Better photo, I think, without flash.

Arrived at our yurt at Nehalem Bay State Park. Barely have an EDGE signal. http://twitpic.com/fkv2 #
High latency and only 62kbps, but at least I won’t be offline all weekend. I am the pansiest camper EVAR. #
Survived the first night in the yurt. Barely. It got COLD last night. Low 30s. Heater couldn’t keep up below 40. Rough night… #
Everyone else, surprisingly, stayed toasty warm. I was the only one who couldn’t sleep and froze his USB dongle off. #
@blath LOL@ yurt street cred. You’re right - around here, that carries more weight than a fancy college degree. #
@leahjones We’re camping on the Oregon Coast. You have to reserve these suckers 9 months in advance. My wife loves camping. #
On the upside, three deer walked by this morning, and hung out grazing about 10 feet away. #

Going camping (in a yurt) on the Oregon coast with the family. Yes, we’re going to freeze to death. That’s why we got a yurt - heaters! #

I’m going to start posting my “link+commentary” items to my blog instead of to my linkblog. Want more to see them. That’s good stuff! #
Am I the only one that finds the VW Brooke Shields “get pregnant to get a VW Routan” bit vapid and offensive? #
A change to the way I’ve been doing my linkblog (”interesting items with comment from Josh”) and my blog: http://tinyurl.com/3nbq7v #
Today I am surly and have a headache. I should not be allowed to interact with people. Except you, Twitter. #
@Jerry_Makare I shall endeavor to stop being surly by the time I have to get in front of the camera this afternoon. #
@Jerry_Makare If we’re BOTH surly, that will surely make for some interesting video, no? #
Ooh, I just figured out a way to keep my “linkblog” items, with commentary, going into my linkblog site, as well as my blog. I love Tubes! #
@verso It was simple. I use a category for my “linkblog” posts on blog. WP categories have their own feed. I tell soup.io to import the feed #
@verso So now my linkblog stays “as it was”, my blog gets more interested posts, and FriendFeed stays the same. Ahhh, elegance. #
Two very cool free iPhone apps I just discovered and downloaded: I. TV (slick TV listings, via @sourcecode) and Trapster (speed trap maps). #
@jezlyn Yeah, I’ve seen some other TV listings apps that weren’t free, and frankly didn’t sound so hot. I.TV works great so far for me! #
I need a special character to denote “this is a full, feature-length blog post”, like @gruber’s ? on Daring Fireball. Any suggestions? #
Or maybe I should use the special character to denote “this is a linkblog post”, and leave “full blown” posts undenoted. What do you think? #
@verso Excellent idea. Now, what is the ASCII code for the “orange Croc” character? #
Ooh! What about this character? ? It looks like a link. What is it? Does it have any meaning I should be aware of? #
@verso I knew you could help! What do you think about this one? ? #
It has to be something that will display on modern systems, and fail gracefully on systems that can’t display it (nothing platform specific) #
Shoot. The ? character doesn’t work on my blog. Does it have an HTML entity code? I think I’m going to be limited to those. #
@pfs08 Ooh! That’s a good idea. How do I write/represent the character that Mediawiki/Wikipedia uses for an external link? Hmm… #
Rats. The way MediaWiki does it is with an image. That won’t work. #
I think I’ve figured it out. The ? is a Unicode character, and can be represented in HTML as ☍ Check it out: http://tinyurl.com/4szmtx #
@blogan Yeah, there are probably going to be places (Google Reader being one) where it doesn’t display correctly. Will test, decide if worth #
Ooh, mysterious. Apparently, the ? symbol is named “Opposition”. I think it looks like a link, though. http://tinyurl.com/4ttx52 #
@BrianEnigma Thanks! You beat me to it! #
Thanks for your help with that link character/Unicode nonsense. I’ve got it working the way I want: http://tinyurl.com/4zfr5x #
Hey! I posted my 2000th (and 2001st) post on TinyScreenfuls.com today, and didn’t even notice until now. Happy milestone to me! #
I missed my blog’s 5 year birthday/anniversary last month, too. I started TinyScreenfuls.com on Sept. 16, 2003: http://tinyurl.com/43cyuj #
I’ve been a blogger for over five years. That makes me OLD in internet time. You kids get off my lawn! #

Here I am: http://tinyurl.com/3s8aqq Not really. My iPhone thinks I’m in Akron, Ohio. Huh? #
Were digital cameras banned at the debate? Cause everyone in the audience is taking pics with janky plastic disposable film cameras. #
THIS is why the internet is different from TV. A few hundred friends and I just watched something, and TALKED TO EACH OTHER THE WHOLE TIME. #
@betsywhim yes, if you don’t mind. Can I d you my address, and have you drop it in the mail? I’ll make it worth it. #
Watching the debate rerun on OPB - we missed most of it, putting kids to bed. Will be interesting having seen the Twitter reactions already. #
@RevTim you can turn off autocorrect in the next version of the iPhone OS (along with Google Street View). In beta now. #
I once knew a guy that called me “my friend” ALL the time. Like multiple times in a conversation. It was really creepy and uncomfortable… #
@biglabs Hey, have the winners of the Gnomedex Bug Labs contest been chosen/announced? Did I miss that, or is it still to come? #
@pmsi But, there’s no such thing as an “Intel biz tweet”. There are only people, who happen to work for Intel, who talk about their lives. #
@pmsi Sure, some of us talk about the Intel part of our lives, but some of us don’t. The value of Twitter (to me) is the PEOPLE. #
Seeing really weird, tiny artifacts on my Dell 2407FPW LCD. Like someone sneezed all over it, but they won’t wipe off. Eww. #
@jenvteal My monitor has never been outside, but yeah, it kind of looks like sap. #
Hey, I completely forgot about Ubiquity, and that I can tweet from it. Thanks, @caseorganic, for reminding me! #
i don’t think the character remaining count in Ubiquity works quite right, though. That last tweet was too long, and went over. This one? #
Oh wait, nevermind. The tweet displays fine. It’s just the “Latest” view on twitter.com, under the tweet box, that’s cut off. Lame! #
Why on earth would twitter.com allocate only 97 characters to display your “latest” tweet? Why not the full 140? Seems like bad design… #
@Viper007Bond You’re right that you can click to expand that truncated “Latest” tweet, but why even truncate it at all? #
@pmsi Then you’ll soon notice that those Intel twitter accounts are just repeating stuff from the site’s RSS feeds. #
@pmsi Oh, and if you want to direct your replies to me, I’m @jabancroft, not @jbancroft or @joshbancroft (though my search catches all). #
@pmsi Groups and organizations can’t tweet, because they’re not people. So you end up with rehashed feeds or a person masquerading as an org #
@funkatron Oh yeah? Well I think YOU’RE Crystal Pepsi. So there! #
@funkatron Yeah, fitting space to char counts on the web sucks, but is there anywhere it would be EASIER than the 140 limit on Twitter? #
@funkatron This is what I’m talking about (tweets getting truncated on Twitter.com, by design): http://tinyurl.com/3vawxp #
@Jmartens Did you walk through said door, or walk THROUGH it? Do you need medical attention? Will you sue? #
@pmsi Just trying to help. Welcome to Twitter! #
@Jmartens Glad to hear you’re not injured. Plate glass can be dangerous! We’ve got your back, man. #
@donpdonp Yes! I found one article on it. Apparently, the meteor hit, but there are no photos or video yet http://tinyurl.com/466pq2 #

(0)

So, anyone seen any photos (better yet: video) of the car-sized meteor that’s supposed to be streaking across Sudan right about now? #
Bummed at the lack of meteor news/photos/video. Maybe tomorrow. (via FriendFeed) #
This is how long it’s been since I logged into MySpace - my profile still listed me as “single” (I’ve been married for over 7 years #
Or maybe I just never filled out that field. Still, it was funny. Don’t ask why I decided to log into MySpace all of a sudden. I don’t know. #
@lawduck Heh. I’m man enough to admit I like some j-pop. #
@mrinklin I know. That’s why I changed to “married”, so no one gets the wrong idea! #
@DrPizza Yeah, I think you’re right. I think I just never filled that part out, and it defaulted to “single”. #
“They” (mysterious captialized They) just roped off the cubes where my group (intel Software Network) sits with “Caution” tape… :-O #
Did you know: It’s a fireable offense to cross Caution tape at Intel? I can’t leave my cube! (note: the rule applies to electric work #
The real (boring) story on the Caution tape cordon around ISN: they’re replacing some of the carpet squares. Nothing to see. Move along. #
@ahockley I’d much rather they got around to removing the wall in my cube they accidentally installed a month ago and haven’t yet removed. #
@oregonian Yay for “more human interaction, less automation”! #
@jltitus Good luck! I’m sure you’ll do a great job. Your enthusiasm is contagious. #
@oregonian Can you let us know a little bit about the human? Who are you? Are you a group? We want to get to know you! #
@gregjsmith Ah, good to know. Good thing they didn’t corral us with the red tape! We’d all be fired! #
Caution! Intel Software Network! http://twitpic.com/f0h7 #
@oregonian Nice to “meet” you, Mark. Another suggestion - listed to the Portland twitterati for local news ideas. Stuff breaks FAST here #
Feel like angry music. Ah, Beastie Boys, there you are. #
@mellowynk Oh, there’s some RATM in there, for sure. #
And now for some speed metal - Dragonforce, I love you, but there’s NO WAY I’ll ever be able to do TTFAF even on Medium in GH3. #
@pmsi To see who at Intel is on twitter, look at who @pulseofintel follows. I might’ve missed a few. The group that uses SM the best? ISN! #
As @billpearson and @tersteeg have noted, our fancy IP phones have been rebooting themselves all day. It’s fun to watch! Or not… #
@psteinb I agree with @jmoriarty. if you weren’t cool before, Intel ain’t going to make you cool. #
@samgrover It’s some guy at PMSI, an agency here in Portland. No idea what they’re doing, though. Contact @pmsi and ask. #
It seems that @pmsi_intel is duplicating what I’ve already done (following known Intel people) with @pulseofintel. Not sure why… #
@eriksr Oh! The meteor is going to happen TODAY. I thought it was yesterday. Date fencepost error, sorry! Looking forward to pics and video! #
Dear Twitter: Does anyone have any extra of those metal bendy earpieces for a Jawbone bt headset? I can’t find my spares… #
I broke the metal piece of my Jawbone headset last year in Chicago, and have been headsetless ever since. *whine whine* #

Why is there a helicopter hovering around my neighborhood at 6 AM? #
@lestew seriously? I figured lifeflight or escaped criminal or something. #
@ahockley That’s probably it. I do live near TV Hwy. #
TV Hwy was still closed (WB) near 209th when I just came by. Police were there videotaping something from that earlier lifeflight accident. #
@LeStew Not sure. I didn’t drive by TV and Murray (I live off of 209th). #
Caught this in my search feeds, but I have NO idea what she’s saying: “Vaccine Against Bancroft-itis working…” http://tinyurl.com/44re8w #
@Jerry_Makare I’m scared to even think of what would happen to me if I received a vaccination against Bancroft-itis. Would I melt? Explode? #
@Jerry_Makare Bancroft-itis symptoms include weight gain, compulsive feed subscriptions, urge to wear black t-shirts, and overtweeting. #
@Jmartens I disagree. I see no “upgrades” in the rumored new Kindle. Only downgrades. No more SD slot. No more user replaceable battery. #
@Jmartens It’s bigger, but the screen is the same size. How is that better? Joystick and diff buttons = possibly better, possibly worse IMO. #
@donpdonp Ah, yes. By the time the orange Crocs symptom appears, Bancroft-itis is already in its terminal stage, and there’s no hope. #
@Jmartens Boy Genius Report has pics of the new Kindle. Site’s down, but here’s the Google cache: http://tinyurl.com/4aobx8 Not sure I like. #
Gizmodo on “how to buy gadgets in China”, uses (with permission) several of my photos from the Shanghai PC Mall: http://tinyurl.com/3n5yts #

Man, Gizmodo’s content gets scraped and reposted EVERYWHERE. I’m getting hits from all kinds of weird sites from my name in that Giz post. #
@mikearmstrong99 The “proxy blocking TinyURL” issue is apparently a mistaken configuration on part of the pool. Search Intelpedia for more. #

Hey! A ten foot diameter asteroid is going to burn up in Earth’s atmosphere over Africa in about 4 hours. Cool! http://tinyurl.com/54h7rt #

Just updated to iTunes 8.0.1. Among the bug fixes: “Improves checking for updates from the App Store.” Yes, please! #
I got “tagged” by @blogan as a reminder to register and vote. I’m not going to tag 5 in return, though. I tag ALL of you. Do it! #
@donpdonp Are you sure it wasn’t kombucha? That stuff is spoiled *on purpose*. #
I accidentally bought a kombucha at Powell’s once, thinking it was juice. Luckily I smelled it before I actually got it to my lips. Yeesh. #

@Jerry_Makare Nice! We Kindle users will eventually take over the world, you know. You will be assimilated. #
Was nervous about presenting my “10% innovation idea” in staff, but it was really well received. Now, to make it happen! #
It’s so cool that I know most of the people who wrote the Obama iPhone app that everyone’s buzzing about this morning. Great job! #
The new Nintendo DSi looks good. Two cameras, an SD slot, and bigger screens? Yes, please! Better use the same charger connector, though. #
Looks like the DSI drops the GBA cart slot to make room for the other stuff. That’s OK. That’s what my GBA SP (which I gave to Emma) is for! #
@eriksr Piracy is already rampant on the DS. I have a cart that takes a MicroSD card, and can play games from ROM files (only games I own). #
@eriksr It’s unclear if the DSi will boot or run software from the SD slot (beyond using it for pic/MP3 storage). But interesting point. #
@KevinCTofel XP in Fusion on Mac OS X on the MSI Wind? Let us know how that works out for you. I’m curious about VM performance on Atom. #

Major kudos to Apple for dropping the silly parts of the iPhone development NDA: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/ #
So many things to get done before my next meeting. Time to block out the world with headphones and get cranking. #
I’m freaked about all the weird stuff @tersteeg, @sharong, and @paranoidmike are tweeting that slipped into the bailout bill. :-O #
“Sec. 401. Permanent authority for undercover operations.” #
“Sec. 402. Permanent authority for disclosure of information relating to terrorist activities.” #
And then the absurd: “Sec. 325. Extension and modification of duty suspension on wool products; wool research fund; wool duty refunds.” #
“Sec. 317. Seven-year cost recovery period for motorsports racing track facility.” #
“Section 503: exemption from an excise tax for children’s wooden arrows” #

Dear Twitter: Looking for examples of anyone who uses a netbook as their ONLY computer. Do you? Know someone who does? Let me know! #
@stephtara et al: Clarification: I’m using “netbook” to mean the little 7″-10″ systems like the Eee PC, Acer Aspire, Dell Mini, etc. #
@b3gl You use a laptop, but have you ever tried a netbook? I’m interested in the mix of laptop/netbook/desktop usage people have. Thanks! #
Thanks all for the netbook usage feedback. Sounds like they’re often used when traveling/away, but no one has gone 100% netbook yet. Hmmm… #
You netbook users, what is it that keeps you from using it as your 100% full time only computer? What other computers do you have? #
@philips But you can use an external keyboard and hard drive when you need it. Would that change how you feel about netbooks? #
@blath Power/performance limitations are a real factor. As is strict privacy of files. Small devices are more likely to be stolen. #
@jakeludington But what about hooking up to an external monitor, with better resolution? Would that make a difference? #
I’m working out a “grand unified theory” of cloud computing and the devices we use for it. Should be interesting - will post when ready. #
@jarvitron Good points (better 3G/wifi handoff and fast standby). Though my Eee PC 901 stands by in about 3 seconds. Pretty quick, to me. #
@jen I agree. Who wants to be limited to just one computer? 1 computer per company -> 1 per household -> 1 per person -> multiples. #
@MightySquid But you can hook up to an external monitor. Why not do that? (not trying to argue, really asking why not #

Rescuing 25GB of data off of a dead Vista PC 8 GB at a time, over USB, is SLOW. #
And now, on the last 1.5GB, Ubuntu decides to stop recognizing my flash drive. Long reboot from DVD, we’ll see if that fixes it… #
