Richard’s Tweets for 2008-03-31 at Richard Mondello

@Pistachio Deadish link. And, Clifford games? That’s worse than being RickRoll’d. #
How cool is it that a distant friend of mine looked on YouTube for iMovie ‘08 help and found my rant? http://youtube.com/watch?v=guGh1GRkgUY #
Why the heck does YouTube stink at profile pictures? You try to upload them, it fails. You finally upload them, it adds a giant white line. #
@ronaldlewis I remember the first time I saw that talk. I was changed. So, how are you involved? #
@chrisbrogan 7/10. I could do better, but I don’t feel too bad. The others quoted other articles and gave my opinion on the topics. #
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy. http://tinyurl.com/35rxcg #
Listening to This American Life #353, The Audacity of Government. It’s a good one. Everyone should subscribe to TAL. http://thislife.org/ #
@ronaldlewis That’s wonderful. I told everyone I knew about that video and thought about it a lot. I wonder if I wrote something about it… #
@cory_grimes No offense, but a mix between Veronica Belmont and lonelygirl15 isn’t a bad place to be. #
Just listened to TWiT while writing an essay for Gym. Short, but good. The topics make we worry for our society and information literacy. #
@cspenn To be fair, The Weimar democracy was really a dictated government set in place by the allies. It didn’t have much of a chance, imho. #
@cspenn That’s nation-building for ya. #
@cory_grimes I meant no offense. Sorry about that. I don’t know much about lonelygirl15, but who isn’t a fan of Veronica? #
VNCing to use Twitter from school is so inefficient. I think it’s time for a VPN server with portable Firefox. New project! #
@cspenn Blocked faster than you can say, "filters". I could play the anonymous proxy game, but I think I’ll roll my own instead. #
@cspenn It works. I tried it a few months ago, but I’m not keen on the performance. Apparently, DD-WRT makes it easy to spin a VPN. #
@geoffmanning Yup, but with some security. I’m thinking of running my own VPN on my router and using Portable Firefox on a usb key. #
@geoffmanning Thanks for the email! If I can’t get my idea to work, I’ll implement what you sent me. Looks good. #
Alright, fixed my blog’s problem with k2. Everything is working great now. Seriously, if you aren’t on WordPress 2.5, go for it. #
Using a link @geoffmanning gave me for a personal proxy solution. Setting up now, testing tomorrow. http://preview.tinyurl.com/2v6qbj #
@krisbjorkman Skipping out on any meal isn’t a great idea… I personally start dying without lunch. #
@shultquist How broken am I? Scanned over your tweet, read "rolled" and "rack" (rick) and starting singing Never Gonna Give You Up softly. #
Why would such a wonderful blogger make it so hard to contact him or her? There’s no contact info anywhere. http://everythinghurts.com/ #
I’d love a power efficient headless system to run my VPN and VNC server at home. That’d be great when I go to college. Need to set that up. #
@shultquist I’d suspect AIR and Java apps not respecting Spaces. Microsoft Office doesn’t respect Spaces, either. (For me, that is.) #
Kernel Panic on shutdown! I’m beginning to hate my installation of Leopard. I’ll investigate. Still hoping for 10.5.3. #
@shultquist I’d like to reinstall, but restoring from my Time Machine backup would just bring my current problems into my new system. Stuck. #
