This week in Tweets

April 5, 2009 TechyDad This Week in Tweets

40 Days until Disney World trip. NHL upon being told that on the way to school: “WOW! That’s really close!” #
Was offline (or at least off-Twitter) most of the weekend figuring out Passover recipes and stuff. #
Thinking of getting some Quinoa for Passover. It’s a seed, but acts like rice when cooked. Need to find Quinoa not “contaminated” w/ Chometz #
Just added Security Freeze on my final credit file. Need to request some free Annual Credit Reports next. #
So close to my weight loss goal. I began on Dec 7th at 208. Now at 188. Goal is 185 by Disney trip (5/9). 3lbs to go in 6 weeks. #
I tend to eat worse during Passover so it may be a stumbling block. I’ll have 3 weeks to lose Passover weight before my Disney trip, though. #
Passover coming up. Anyone know of any good spreads to replace Hummus? Perhaps something cauliflower or hummus based? #
Might need to recode my entire Twitter App’s processing page. Did some PHP coding (instead of ASP) for it last night, & it ran in 3 seconds! #
That section of the application usually took over 3 minutes. #
RT @OhNuts: Smart fryer uses a mere tablespoon of olive oil to make chips http://adjix.com/x888 <= I’d consider buying 1 when price is less. #
RT @mike_elgan: Now you can get a Master’s Degree in Twitter! http://tinyurl.com/cldh8n <= I’m waiting for the PhD so I can be Dr. Tweet 😉 #
How do you get PHP/Curl to stop sending the 100-Continue header? Tried curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, array(‘Expect: ‘)); to no avail. #
RT @mike_elgan: Saudi article scandalized by women-only coffee shops http://bit.ly/19LEGg <= Women laughing = evil? Glad I live in USA. #
Love the Seth McFarlane/Hulu commercial. “Because we’re aliens. *Mmmmm* Giggedy!” #
Made some major progress on my Twitter App. Still have a lot to go, though. Going to recode nearly everything into PHP. #
For now, though, I’m too tired to focus. Goodnight all! #
April Fool’s Day looks like it’s going to be fun…. Super Pii Pii for the Wii?!! http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/superpiipii.html #
Great. Time Warner Cable is expanding their “consumption billing” tiers. Basically, you pay huge fines if you go over your monthly cap. #
The caps they offer are 5, 10, 20, & 40GB. 1 HD movie download can be 8GB. Add in music, Windows updates, etc & overage fees can get pricey. #
Have you seen @TheAngelForever’s & my April Fool’s Joke? http://www.TechyDad.com/ & http://www.TheAngelForever.com/ or was it vice versa? #
Guess it is time to switch TechyDad.com and TheAngelForever.com back to normal. #
…and the blogs are back to normal now. #
RT @mike_elgan: Does Twittering at work make you a better employee? http://is.gd/qjfM <= Someone (not me) show this to my higher-ups! 😉 #
Via @OwenC: Report: Google in ‘late-stage’ talks to buy Twitter http://tinyurl.com/chsqvf <= Google & Twitter would go well together. #
RT @LanceUlanoff: Okay, quick survey: Who among you believes Google is Buying Twitter and who thinks it’s pure bunk? #
Looks like Sedar at my wife’s aunt’s house is falling through. Going to do Sedar at my in-law’s now. Need to come up w/ a meal plan quickly. #
Chicken’s pretty much a given. Simple Italian dressing marinade. Roasted sweet potatoes w/ EVOO, salt & pepper. Perhaps Quinoa pilaf. #
Salad to begin with. Gefilte fish. Perhaps a soup (not sure what type though). #
If I make enough, we can do the leftovers (plus maybe one extra entree) for the second sedar. #
This Quinoa pilaf recipe looks good: http://is.gd/qylR #
What are your favorite #Quinoa recipes? Preferably ones that are kosher for Passover! (No grains, legumes, or corn.) #
RT @RonisWeigh: Quinoa for breakfast anyone? http://is.gd/qyrM #recipe #food <= This sounds delicious & Kosher for Passover! #
Wow. I added a Quinoa search to my Twitter stream and it’s taking over. Apparently, a lot of people like talking about #Quinoa! #
