Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-06-07

Front yard mowed. I’m not sure why, but the neighbors seem really bemused that I’m using a manual push mower. #
Listening to GM talk about their bankruptcy. #
Finished feeding the garden with vegan fertilizer. Now making dinner of black-eyed peas, kale and red quinoa. Yum. #vegan #
Yeah, definitely waited too long to trim all the cats nails. They all have little scratches across their faces/foreheads. #
Neighbor selling honey went off in a huff after @pdxyogini tried to explain we wouldn’t buy any because we’re vegan. #
@soycamo Yeah, we trim their nails ourselves. Most cats will get used to it and it gets easy once you’ve done it a few times. in reply to soycamo #
@soycamo No, there are special clippers for cat claws. They cost around $10 and most pet stores should have them. in reply to soycamo #
Feels good that I can still use picas as my unit of measurement in InDesign. #
Completed the thing I was supposed to do over the weekend but completely forgot about. Now off to bed! #
Up way late for me (fitful night of sleep due to cat shenanigans). Drinking tea and trying to wake up fully. #
OSBridge Volunteer Orientation TONIGHT @ 7pm. Volunteer 8 hrs and get a conference pass. Details here: http://bit.ly/TcIwY #
Very happy the cats did much better last night. Slept all in the bedroom without freaking out and waking us up. #
Sending ZCO’s postcard of sitting times to the printer. Hoping it’ll be done in time for the Portland Buddhist Festival: http://bit.ly/pMsVx #
There are too many events in June. I need to clone myself or take up amphetamines. #
@turoczy Let us know what you find out. I’m looking for some local hosting too for a couple of projects. in reply to turoczy #

Contemplating what to get for dinner while I wrap up code. #

RT @osbridge: 2 weeks from this moment, you’ll be in the hacker lounge, caffeinated & coding like crazy. If you register: http://is.gd/NSOe #
I feel hung over, yet I have not consumed alcohol recently. Perhaps it’s the humidity. Heading out soon to work. Destination yet unknown. #
hmm…how much can I get done before I leave for lunch 2.0 – at Backspace http://shz.me/6G0 #
Annoyed at the half dozen or so drivers I saw run yellow-red lights this morning on the way downtown. #
In Oregon it is unlawful to proceed through a yellow light unless you cannot safely stop. #
Broke down and bought another pair of JBL Ref 220 headphones since I can’t find my original set Stock iPod headphones hurt my ears. #
Time for Lunch 2.0! – left Backspace http://shz.me/6G0 #
@merlyn The full (paid) version of Acrobat will do what you want. in reply to merlyn #
Lunch 2.0. Come talk to me about how to volunteer at @osbride! – at Webtrends http://shz.me/6G8 #
@merlyn Ah. If you have InDesign, you can place the pdf as a linked graphic, put text boxes on top of it and re-export as pdf. in reply to merlyn #
@remoteelf Shifts are 2-hours long. Plenty of partial day volunteer opportunities for @osbridge. in reply to remoteelf #
Thanks @webtrends for hosting Lunch 2.0! #

Wow, Intel is buying Wind River. #
Working at replying to all email more promptly. #
Biking home to get the car and then heading to the dharma center for all kinds of Zen stuff. #
Not thrilled I need to head out just as the storm is hitting. #
@wajiii ugh, I make that typo nearly every time I try to type osbridge! in reply to wajiii #
Got in car, drove a couple of blocks and then decided to head back home. Bummed to miss stuff at the dharma center. #
Starting to thunder and lightening in N. Portland. Rain starting up. #pdxtst #
House-shaking thunder here in North Portland. #pdxtst #
Still glad we stayed home, but the storm was kind of anti-climatic. #
@LynneBMcManus Oh, I bed! I have nightmares about midwestern storms (mostly tornados) even though I’ve never been through one. in reply to LynneBMcManus #
@LynneBMcManus bed = bet in that last tweet. in reply to LynneBMcManus #
@igalko dtrx looks very handy, thanks for the tip! in reply to igalko #
RT @osbridge: Speaker Focus: Sherri Montgomery and Get off your asana and move! http://is.gd/PfOA #
Rain knocked over a few of the tomatoes. Clearly we waited too long to put in the cages. Propped them back up. #
@spinnerin I agree. Most call-in shows drive me batty. in reply to spinnerin #
Heading out. I’ll be mostly in SE today, for a change. #
enjoying a very tasty latte – at Chance Of Rain http://shz.me/6H4 #
RT @osbridge: Want to show your love for open source? There’s still ad space in the event guide. But you have to hurry. http://is.gd/PtuL #
Yesterday’s weather fooled me into not dressing warmly enough today. Brrrr. #
Am hoping the rain lets up so I don’t get soaked riding to @beerandblog. Am thinking that’s not going to happen… #
Neat! R.E.M. releases font collection: http://remhq.com/news_story.php?id=1007 #
Speaking of R.E.M., I read Mike Mils and Peter Buck have been in Portland cutting demos for the next R.E.M. record. #
heading to @beerandblog. – left Chance Of Rain http://shz.me/6H4 #
checking in for @beerandblog – at Green Dragon Bistro & Brewpub http://shz.me/6HK #
Reading about WordPress theme development. #
Feeling bad for the roast pig they’ve just brought into the green dragon at @beerandblog. #
@yuetsu Sorry, we lost track of you and Pete. We got really hungry and went off to grab food without thinking to grab you. in reply to yuetsu #
@yuetsu You going to be around this weekend? I was going to work some. We could meet up and I can help you more then. in reply to yuetsu #
Awake much later than usual. Very nice to be able to sleep in. Heading to brunch. #
Surprised by an early b-day gift from @pdxyogini last night – tickets to Rent! #
@yuetsu We’re at Chance of Rain cafe. Stop by if you’re in the neighborhood and we can work on the MySQL issue. in reply to yuetsu #
