  • @itod I’d love to see Fluid integrate iTerm such that tabs could be dedicated to terminal usage & save env info to restore when reopening. #
  • @itod I’m finding Fluid to be very useful for keeping my multiproject web dev world consolidated & sane & just trying to further this quest. #
  • Dad sounds really good. We’re going to see him shortly after we have the little party for our kids. #
  • Playing Phantom of the Opera to set the stage for our little family Halloween shindig. The kids are loving it. #
  • RT @jcruzer: The Early Bird may get the Worm, but the Second Mouse gets the Cheese. #
  • If a choice between these jokes of candidates will cause “Blood to Run in the Streets” if Obama looses (http://twurl.nl/17ch7h) I’m leaving. #

  • Dad made it through surgery great. Ended up having 5 by passes vs. 4. He looks good, but still critical. #
  • Thank you all for your thoughts & prayers. They are much appreciated. This night will be critical, but things went well & I feel good abt it #
  • They rolled dad over & got some drainage out of him. He has woken up twice now surprisingly, which is ahead of schedule. #
  • 1st time he had a real surprised/scared look in his eyes & she knocked him back out. 2nd time he was completely coherent… #
  • Additional info on dad’s post open heart surgery tonight status… http://bit.ly/3lzJfm #
  • @Gazelem thanks for the concern. It’s definitely a scarey surgery, but seems that it is performed rather well. Thanks again. #
  • Morning update for dad’s 1st night after surgery… http://bit.ly/2FWthX #
  • Just received a call again, they removed his breathing tube abt 15 minutes ago (7:15 am), breathing on own, but rough voice so no phone yet. #
  • Beautiful, the hoary frost is beginning to settle upon southern Ohio. Oh, how I love this time of the year with it’s crisp & fresh elegance. #
  • Hmm. New thought, could the global economic crisis be strategic in order to fell the oil nations’ supremacy? Perhaps good things are coming? #
  • In the funding frustration phase. Seems that folks want to see what will continue to happen w/ economy & elections. Anyone want to chat? #
  • Awaiting news re dad’s movement out of recovery into a room so we can go up to visit. Should be around 12 to early afternoon. #
  • Concerned, still seems that Flash 10 is consuming a lot of processor cycles on probably unoptimized flash sites. Wish Adobe would look into. #
  • Have the room number for Dad now. Pls let me know if you’re planning on visiting over the next couple days and I’ll shoot it your way. #
  • Fluid.app in your webdev workflow really rocks. Very happy to have this app to consolidate projects and pertinent sites in one place. #
  • Call this morning from Ohio Republican party: asked if I supported McCain; I said neither candidate can solve our problems. She agreed. LOL #
  • Phone call from Dad and afternoon update… http://bit.ly/zLUrO #
  • Heading to parent teacher conference shortly. Seems that Joshua’s classes are overly easy for him; need to try to raise things up a bit. #

  • Here with dad in the prep room. He’ll be going in to surgery in 30 minutes. He’s relaxed & @jenaelee is massaging his feet. Helping a lot. #
  • Now he wants his toes popped :D I love you dad. He reminds me so much of my 2 yo, Jonathan, at the moment. So sweet. #
  • Grateful that @jenaelee is helping him feel so comfortable atm. #
  • He’s off to surgery now. #
  • Apparently my tweet did not go through, dad went into surgery at about 4:00, should last 2-2.5 hours he said. #
  • Still awaiting word as to how the surgery is proceeding. We’re at right about 2.5 hours so we’re hoping to hear word any moment. #
  • received word: 20-30 min left, Dr. Duff will then come out to speak w/ us. 1-2 hrs before we can see him. #

  • FREE TODAY ONLY: Get free CodeWeavers CrossOver apps w/ serial # @ http://twurl.nl/z2p15w A promise kept resultant of gas price drop. #
  • Dad’s surgeon is a farm boy like dad & really has a special place in his heart for country folks. Said he will take special care in surgery. #
  • @deluzione Aside from UI consistency offered by Cocoa, I much appreciate the stability & recoverability offered by the *nix underpinning. #

  • @jayceemccain wow Jaycee! That’s outstanding news re you coming home! #
  • I love Safari and Safari loves me… #
  • So happy. Starting to see the light @ the end of the work tunnel in terms of catchup + our 10th anniversary today! Happy anniversary @yolee! #
  • @usermac discovered recently that I prefer my scrambled eggs cooked a la microwave… less mess + better texture; same if not better taste. #
  • All who loath Internet Explorer, please chime in. Certainly the most abysmal browsing experience on earth… for those who know. #
  • You know I’m no fan of either candidate, but my dislike for Obama is really growing in light of some of his desires for our nation. #
  • @afhill I agree re: Twittelator. Extremely crashy to point of not able to use. Would love to use it though if it worked. @twittelator #
  • I’m quite emotional right now. Just found out that my dad has to have a quadruple bypass heart surgery tomorrow or Wed. Please pray for him. #
  • Interesting: the world’s first fully implantable artificial heart: http://twurl.nl/5v17k2 #

  • @jcruzer okay, you’ve got to share your halloween party photos w/ us. Blog or twitwall.com… pls? :) Aboriginal Shandi was quite good too.. #
  • Thanks for bringing the awesome chile over @jcruzer. You’re a super friend and person. #
  • Forgetting or forgetfulness must be the worst enemy and poorest attribute of humanity. #
  • Capital gains tax must die. And die a horrible death. That very much scares me @heartensoul4u. #
  • @travishines yep, me too. Editing would be nice. #
  • @LifeByDegrees Indeed, I think forgetting is the real crux now as I ponder and recall things throughout life. Too much is rooted in it. #
  • @LifeByDegrees I should say that forgetting is the key problem for those who are really striving and/or wanting to strive. #
  • If your kids like toy trains, then they may love this: http://twurl.nl/dijace I’m sure you’ll have tons of fun w/ your little ones w/ this. #
  • How sweet! My 2 yo was saying “Hi daddy!” and waving to me up front during sacrament meeting today. He’s so sweet & such a good hearted boy. #

  • Rediscover Finder with Path Finder 5. Finally it’s worthy of the title Finder Killer: http://twurl.nl/kwcn8l #
  • If you’re a bash shell user + Path Finder user, useful alias: `alias pfo=”open -a Path\ Finder”` Just replaced my std `open PATH` cmd. #
  • Uh, yes… Apple seeds *do* contain a cyanide compound: http://twurl.nl/irzlbh Probably not a good idea to masticate apple seeds. *eh hem* #
  • @LDSCrowd sure. Kinda crazy isn’t it? Something I’ve wondered, apple seeds & almonds have that cherry like flavor, is that the cyanide? #
  • @thebrandbuilder in high enough doses, perhaps. :) But oil may have higher chances than seed consumption… Hmm. #
  • Been going for a while already this morning. Still catching up… :D #
  • @jenaelee a genius just knows where to look… #
  • Brain transplant in progress…. #
  • Whoa, this time sensitive CSS + Template transplant is going very well. I’d imagine about as much tedium as brain surgery though! :P #
  • CSSEdit + TextMate, you guys rule. Can’t wait for TM2 though… #

  • LOL @jenaelee: $DO || ! $DO ; try try: command not found #
  • @pgbkruit they really are nice. I certainly like Apple and not having to babysit my stuff all the time. I would like OS integrated diags. #

  • @jenaelee w00t! excited about the Tuesday launch of the brand new idea!!!! The Twittersphere will adore it. #

  • Certainly looking forward to a new MacBook Pro, particularly with GeForce Boost. Finally will be able to replace the old beefy PowerMac. #

  • I’m always impressed when people address others properly & with respect. I wish that we could all return to traditional communicative values #
  • @smashingred very true re: milk. Definitely causes (some serious) problems beyond what we expect. #
  • So, are blogs really obsolete? http://twurl.nl/ev8re5 #
