bonjour tweeps!! back in the office, yet it seems like I only just left…. #
@stuartmcintyre there is a nice ShareThis plugin for WordPress, makes it very easy. How easy is it for a Domino blog? #
Retweeting @linuxchic: “Overheard (same idiot): I’m American so I get what I want.” Ouch!! #
weather forecasters can’t make up their mind today, one says rain, another cloudy, currently we have clear blue skies!! #
@stuartmcintyre Nice one! looks like it is working fine #
@pedrorq you seem to be getting good at breaking xorg!! thx for the link #
@hortovanyi my login failed this morning too, but retried and was ok #
@hortovanyi @stuartmcintyre I’m using the 8.0.1 embedded ST client #
@chieftech Congrats on the house, now comes the fun of the move! #
@TomRaftery LOL re leaf-blower guy! I have the strimmer guy outside, carrying on where he left off yesterday, and the day before…. #
@hortovanyi @chrispepin is probably your man to ask #
@MattBrowne interesting stuff, especially given the news Canonical are working with IBM and will be including Symphony in the repositories #

@MattBrowne I long for the day I can go #MSFree with Ubuntu at work! #

buenos dias tweeps, going to be another hectic humid day here in Asturias! #
Retweeting @jonvon: russian girls racing in high heels. http://snurl.com/3b6vo some things are impossible to make up. #
oopps, limit exceeded error in @twhirl, twitter playing up again? #
@pedrorq re planetlotus, what took you so long!!? #
@chieftech good luck with SP3, not heard much good about it myself #
retweeting couple of Mac tips from @TomRaftery for those out there losing disk space http://snurl.com/3bl9t and http://snurl.com/3bl9x #
need more café before a call to review SAP data extracts…. #
Retweeting @vsmith1: @sscullion I have also found Omni’s OmniDiskSweeper to be useful #
planning travel for trip to Frankfurt next week, looks like going a day early could save quite a bit #
amazing photos http://tinyurl.com/5ov94h #
@TomRaftery ah! so you have noticed the volume here then! #
after locking WinXP, a java.exe memory allocation error, and the white screen of death, only app with a usuable UI is @twhirl! #
@stuartmcintyre LOL! I wish! Trying to shut down Notes 8 to see if that is the culprit. This is happening too often… #
like a reboot is the only solution, hibernate / resume didn’t fix it…. #
logoff / log in did the trick, screen became responsive at some point after crashed process had been killed I suspect…. :-/ #
@pedrorq I wish! Working on it though, maybe one day! #
@edbrill ¡feliz cumpleaños! So birthday drinks also at lepofsky-palooza!! #
@sogrady that is making my very envious! #
@stuartmcintyre though Mr @neilburston isn’t best known for keeping the twitterchannels zinging last tweet 86 days ago! give ‘im a prod! #
@chrisbrogan I suppose that depends who is calling me hot! Not so worried who is calling me cool! #
@benedictpoole ah, well @woowar ¡feliz cumpleaños! to you too then sir! #
@benedictpoole re the beer, ROFL!! #
@hortovanyi some interesting articles on initiatives towards going #MSFree http://snurl.com/3braf #
Cool! Lotus Symphony 1.1 will be available through the Ubuntu repositories by the end of August! #MSFree #
@stroker yes, I’d heard the rumour, just hope its at the expense of MS Office 2007! Or were you refering to a new Ubuntu SOE!? #
@Phigment I guess time will tell, but seeing IBM and Canonical publicly working together has got to be positive #MSFree #
@stroker ummm, kinda defeats the object surely? #
@stroker all the more reason to simplify via Ubuntu then! I can feel myself building up the desire to do this! #
travel approved for trip to Frankfurt, updating @Dopplr #
I’m knocking today on the head, have a good one tweeps #
