My first three Twitters or Tweets
Apr 28th
I grabbed a snapshot of my first three twitters or tweets as people are calling them. My first and oldest tweet is at the bottom.
Look at the dates between my second tweet and my third tweet. Now that’s commitment to a joke. I wanted to tweet several times before that but resisted. Then I forgot about twitter, then I wanted tweet again. I almost forgot to post again on the same day. Now I’ll be using it all the time.
Birthdays for the self employeed. Today I’m 37
Apr 14th
Today I’m 37. My first phone call of the day was a downed server. So much for not working on my birthday. It’s actually no big deal that I’m working on my birthday because I enjoy what I do.
About the server, it seems as though it forgot who it was. So Time Machine (and about hour of time) reminded it and we were back in business. Thank you Time Machine, you kept me from having to rebuild the server.
The funny card from my wife.
How I Met Your Mother
Apr 1st
Yesterday Karen and I were watching the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother. During the “The Bracket” episode “Anna” who thought Barney was Ted Mosby said she had created the website http://tedmosbyisajerk.com/. I immediately paused my TiVo, Karen gave me the look because she knew I was going to look it up and see if it was real (they rarely are). To my surprise the site was real and had a couple of pages including the letter Barney left for Anna and he forgot to sign it Ted Mosby.
The site was very funny. Karen and I got a huge laugh out of it. So last night I decided to send an email to the person who registered the site and tell them how much we enjoyed it.
Today at 4:28PM my iPhone rang and the display said “Blocked”. I never get Blocked calls so I decided to see who it was. To my surprise is was Carl MacLaren one of the show’s producers and the person the show’s bar is named after “MacLaren’s Bar”. How awesome is that? He thanked me for my kind words and appreciated the fact that I went to the trouble to let them know I enjoyed the website. Then, and this is even funnier, because it’s obvious to anyone who reads my email signature that I’m in IT, Carl MacLaren asked me for tech support. Now that’s cool. Since I am very familiar with the question he was asking I was able to answer it quickly.
Carl MacLaren, I want to thank you for giving me a story that no one will ever believe because of what day it is.
