Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-04-27

• Microsoft cancelled my Xbox Live account while my 360 was in for RROD repairs. Now I can't reactivate - it gets stuck in a loop. Epic Fail. #
• I hope Redmond understands why I will never again recommend Xbox. PS3 is looking better and better. That's what I'll buy for the TWiT Studio #
• @arnold says that the RROD and Xbox loop are my fault. Hmm. He must work for Microsoft tech support. It's always the user's fault, of course #
• I created a new Xbox Live account (Hank really wanted to play COD4) but what happens to the 6800 points in the permanently deactivated acct? #
• Q4U: What's the best way to stream an audio-only version of TWiT Live? Live365? I like Shoutcast. Other companies to look at? #
• Hah. I told Brightkite I was at home and it placed me at Leisure Lake Mobile Home Park, Rohnert Park, CA, USA - bug or prophecy? #
• @Merk thinks it's "rude" of me to bash MS instead of calling support. Doesn't crappy service deserve airing? I should be quiet and take it? #
• I know how to do Shoutcast - I just don't want to pay for the bandwidth. Sounds like Live385 is a poor choice. Anyone similar out there? #
• Retweeting @jeffjarvis - Clay Shirky at Web 2.0 - a must read: http://snipurl.com/260z4 - what will you do with your cognitive surplus? #

• Happy ANZAC Day. Now give me a bikkie! http://snipurl.com/25uos #
• Just spent the last two hours (2-4a) geotagging my Flickr photos. I think there's something wrong with me. #
• Happy Butter and Eggs Day 2008! It's a beautiful day for a parade! Sunny and 80° (23°C). Come to Petaluma - we're saving seats for you. #

• @hametner For shortening URLs I use snipurl.com because of its customization services (free reg req) but xrl.us is shorter. #
• @worldtechguy Certainly. Use leo@leoville.com with Smugmug.com to save some bux. #
• @dpedersen Pleasure meeting you via Hank's cell phone. He did try to get you on TWiT but you have to get in line behind @jasoncalacanis! ;-) #
• @pazaq I don't think any photo site does RAW. Our album art cariciatures are by Nitrozac: http://joyoftech.com - she'll do one for you, too. #
• OK @scottbourne - that owl picture is amazing! http://www.jpgmag.com/photos/634052 - you have my vote! #
• I think we're going to go with the Tricaster Broadcast. Not HD, but then neither is Flash. Seems expensive but lots of bang for the buck. #
• Is there any way to figure out if all these new Followers are really just spammers? The # seems to be growing way too fast. #
• What do spammers gain by following people? They can't actually spam, they'll get blocked. Do they get some sort of Google juice from it? #
• @carlo's http://twerpscan.com is a great idea. Can't use it myself though - it chokes. #
• I hate to miss all these interesting conferences (Web 2.0, ROFLCon, NewComm et al.) but I'm too busy actually making content to attend. #
• The cable modem is getting 22.8 Mbps down and 3.2 Mbps up. That actually is Comcastic. (Never thought I'd say THAT!) #
• @kevinrose You should sound excellent on TWiT this week! Still got the USB headset? #
• Daisy Whitney says, "it's your turn guys." Who's the hottest male web host? Cast your vote at http://xrl.us/bjtsm (I vote for Merlin). #
• Lunch with Colleen to solidify plan for world domination. Are there steam punk "lasers?" #
• @THErealDVORAK We can't do TWiT live after all. There's a big antique fair going on Sunday so no parking. We'll Skype with Norton & Rose. #
• @THErealDVORAK We should have lights and switcher in place by the second or third week in May. Let's aim for a live TWiT then. #

• Capitulating to the Alert Thingy siren song. #
• My to-do list site, Remember the Milk, has released a Blackberry sync program - sweet. Well done Bob and Cow. http://rmilk.com #

• If I could send Obama more money I would. #
• Thanks to @rickmacmerc for the Leoville earth day theme. More to come! #
• A plug for Angela Drury - Lightroom wizard. She's doing a workshop this weekend in Berkeley. Highly recommended http://snipurl.com/25e6x #
• Boy it sure is hard deleting old tweets. Pownce and Jaiku delete them right away. Guess Hank's phone will be unusable today. #
• I won't know the total number of text messages Hank received until I get the bill, but it was in the thousands. He had to turn off the phone #
• I DDoSed my own son. #
