@synfluent You use Macs in the mining industry? Just personally, or institutionally?
Less is not necessarily more, but enough is enough.

So wrong, but funny: RT @thedayhascome: Said the schizophrenic to the shepherd boy, “Do you hear what I hear?”
ferretthimself A woman tells her programmer husband: “Get me a quart of milk? And if they have eggs, get a dozen.” He comes back with 12 quarts of milk.

@JimmySlims He totally did - he was also very careful to make safe outlet passes. He was definitely a major factor in their win.
@JimmySlims Hey - saw Adam play an awesome game in goal at the soccer tournament in Richmond yesterday!

@danielpunkass How about you step out of your comfort zone to give it a try? They’re not villains for trying to motivate to try this way.
@kcase Strangely, that link doesn’t work in Gmail (at least in Chrome), though it does work in Mail.app. FWIW.
@leolaporte (The password part, not the Google part)
@leolaporte That’s an extremely unlikely worst-case scenario. http://xkcd.com/792/ is far more likely, if we’re worrying about something.
@leolaporte Love your stuff, but the “open” rhetoric is starting to get wearing. You often preface stuff with “Maybe I’m overreacting” Yup.
@geoffgauthier Yeah, in a good way.
@geoffgauthier Speaking of Yogi, did you see this? http://www.youtube.com/w…

@chartier It’s not as dumb as it seems; using something simple like 0 is better than using one of your real passwords.
@geehoneybee That should totally be a thing! #noshoeswednesday
Dec 15-19 Google will donate to charity on your behalf if you install Chrome for a Cause: http://bit.ly/fU738w (surprisingly not BS!)
Wow, looks like @posterous has a great solution for private group communication that supports rich content: http://post.ly/1L9gH
@shawnblanc That’s awesome. Thank you.
@fmanjoo I totally agree; it’s arguably better to leave it set to a default and keep your “real” password(s) for important sites.
Wow, @embedly’s Parrotfish Chrome extension just made Twitter.com the best desktop computer Twitter client: http://bit.ly/hGB05y
It amazes me that someone would choose to write an article for the Huffington Post about how incredibly dumb they are: http://huff.to/e6XM79
@JimmySlims It was a long time ago; the survey was about whether or not the Canucks needed a mascot (the year before Fin was introduced).
Before Christmas? Wow RT @AtlThrashers: Congrats to D Byfuglien who just set franchise record for goals in a season by a dman
@Seanfunk Of course, one time @jimmyslims and I were at a Canucks game, and he filled out a survey and I didn’t. They gave him Canucks tix.
@twf_support Wow, that was fast - thanks!
Related: From an economics point of view, why does anyone ever fill out a survey? There’s almost never anything in it for you.
It’s amazing how aggressive companies get about getting feedback on the support they’ve provided.
@twfeed I’d like to change the email account on my TwitterFeed account from [email protected] to [email protected] please.
@geoffgauthier That’s 2.5% of what was naturally occurring in that variety before the decaffeination process. It’s miniscule.
I hear people say decaf coffee “still has lots of caffeine”. US regulations state that at least 97.5% must be removed to be called decaf.
How did @chockenberry manage to use the phrase “huge dock” in a tweet without using the CHOCKLOCK?

@jen_robbins On the bright side, if we get a cold snap soon… Insta-rink in the yard!
@ttscoff Sorry about that too - though I feel like I have a good sense of where nvALT is going, an it’s all good!
@ttscoff Sorry about “Supremo” - editor got a little colorful with the post title.

@JimmySlims Okay, so check this out - go to this page, and click on Listen: http://bit.ly/iaeBzg
@JimmySlims My head just exploded.
@JimmySlims That’d be pretty awesome. Totally relaxing, too… LOL
@JimmySlims Great idea, but I like the whole experience. I like to hear every crackle and pop as it happens, you know? Guess I’m a purist.
@JimmySlims Dude! I was going to turn it off, but now I have to watch it through to the end… hope it’s not too long.
Have Shaw’s firelog channel on in the background. The guy stoking the fire almost knocked a log out of the fireplace. That’d be exciting!
@JimmySlims Pisses me off that Hughson does the oh-so-important Toronto games instead of the Nux. Let’s see where TO is in the spring…
@melissawiebe Oh man - that would be brutal.
@melissawiebe Good, maybe CBC will get the message.
@melissawiebe Thanks - then I’m not crazy!
@ttscoff Beautiful!
@ttscoff I assume it’s checking against standard NV.
@ttscoff BTW, any plans to make the Check for Updates command work for NV ALT?
@ttscoff Ahh, but of course!
@ttscoff VP touch?
@ttscoff (Which isn’t to say it’s not already awesome!)
@ttscoff BTW, I’m writing up your NV fork tonight for @downloadsquad. I can’t tell you how excited I am about your future plans for it!
@film_girl @ttscoff @TJLuoma You guys don’t know what it means to me to see that I’m not the only one with this sickness.
I like Schneider’s mask, acknowledging the history of #canucks logos.
Seriously enjoying playing hockey again. Had a blast this afternoon with a fun team. #fb

It amazes me to see twins that have their own outfits. My boys aren’t even close to the same size, and I can’t keep their clothes straight.
OH (a parent, at kids soccer): “Chris? Oh yeah, he’s a good Jesus!”
badbanana Another disgusting breakfast of steak and eggs. Does the raw food diet ever get easier?
@aryayush I think Apple’s solution is just bigger screens.
There’s nothing more annoying than when a site doesn’t provide a direct link when we know one exists. @macworld http://bit.ly/fvcNZg
“He isn’t making any sense at all. Quite literally, we don’t know what Mike is talking about right now.” re: RIM’s CEO http://engt.co/g7ubPt
@FogBugz I’ll try it, thanks!
Why do I sometimes have an intense desire for coffee in the morning when I only drink decaf? It’s not caffeine addiction… #fb
@FogBugz Can you forward an email to FogBugz creating a case with the original sender as the correspondent using Gmail as your mail client?
@GlenTrainor That sounds terrifying, even if it is fiction.
@chartier Personally, I think LockInfo http://lockinfo.ashman.c… is a better choice. It’s why I’m still running 4.1 (jailbroken)

Nice to see @posterous not taking the tempting opportunity to kick @tumblr when they’re down (so to speak). Well done, @a4agarwal.
a4agarwal Large scale websites have a ton of moving pieces. There’s a lot that can go wrong and take the whole site down. It can happen to anyone.
Wow, I just learned to be careful about the hotkeys I’m pressing - just accidentally retweeted a pretty offensive tweet. Deleted.

Gotta love ending the week with an empty inbox, especially since I struggled to keep it there all week.
I found @cknw’s email updates too soul-crushing, so now I filter out these words: sentenced | court | murder | parole | missing | beating
@garyvee Just listened to your interview on @twit - impressive stuff. Your reputation is larger than life, but you seem very real. Thanks!

If you’re trying to blog and tweet like @gruber, stop it. He has a head start on you, you’re never going to catch up. Be different.
@timbray I like Choosy for that - choosyosx.com
I think letmegooglethatforyou.com (lmgtfy.com for short) might be one of my favourite websites.
irreverend I was ready to answer the question about where babies come from, but eggs? “From a chicken’s butt. Finish your breakfast.”
@chartier Ouch.
I feel like I have 10 tennis ball throwing machines firing at me at the same time, and only one racket.
@chartier Are you having iTunes transcode the music to 128bit to save space? That’ll do it.
