My Weekly Twitter Roundup For 2012-01-29

Posted by Alastair in Twitter Stream on January 29, 2012

  • Sorting out photos always seems quite dull, but getting comments about how good some of them are is rewarding. You've got to pay the piper. #
  • Shame I didn't set out to go see the Liverpool Chinese New Year celebrations as there would have been a few nice photos. Needed the rest tho #
  • @sean1983 Interesting composition, clear subject, nice environment. Good work. :-) in reply to sean1983 #
  • @sean1983 What've you made of my recent photos to date? #
  • @sean1983 What app? in reply to sean1983 #
  • Ahh the joy of owning Apple. #AppleTVBlinkingLightOfDeath #
  • @sean1983 PC TV interfaces are rough in my experience. Plus I dont have to reinstall Mac os every 3-6 months due to slow down. in reply to sean1983 #
  • @sean1983 but very much a fan of multi platform support. So chances are I'll always run both. in reply to sean1983 #
  • @sean1983 well we obviously dont do the same things with our PC's. I'm not talking about TV cards particularly. Just large screen interface. in reply to sean1983 #
  • @sean1983 knowledge is always king. You say that as if it isn't true. Hackintosh is big community, and they'are both x86/64 tech. in reply to sean1983 #
  • Moo business cards have arrived. Good lesson in what photos work on the back and which ones don't. Good opportunity to test them out tomrrw. #
  • @Den_Rubio Hey. How are you? Thanks for the follow. Nice to meet Wirral twitterers. #
  • I earned a Ruby badge by donating 180 days of cpu time to Drug Search for Leishmaniasis at WCG http://t.co/2cnBaM0u #wcgrid #
  • Just been to good Focus On Networking meeting. On the way to @FrshStartHealth to assist with some tech. :-) #
  • My pack of moo cards went down well at business networking thanks to @overheardatmoo for quality photo cards http://t.co/l5V03Raf #
  • I just unlocked the Level 2 "Great Outdoors" badge on @foursquare! In it to win it! http://t.co/8GuTz1ts #
  • @FrshStartHealth My pleasure. Lovely meeting you again. :-) in reply to FrshStartHealth #
  • @jennmckeown @WirralSoftball I played it at school at some point. I can't remember the rules clearly. Depends on when and where. in reply to jennmckeown #
  • @jennmckeown My sister apparently follows you. Weird connection. in reply to jennmckeown #
  • @jennmckeown Haha. Well it's not exactly that small, given we're both on the Wirral. There's a couple stories about ppl I met in China. in reply to jennmckeown #
  • Someone just waved to me from a car as I was taking photos from the middle of a roundabout. No idea who or whether legit or ironic. Fun :-) #
  • @NancieHenryShop working through a bit of a backlog. Thanks for the interest. :-) business cards at work. in reply to NancieHenryShop #
  • @AndroidDev the setLooping bug affects me, please fix it! http://t.co/KjNDC9DL #setloopingbug #
  • I gave @Wirral_Business +K about Business on @klout http://t.co/QhRqIJvv #
  • @HeatonsOffice Does this account happen to be run by Tim? :-) just interested why the follow? #
  • Maybe it's time for a hair cut. In the immortal words of a Liverpool youth as I was walking past "look at that paedo, get him". #
  • Why do I do it to myself? Should really avoid Romantic Dramas / Rom Coms. "10 Things I hate about you". Taming of the Shrew esk. Good. :-) #
  • Got booked on a job searching, CV Writing, Application Writing, Cover Letter Writing, skills workshop for Tuesday at Reed. Should be good. #

  • Is wondering if I'll ever be able to change my attitude towards exercise. I always feel loathe to do it, and pain and hatred come easily. #
  • @cheesemeister97 Going for a 3 mile walk won't have the effect I'm looking for. Need something to get heart going. Break 10 min mile avg. in reply to cheesemeister97 #
