musings from 20081224 through 20100307

. So when I rebuilt my wordpress installation a few days ago, I had to reinstall Twitter Tools, the Twitter plug-in I use here. For some reason, it decided that every tweet I’ve sent since December 2008 is “new” and threw them all into a digest post. I’m leaving this, as it means I can purge the ridiculous one-line posts from the last couple years.
. Here’s every non-reply tweet that I’ve sent since December 2008:
- “Well, it sounds like her.. But then it really could be any chick with an asymetrical haircut and a decent voice” – Cat #
- Merry Christmas! #
- Cat points out that I actually work tomorrow. I meant that I’m off at six and don’t work Sunday. #
- “I really enjoy flinging the cow, even if I do suck at it” – Cat #
- “I’m too pretty to die; leave me alone!” – some guy #
