The monks only leave the field for one hour each day to follow earthly urges.↵They weave their lives into the Dream and dream of its fabric.

When a storm has a flash of insight, it is followed by thunder. I ask, have you ever thundered with your brain? HAVE YOU?

I’m contemplating a announce_following option, disabled by default, to to anounce follow and unfollow commands in your twtfile.

I caught a cloud in the park this one foggy morning and took it home. Still shows no signs of dissipating and follows me around the house.

“For a proper dance, children, the down must follow the up and be enclosed by a swirl.” “What if I do a little jump there?” “NO NO NO WRONG”

My new hobby: Following other people’s “Discover weekly” playlists on @Spotify

@allgebrah when my “parapsychology of speech recognition” tweet draws an AI newsletter bot follower↵is this what they call intersectionality

part 3: make ‘tf’ run ‘twtxt follow “$@”’

My site has made me really lazy with how I follow people on twtxt

@buckket did you consider having [following] in the twtxt file itself, so people could see who other people were following?

@ruebot I kinda wish the config was part of the twtxt file, so you could see who people are following

When the cheese factory burned, molten cheese flooded the streets and swallowed the slow. The fondue party that followed became a legend.

From the project’s success follows crushing uniformity. From its failure, we become richer in culture and mythos.

Gmail.app on iOS
I like Google and its services. Like is too little, I love them! Their mobile applications on the other hand — specifically those running under iOS — are horrible. The UIX is confusing and it does not follows Apple UIX design. Their choice of font is of poor taste and, again, does not match the rest of the OS. They lack of functionality and/or their functionality is limited by poor choices and, what is seems to be, a lack of common sense. I could describe and point out the problems on any of the … ⌘ Read more

Bright House saga
In two occasions I have written about Bright House service, or the lack of. Ever since my last entry, many issues aroused, but I never came here to document them.

They vary, and cover a wide range. So many Bright House technicians has passed by my house, I lost count. The proverbial “how many technici … ⌘ Read more

Bright House follow up
You will remember my previous Bright House post. The same day I wrote that, I got a call from a Bright House customer service representative. Since there is no need to know names, let’s call her Christine. I like that name.

Christine told me Bright House was aware I had publicly written about my displeasure with their services, and that her job was to make sure I was completely satisfied. Fair enough. After patiently listening … ⌘ Read more

Aion, the WoW killer
Aion isn’t out yet for North America or Europe, but has already caused long time WoW players to quit. That is what my household has done, ending the life of two, four years old, accounts.

Beta 4 is coming up, July 17th and we can hardly wait. Preorder will give you access to the beta, so go ahead! Simply Google Aion and follow the appropiated link.

While we wait, it feels good to be out of WoW. Really liberating! ⌘ Read more

I just hope…
I just hope she doesn’t win. I am talking about politics, if you are following the news, you know who I am talking about. Hard not to follow politics these days, but you never know.

Yes, I hope she looses.

Update 06 March 2008

She didn’t loose. She won three states. Obama still leads on delegates. There is still hope. ⌘ Read more

Ebay feedback blackmail
If you do business on Ebay, whether you are power seller with your own store there or simply a John Doe such as myself, please follow the following etiquette:

• If you are selling, and the item(s) you sold get paid (right away or in a timely manner), leave your feedback right away. No need to wait till the buyer leaves his. Doing so is bad, really bad.
  
• If you are buying, wait till the item arrives and then leave a feedback accordingly. Consider communication with the seller, q … ⌘ Read more

USA PATRIOT Act
A lot has been said and written about the “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act”, commonly known as USA PATRIOT Act, but they are quite diverse interpretations —some biased—, mainly because the whole Act is written on 300 pages of legalese. Recently I found the Electronic Frontier Foundation page about such Act, which sums it up in the following points (as far as why should … ⌘ Read more

They advertise with the best
Imagine my surprise when I saw the following Google Ad showing under one of my posts this morning:

[Was a screenshot of a Microsoft MSN advertisement on Google]

I guess Microsoft knows who is the best, right? I mean, the only way to see that advertising (other than serving adds on your own web space) is by searching the web using Google. I think it is funny… and interesting. ⌘ Read more

Screw SPEWS
Recently I found out that my existing server IP—the server I am moving away from—is banned on SPEWS (I am not linking them, Google it and you shall know), because it is assigned to UUnet, which is blamed of harbouring spammers. Following the recommendation of the bounced email I posted on Usenet, asking to be removed, without knowing at that time that it was something out of my h … ⌘ Read more

Parsing PHP code
I am trying to implement a little hack that will allow the use of PHP code within posts. Since I am the only “author” here, I do not think that will bring much of a security risk. This post is intended to test this hack. I will try the following, < ?php echo(“This hack has worked”); ?> to see if it does the trick. And here it goes:

This concludes this test. ⌘ Read more

About the spanish elections
The overturn of the elections in Spain was driven by several factors. Leftists accused the PP (Popular Party) of lying and one have to assume that socialists voters believed it. Aznar got Spain into a war that was considered by many as non-needed, following an agresive and self-centered ideology.

The truth is that while the war was out of spanish campgrounds everything was limited to talks about veracity of the (war) facts, justice and geostrategy. But for most of the vote … ⌘ Read more

Iraq, are we going to war?
If you have been following the news you already know about the Iraq situation. You might still be asking yourself why are we building up such a massive military power in the area, that is, Middle East. Right, you are not questioning that, since you know the answer: we are going to war. What you might be thinking is whether or not we should be there, should we care. All valid questions.

Why Iraq, when no one has yet to see a proof of it’s nuclear/chemical, “weapons of mass … ⌘ Read more
