I did not know that there is a Sherlock Holmes movie being made! I randomly just started reading all the short stories on my iPod...

and now that I just watched it, I am a bit worried. Maybe because reading it has put it fresh in my mind...that was a lot of action...

my apologies to anyone who was feeling spammed by my iTunes updates. @ryanofarrell was good enough to call me out on it. drastically reduced

two hours later and still no results from Tweetfeeder...that would be dissapointing...

note to self: you cannot VM FusionWare and Sun Mircosystems VirtualBox at the same time. kernel panic...

apparently twitterfeed takes a couple of hours to cache the information from an RSS feed

just saw the ad for Things in the Twitter feed. Good product, I just can't pay $60. http://tinyurl.com/9ofc6u go there to try the demo.

I think I just automated my iTunes listening into my Twitter...stay tuned for tweets starting with iTunes :: ...

however Tweetie sits nicely in my menu bar and growl notifies me of any updates. So I can work and stay on top of things online...

finally taking the plunge and installing windows 7 on a virtual machine...lets see how this works...

someone just asked if I ever work. I am monitoring the call stats, listening to calls and building stat reports in word that link to excel.

just clicked on my first picture link in Tweetie. It is so slick, just opens a window no website or browser window...nicely done...

trying to sign up with www.statustweet.com however it is proving to be a difficult process. I like the idea...jury is still out on this one.

watching some videos about finance. http://tinyurl.com/o2t2a5

turns out what some of these people needed was some motivation. we got double our average of leads yesterday.

I am going to get back in to the daily fodder routine. It is pretty easy now to record myself as I drive home and then upload it to YouTube. Really with a couple of clicks I can have a daily vlog. Here is the first entry. Not true fodder content yet just an introduction.

I have decided to start doing Daily Fodder again. There are enough little moments throughout the day where I can find cool little things...

probably going to watch some lost and fold some laundry...

It is so funny how you can go into the day with one plan and have absolutely nothing from that plan happen. But i was busy all day...

nice to be able to work with the programmers of your software when things go wrong. They wrote a patch and applied it so things are good...

the work wireless internet is not giving IP addresses. What a monday...this is nuts...

For those of you still concerned about joke flu...i mean swine flu...updated reading http://tinyurl.com/c9o5ef

hiring new people is always fun

still waiting for Orion to fix our dialer. In the mean time the morning shift is doing really well picking up the slack.

the work wireless internet is not giving IP addresses. What a monday...this is nuts...

So when I said the dialer was down, what I should have said is our IT packed our database so that it is unusable. Waiting on tech support...

So I come in to work and the shift supervisor said the dialer went down at 8:45 on Friday. Still down now...Monday Monday...

Twitterific vs TweetDeck vs Tweetie

I am going to start a series of posts that follow my own process of optimizing my online profile. Like most of you I have a whole bunch of profiles in a whole bunch of places and it can seem annoying or tedious to keep up with them all. What I have done in the past is just work on each one in spurts which yields a pretty inconsistent experience. So what I am going to do is highlight the different tools that I use to make that happen.

I am going to start off with a side by side comparison of some of the major players in the Twitter client world. I know several people who use TweetDeck and I know that Twitterific has been around forever. Tweetie is a really new entry but has gotten a lot of press so I thought I would cover it as well. There are certainly others, and if there is one that you would like compared I will give it a shot next go round.

catching up on some 24. it is so nice to not have to work nights anymore...

for those of you not at SunValley, we are not having services, we are having all 2000 people go out and do service projects for three hours.

just finished some Futurama and fixed our printing setup. with technology advancing how can printing still be so randomly annoying?

ask me sometime about how stupid Adobe is with the way their upgrading software works.

I am excited for Serve Sunday tomorrow. Our high school small group is going to tackle a house in our neighborhood as a project...
