In the past week or so, it has been independantly noted that I am very bitter and I am cynical beyond repair. Sorry if you were on the receiving end of that. Also, sorry if you encountered Cranky Waider this week, as he was in pretty full effect due to some technical stuff that was going the wrong way down a one-way street, and doing so while honking its horn at people coming the other way trying to point out the error.

Having gotten that out of the way, I will note the following (we'll call it "residual crankiness")
  • My Amazon Wishlist is now titled "Yes, it's up-to-date". Even though there is stuff on it from 2004 that's no longer available from Amazon themselves, and there's other stuff there that Amazon UK simply won't ship to me due to an ongoing issue with recycling laws in Ireland.
  • Twitter comes with a feed. So does your blog. If I'm interested in the latter, you really shouldn't need to tell me about it on the former. Announce your blog, sure. Tell me every time you post? Not so much.
  • Daylight savings time can bite me. Twice. And the alleged US energy-saving legislation from 2005 that made things even more screwy can seriously bite me.
  • Livejournal posts of your twitter posts: same deal as going the other way. If I'm interested, I'll have subscribed to both. If I'm not interested, I'm not frickin' interested, ok?
  • This weather has got to stop. I got snowed on last weekend. I came home yesterday with hands so cold I could barely type. And now it's blazing sunshine, after blowing a storm this morning. Maybe humans were meant to sleep through this.
  • Dear local bar, please clean the taps or something. Three beers giving me a headache? That's not right.


In the immortal words of the TBSC:
Whew, that was fun. Actually, it has nothing to do with any of that. I'm just killing time until this Pat tape runs out.

I've set up a twitter feed called waider6nations in which I will be attempting to type live commentary of six nations games. Unaffilliated with anything, etc.

I thought it was vaguely amusing that people posted to Twitter that they'd updated their blog. Now I see you can have the Web do it for you. It's like RSS only... uh, I can't actually complete this sentence.

Mostly, the twitterbot seems to spend all day disconnecting and reconnecting. I guess it's low priority, but frankly to me it's the most useful interface to the system. On the other hand, the whole concept isn't really useful to me.

In other IntarWeb Two toys, Stikkit looks like it might be useful if I or someone else wrote an emacs client for it. Because frankly it causes my firefox-on-memory-shy-laptop to grind almost to a halt with its wacky interactivity. Oh, and it didn't send me a reminder for the one thing I tried the reminders on.

These new toys like Twitter and Stikkit are all very nice, but why the hell aren't any of them using OpenID? It would make it just that little bit less of a pain if I could say to each of them, "I'm that waider guy at livejournal, go ask the site for my ID and I'll validate it".

I don't have the patience to invent one. But there should be one. And it should feature things like "post using the word twitter or variant thereof: drink", "post about posting to twitter: drink", "post about posting elsewhere: buy Evan a drink", etc.
