Daily Twitter Chatter for 2009-07-07

• Off to the doctor. Something is wrong with my face. Long story. #
• When you find blood in your beard and your face hurts even though you never cut yourself something is wrong. #
• And i have a really irritated patch of skin the size of a quarter. #
• @ruchirfalodiya doesn't india make better movies? #
• at home again. I have drugs for my face. #
• Power just went out. Fail! #
• @farhank apparently i got a sun burn under my beard and then it got infected when it tried to peal. #
• @farhank yes you have big luck. I get to take four pills every twelve hours. #
• @elliott94 yup. It hurts just to touch my beard even lightly. #
• @darrell do you have a link for wma support? My university uses that. Might be convinced to buy one when that comes out. #
• @elliott94 no, not at all. #
• @lulukeel feel better! #
• @mektastic i feel like a real jerk for not giving a darn about it and secretly wishing people would stop tweeting about it. #
• @darrell: Thanks for the info. I will wait until it really happens before I put my money down. Trust GW Micro, but I don't trust Microsoft. in reply to darrell #
• Playing with the new #qwitter in SVN. big big big win! Followers, filters, friends, trends! My API limit is getting strained. #
• I now have a #spymaster filter. Will #qwitter even exclude my own complaining about #spymaster? #
• No, it seems to do the right thing. I do not want my own tweets filtered out of my timeline. #
• @farhank: Dude, it's just a new release of the OS, and a rebranding of Nokia. I'm sure Talks will be updated for the new phones. in reply to farhank #
• apparently, booksense doesn't work with OS X. Neither does stream, but a card reader can be used. Booksense internal memory can't be used. #
• @elliott94: You need an SVN client first. Then you need python and all its dependencies. in reply to elliott94 #
• @starburst85: Probably. I'd be looking for excuses too, accept I have KNFB so I need to keep my n82 for ever and ever and ever and ever. in reply to starburst85 #
• @farhank: Yes you do. You want to buy a brand new blackberry. in reply to farhank #
• Apparently Ontario Health would like me to get a Mumps shot right away, and wants to know why I didn't do it months ago. Huh? First I heard! #
• @amyb0223: Why is that wrong? Every ethnicity cares about MJ. Only Americans care about former presidents. Less nationalism, please. in reply to amyb0223 #
• @darrell: I want a guide horse, just because I want a horse. Bringing my horse to work would be awsome! I have all the wrong reasons. in reply to darrell #
• rt @arm4r: @BlindTwit Why is there no Beatles-related account called tweatles? #
• @darrell: That's what I would think But I can say from experience that the mac can't see or work with my stream at all. I need a card reader in reply to darrell #
• @farhank: I got one. But apparently I need two. Based on the tone of the message, bad times will occur if I don't get another one right now. in reply to farhank #
• @awallens: control windows slash, and type in those tags as the search string. You'll get a new buffer with the results. in reply to awallens #
• @coderunner: Yikes! I don't even remember getting those shots. Only reason I know I got them is because they're listed on my medical records in reply to coderunner #
• @kevinrj: I am one. Best reality check I found was using a phone or computer. If it works as expected, I'm awake. in reply to kevinrj #
• @coderunner: Wow, I usually have over 50 things on my desktop. in reply to coderunner #
• I feel like an idiot. Apparently, I was sent six emails about MUMPS and how I should get a shot, starting in Feb. #
• I searched my gmail, and found all six. So…how did I miss them? I don't remember reading them at all! So confused. #
• @plumlipstick: Doubt it. No matter how much you educate me about your guide spider, I will still be terrified of it and unable to help you. in reply to plumlipstick #
• off to eat dinner. #
• @mektastic: http://www.qwitter-client.net in reply to mektastic #
• Oh man these pills for my face are making me so sick. Good grieff this is not not not not not cool. #
• @farhank: Stomach bad times. They listed that as a side effect, but I wasn't worried because everything says that. But they weren't kidding! in reply to farhank #
• feeling sick and watching baseball. #
• @starburst85: It's these drugs I got put on for my infection that are making me really sick to my stomach. in reply to starburst85 #
• @farhank: No, it's all going right through and coming out the other end viciously. And my stomach is burning. in reply to farhank #
• @farhank: I know. Why do all these stupid things happen to me? in reply to farhank #
• rt @kevinrj: "The bible teaches how to go to Heaven, not how the heavens go." Galileo Galilei #
• @darrell: I was just using that as an example. Many people have dog fobias as strong as my spider fobia. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: What do you do with someone who is paralized by fear of your service animal? They can't help it. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: Many, for example, have had a bad experience as a child, perhaps attacked by a badly trained dog. in reply to darrell #
• @arm4r: if you had a guide spider, I would be much to afraid to drive you safely. Someone terrified of dogs should refuse if it's not safe! in reply to arm4r #
• @darrell: The spider was an example. My fobia is spiders, so it's easy for me to emagin the difficulties of someone with a dog fobia as bad. in reply to darrell #
• @charmarie: I have no idea. Some kind of antiinfection thing. in reply to charmarie #
• @darrell: But if your a cabby, resisting the fear effects your driving. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: Don't know about you, but I don't want a ride where the driver is quaking in fear of a dog he can't refuse. in reply to darrell #
• @arm4r: Your synicism makes life suck for the rest of us, though. I feel sorry for blind people with dog fobias who wanted to attend #acb09. in reply to arm4r #
• @darrell: You're also saying the person with the fobia must take the full impact of your disability. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: They have to do all that, and you don't even need to give notice that you have a dog, and will call the police if not taken. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: So you don't notify, and someone with a previously documented fobia is dispatched for you. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: He refuses so you call the police. How is that fair? You must take responsibility for your dog and notify in advance at all times! in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: If you expect someone with a fobia to take the responsibility of having a doctors note, I expect you to take responsibility too. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: The way you do that is by notifying the cab company of the dog! Then the dispatch knows to send aa fobia free cabby. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: Maturity demands not throwing a tantrum and calling the police when you didn't give the company info required to meet your needs. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: A wheelchair user doesn't get to call the cops when she doesn't notify the cab company, and they send a car too small for her. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: I don't see how guide dog users are any different. To have your needs met, you must provide information required to do so. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: How does it open things up? The company must send a cab. Why do you care if some drivers get the opertunity to refuse? in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: Sure it is. A driver without fobias or alergic reactions is a physical accomodation needed for a guide dog user. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: To ensure you get the accomodation you need, you must notify in advance. If you don't, it's your own fault. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: It's not the fault of driver or cabby, because you refused to tell them you needed anything. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: I know for a fact it is possible at an airport. Wheelchair users must and do. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: Then that delay is descrimination. Take it to court. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: No matter how it's documented, your refusal to notify in advance means the documentation does no good. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: You can call for a cab at an airport. And multiple cabs are at that stand, so if one refuses for good reason, take the next one. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: If the law does not, in my opinion it certainly should. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: You take the cab company to court. Figuring out where it's happening and stopping it is there problem, not yours. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: I can ask my wheelchair bound girlfriend for the exact process she needs to take in Canada, if you need to know. But she does it. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: And guide dog users require a special type of driver: one without documented fobias or alergic reactions. Same thing. in reply to darrell #
• @awallens: If you're out and about with a dog, you need to phone for a cab, not grab a passing one. Wheelchair users must do the same. in reply to awallens #
• @awallens: He has civil rights to a safe workplace. If he is alergic, or fobic and unable to drive safely, your dog violates his rights. in reply to awallens #
• @awallens: Your rights do not trump his. That's why you notify in advance, so everyone's rights can be protected. in reply to awallens #
• @darrell: Congress doesn't seem to listen to Canadians. and AFAIK, Canadian law already is that way. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: Not sure. It doesn't and she can't, so that hasn't come up. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: She requires a spicific type of equipment, and you require a spicific type of driver. They're exactly equal. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: Why shouldn't wheelchair, too? Remember: life isn't fair. Deal. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: The fact that your refusal to notify in advance makes documentation useless! You don't notify, so you get a driver who can't take! in reply to darrell #
• @awallens: Not really. It just saves hard drive space, is all. in reply to awallens #
• @darrell: True. But moving closer by heartlessly trampling the rights of others for our own gain is not acceptable. in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: True, true. And I suspect our mutual followers are sick of us both, by now. LOL in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: We should exchange contact info, and perhaps move some of these long discussions off twitter? in reply to darrell #
• @awallens: Close qwitter, and go to %appdata%\qwitter and delete qwitter.db. in reply to awallens #
• @awallens: You'll only save 2 or 3 megs at most. Text is really small. in reply to awallens #
• @awallens: Uh, my bad. The file you should delete ends in .db. It should be your user name.db. in reply to awallens #
• @darrell: Canadian guide dog law does not require notification http://bit.ly/B19DW in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: Believed it did because everyone I know does it. in reply to darrell #
• @awallens: It'll delete it all, then redownload recent items from twitter. in reply to awallens #
• I've been wrong about something I thought correct twice tonight. I blame the fact that these pills make me feel like crap. #
• @serrebi: Whoever that is, I don't know her. in reply to serrebi #
• @arm4r: I'm not saying you don't have reasons. The fact that you have reasons doesn't make it suck less, you know. in reply to arm4r #
• @arm4r: If they aren't, I fail to understand the difference. Assuming the worst of everyone is rude to those of us who don't deserve it. in reply to arm4r #
• @arm4r: Procedures like what? in reply to arm4r #
• @darrell: Yes. I'm not a lawyer, but I assume if it's not mentioned at all, it's not required. in reply to darrell #
• @arm4r: And guide dog users cannot ride with certain drivers. I still don't see the difference. in reply to arm4r #
• @arm4r: Yes, but Toronto is also a multiethnic city with large numbers of dog-hating cultures. in reply to arm4r #
• @arm4r: It's not, so long as the driver has the right to refuse and get you another cab, without legal liability. in reply to arm4r #
• @arm4r: Accept, of course, that driver is paid by the fair, not the hour. You just wasted drivers time that he won't be compensated for. in reply to arm4r #
• @darrell: Not at all the same thing. And the comparison of those with alergic issues to slave traders is completely offensive. in reply to darrell #
• @Brandon_h: Try Adium or Syrinx. They both rock. in reply to Brandon_h #
• @arm4r: From what I know and have seen, they have no right to refuse no matter what, even if alergic reaction could endanger there health in reply to arm4r #
• @arm4r: Am I wrong? I hope so. in reply to arm4r #
• What's the longest #baseball game ever played in the #MLB? does anyone know? #
• @darrell: But if I understand your previous tweets, you would call the police on them. That sure seems demanding. in reply to darrell #
• @arm4r: But how can they prove it to you? And it seems to me by not notifying you failed to do your part. in reply to arm4r #
• @arm4r: For cab drivers, I have problems with that. If fear or alergic reaction effects driving ability. in reply to arm4r #
• @arm4r: When a cab driver is distracted by fear or alergic reaction, you put him, yourself, and other drivers at risk. in reply to arm4r #
• Why am I having a three hour twebate about guide dogs? I don't even have a dog, or a dog fobia. Most pointless tweetstream ever! #
• @arm4r: But you just said they don't generally have the right to do that for alergic reactions and fobias. in reply to arm4r #
• @arm4r: Yes, it is. If driver is afraid of your dog, and crashes because of fear distraction… #
• @fastfinge: Last tweet should have been a dm. I'm a moron. in reply to fastfinge #
• I wish I could review my sent direct messages in #qwitter. Having several dm exchanges, and it's hard to keep track. #
• Is it just me, or does anyone else feel really proud when something they wrote comes out at exactly 140 characters without editing? #
• @darrell: Robodog? What about the people who say they are alergic to wireless internet radio waves? Yes, these people do exist. in reply to darrell #
• @Mongoose_Q: Uh, Chriss? Buddy? How stoned are you tonight? destiny, he says! Pah! Free will is the thing. LOL in reply to Mongoose_Q #
• @Mongoose_Q: I'm sorry. My meem plexes disagree violently with you. They say I have free will. in reply to Mongoose_Q #
• @Mongoose_Q: *woosh* in reply to Mongoose_Q #
• @kevinrj: That isn't at all cool. Because the only thing that compiles perfectly first try will have an infanit loop, in my experience. in reply to kevinrj #
• @darrell: I'll put money down on totally inaccessible, like google wave, calendar, etc. But I'd like a hedge bet on third party software. in reply to darrell #
• @bardsong: I know journalists do. If it's not well written, I won't read it. and I don't mean flashy and stylized. in reply to bardsong #
• @bardsong: I just want writing that gets the job done, and leaves me to enjoy the story without attracting attention to itself. in reply to bardsong #
• @bardsong: Mercedes Lackey, Piers Anthony, Robert Asprin, Robert Heinlein, John Ringo are all good examples. in reply to bardsong #
• urgent: it is bedtime for fastfinge. Unconfirmed sources quote him as saying, "I should be in bed." details soon. #
• @bardsong: Yeah, some really good writers bother me that way. I keep saying: "beautiful phrase!" but it distracts me from the story. in reply to bardsong #
• update: @brandon_h made a post expressing disinterest in recieving details on fastfinge's bedtime. Follow us for more on this breaking story #
• @darrell: This is the kind of thing that happens to me when I get over tired. Do you ever do that thing where you narrate your actions? in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: IE: "finishing his drink, he stands up and walks across the room." muttered under your breath when you do it? I do that when tired in reply to darrell #
• @darrell: Don't even realize it most of the time. People give me strange looks. in reply to darrell #
• @bardsong: Excuse me? I have a laptop in bed, you know. And twitter on my phone. Why should I stop twittering just because I'm asleep? in reply to bardsong #
• I think it's amusing that goodnight is a trending topic on twitter right now. #
• @farhank: Your sister is going to eat two drumsticks? Uh, wow. in reply to farhank #
• @farhank: Also, I will sign up to a mud with the name Major Drumstick Failure. Then I will attack all the other players. It'll be fun times. in reply to farhank #
• @bardsong: It's probably trending because we all say goodnight, tweet for another hour, say goodnight again, tweet for another hour, repeat. in reply to bardsong #
