Uploading phptos from this weekend to Flickr #
Watching Airwolf from netflix on the xbox #
2minutes is a *really* long time if you have a screaming baby #
Just wrote a quick blog entry about how I like to use svn hooks: http://tinyurl.com/dk4wfe #
I can’t believe I actually did this…but I just purposefully clicked on a ad on a website. That’s the 1st time except in testing @GameSpot. #

Week 1 results: 6lbs. Not bad. Week 2 goals include hitting the gym more often. #
I’m awake but I haven’t made it out of bed yet. I’ve been on PTO for a week and last night was the only night I couldn’t sleep. Coincidence? #
@mager but mall cop wasn’t that great. Funny but not incredibly so. #
Breakfast at 3 cooks cafe in Petaluma. Best breakfast place I’ve ever been. #
Day 5: pretty good. Under the calories but didn’t make the gym. I’m optimistic this will stick this time. #
Talked to Denise & she said the helicopters overflew her school in Lafayette as well. Interesting… Onto news searches to find out more #
@gpbmike At first I thought one was crashing. Then surprisingly enough, there was a red dawn moment. I wish I got a picture of them. in reply to gpbmike #
Got a pic of the small helicopter that followed a few min later. I can still hear the transports in the distance. #
wow! Two large dual prop helicopters just overflew my house at like 300ft. Loud suckers. #
fail. no go on getting tidy installed on my laptop in time for the presentation. sucks to be me. #
wtf, now the laptop is asking me for the admin password to connect to a wireless network. arg!!! #
So very annoyed with my company installed laptop. #
took me forever to figure out which building on the sun campus is the ballroom. For those confused too (incl the security guard) its bldng 7 #
getting ready to leave for tonight’s #gbalampmeetup. hopefully i won’t get lost this time. #
Try to code up some examples before tonight’s meetup. I have code for how to use tidy, but nothing for why other methods fail. #
Day 4: Going pretty good. I’ve made the gym 3 out of the last 4 days. woot! Unfortunately pizza for dinner at the #gbalampmeetup #
Fail: some replies are missing that were there earlier tonight. Yes they are still on the sender’s tweets page. #
Day 3: dinner == fail. calories are close (within 25 of limit) but that’s not good. I’ll do better tomorrow. #
It’s hard to diet when there is a ton of snack foods around… Thank goodness dinner is almost ready. Smells yummy. #
@gpbmike I was using both for a bit but I found LiveStrong’s had more of the foods I eat. in reply to gpbmike #
@gpbmike I’m using livestrong.com’s iPhone app. So far the only thing I don’t like is that I can’t create a “meal” that combines ingredients in reply to gpbmike #
Day 3: so far so good. not eating too much & I hit the gym. Dinner is going to be iffy though. I think I’ll still be under though. #
Working on my presentation again for the #gbalampmeetup #
Cooking dinner @ Denise’s grandpa’s house. It’s a spicy pork & rice dish called “black death” it’s one of my favs. #
If it wasn’t for Akismet my blog would be filled with animal porn comments. I’m not sure why spammers think animal porn is a good match…. #
@larrrk you look like you were sleeping at the last #sfphpmeetup http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaeltougeron/3291454358/ #

Stopped the twittertools plugin

Michael Tougeron — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 17:47:07 +0000

I don’t know why but the twittertools plugin went crazy on me again yesterday. I turned it off and deleted the rogue postings. Sorry for the trouble and the spam to your RSS readers.

Watching some Robotech while waiting for WoLK to dl & install. #
ugh, i really need a better internet connection. 450 KB/s is not acceptable… #
Wait! The saints be praised! I just remembered the free 10 day trial in my inbox. woohoo! #
crude, just realized I need to buy Wrath of the Lich King in order to create a death knight. so much for that plan tonight… #
Just got a haircut #
omg, why can’t they make a new movie?!? why all the remakes? http://tinyurl.com/7mal84 #
way to go Google! http://tinyurl.com/89blxn #
@josh after listening to how he recaps the plays are you really that shocked? in reply to Josh #
I finally posted my first blog entry in several months. I’ve had several drafts going but I never finished any of them until lunch today #
@fiddlecub good luck! in reply to fiddlecub #
Darn this movie has a lot of brand advertising in it. #
Laughing my ass off while watching Tropic Thunder. The panda hat is so over the top. #
holy cow! nature.com has missed the concept of micro-transactions. $32 to read ONE article is insanely expensive! #
I really want a dog. But I have to wait a bit until Justin is older. #
dinner at Denise’s grandpa’s #
I ate way to much for lunch. Now I have to tackle food coma. #
Getting hungry. I think it is time for a late lunch. #
@gpbmike what’s wrong with dev data going live? it adds spice to the website. in reply to gpbmike #
woohoo! A nice 15% discount to @mysqlconf for the #sfphpmeetup and #sfmysqlmeetup groups. Thanks @oreillymedia & @marsee #
I think I need to make a coffee run during lunch today. Only sleeping 10 minutes of every 30 since 4am is killing me slowly… #
Nice! Tropic Thunder is showing up tomorrow from my Netflix queue. #
I made it to work on time today and even more surprising is that I’m leaving on time too. Does this mean I’m regaining my sense of time? #
reading up on beanstalkd #
so far only 2 things bugging me after switching to a mac. 1) the time is on the top right & 2) the keys to move on a line are different #
@mwhooker I have an empty box of claritin on my desk… but I don’t think that will help. in reply to mwhooker #
@jonursenbach yeah, but I decided it is easier to just run it via a RDP connection. in reply to jonursenbach #
doing planning and stuff. not very exciting but it is making me remember some fun features that have been on the back burner for a while. #

another day / another bad night’s sleep. I was paranoid that my eye was going to bleed again all night. #
yuck very gross. My eye just filled and started dripping blood. #
Probably shouldn’t be but I’m drinking Seghesio “Lumetta” Zinfandel. Pretty good. I really like the Zins from the Rockpile area. #
ack, my eye is itching like crazy right now #
time to ice my eye again. #
@JFP it isn’t so bad if you have a book or a movie to watch… in reply to JFP #
trying to play video games but my eye makes the screen awfully blurry. #
trying to figure out what to do today. I’m home alone and bored again. #
watching “Get Smart” with Steve Carell #
weird, my life revolves around June. Major June events for me: Got married, Justin was born, started work for CNET & CNET was bought by CBS #
I’m somewhat excited. I can see out of my right eye a lot better than the doctor implied before the surgery. Pretty blurry but not too bad. #
on my way home from the eye surgery. I feel like I’ve been punch in the eye by the heavy weight boxing champion. #
@JFP hope you feel better quickly. #
waiting in the doc’s office. Pretty bored. #
finally headed to bed. I need my rest before the eye surgery tomorrow. #
I agree with what http://apps.facebook.com/causes/143907 is trying to do, but they are doing it for all of the wrong reasons… #
