While Twitter has its latest scheduled downtime, I'll be posting my random 140 character quips about life and what I'm doing on this site instead. Walkley award material I can assure you!

Twitter is back online. And so ends the first installment of the "Emergency Twitter offline postings" ^_^

False alarm. Thought Twitter was back, and I was able to post on Snitter, but Twitter site is still down. 105

Going to try and finish all my studies this week so I have Christmas and a few days after off. Not sure if I can do it! 119

20:34 SGT, 13:24 GMT

Just came back from dinner. Appears Twitter is still offline. Damn it, been offline nearly all day! 99

18:21 SGT, 11:21 GMT

Reading up on how to tie MySQL to Ruby in a way similar to how I did it with Perl back in 2005. Wow, long time ago! 115

"Believing the world is 5000 years old and created in 5 days isn’t a moral issue. It’s just stupid!" – Bill Maher 113

My mum just woke up, made her dinner. Her mouth still really hurts, this chemo is nasty stuff 93

I used to set my air con to 24/75F, now I set it to 27/80F and it feels the same! Amazing what a bit of tuning can do! 118

16:48 SGT, 09:48 GMT

I like to have clean computer workspaces, I hate having lots of windows open. Tweeting on this blog is very inefficient in that respect! 136

16:38 SGT, 09:38 GMT

And to think I was going to figure out if I could import these posts into Twitter when it came back. Could you imagine?! 120

Excellent quote I just read on Slashdot: “Correct spelling is the new 1337″75

16:28 SGT, 09:28 GMT

Aircon people have left. I turned the one in my room on and was nearly blown out the window! Makes HUGE difference! 115

15:54 SGT, 08:54 GMT

This really makes me appreciate how easy it is to use Twitter, and how much time I clearly waste on it! Look at all these! Curse you Felix! 139

15:51 SGT, 08:51 GMT

And I’m still worried about installing Last.fm on Leopard considering how it manages to screw up X11 so much 108

15:49 SGT, 08:49 GMT

Trying to clear out a backlog of emails that have accumulated 61

15:34 SGT, 08:33 GMT

Ah it’s all good. I restarted the VMware Fusion server and all is good again. Whew! 83

15:33 SGT, 08:33 GMT

What the hell? None of my VMware Fusion virtual machines are detecting my keyboard?! 84

15:23 SGT, 08:23 GMT

Somehow posting these entries on my blog just doesn’t feel the same, or as spontaneous 86

15:18 SGT, 08:18 GMT

Aircon servicepeoples just arrived to service our aircons. What a redundant sentence! 85

15:16 SGT, 08:16 GMT

Started Twitterring on my website while Twitter has scheduled maintenance… in the early afternoon! 100
