@kas@enotty.dk If i’m reading http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.5 correctly, the character ‘:’ is explicitly allowed

@dave@davebucklin.com, @kas@enotty.dk I thought about propsing “There is no maximum length of a message. Clients should show at least 140 characters of a tweet after collapsing the mentions.” Or something like that.

Really liked A Closed and Common Orbit, nice to read a scifi story about character development! Next book: Arkwright by Allen Steele

Say hello to @bullseye@domgoergen.com! A daily bot that counts your daily average deviation from 140 characters per tweet and declares winners and loosers.

@quite@lublin.se I think you’re missing a character for the Klezmer Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQCHgTL0LFI

You don’t even recognize the characters anymore. It’s like someone left the camera running and you’re peeping in the author’s mind.

SHADOW CHARACTERS:↵Moon: vapid↵Fire: airheaded, forgetful↵Moon during lunar eclipse: giddy, very meta↵Sirius: bros↵KIC 8462852: ⠠⠠⠁⠽⠽⠀⠠⠠⠇⠍⠁⠕

Shadows take the character of their source. Electric light’s are dumb, the sun’s boorish. But during new moon, you can talk to distant stars

Our service: We obtain the login of your deceased friend/spouse/senpai and post an in-character tweet or two at a random point in the future

The ASCIImo have 128 words for ‘character’.

Multiple suns light the sky and people throw multiple shadows, each of a different character: unstable, sinister, rebellious, sullen

Sometimes you just need the 20 additional characters… :)

@krt@krt.marmaro.de I actually like it when tweets are short, but insisting on 140 characters and cutting the tweet is a little bit too strict.

@krt@krt.marmaro.de You can use more than 140 characters. It seems twtxt does not limit the number of characters to 140. Neither does txtnix. Twet?

Thanks @kdave@kdave.github.io for the new default colors. And colored hashtags are also a thing now. And text wrapping at 76 characters. #txtnix

It’s so much easier to stay under the 140 character limit when vim is showing you the column you’re in.

Be careful with those plot threads. Lose enough and resourceful characters will weave them into plot armor to protect against your writing.

I think that the 140 character limit for @twtxt is kind of dumb. /cc @buckket

Shogi
Kent’s latest hobby is to play Shogi. That makes me an obligatory player and fan as well since, just like chess, Shogi requires two players. We bought a cheap board from Amazon, but he has already stated that a better quality board and pieces is what he would want for Christmas (yes, he is already planning for it).

The game isn’t difficult to play, but I am having an excruciating hard time remembering each piece—labeled with kanji characters—and how they move. Ah, the j … ⌘ Read more

Great read about Character encoding http://t.co/9vQdl1BkGJ

Still playing
Yes guys and gals, still playing WoW and loving it. Tryggr on Argent Dawn is already at level 48 and things are getting harder. Lots of quests can’t no longer be done alone and it is hard to find good players to group.

Soon Blizzard will allow characters moving, from server to server as well as accounts merging. I might decide then to move to another server. I am not sure it is going to be a PvP one, Anthony :-)

I know, you are bored with my babbling about WoW. You will not know exactly what … ⌘ Read more

The reason of my absence
I have not been posting anything in here, and I am afraid it might not happen for a while now. The reason I have been (and will be) away is Wow ( World of Warcraft). I have been playing WoW for almost a month now and my character has so far reached level 41.

If you are playing WoW, I am on Argent Dawn, RP Server and my main character is Tryggr, a dwarf warrior. Get in touch! ⌘ Read more

Kent assumes the personality of a different cartoon character — or hero — every day. He seems to shuffle between Ninja Turtles, Batman, Danny Phantom, Robin (from “Teen Titans”), Jackie Chang and others. He has even been Spongebob Squarepants! Needless is to say we — Kim and I — are always the bad guys.

Today he decided he was a Ninja Turtle … ⌘ Read more
