I think there might be such a thing as “too sensible”.
Oh my … God?! http://t.co/zXhZTUo
Big lunch was big.
@AceyTech Agreedgate desu. #memeception
@AceyTech Ridiculousgate.
Ransackgate.
Really?
MAN I hate reading on a computer screen.
@pricelessjunk Three movies in ’10, three in ’11 …
Did Timberlake’s last album bomb or something? There’s a new movie with him in it, like, every week … #outoftheloop
Why does Lion randomly disable my keyboard? #wtf
Three separate Macs getting backed up to the same drive. #funfunfun
I understand this is hard to do, but you would think 3 versions would’ve brought them close to solving this ~ http://t.co/p1Jhig5
There are so many people who should be a lot more famous/visible/known than they are. And vice-versa.
@ankurb Yes. My choice in the arts (music, movies, literature) are all mainstream.
Derp ~ A Brief History of Apple Not Buying Things: http://t.co/BWVfMma
@ankurb http://t.co/w7ixFwE ~ compiled over the last month. I just can’t seem to remember too many of older favourites apparently.
@ankurb If you mean the ‘fullscreen’ thing, no.
Speak with Conviction: A poem by Taylor Mali ~ http://t.co/70CMvyd (video)
Perfect for that little dose of daily distraction. Subscribed. ~ I Never Thought I’d Say This But … http://t.co/bgisyhF /via @austinkleon
@ankurb It’s called being eccentric.
@ankurb Nope. I didn’t say I’d die of any of those though.
Re-imagining Lifestreams: 21st Century Autobiographies ~ http://t.co/cKFLcat
Now works in Safari, and some nice scrolling stuff added in ~ http://t.co/C9j0SoB
Another thing filed under “Thank you for saying this so I don’t have to.” ~ A Word About Unsolicited Redesigns: http://t.co/yVpTinR
http://t.co/C9j0SoB ~ because I like pretty visuals.
What are the “costs” of developing an iOS app? Like really?
What costs are there to be “recovered”?
@xAbhishek http://t.co/VJIp8JL But I will say this. When you live by this, you have to be even more careful about your sources than usual.
Apple’s reason for success is hidden in places you’ll never think to look: http://t.co/D0DowDL
@xAbhishek lol.jpg
@xAbhishek It’s not about how many you follow. You could follow just one @scobleizer and still not be able to read even 1% of your timeline.
@xAbhishek The world would be a better place if everyone paid attention to me ~ http://t.co/geTgau0
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/u8yM6Ms
“But don’t mistake wistful nostalgia for ‘how things ought to be.’ http://t.co/eDdqR7r #lifelessonbutnotreally /via @al3x
More #lol for the day ~ http://t.co/XcCODnG
Why is Chrome’s favicon rendering so horribly ‘effed in Lion? http://t.co/DsGAKeZ
This is why an idea like Airbnb would never take off in India. We’re born with a lack of trust (with good reason, too) ~ http://t.co/szSZMeJ
@ap00rv That’s depressing. But I’m laughing. I might be a closet sadist.
@fancypiece Quick question: where did you get a Hindi newspaper-bag all the way in Sydney? http://t.co/Tz3RasO
After a 5 day hiatus, I’m back baby dolls!
Still immensely weirded out by my router though.
There is a ghost in my router.
Nice guys finish last.
A.k.a Fuck you, Earth.
But of course, Indonesians take no prisoners. The barrage of incomprehensible replies continues.
Only Internet related activity happening is Twitter; in bursts of a minute every few hours. It’s like I’m a cave-man.
No Internet — Day 4.
@ankurb erm, software to design chips/circuits or software that goes on chips?

Song for the day ~ http://cl.ly/8iqR
I’ve absolutely destroyed my pre-paid credit today thanks to the aforementioned hosing.
Amusingly enough, the rep I spoke to decided to randomly switch to Hindi in the middle, while I continued talking in English. #derp
Hosed my modem (figuratively of course) and now last-resort-called Airtel. #sigh
iPhone buttons are negative edge triggered. #uselessinfooftheday
Hide the box of suggestions in Google+ (the ones on the right) ~ http://t.co/Ze8PhLg
I love how Userscripts.org changes in one way or the other every time I visit it.
I really wonder how Google/whatever framework Google uses to generate its pages comes up with class names for elements: http://t.co/foU8CUa
I’m glad he said it so I don’t have to ~ The Gap: http://t.co/7ofLEKF
These are not the consoles you’re looking for ~ http://t.co/h01W8vY
Day old news is fresh enough ~ http://t.co/Aucn4ax
Well that was sure a scare.
How does Apple solve the problem of minimised windows and Mission Control in #Lion? That’s right, it doesn’t.
This is good ~ Chosen: http://t.co/MvrMTuK
So this got changed back: http://t.co/n6gEMCx
Joshua Schachter dumpstering HN: http://t.co/cTsIkz8
@SwaroopH I don’t know. I don’t trust torrents with something that needs to be installed at the system level, so …
@SwaroopH FWIW, it took me 4 tries.
Nice updates to Terminal, I must say. The faded history, changing titlebar icon to match the current working directory.
Except for the fact that I keep reading his name as Kala Patila, this is pretty good ~ http://t.co/VvpFiO6
“There is no ‘I’ in ‘win’.”
@codelust It was just supposed to be this one: http://t.co/OWQjTBh, not the full montage. And just years of lurking on Internet forums.
@codelust Your display picture reminds me of this: http://t.co/oofcFg1
“Intellectual dickswinging.”
Why is the “All My Files” pro-grouping only restricted to “All My Files”? #Lion
#Lion @Reederapp needs a bunch of fixes. No rubber banding/beach balls momentarily when switching items/Can’t seem to use vert. swipes
If you use Autojump, and getting a ‘;’ error in #Lion ~ http://t.co/Aq3YHdz
Proper way to watch Inception ~ http://t.co/6on4jDN /via @reddit
If anybody noticed the slight delay when right-clicking in #Lion ~ http://t.co/nRaFEcv

Things sure have changed a lot around here. But, in other news, I managed to finally go back to a single partition HD after about a year.
Rawr!
Done to Beatles’ “She loves you” playing in the back ~ http://cl.ly/8edf
@ap00rv Same moment it failed for me. Co-incidence?
@ap00rv I reached 1.02gb the first time. 2.89gb the second time. It’s not the speed. Airtel decides to finger itself randomly.
@ap00rv Let’s see. If I can’t get it by tonight, I’ll resort to that tomorrow.
Lion download attempt #3.
If they release a 15” Air next year … dibs.
Second in the series. Still a little incomplete. ~ http://adityamukherjee.c…
The phrase “throwaway thoughts” always amuses me.
#gg Apple. http://t.co/Kaljzdj
So the Apple Store has now been down for 2 hours. I wonder what they broke.
Is it just me or does Helena Bonham Carter look like Johnny Depp without the mustache and beard?
@AceyTech It’s not that. I keep forgetting what’s new and why it’s good.
For the curious, I prefer to use just an 8B. Very carefully, but always an 8B.
I need to make two more to complete the … trilogy … I guess. http://t.co/sHDiVhO
@ankurb considering I’m not much of a traveller …
@ankurb neither.
First in my "Alone" series of sketches. ~ http://adityamukherjee.c…
Song for the day ~ This one isn’t for humans : http://t.co/Dj5LwWr
Couple of weeks ago it was rocks; now it’s ripples.
@ankurb The correct answer is “It depends”.
“Eject ‘USB’”. That’s what she said.
People finding the fake Apple Store story “shocking” says a lot about the divide between the east and west. Never the twain shall meet.
I feel like I need to make a sort of reminder as to why I’m looking forward to Lion and why I should install it right away.
@tweetbot if you say so. As an aside, will you have an option to get notifications for replies only from people we follow in the future?
@tweetbot sent a couple of feedback tweets yesterday ~ http://cl.ly/8agL & http://cl.ly/8aeE
Somebody didn’t get the memo on what @Instapaper actually does ~ http://t.co/KWrZPFS
Just wanted to link to this because of the pretty red; the subject has nothing to do with it ~ http://t.co/7BUpESL
Is There Anything Good About Men? ~ http://t.co/KxSg6A4
Apparently there was a monkey in the house for about 10-15 mins that I had no idea about. #lovemylife
@codelust Not seeing it. And losing faith is something I do very well — and easily, hence the current state.
Zip.
Twitter blows as a communication medium. 2012 is here early.
@codelust it made things — may that be people or things like knowledge — a lot more accessible. Communication became easier, almost free.
@codelust ~ maybe once that move is complete, we’ll see something. But right now it does nothing to change the world like it did in the 90s.
@codelust except that it doesn’t matter. The Internet is just enabling us to move away from analog towards digital. ~
@codelust I’m torn between my personal principle of “I shall not rant” and a need to voice my opinion. But! http://cl.ly/8ZCS
@tweetbot Some more (and specific) feedback: the notification for this tweet http://cl.ly/8Zyh was exactly 4 mins late.
@codelust In that case, secret option C: the Internet as a whole. Dead platform is dead.
But let’s not pull at that thread. Facebook.
@Tweetbot Push notification delays: http://cl.ly/8Yj1
Huge collection of #HoN concept artwork ~ http://t.co/tMydjtc

@dcurtis This Chinese quote is the original one I believe ~ http://cl.ly/8YNv
Is there a new geek anti-intellectualism? ~ http://j.mp/iu3uBy
Caught between looking hip or sophisticated.
(A personal favorite)
Getting angry is the other person’s fault. Staying angry is your own fault.
@codelust Agreed. So what’s the solution? Or what is ‘a’ solution?
Song for the day ~ http://cl.ly/8Xkb
@codelust sure, online. I don’t think you were reading the right stuff. By that, I mean anything that shows up on @TechMeme isn’t right.
@codelust I think you were reading a lot of the wrong stuff. … Surely we don’t need to talk about benefits of reading?
I did not know @Reederapp does this ~ http://cl.ly/8YUb
This is good ~ News Redux: http://j.mp/rgRH4A
rands Pick what you think is worth worrying about: http://t.co/xkZ07Bp

Social networks are the new, well, social networks.
@ankurb Yes.
Trying out a new logo/avatar/icon thingy; something a little more visual than a simple ‘a’.
I like: Guitar Oscillations http://adityamukherjee.c…
1 day 8 hours standby and 4 hours 19 minutes usage. 4% battery left. #iphonestats
Post exam-results-revelation serenity. ~ http://adityamukherjee.c…
@ankurb O, yeah, that. Well, best of luck anyway.
@ankurb So then nothing fubar about that. You’ll be coming back to Surrey or staying in Singapore?
@ankurb So which year are you in and which year are you going into?
@ankurb They came out half an hour ago. Passed everything, second class.
If someone took Instagram’s “Walden” filter and made me a pair of glasses with it, I’d so wear them all the time.
Brace for impact.
I would have loved to add some /cc’s to that #previoustweet, but I’m trying not to be obnoxious.
Mind your MeTweets ~ http://t.co/iXucxms
@burnflare I think it’s pinch to zoom.
When you write about things that matter, you tend to write like it matters.

Why don’t insurance agents thank me for my time even if I say I’m not interested?
I think something people miss out on is that writing is as much of a performance as any.
Pruned 2,500 words down to 1,800. Now to continue adding. This is not getting published anytime soon. #sigh

ankurb Maybe…this whole Nigerian email scammer business originated due a misprint in Confucius quote books sold there - “Teach a man to phish…”
“It’s good to build for yourself first, bc in the worst-case scenario where no one else likes it, at least you will.” ~ http://t.co/PQHdTcu
Twitter has a strange font stack declaration for tweet text on the perma-page: “Georgia,Palatino,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif”
Head getting in the way.

The art is the performance.
The collective noun for paper planes is ‘flotilla’.

In ’10, I propagated the idea of “ppl are dumb”. In ’11, “Internet isn’t social”. In ’12, it’ll be “Twitter as a comm. medium sucks” #yhihf
