  • Hey ho, off to work we go 🙂 Got some client work to finish in the morning and then complete work on the user management stuff in #Birdie .. #
  • Chatting with Norton support. My NIS 2009 subscription renewal key will not work 🙁 #
  • Well, that was fairly painless. They got me going in about 10 minutes and they even want to spend time educating me on updates 🙂 #
  • OK, basic friend/follower display and management is now in #Birdie. I need to refine it a bit before I release version 0.95 though … #

  • Doing debugging of Twitter Search API issues in #Birdie itself sucks. Created a new test app to make debugging easier. Let’s see … #
  • I will not follow anybody who cannot be bothered to at least replace the default avatar let alone fill in their Twitter bio 🙂 #
  • Dang it! The Twitter Search API returns minimal user info. So I have to change the #Birdie code to handle that. It’s never easy, is it? :p #
  • Well, “Dishyum” was a bust – bad disc. So now on to “Max Payne”. No opinion so far except that the sound levels are rather uneven 🙂 #
  • OK, “Max Payne” was terrible. I am not sure but I don’t think it was true to the video game either 🙂 #

  • Been coding most of the day, working on #Birdie. Got a couple of new features in and hope to have a public build out in a few days. #
  • Started watching “Aathi” after lunch. It’s kind of a masala movie with a couple of interesting twists. But overall, slightly improbable plot #

  • Wonder if the Internet issues with cut cables are over. Hope at least one more cable is back in operation because yesterday was bad … #
  • Was testing a bunch of different ways to do custom Chrome in Adobe AIR yesterday. Hope to implement one in #Birdie sometime today … #
  • Finally got custom chrome skinning on #Birdie working (almost) the way I want. 2-3 days of research and testing. Was it worth it? We’ll see. #
  • Hmm … Internet appears to have slowed down again. Guess everybody in Sri Lanka is up now 😀 #
  • About 3 days after the Internet outages started, I get an SMS news alert about the cables being cut. Well done! The news, it’s piping hot!! #
  • “Something, Something … Enakkum, Onakkum” was great! Even better than “Chillunnu Oru Kadhal”. Good to see two good Tamil movies together. #
  • OK, we’re going to watch “X-File” (singular) – at least, that’s what it says on the DVD menu. Guess, they must’ve lost a bunch of the files. #
  • So far, “X-File” has been really slow. Guess the missing files are affecting the momentum of the movie 😀 #
  • Well, that was more of an “Ex-File” rathan than an “X-File” – total waste of time and brain cells 😀 #
  • Watched part of “My Name is Bruce” to wash the taste of “X-Files” off my mind – and thsi movie should do the trick since it’s horribly bad:p #

  • According to the Twitter developers, you can only retrieve as much of your timeline history as is cached. But how much do they cache? #
  • So … apparently 3 out of 4 undersea cables connecting the Internet from Asia to America are mysteriously cut. No wonder it’s been slow … #
  • OK, watched “Alawar” and now on to “Chillunu Oru Kadhal”. The last one was atrocious but this might be OK. Opening is hopeful … #
  • “Chillunu Oru Kadhal” is one of the betterTamil films I’ve seen in a while and the cinematography is to die for – the colours are georgous. #

  • Another change to how the Twitter API works – or at least it looks like it. It’s hard to get good functionality with so many changes … #
  • Wish more Discworld fans followed @AnkhMorporkTime, then I’d be able to find other fans of PTerry 🙂 #
  • I just got a Jacquie Lawson e-card of bears playing in a philharmonic orchestra – I find it interesting and funny 🙂 #
  • RT @RetrevoATMA – Twitter Viral Experiment #TVE – Just retweet this message,after adding 1 to the number at the end(if it’s 3, make it 4):7 #
  • Aaargh! GoDaddy hosting control panel is the slowest thing in the world! A client uses them for hosting and I’ve been waiting 5 mins now … #
  • RT: @BearTwinsMom – Please vote for me in the 1st Annual People’s Health Blogger Awards http://beartwinsmom.wordpress.com Thank you!! #
  • “Max Payne” is out, we just saw Mark Wahlberg, “Death Race” is out we just saw Statham – @LMAshton picking movies to watch 🙂 #
  • “This one’s time travel, time travel has to win!”, “Against super-powered assassins?”, “Dammit!!” #
  • OK, after much debate, “Wanted” it is … #
  • And on to try our luck with “Babylon A.D.” … will it work and if it does, will we like it? 🙂 #
  • OK, we’ve gone through “Babylon A.D” and “Made of Honor” – both bad discs. Now trying “Smart People”. Think third time’s the charm? #

  • Spent most of my free time yesterday trying to figure out title bar skinning for Birdie. Still not getting close. Maybe today 🙂 #
  • Apparently the government is delaying on a supreme court decision to bring down gas prices – guess we know whose side they’re on … #
  • Woo hoo! Got the #Birdie skinning sorted out (mostly). I think it looks much better now but the new skin needs a bit more work … #
  • Watching “The Happening” – Shyamalan’s horror’s watered down so much (like his FX) that it makes you laugh maniacally at the stupidity :p #
  • On to “Transporter 3”. Hopefully, this takes the bad taste of “The Happening” away from my mind. But then again, it probably won’t … #
  • I must be getting old, I can’t seem to enjoy “Transporter 3” as much as the last two – or maybe it’s the bad sound levels …. #
  • Jason Statham used his coat, tie, and shirt to fight the bad guys. I don’t think he had to get this undressed in the previous ones 🙂 #

  • The new groups feature in #Birdie really helps me focus only on those tweets I’m really interested in – if I do say so myself 🙂 #
  • I really, really hate “known issues” which are not documented anywhre – especially on the developer’s site 🙁 #
  • Time to start winding down work 🙂 Have a download at 91% and it’s been running most of the day. Thunderstorm on the way. Hope no lightning. #

  • It’s morning over here and I’ve been up for about an hour already attending to e-mails. Where does all the time go? 🙂 #
  • Found an old collection of “Flash Gordon” strips for @LMAshton since we’re watching the TV show on DVD and she’s never read the comics … #
  • Dang, I haven’t checked Facebook in a few days and I’ve got 28 pending requests. While that might not be much for many, it’s too much for me #
  • Power went off suddenly and left us without Internet. Hate when that happens here … #
  • OK, got to tear myself away from Twitter since we have to go shopping for a new ADSL router. Be back later Twitterland 🙂 #
  • Time to install the new D-Link ADSL router. Hopefully, this one doesn’t get struck by lightning soon after it’s set up 😀 #
  • Try as I might, I can’t seem to update the firmware on the new router. Maybe somebody’s trying to tell me something? 😀 #
  • Apparently WSO and GA might not work well together (or at least, you have to set up differently) … who knew? 🙂 #
  • Version 0.94 of #Birdie (http://is.gd/8Uee) is now out with groups, filtering, a re-tweet button, and a bunch of fixes. #
  • Hmm … I’m now just 2 away from 200 followers. And to think I was under a 100 followers two days ago … #
  • Watching season 7 of “Scrubs”. I’ve missed this show. They’re always so off-the-wall crazy and funny 🙂 #
