January 11, 2009 TechyDad This Week in Tweets

Ok, this game was really cool. Can you make it to the end? http://tinyurl.com/8bxawj #
I feel left out. No Phishing DMs sent my way. Either I’m unpopular with phishers (possible) or I just happen to follow some smart folks. 😉 #
Bed time. Weekend is over already. Why can’t we have 5 day weekends and 2 day work weeks? #
Ants are back. Worse than before. They’re all over my office floor including where I sit. They’re in my co-worker’s office. #
I called housekeeping 20 min ago and no response so far. We’ll see how long it takes them. If it gets to 1 hr, I’m going to call back. #
*Great* start to day. 1st ice everywhere. Almost slipped & fell. Next, ants. Then computer logged off & I lost FF session/all my open tabs. #
Office vacuumed. That should keep the ants at bay for a little while. No doubt there are ant-reinforcements waiting to march in, though. #
Ok, I needed a laugh. Thanks Stone Soup!!! http://www.gocomics.com/stonesoup/2009/01/05 #
Interesting. I tried to purposefully go to the fake twitter login page (just to see it). Site Advisor blocked it for being a phishing page. #
Then, when I bypassed Site Advisor, my office’s web filter blocked it as a phishing site. (Duh!) Nice job by both Site Advisor & Websense. #
Twitter Phishers coming from China? Access-Logins.com (the phishy domain name) is registered to zhang xiaohu in Hunan, CN. #
More evidence. His e-mail is listed as a “126.com” address. That domain name is registered to “Netease.com, Inc.” in Guangzhou, Guangdong CN #
Whois Record for Access-Logins.com: http://tinyurl.com/7kzzd4 For 126.com http://whois.domaintools.com/126.com #
Still laughing at this. http://twitpic.com/zwj9 #
Felt creepy-crawly. Checked the floor. Ants are back! Time to call housekeeping! #
Is thinking that, since @stkulp is home today. I should really move into her office for the day to get away from the ants. #
RT @onezenmom: Just in case you live under a rock and haven’t heard about the Twitter Phishing scam: http://preview.tinyurl.com/9rmfy6 #
Banana bread muffins in the oven. #
Banana Bread Muffins are done. Putting them away and then it’s WiiFit time! #
My WiiFit age is…. 24!!! I rocked those tests. I’m a whole 9 years younger. 🙂 #
Taking a couple minute break in my workout. Up to 41 minutes, but my legs felt like jelly on that last one. #
Not only am I working out, but I’m gathering data for a WiiFit web app. #
Did 47 mins of workouts. I’m going to put away the WiiFit & yoga mat & then head to bed. If my legs will carry me. Maybe I can crawl there. #
Body doesn’t want to move this morning. Could I have overdone my workout? [bugs_bunny]mmmmm…… Could be.[/bugs_bunny] #
Another morning spent huddled over my space heater to warm up. Turning the AC full-blast keeps the ants under control it seems. #
What a choice: freeze myself or be overrun with ants. #
Awful law to be passed in New Zealand. If you’re accused of copyright infringement/sharing files, your Internet is disconnected. #
Not proven in a court of law, accused. And there’s no appeals process either. #
I hereby accuse everyone in New Zealand of mass copyright infringement. #
Interesting. Found out that a co-worker might have Jewish ancestry. Her great-grandfather’s name was Mordechai. #
Ugh. Gmail won’t load for some reason. #
Yum! Banana Bread Muffins came out great! #
Anyone have any Must-Read articles I could show someone who isn’t up to speed on the Facebook-breastfeeding controversy? #
Thinking that I’ll need some extra SD cards for the Disney World trip. Might order a few from NewEgg.com tonight. #
Man, this game is just soooo challenging. http://www.mazapan.se/games/BurnTheRope.php 😉 #
Searching for how to rinse lentils. Making Sweet Potato & Lentil Stew for tomorrow night’s dinner. #
Anyone know of any good articles on the Facebook/Breastfeeding controversy? #
Working on a blog post about it and I wanted to link to some other articles on the subject. #
Found this while looking for breastfeeding photos that Facebook banned: http://is.gd/e8EP None look indecent or sexual in any way to me. #
Goodnight. Need some sleep to recharge and refocus my mind. (Here’s a hint: Never try to write a blog post while exhausted! 😉 ) #
Got into work ok. Saved some URLs in my draft post as refreshing would surely trigger work’s filter. Breastfeeding pics considered NSFW. #
The Ant-Slayer is here. Of course, with the freeze-out, I haven’t seen a single ant today. #
Is wondering how much Verizon charges for mobile web use. Probably more than Disney does for Internet use. #
To answer my own question on Verizon Wireless mobile web use, it’s billed by the MB, rounded up, at $1.99/MB #
A day of Disney World Internet costs $10. That’s 5MB of Verizon Wireless Internet usage. We could easily hit that. #
Plus, our cell phone would be tough to use for browsing. (Not a smartphone, just a LG 8350.) #
Need to find out whether we could get Disney Internet for some days and not others. #
Asked the office’s Resident Disney Expert and you *can* turn on Disney World Internet Access for some days & not others. #
Going to test wife’s camera’s batteries w/ a voltage meter at work tomorrow. Are batteries are really drained or is camera’s sensor wrong? #
I like big butts & I cannot lie. All you other brothers can’t deny. They’re healthy! … Wait, that’s not how it goes? http://is.gd/eLJI #
Working on my Facebook/Breastfeeding controversy post. My problem now isn’t rambling, but that I have a lot to cover. The post is too long. #
Think I’m going to break it up into parts. #
Ok, you know the country is in trouble when the Porn Industry needs a federal bailout: http://is.gd/eNPf #
Rethought breaking up the article. Going back to single article format. Almost done with it too. #
FF went back a page & I lost some of my Facebook/Breastfeeding post. Retyped it & almost done now. #
Think I’m going to turn in rather than complete it now, however. Getting really tired and hard to think straight. Night all! #
Morning all! Ant-Slayer was her yesterday, put down ant-bait, so of course tons of ants greeted me this morning. #
RT @TheDisneyBlog: The cast of Disney ABC’s Pushing Daisies is on Twitter – http://is.gd/eRHn – Is it too late to save the show? #
Trying to shake off sleepiness and get some work done. #
SQL Server is down here which means much of my development work can’t be done. ARGH! #
121 days until Disney World, 121 days. You take one down, pass it around…. #
RT @OwenC: Looks like Twitter had a “Delivery Delay” glitch they fixed yesterday: http://status.twitter.com/ Still seems whaled to me #
Calling all Pushing Daisies Tweeters! Tweet @abcinnercircle “Please bring back Pushing Daisies” #pushingdaisies #
Update: Calling all Pushing Daisies Fans! Tweet “@abcinnercircle Please bring back Pushing Daisies #pushingdaisies” (leave out the quotes) #
Finally finished my Facebook/Breastfeeding Controversy: A Dad’s Perspective post: http://www.techydad.com/?p=286 #
Forgot to work out last night thanks to writing my blog post ( http://www.techydad.com/?p=286 ). Got to make it up today w/ a 45min workout. #
WiiFit Workout done. 45 minutes of exercise goodness partially interrupted by JSL waking up. #
Rumbling tummy is insisting on a midnight snack, but I’m going to ignore it & instead drink some water before headed to bed. Goodnight all! #
QOTD: “We have to do it in the Facebook, with the Twittering, the different technology that young people are using today.” http://is.gd/eHWN #
Have you read “The Facebook/Breastfeeding Controversy: A Dad’s Perspective” yet? http://www.techydad.com/?p=286 #
Facebook’s Code Of Conduct ( http://is.gd/eZdL ): “you may not post or share Content that is … obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit” #
Breastfeeding isn’t obscene. It isn’t pornographic & it certainly isn’t sexually explicit. #
Some “barely there” bikinis show more breast than breastfeeding pics do. #
Can hardly keep my eyes open today. Freezing cold in my office & being huddled over the space heater isn’t helping. #
Is wondering if anyone would notice if I dozed off for a bit. My office door is closed thanks to the AC & I’m way in the back. #
Brother-in-law visiting & asked us to bring the Wii/WiiFit to my in-law’s house. Haven’t transported it before. Any Wii Transport tips? #
TweetBack plugin for WordPress looks interesting. I might just try it out http://is.gd/eY1S #
Wonder how automated Facebook’s banning procedures are. If I marked a scenery or topless guy photo as obscene would it be taken down? #
Is there any way to change what website Twhirl opens hash tags in? HashTags.org keeps giving 503 Service unavailable. #
Man did I overeat today. Why is it when I go to my in-laws’ house I lose all willpower? (Not their fault, mind you.) #
Definitely going to need my WiiFit workout tonight #
The WiiFit Plank is so not worth it. I spend 30 tortuous seconds doing it & only get 1 WiiFit minute credit? #
Ok, I know it was only a half minute workout but still it’s a tough one. #
WiiFit workout done. 47 minutes put in. Now to burn a photo-CD for my BIL & SIL. Oh yeah. And go to bed sometime before 1am. #
