Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-17

  • @twignest It borrows from Pocahontas, Dances W/ Wolves, Last Samurai, etc. It's a serviceable plot for a first "alien" encounter story. in reply to twignest #
  • @twignest W/ an eco-message & new-age (almost Wiccan) mysticism. People s/ see it for the magic of grand movie making, a quantum advance. in reply to twignest #
  • @KevinBreaux Somber day. Can't muster any excitement for the playoffs. Knew we were in trouble on Eagles Flight Night when Bradley went down in reply to KevinBreaux #
  • Spent a chunk of the day converting a client's legacy nested-table layout to css. Also, a belated podcast & mass mailing for another client. #
  • Anybody have list of publishers who are delaying (by months) the release of Kindle editions for fear of hurting h/b sales? #
  • Kindle users are giving Douglas Preston's IMPACT 1-star reviews on Amazon because Macmillan is delaying Kindle version 4 months. #
  • @DarkWoofer Yeah, I heard about Rowling. Didn't know about the other two. in reply to DarkWoofer #
  • @DarkWoofer I was iffy on reading Law of 9s based upon the mixed reviews. in reply to DarkWoofer #
  • @DarkWoofer Probably are a threat to bookstores, the way automobiles were a threat to blacksmiths. Stores need to have kiosks & be agents. in reply to DarkWoofer #
  • @DarkWoofer Publishers need to realize the cost of producing an eBook is infinitesimal. 1 = 1 million. A fixed cost, no variable costs. in reply to DarkWoofer #
  • Just wrapped up one client's electronic mass mailing. Soon time to get back to some web work. Any good books out there on Kindle formatting? #
  • Anyone have this Firefox issue: Forms ALMOST auto-fill. Yellow fields appear & then "stick" on the page and appear on every new tab screen. #
  • How many more millions of users does Blackberry need for their Desktop Manager & Media Manager software to install & work smoothly? #
  • Help: PC crash. No POST beeps or errors; just flashing cursor. Setup did show HD. Boot goes to floppy. Is this HD crash? Something else? Ugh #
  • @BrianKeene I'm used to getting a msg that the hard drive isn't found when they fail. Got into WIN. Backing up like crazy now. in reply to BrianKeene #
  • @jacobhaddon I'm printing out stuff, copying to another PC on my network, uploading to FTP, burning CDs. Worried about next reboot. in reply to jacobhaddon #
  • In the mess last nite, my ext'l HD died. Got new one at Staples (1TB for $109). Redoing last nite's backups. Still not sure about main HD. #
  • Kindle users: My new external HD takes up drives J: (software) and K: (storage). Can the Kindle move to L: w/o a hassle? #
  • Progress in small steps: got my Blackberry Facebook application working again. #
  • Kindle users: Anyone know if you can use rubbing alcohol on cloth to clean the Kindle screen of smudges? Manual silent. #
  • Another Dollhouse chock-full of awesomeness! DVR cut off finale preview. Is it 2 hrs? #
  • @adamreisinger I heard IN TWO WEEKS and AT A SPECIAL TIME and then it was cut off, so I didn't know if that meant 8-10. Or just 8-9PM. in reply to adamreisinger #
  • @twignest Are they moist? Or dry. I've had both for my LCD monitor. The moist clean better, but solvents can damage if not LCD specific. in reply to twignest #
  • @adamreisinger That would be ideal. But didn't FOX say they would never air Epitaph One? Or maybe that was their stance pre-cancellation. in reply to adamreisinger #
  • Went to visit a shelter dog in foster home; then back to many client web updates podcast mass mailing; catching up after hard drive woes. #
  • Heard on Slayerlit that Dollhouse finale is delayed from Jan 22nd to Jan 29th due to Haiti telethon on a slew of networks. Confirmation? #
  • @MikeMarano Thanks, Mike. in reply to MikeMarano #
