Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-03

  • Eagles did their best to give me a heart attack today. Whew! #
  • @twignest It was kind of disjointed and odd. Not as good as Water/Mars. Hoping PT2 salvages it; hate to see DT & RTD go out on a down note. #
  • Anybody interested in buying a BlackBerry Curve 8310 (w Car Charger) out of contract? My eBay Listing: #
  • Wow! That was fast. My BlackBerry eBay listing was up for less than an hour when I got a BUY NOW sale. #
  • Received a $100 Amazon gift cert for Xmas, so I took the plunge & applied it to a Kindle 2. Hope I can embrace the new reading paradigm. #
  • @MikeAbrams The BB Curve 8310 (GPS) that I bought in DEC 07. When my 2 yr contract was up, I bought the BB Bold 9700. in reply to MikeAbrams #
  • @angiebatgirl I bought a lot of books lately… & I can use the Kindle in my web business – Kindle ebook conversions. Now I can test them! in reply to angiebatgirl #
  • @MikeAbrams Thanks, Mike. in reply to MikeAbrams #
  • @DarkWoofer That definitely appeals to my wife; she's needed reading glasses this past year. I have the opposite vision problem. in reply to DarkWoofer #
  • @jacobhaddon Glad you're enjoying your Nook! Hope I can adjust. I'm a book person. Save every book I read, but they're overrunning my house. in reply to jacobhaddon #
  • Any problem with the NE Blackberry AT&T G3 network? I'm getting EDGE instead of the usual G3 on my BB at this location. #
  • Naturally, I meant 3G not G3! Looks like it's back already. There had been 2 BB outages since I got my new Blackberry, assumed this was one. #
  • @twignest Hope so. It won't be cold turkey because I still have about 150+ PHYSICAL books in my TBR pile. in reply to twignest #
  • I'm going to assume that Paranormal Activity was scarier in a darkened theater than it is at home on the DVD player. Didn't = hype, for me. #
  • @twignest Any rhyme or reason to what is or isn't available for Kindle? Certain publishers or authors? Or recent releases only? in reply to twignest #
  • @twignest Interesting. Wonder if that's JKR's call. Sure she has total control. Publishers aren't happy re: discounts, but they make sense! in reply to twignest #
  • @twignest I had Mote in God's Eye & Lucifer's Hammer in my TBR pile about 20 years before I read them. When no "hope", I donate to library. in reply to twignest #
  • Wondering if I can finish UNWIND by midnight tomorrow to break my 27-year-old personal reading record. Probably should go for it. #
  • Broke my 27-year-old personal reading record today by finishing UNWIND. Great book if you like YA dystopian SF: #
  • Ordered Kindle 2 MON w/ Free S&H (S&H savings = 1 kindle book cost!) & it arrived today! New Year, new reading paradigm #
  • Kindle Q: Guide say Amzn charges a fee to xfer your docs thru kindle email acct via Whispernet. Anyone know HOW MUCH they charge for this? #
  • @jacobhaddon Yeah, I just saw that – if you download to your pc it's free, to the kindle, you pay. in reply to jacobhaddon #
  • @twignest Someone on Facebook (confirmed by another) says $0.15 per PDF conversion. in reply to twignest #
  • Happy New Year everyone (a little early). If you're celebrating away from home, be sure you designate a driver. Stay safe out there! #
  • Didn't want to buy Kindle cover until I had travel plans, but it's so sleek I worried about dropping it down stairs. Ordered black mEdge GO. #
  • Kindle Q: sent file for conversion to my free kindle addr. Get an email w/ link to D/L file. Takes me to login, but won't accept my login?? #
  • Kindle free-conversion problem I was having might have been Firefox or NoScript. I open the same link in IE7 and it opened a download box. #
  • @twignest Firefox took me to login then nohting; IE7 took me to login; I click it brings up the d/l box. Maybe NoScript blocks it in FF..? in reply to twignest #
  • Gearing up for client's weekly podcast & mass mailing. Trying to overcome holiday haze. Planned to see Avatar today, but now 1/9 likely. #
  • Kindle conversion (from ZIP w/ rejected CSS file) didn't work; HTML interspersed with text; sent a mobi version & that converted correctly. #
  • Bid farewell to David Tennant's DR WHO tonight. BBC-A's Demons? Mixed feelings… #
  • @jenwiehl I think it was Tennant's call to leave. My wife & daughter don't like what they've seen of the new doctor. in reply to jenwiehl #
