good morning twitterverse! the sun is out again in Delaware, though a little chilly at the moment #
@scastledine oh boy! Carter USM, now that doesn’t bring back any memories! #
@agberg poor chap! At least he’s old enough to express himself tho, its tough when they’re younger and can’t communicate whats up! #
gmail seems to be working again in Flock, I’m very happy to be able to close IE7!! #
@martin_english g’day from the US! #
@chessasilva oh the joys of Windows! I’d have lost patience and pulled the plug by now! #
@gialyons I have tried to explain that to my brother, his initial response "I don’t want a blog, I want a website"! #
@gialyons precisely, I had to try to get him out of the minset that blogs are for geeks! #
@andypiper thats what I suggested, close comments and you’re off and running! #
@scastledine @andypiper @gialyons I have also promoted using the domino blog template as the basis for a CMS to clients #
@andypiper @gialyons @scastledine I think though, the word "blog" causes problems for some. #
@qtzar agreed, but many modern blog platforms offer good CMS functionality out of the box too, which often gets overlooked IMHO #
@LotusEvangelist isn’t it all held in an nsf locally? at a guess would say file > app > new copy #
@LotusEvangelist LOL! #
@folgueras me encanta the spanglish! #
@alanlepo make and model? I assume it’ll do the same for beer! I want one! #
@benedictpoole LOL! Great minds! #
@stoweboyd nope, not at the moment #
@jeffnolan @stoweboyd but I understand its the twiiter api limit, not @twhirl itself causing the problem #
@jeffnolan interesting, are you hitting the api with the same regularity when using snitter? #
@gialyons I like that approach, good way of explaining and demonstrating the value in one go. Will have a go at applying! #
@alanlepo not so interested, prefer the tweeting fridge! #
back from a great lunch, found a mexican place that had been recommended #
@sdownes1972 sounds like a plan, enjoy!! #
@chrispirillo thats a tidy URL, you having fun!? #
@chessasilva I find myself doing the same, I always have way too many words, and I hate wordy slides! #
@LotusEvangelist I suggest they use something like #admin2008 to be follwed at http://hashtags.org/ #
@Soulsailor hey looking forward to that! #
flock has just crashed on me for the second time today, strange #
@chrispepin the link for the Samsung LCD TV is crashing my Flock browser, has it got anything wierd on it? #
2144: Penalty to Chelsea #
2-1 Chelsea !!! Yeeeeeessss!!! #
q from a friend re Twitter "so quicky what is the deal with it?" How do I respond, with "just try it and see"? I sound like a drug dealer! #
big welcome to my latest follower @delboycarter #
what nerves, 3-2 :-/ #
FULL-TIME Chelsea 3-2 Liverpool AET (agg 4-3) #
time to pack up and find food, but need to do shopping first #

Morning all, another workshop day ahead. Had a great meal last night at the Washington Street Ale House in Wilmington. #
@Bigoceans Congratulations! Well done, and looking forward to hearing all about it! #
@lekkim @LotusEvangelist so not quite write once, run in both yet then :-/ #
@philrandolph have fun, at least the weather has perked up, I was there Sunday, grey and damp, still, was nice to see the sites! #
just given the demo of our Blackberry interface for a Domino app, it was very well received. #
any recommendations for dinner around the Wilmington, DE, area? #
@CoreyDavis thats mean!! Now I’m going to think I missed something!! #
@Soulsailor re the dilema, easy solution, "do both!" #
@CoreyDavis thanks anyway, I’m sure we’ll find something! Last night we had a great meal at the Washington Street Ale House http://tinyu … #

back from a damp afternoon in Washington DC, it was good to see one of the most famous film sets of all time! #
I need to blog about my adventures over the last few days, but i’ll have to wait, logging off to watch some baseball and have an early night #
@dhinchcliffe my forst thought when I saw brightkite was "this should be in dopplr!" #
breaking for a bit in the workshop I’m involved in this week #
boy do i dislike blogger.com’s comment system #
for some reason I expected Quickr 8.1 Entry edition to be one I could run locally, have offline access, etc. But doesn’t seem to be the case #
my gmail is hiccuping big time, it seems stuck in some infinite refresh loop! #
@curiousmitch thx, but didn’t seem to make any difference…. :-/ #
so gmail seems broken in Flock, it works in IE, Grrr!!! #
@Soulsailor we raced everywhere, even against the clock when cruising on the south coast! #
@LotusEvangelist shouldn’t @lekkim’s TwitNotes plugin work in Sametime as well as Notes 8? #
@LotusEvangelist I guess the theory is it should work, but yes, @lekkim would have to confirm, I broke my install in LN and havent fixed yet #
@chieftech did you get told about http://ideajam.net/ re web2.0 idea management tools? #
@chieftech oh, and good morning! I hope the new arrival is wrapped up warm! #
calling it a day, off to find food I guess! #

@hortovanyi unfortunately travelling so will have to wait impatiently to get home before I can upgrade, meanwhile suffering XP for work :-/ #
@folgueras pasadlo muy bien, un saludo desde EEUU! #
@lekkim not that I’m jealous, no, no, not at all! LC2.0 looks neat from what i’ve seen #
@linuxchic are the lads enjoying it tho? I hope you have them helping out!! #
@yourdon i hope its a decent Rioja at that price! #
@Phigment LOL! I have given up trying to catch up! FeedDemon’s "Panic" button works wonders in that department! #
@sdownes1972 congrats, ITIL + collab tech should make for an interesting mix of conversation! #
@ryanstewart yes, I’m looking forward to having a play with Wubi, looks interesting #
email dealt with, what next? #
need to take a break, I have a very stiff neck and shoulders, must have slept awkwardly last night #
is there not a setting in Flickr to order your photostream by the date the phitis were take, not the order they were uploaded!?? #
