  • Who watches the watchmen? #
  • Using the Oxygen icon theme on GNOME feels a little odd. Could be cause of the Clearlooks GTK theme along with it. #
  • There’s an Industrial Visit from College to some place I’ve not heard of. I hope its good. #
  • CodeChef.com looks well created. Not sure about its judge though, got to try. #
  • QuakeLive is FAIL. My queue position is 4k+! #
  • The Watchmen comics were fabulous! (They even use this word anymore?) The ending was quite shocking. #
  • There’s only so much time I can browse 4Chan and not feel bored. #
  • T.sonic’s earphones are giving low output. Guess they’re broken and I got to purchase new ones. #
  • Been over a decade since I played Ludo. #
  • Had a boring session at College about Java and general S/W development. But I learned a little new thing about Constructors. #
  • What’s a woman doing in the Flipsyde line-up? Oh noes. #
  • Locke’s coming back from the dead means he’s now what Christian Shephard was after the initial crash? [Lost] #

Twitter or This post had to come sooner or later

@having fun with microblogging, status-blogging, whatever twitter is.

Though am not totally addicted to it, its good to post short thoughts or replies at Twitter. I still find the place a bit weird to browse through but I’m beginning to get a hang of it, unfortunately not while I’m mobile. I think that’s the best point of Twitter, a scribble pad to post upon as you travel.

Twitter - Cause birds tweet?

Twitter - Cause birds "tweet"?

I’ve had many nice ideas, thoughts and such while travelling but never have I cultivated the so-said good habit of carrying around a small notebook to scribble them upon. I find that quite odd to do, non-wash-proof kind of odd. Twitter, however, with the advance of the mobile devices into every man’s pockets, promises to help cultivating the same habit in a digital way. I need to setup the texting feature and give it a spin, and also try some gprs methods while am at it.

On my desktop I use Ping.fm for “tweeting”, as they like to call it, and I use it along with Bitlbee. Nice integration into one single irssi IRC interface. Ok I got a bit off the topic there, admitted. I’m turning quite the jargon guy here I notice, but I can’t really help changing that back, but yes I can dumb stuff down a bit maybe.

So, more tiny updates at my Twitter account – QwertyManiac
