Well, the world didn’t end …
Every time the number of issues exceeds the number of days, my nails become shorter by about a millimetre.
@codelust Ha. You can’t ask https://t.co/EQ1oZImd and then tell me to have patience within a span of 20 whatever minutes.
@codelust … which is SEO. This data could be used for so much more and so much better than SEO …
@codelust even Chrome removed its RSS discovery icon. And when that happens …
@codelust sure, content is getting semantically marked up, but nobody is doing anything with it. The data is talking, nobody listening.
@codelust What’s your criteria for “doing quite well”?
@codelust Because attempts at doing that have failed with the mainstream. Look at microformats and what happened with those.
@arjunghosh But, it’s not the new year yet …
And yeah, I’m in Delhi.

I have officially found the dumbest person alive ~ http://t.co/d6Eyv40C
Some words should just be written/read, not spoken.
Here’s another #wtf issue ~ http://t.co/kHuUuOgJ
DAE’s eyes fill with tears of joy whenever they see free icon giveaways?
Skillz! Both in the editing and the gameplay ~ http://t.co/Gg8jynTH
This is one of the more bizarre tickets I’ve seen, both in the issue and the result: http://t.co/fFBMptrK
http://t.co/I92UfhX3 makes sounds like everybody is a big-eyed pug. Web-based readers are inherently a flawed concept.
My homepage is a Github issues page. #sigh
My Chevelle patch ~ Song for the day: http://t.co/564T09OD
I wish there was a way to zap the brain so that it would temporarily forget everything.
That moment when you’ve eaten so much that thinking about food again makes you want to throw up. I’m hitting that stage with Chevelle atm.
ho ho ho http://t.co/7LHWFBb6
Gurgaon is so badass, we have sunlight at 7:30p and are 18 degrees on the eve of new year’s. Umad? http://t.co/DV9jQzQZ
A good metric to determine how close you are to someone is to estimate, if they died the next sec, how many days it’ll take you to find out.
I’m going to start a new blog called “Chevelle explained - from the obvious to the nonsensical”.
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/4G64HoQu (this album is awesome. GET IT NOW)
kowey We geeks need exposure to more eg lit, history, anthropology to inoculate against natural attraction to simplistic/systemising world view
@Naina … Moleskine’s tagline is “Legendary notebooks” …
Look the other way. It will probably keep you sane longer than most.
@ankurb yala yala *nods head*.
@ankurb Why a headscarf?
Listen to Chevelle when you’re a tad tipsy. Trust me. It’s magical.
Two glasses of wine and I’m lol’ing around around the house. #LOL
“And I’ll take guaranteed history over typos any day.” — Linus Torvalds (http://t.co/R7AOgYXU)
“Hats Off to the Bull” is awesome. Chevelle manages to change their sound and sounding better than ever. #madrespect
@Naina Remember when Rs. 500 notebooks were too expensive to be used frivolously? …
When asking a question, resist the urge to state that you know you’re not good at something. Redundant self-deprecation says you’re stupid.

@burnflare I don’t know, it’s too far into the future. Let’s see as we get closer to that date.
@burnflare We’ll be sending out more invites in a couple of weeks. If you sign-up at http://t.co/loM75rXV, you’ll get one.
@rushiv Kinda. But hosted, paid and no voice? A chat service is not worth paying for when Jabber exists; I rather write a bot.
I have a new idea for an app: multi-user chat, with voice, and Github integration (issue references, commit messages, gist snippets, etc).
Indian-edition editors for tech blogs probably have the most useless job on this planet.
I finally get to see what my cards look like! http://t.co/HYdijwdu
Song of the day ~ http://t.co/c74lMXQL (OMG LOOK AT WES)
Okay, @wesborland is the first and only artist I’m going to follow on Twitter.
Noob opens issue; I say case too specific, general soln not easy. Creator says it’ll be easy; 1hr later lists all problems he ran into #FML
Dude, I was hating people before it was cool.
I really miss playing Table Tennis. ~ Best shots of 2011: http://t.co/h0CjUEXc
The Internet is a solid communication platform, and a terrible discussion platform. #730
SwaroopH Looks like there’s hope for a real ISP in India: http://t.co/eRocJ0Ar
Chrome totally derps out if you try to “position: absolute” something inside a “display: inline, position: relative”.
That is a static file, but I’ll be updating the list for myself. If you have iCloud, I can share it with you if you @reply, which will sync.
Made a list of must-watch movies in 2012. (.ics file): http://t.co/GKTEVwL3

@shashank_ps They told me about it when they were interviewing me for an internship. I came pretty close to adding to the annoyance.
@sumesh jokes are better left unexplained.

@SwaroopH Give me some, I’ll do it.
Hate money and everything related to it.
Saying something to agree seems redundant. Saying to disagree seems fruitless. Saying to make conversation seems like a waste of time.
So @everlane is like Sarojini Nagar but for the web. Interesting, and interested. http://t.co/IqCRFaaW
Hello India. Thank you for misplacing my only checked-in bag.
Chairs for big-dick people ~ http://t.co/VhHoYCxN
Dubai airport: helping me reach my yearly walking quota since ’09. At least they make up for it with a free wi-fi.
@ankurb Both.
@ankurb Heh. That guy is *not* funny.
@vimalg2 And I did try out 3 options between 70 to 100 quid; Bose easily trumped them.
@vimalg2 My dad’s noise cancelling Sennheiser. These sound better. This was an upgrade for my stock Apple earphones I lost though.
Also decided to walk out to 4 degrees is just a shirt and jeans. Living on the edge baby!
Bought a a pair of Bose earphones. My god do these things make Limp Bizkit sound like gods of sound.
@ankurb watching Louis CK are we?
Solutions are easy. Understanding the problem is hard.
“stress response is still optimized to prepare for a short period of physical exertion, not for mental clarity.” http://t.co/V0Qpdymk
@ankurb nope. Different department.
The first to market have the advantage of going with the obvious.
Beautiful semi-sunny, semi-rainy day here today.
@ankurb You know why none of it matters? Log out and look at this: http://t.co/M1hyb6fM As long as Facebook is closed, Timeline sucks.
@ankurb Yep.
@ankurb I can’t. Facebook hates me. Or they have some algorithms in place that won’t let me until I’ve achieved somethings.
@ankurb Yes. That’s totally what my dreams — wet, dry, whatever — are made of.
The collective dumbification of Github.
@shadeheart Ha. 10° ain’t freezing, 0° is! Cheers.
The web needs an anti-blue movement.
@shadeheart Well, I look at it as New Year’s at home, but yep. Much needed time away from 0°, copious amounts of bread and 6hr daylight time
“KNEEL BEFORE TODD!” http://t.co/QDuxBT51
@shadeheart Primarily for reading, the device is pretty good for the price. Let me know if you want a looksy. I’m back in India next week.
@shadeheart There are keys on the side for pages; pad is enough for chapters. You’re welcome to try out mine if you want.
@shadeheart I’m guessing you just want the h/w p.o.v. No, I don’t miss it; it’s purely for reading for me. No web stuff, so no typing.
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/rGymn4wV (wow … nostalgia)
@Naina *raises hand* @shadeheart
Take an opportunity to learn, to learn, and not push it on someone who already knows.
Or
Learn to fish, instead of asking a fisherman.
I keep forgetting how old I am, until I see my age in Stackoverflow and go, “Huh.”.
Christopher Hitchens, 1949-2011 ~ http://t.co/POuYdz9L
@stealingsand No, that’s “arrogance”, if you’re trying to use it in a negative sense. “Ego” is inherently neutral.

I find myself consciously stopping myself from tweeting links, thinking there’s a good chance everyone has already seen it.
@ankurb JRX works well for me: http://t.co/POcaSSZW
The HP logo redesign: http://t.co/0uVpVKRs
Can’t remember the last time I saw a TV show (except #Supernatural) that didn’t have a guy pining for a girl. TV is pathetic.
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/WzCKzjzf (Chevelle’s new album is out!!)
@saahil Our derp!
http://t.co/6zuXnKro will take you to your dashboard.
Atticous Hello World, we’ve arrived http://t.co/9eDIFjVj
Peaceful sleep will be peaceful.
@ankurb Yeah, that code will get pushed before I sleep.
@ankurb That, is a button ~ http://t.co/tOZvw0lk
@ankurb I went nuts trying to convince everyone that enter-to-submit is legit UI. *They* made me add buttons. Now, button revenge.
@ankurb … you get awesome?
SwaroopH Lift off.. http://t.co/4zMieYTJ
SwaroopH “Milestone closed: Few seconds ago.” How have I waited for this.
@ankurb Yes it does. It’s not the ads that annoy me; it’s how people lay them out that does. I’m not against ads.
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/lpr7Nn69
@ankurb nothing that heavy. I stopped using Adblock when I switched from Fx to Chrome. Never installed it again since I didn’t feel the need
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/GWCiiGtm (I don’t know how I got to this song, but it’s very http://t.co/uawkVJ6e)
@ankurb It’s not about clicking; just the clutter. Having to Instapaper a page just to not put my fist through the screen seems avoidable.
@ankurb Do you make a lot from those ads?
@SwaroopH 2/3rd the price of a Kindle, so yeah, I guess.
@yuvipanda there you go ~ http://t.co/QtdwZXm3
And now my Kindle is complete ~ http://t.co/3GoDE80q
These are my lecture notes. This is NOT a typo. #facepalm http://t.co/ts9nQ428
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/v2otihvg (Said it before, will say it again: Wes is God.)
@ap00rv Skim is just a PDF reader (?) Preview opens every file type that isn’t completely proprietary.
@ap00rv That’s made up for by the fact that you don’t have to install 20 different viewers which you otherwise would have had to.
Then again, lecturers need to be introduced to the “Export > PDF” command.
2011 guys … 2011.
Preview.app doesn’t get even half the credit it should.
@ankurb Nope. And it probably won’t.
If u’r not using Twitter for Mac over the web, u’r doing it wrong. If u’r not using @Tweetbot on ur iPhone, guess what? Stop whining. God.
I don’t know where I got this from, but it’s pretty funny: http://t.co/6kD33Bv6
@burnflare It’s England; it’s always rainy. More so around the summer.
@burnflare Get an umbrella if you plan to walk around.
40 km/h winds on campus today. Blowin’ in the wind just got a whole new meaning.
@ankurb You have to hear the prologue to the song … you can’t do the song justice without it.
Perceived progress — whether real or not — is the best motivation.
@xAbhishek … well, I did stop.
Word. ~ http://t.co/YWZX58FF
Ten Things Everyone Should Know About Time (via @instapaper) ~ http://t.co/pUwuYTcx
On, what I call, a startup diet.
I suddenly feel bad for laughing at my mum whenever she tries to type.
@binnyva I don’t have RSI; it’s more about efficiency, with occasional screams of “WHERE IS ‘U’?!”
Shot at Dvorak, part 2 ~ http://t.co/WVJiKGj4
I knew the script would be at least 50% better than the movie (the movie was still awesome) ~ 50/50 script http://t.co/8TuwRFC3
@ankurb … wow, for a second there I thought you were being sarcastic. Tried to read what was written to make sure.
@ankurb Ha. So you gave in.
This is awesome ~ http://t.co/cvprqaVj
Suddenly, almost snow.
Not only has Lion shot my battery so hard that my MBP is now a desktop, but it turns itself off without warning when battery hits 5% #derp
@Naina Considering you get around a thousand times more, see and talk to more ppl than I do, why do you find these things surprising?
Found a new series to watch, “The Walking Dead”. Very L4D.
I like: Untitled http://t.co/nxdTmRgm
One of these days I’m going to wake up screaming “The Indonesians are coming! THE INDONESIANS ARE COMING!”
Great. Now I’ve run through “Castle” and again have nothing to watch. #firstworldproblems
I’m probably the only person who can overdose on Chocolate without eating any.
@ankurb I meant it like “I rather spend my day sprawled on the rug than go hunting for food.”
@ankurb Long story short: asked mum.
@ankurb Yes, I live like a cat.
Update to “Re-imagining Lifestreams …”: http://t.co/lZtuMCvN
How I feel when joining a new network: http://t.co/ctbiTfLN
Trying out Path. This looks amazing.
Too bad I don’t have any friends; I can totally see myself using this (at the moment).
OH: “Cola Pinãda”.
Every few weeks, this seems to pop up like a ball that hits the ground and comes back up ~ http://t.co/1uDdRy1J
A sure-fire way of increasing your lifespan: start saying “No”.
