Email of the morning

I love waking up to the late night emails from octopoid_horror:

I was about to send you a link to the somewhat weird blog of a somewhat unstable guy who had a disabled fiance, had multiple realdolls that he had sex with and referred to as his girlfriends and was lonely becaose he was a mac user and everyone else used PCs...

but then I figured telling you about it would give you the same experience but without creepy pictures of realdolls dressed up in scabby old t-shirts posed with bags of snack food.

Wednesday night - breasts and Twitter thoughts

Over at Julie's, where we've just had lovely chicken breasts for dinner.

I'm borrowing her desktop while she surfs from the laptop on the sofa behind me.

And I'm thinking about Twitter, Facebook, micro-updates, and the like.

I have Twitter feeding from my FB Status updates.

I have my friends FB status updates feeding to Bloglines via RSS.

But I don't have my friends Twitter statuses feeding out to an aggregator. And if I did, I'd want to make sure that I wasn't just seeing the same ones I was already seeing from Facebook (for those people that are feeeding from FB->Twitter as I am).

There really ought to be a solution to this kind of thing. And I can think of one or two off the top of my head, but I doubt that they'll ever take off - particularly because the majority of people don't have any particular need for them. Or at least don't perceive themselves as having a need for them.

Sometimes I wonder if the web pretty much works 'well enough' for 95% of the pipulation, and so although there are lots of rough edges, it's just not worth fixing them.

OMG! I must have it!

It's an advert for Windows 1.0. A spoof one from a MS conference, I believe. Still funny.

(cheers to johnbbobshaun for that one)
