- @davest I’ve learned over the years that every minute of video I shoot takes 10 minutes or more to edit, upload, etc. Now I <3 short clips. in reply to davest #
- @davest Besides, if I need “real” video capture, I’ll just bring @jerry_makare and his fancy cameras along. Or use my Flip.
in reply to davest # - @lazyeyesteve I am also a big connoisseur of gadget bags, and if I ever have enough money to get a 5D Mk 2, I’ll pore over the perfect bag. in reply to lazyeyesteve #
- Does Western Digital WD Drive Manager software for Mac actually *do* anything, besides show a capacity gauge on the drive icon? #
- Everything is going so well! Here, let me jinx it by saying so.
# - Had a 3 hr meeting to select the talks for @IgnitePortland 6. Hardest one so far. Lots of hot debate. Town Hall input was a big help. #
- RT @IgnitePortland: Talk lineup for IP6 will be announced Monday June 1. The submissions we got were top notch. So hard to choose! #ip6 #
- @kegill @IgnitePortland 6 is Thursday July 16. in reply to kegill #
- @geoffk Thanks! It was great to be able to refer to what people said at the Town Hall. And #IP6 is going to rock!

- OH’ing a retelling of a painful dentist visit that I could do without. Words include “redo the root canal”, “ooze”, “pus”, “drain”, etc. :-& #
- RT @Jerry_Makare: Panasonic HVX-200 with a Canon 5D Mark II attached to hot shoe mount via @galvmo http://twitpic.com/62ccc (love my job!) #
- OH: “I would, except I’m supposed to do a video shoot in my underwear in four minutes.”
# - Having more fun at work today that any teambuilding activity or offsite event I’ve ever been to.
# - Not only was the cake not a lie, it was delicious!
# - Anyone know what the screen res on the Zune HD is going to be? I find it hard to imagine it’ll actually be HD (at least 1280×720). #
- Curse all the video professionals I’ve been rubbing elbows with. I’m totally, madly, and completely in love with the Canon 5D Mk II now.
# - @davest HD clips on the 5DMkII are limited to 12 minutes, which is about 10-11 minutes longer than the vast majority of clips I shoot now. in reply to davest #
- That nightly Chromium for Mac build wasn’t half bad. Chrome for Mac is looking very promising. #
- @davest You have no idea. Today is going to be a VERY fun day at work.
# - Today is one of the busiest and most fun work days I’ve had in a LONG time. I love my job.
# - Exhausted. Had an amazing day. More to come tomorrow. I’ll be able to share more about my “supar sekrit project” with you in 2 weeks!

- Going to get back into using BrightKite a little more regularly. – http://bkite.com/07Pgv (from SW Eggert Way & SW Masters Loop, Aloha, …) #
- Taking a much needed break today. Per tradition, headed to the Oregon Coast with the fam. Tillamook ice cream and cheese curds and Mo’s.
# - Of course, we’re full of gratitude for the soldiers and veterans that keep us safe, and make our way of life possible. Thank you all. #
- @ScottHuskey We toyed with the idea of building a chicken tractor, but in the end, our yard just isn’t big enough. in reply to ScottHuskey #
- A much needed oil change for the WRX before we head to the coast. – Photo: http://bkite.com/07Psz (from Oil Can Henry’s) #
- Stopped at @tillamookcheese for the best ice cream and cheese curd on earth.
– Photo: http://bkite.com/07PJE (from Tillamook) # - At Tolovana Park/Cannon Beach for Family Beach Fun. Weather couldn’t be better. Nap time!
– Photo: http://bkite.com/07PYH (from Tolo…) # - Grabbing food in Seaside. Passed by the (way unofficial, hand-painted-sign) “Crocs” store, and honestly, it looked kinda lame. #
- Home. Sunburnt, windblown, sandy, and tired.
– http://bkite.com/07Qre (from SW Eggert Way & SW Masters Loop, Aloha, OR 97007, United…) # - @camikaos You may choose to interpret it however you wish. But take into account the fact I was looking for a new pair at the time.
in reply to camikaos # - As if we hadn’t eaten enough crap today, we stopped at Sonic for tasty beverages. I’m trying an apple lime-aid. It’s… different. #
- Hangin’ out with my groupie chicks… http://twitpic.com/5z1lr #
- @Palumbo You can get a $5 adapter/cable from Monoprice or PCHCables that converts HDMI to DVI. Problem solved. in reply to Palumbo #
- Heh. One of the chickens (same one, I bet) jumped up on MY shoulder tonight.
Pecked at my head! http://twitpic.com/5z3qy # - I promise, once the novelty wears off, I’ll stop tweeting so dang much about chickens. I’m not going to be That Chicken Guy forever!
#
- @kveton Now THAT’S a chicken coop!
Makes me feel inadequate all of a sudden… in reply to kveton #
- For those who missed it, one of our chickens flew up and perched on @rachelbancroft’s shoulder: http://twitpic.com/5sc2g #
- Coop progress: rat wire installed. Window cover built and hung. Next up: hasps, latches, and roof. http://twitpic.com/5sgr2 #
- @StephStricklen Me either. Our chickens must be “special”.
in reply to StephStricklen # - @krystlechung Yeah, @rachelbancroft made me remove the chicken as soon as I stopped taking pics/video, for fear of shoulder poop.
in reply to krystlechung # - @StevenWalling Well now we know. They *are* friendly little buggers. To us adults, anyway. They flee and cower when our kids are out.
in reply to StevenWalling # - Attention! I hereby declare the chicken coop (essentially) done! (still needs roofing material):
http://twitpic.com/5tnr1 # - @odie The coop is extremely sturdy, and varmint proof. There’s a big wire covered window, and we’re going to build them an enclosed run. in reply to odie #
- @podcasthotel Thanks! That big white door is the “servant’s entrance”.
in reply to podcasthotel # - @SmartChickPDX We have four Buff Orpington hens (at least, we hope they’re all hens!
. They’re about 8 weeks old. in reply to SmartChickPDX # - @SmartChickPDX We were only going to get three, but then a friend had four Buff Orpingtons (the breed we wanted), and we couldn’t say no.
in reply to SmartChickPDX # - The chickens are spending their first night outside in the coop, and @rachelbancroft is fretting like a mother hen (see what I did there?
# - See what i mean? RT @rachelbancroft: Chickens first night outside in coop. I am a mother hen wreck. Are they warm enough? Scared? Breathing? #
- AudioBoo: Chicken Coop Is Done! http://boo.fm/b23741 #
- Is there a Facebook worm going around? I got two FB messages this AM, unrelated people, both saying “visit somedomain.be”. Weird. #
- @CarriBugbee Alas, there is NO way to make a Mac browser, Safari or Firefox, go full screen. I have no idea why that should be, but it is. in reply to CarriBugbee #
- This week’s date night: working on the $&#% chicken coop. I swear, this thing is the project that never ends!
# - We were working on the coop, @rachelbancroft bent over and a chicken hopped right up on her shoulder! http://twitpic.com/5qvzj #
- Another pic of the chicken that jumped and perched on @rachelbancroft’s shoulder. I shot video, too.
http://twitpic.com/5qw5k #
- @Tersteeg Pics or it didn’t happen.
in reply to Tersteeg # - @Tersteeg +1 to video. You can borrow my Flip.
in reply to Tersteeg # - @JoannaK IMHO, nothing beats @Tweetie for Mac for managing multiple accounts. I manage several, and it’s made my life SO much easier.
in reply to JoannaK # - @rachelbancroft I’m all for another trip back east. Maybe in the fall? Let’s keep an eye out for cheap tickets… in reply to rachelbancroft #
- @tweetmyvote I don’t know where you’re getting your info, but there’s a LOT more in iPhone 3.0 than copy/paste. Spotlight, Push, P2P, etc. in reply to tweetmyvote #
- At a virtual conference, listening to myself and @amybarton give a presentation we recorded weeks ago. Surreal to attend my own talk.
# - Yay! @davest hooked me up with a bootable USB stick to install Moblin 2.0 beta on my Eee PC 1000H. Installing now!
# - Test tweet from the integrated “Status” tab in Moblin 2.0. This is slick – Twitter integrated into the OS!
# - @mattg ArsTechnica has a nice writeup of Moblin 2.0 (by @segphault) that might answer better than I can: http://bit.ly/nOTEZ in reply to mattg #
- @mike_strock You can get it from http://moblin.org (which is getting hammered), or try http://mirrors.kernel.org/moblin in reply to mike_strock #
- @dbug13 Install was pretty easy. Boot from the USB stick, choose “Install”, selection partition scheme, then let it finish. in reply to dbug13 #
- @lmachen Try hitting ESC repeatedly during boot, right after power on. It should give you a menu where you choose which device to boot from. in reply to lmachen #
- @lmachen That changes the boot order in the BIOS, but hitting ESC gives you a “right now,” one-time device boot menu. Try that? in reply to lmachen #
- “Your reading list has no unread items.” Been a long time since Google Reader told me that. Feels good.
