C. Thomas Payne II A glimpse inside.Life::Software::Politics

About 2 months ago, I started playing with TweetMyMac, and enjoyed how easy it was to remotely manage my computer using Twitter.  I can send a direct message to a Twitter account setup for my mac and have it open/close programs, send screenshots and iSight camera snapshots, and pretty much anything else I care to write an AppleScript to do.  The only real headache was the task of repetitively typing in whatever the commands were to get a snapshot or kill Adium from my iPhone’s Twitter client… That was before I saw that TextExpander had released TextExpander Touch and Tweetie 2 had integrated it into their client.  Now, I can type in 4 characters (it could be less, but.. meh) and have the text replaced instantly with whatever the command i needed… (typically closing adium after I leave in the afternoon)

Wcca poof’s to “-d computer_twitter_account close Adium”

Wcss poof’s to “-d computer_twitter_account iSight”

There are quite a few more, these are just the ones I use most frequently.

This movie, sure to win the top of the box office this weekend, was possibly the worst waste of time I’ve experienced in quite some time.  The special effects were pretty nice and the general idea was fair, but the story was poorly told and substantially longer than it needed to be.  Think, “The Day After Tomorrow”, but longer and with John Cusack.

So, in 2012, it’d be cool if something cataclysmic was to happen but I hope God has something a bit more creative up his sleeve.

Whilst float’n down the intertube, I happened upon a TUAW post about some jewelry made from dead mac/iphone parts.  I’ve got to say, its some pretty awesome stuff for those in love with all things Apple and Geeky.  The company that makes them, Powerbook Medic, is giving away 15 sets to people willing to “working girl” their social networks in an effort to advertise the give-a-way.  Today, I am a “working girl”.
