  • GPS is a very useful technology, but it helps to actually put the address you're trying to find in with the correct city… #
  • I'm easy to spot in a seafood resturaunt. I'm the one guy in the whole place eating a steak. #
  • Watching an awesome fireworks display: lightning dancing across the sky as a thunderstorm rolls over the ocean. Best show in town. :) #
  • Is it wrong to promote a comic critical of Twitter ON Twitter? I hope not. Because some people just shouldn't tweet: http://bit.ly/99pQ2d #
  • Everyone says once you touch an iPad, your opinions will chance. Well, they didn't. I STILL think it's just a big iPod Touch. :P #
  • Quoth my wife this morning: "I have seen heaven, and it's the inside of a Krispie Kreme store." #
  • Lady, I don't think "Here kitty, kitty, kitty" works on Siberian tigers. Then again, do you REALLY want an 800lb tiger to come when called? #
  • I thought it was bad that the boy was wearing us out, but now he's wearing out the other kids! If only I could harness this energy… #

  • Last night tripped over cat & fell down the stairs. Twisted both ankles, pull calf muscle, & carpet burns on elbow. Still aching after 24hrs #
  • Dear CNN: It's Twitter, not "Tweeter". Social media FAIL. #

Weekly Twitter Updates for 2010-08-14

  • I've been sanding drywall for days. Now's the time to start my criminal career, I think; I've sanded off all my fingerprints by now. #
  • When you need a combination telephoto and macro lens to take a picture and blow it up, YOU'VE PRINTED YOUR PRODUCT'S SERIAL NUMBER TOO SMALL #
  • My apologies to anyone on my phone's contact list for any abrupt calls. Froyo's Bluetooth voice dial… leaves much to be desired. #
  • Experimenting with Chrome to Phone Android app + Send to Phone Firefox extension. Interesting concept. Wish it worked the other way too… #
  • Behind on podcasts: Just finished FLOSS Weekly 128 on OpenStack, which silently helps power GPF's back-end: http://twit.tv/floss128 #
  • 10 years ago, Dexter was as reviled as Trudy. Today, concern for his health is overwelming. What can't a decade of character building do…? #
  • I *DESPISE* SELinux. It does nothing but cause me problems. It just made upgrading an SSL cert 10 times harder than it needed to be. #
  • The boy's birthday was a blast. We planned for more kids at the party, but he had fun regardless. My favoite gift: My 1st Science Kit. :D #

  • Apologies to Premium folks: I accidentally swapped the note text for this week's Sketch with next week's. Should be fixed. Refresh to see it #
  • Dredged up some fun old abandoned comic ideas for the Sketchbook to run in Aug/Sept. Now might be a good time to reconsider subscribing… #
  • In the current GPF story, Trudy reveals one of her darkest, most horrible secrets: she colors her hair. DUH DUH DUUUUMMMM… #
  • Bigfoot says Froyo comes to Moto Droid next week, test pushes as early as tonight. Loch Ness Monster confirms. Ice since spotted in Hades. #

  • Back online. Fun trip but exhausted. Lots of great pics & some video, some of which I may have to post in the blog. We'll see… #
  • Scripting the end of the current story. Resolved most of the major plot threads but still have to tackle the hardest, the one I dread. Hm… #
  • Security alert: New 0-day Windows flaw uses shortcuts to execute arbitrary code, no useful fix available yet: http://bit.ly/aZklJT #

  • Is it wrong of me to think it ironic when the soap dispenser in the Lowe's restroom is poorly secured to the wall? #
  • Rumor has it Froyo comes to the Moto Droid tomorrow. I'll buy my tipster a drink if he's right. (I hear Bigfoot likes root beer.) #
  • Well, no Froyo for me yet. Bigfoot, you let me down. Next thing, you'll be talking about a Verizon iPhone… oh, wait…. #
  • May be incommunicato the next few days; unknown Internet access & unlikely cell service. Surprisingly, I'm OK with that. #

  • Deck reinforced, 7 windows & 1 door hung, & walls starting to go up. Not quite a Florida room yet; more like an Alabama or Louisiana room. #
  • My inner hillbilly is showing through; just used the phrase "[nervous] like a long tailed cat in a rocking chair factory" in a comic script. #
  • Keep forgetting to post: Finished "The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle via Audible.com #
  • Rereading 7-year-old story arcs to keep the next GPF story internally consistent. Sometimes this massive archive is its own worst enemy… #
  • Trying to maintain an air of quiet professionalism is frustrating when petty, snarky replies are more instantly gratifying… :/ #

  • Tearing apart our old deck to rebuild & re-enforce it. I have learned years of programming is not suitable preparation for manual labor. #
  • Apparently, my first attempt at using a circular saw has been [counts fingers] successful. #
  • Scripted 3 more weeks of the next story arc. Man, is this one getting exciting. Gripping drama, lots of emotion, and some snarky humor too. #
  • Verizon iPhone in January, claims Bloomberg. Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Hitler & Marlin Monroe's love child confirm rumor. Must be true!!! #
  • Whoever came up with the idea of a shredder that talks obviously didn't know how ANNOYING it would be… #
  • But the joke possibilities… "The wastebasket is full. I feel bloated." "Please remove your fingers. I don't like the taste of blood." #

  • RT @howardtayler The toys [of Toy Story] are related to Weeping Angels from Doctor Who, and have a soft quantum-lock. #ToyStoryTorchwood #
  • This Father's Day, I am grateful for the young man who made me a father, and the older man who taught me how to be one. Thanks, Dad & Ben. #
  • From MS Word's word count, GPF's Year 9 script doc counts as a novel (>50k) while Year 10 (current) is a novella (>20k) & still growing. O_o #
  • Had a small but subtle epiphany that could throw an awesome twist into the next story arc. Do I switch, or stick to the original plot? Hm… #
  • iPod's now running iOS 4. C'mon, Verizon & Motorola… where's my Froyo? I wants ta do some experimentin'… #
  • Supposedly on my last few sessions as a computer based training narrator. Not sure yet if I'll miss it or if I should be jumping for joy. #

  • Finished 1st new Dr. Who with Silurians. Nice update of an old villain but I've got to ask: Why would a female reptile warrior have breasts? #
  • Test tweet to see if the new "repost tweets to GPF's Facebook page" script is working. Feel free to ignore this one, folks… #
  • Which is more embarrassing, the fact my son wants me to sing the old Pokemon theme song as a lullaby, or that I remember all the words? #
  • Six WordPress blogs upgraded to 3.0. How did I end up with so many? These things breed like rabbits. #
  • Sorry folks. Comicking delayed by my first chance to see Saturn & up-close moon craters through the telescope. Rings & holes in planets! :D #
  • Watched a raccoon steal a clean, empty milk jug off the back porch. Not sure what he's going to do with it, but I guess he's welcome to it. #
