Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-06-24

  • @john_mcguirk @colettebrowne does suggest the "stress" tests aren't particularly stressful or testing. #
  • Does Bill Cullen think those scrapatonni ads are funny? They don't work. #
  • @feylya to quote team america "Fuck Yeah!" #
  • @feylya unfortunately not but I listened to the clip & wow. I watched the clip too so wow πŸ™‚ #
  • @feylya how many lead guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb? #
  • @feylya 100. 1 to change the bulb & 99 to explain how they could have done it better #
  • @feylya Orianthi… discuss! #
  • @feylya I feel that way about most shredding now. As for female guitarists, I like Nancy WIlson. That's just the kinda guy I am #
  • @feylya tasty. #
  • @hugorifkind @caitlinmoran don't worry. Greece is still run by Germany. #
  • @unakavanagh if you find a pumpkin and some mice it will confirm my suspicions πŸ™‚ #
  • @SiviPanda love that song. Also love Words on that album. #
  • @Ireland2gether @CorinaVasilopou survival of the most economical with the truth? #
  • @CorinaVasilopou @Ireland2gether perhaps but I'm concerned that this rise on the left is not translating into election/referenda wins. #
  • @paulmwatson fascinating idea. The surface looks kinda cool tbh. #
  • @paulmwatson I suppose it shouldn't be that big a surprise. XBox & Kinect have been huge successes #
  • @paulmwatson thing is, Nokia's wireless technology is still very good. They actually build good _phones_ so perhaps MS should take a stake #
  • @paulmwatson but for Nokia that's much worse than being bought. They usd to b much higher up the value chain than FoxConn πŸ™‚ #
  • @jvbrennan @paulmwatson it doesn't look good for them but MS could get a lot of mobile talent+patents really cheap right now. #
  • @paulmwatson @jvbrennan they better hurry πŸ™‚ Stats for NOKIV are painful reading. http://t.co/e1Tx4lrU #
  • @paulmwatson @jvbrennan about the best you can say. NOKIV's annual 54% volatility & -53% return are better than an Irish bank πŸ™‚ #
  • @LiamDelaneyEcon how long are you supposed to speak for? 350 slides is death by powerpoint πŸ™‚ #
  • Rooney looking out of sorts. England playing crosses in for Carroll (on the bench) #euro2012 #
  • @CMacaBhaird he still looked out of sorts. It wasn't a "vintage goal" but Eng got the result they wanted. You'd take that 10 times out of 10 #
  • @MontyC Rooney's hair[plug]style is intimidating. @rosbunny said she'd cross the street in terror if she saw him πŸ™‚ #
  • @vdmeersven I was going to say I was afraid of mind reading future tech but you… hhmm… #
  • RT @DZone: Do not use count(*) – http://t.co/skmK5dul – @DZone Big Link by mah6326955 <just in case dba's #
  • @hejsonja it's what you say after you've said everything else. During your week there was more of the "everything else" πŸ™‚ #
  • @marklittlenews tweet of the week πŸ™‚ Care to give the hotel a "plug"? #
  • @carolinesimons I'm not sure the converse is true. Us europeans are very good consumers, when given cheap credit #
  • @hejsonja not sure about Swedish law but under Irish/UK law that could mean a huge defamation pay out #
  • @normanwyse The mental contortions of the "trap destroyed confidence" claims overriden by blunt comparison of Irish v Spain / Italy players #
  • @dermotcasey the line about Will "only seeming liberal" because he doesn't believe hurricanes are caused by gay marriage is hilarious #
  • @normanwyse that's the only criticism I think is reasonable.. definitely better. Not sure how much better but… #
  • @normanwyse totally agree #
  • @vdmeersven it was a joke. You've read my mind as I was going to say that… #
  • @kirwan_david yes, it's useful that way. Wouldn't work on github ruby apps w/o rvm. Too many version problems. #
  • @davidcullinane it's certainly an interesting dilemma Labour are finding themselves in. A schism or a decimation may lie in store. #
  • @dizz I agree πŸ™‚ #
  • @pixievondust Must watch. Thanks for the link. #
  • @pixievondust very good so far. Quite a few in #tssg watching #deriseminars #
  • OWL Full for "god users" only πŸ™‚ ( #deriseminars live at http://t.co/SxYTQ17j) #
  • @thenext100k they'll set them off anyway. That's the Greek spirit #
  • @MatinaStevis good luck. Quite a bit of Greek support in Ireland for some reason πŸ™‚ #
  • @paulmwatson philosophy, logic, mathematics & possibly the 1st computer. Greece hd gd innings πŸ™‚ #
  • @vdmeersven that sounds like a dreadful waste of paper πŸ˜‰ #
  • Shit #euro2012 #
  • Every time Angela Merkel claps her hands a fairy dies #euro2012 #
  • @vdmeersven that was being kind. #
  • @MontyC can't stand her. All deluded self satisfaction & patronizing politics #
  • @MontyC ah I suppose. Spain is our last hope. #
  • @MontyC and like star wars it's all about an economic dispute & empire building by subterfuge πŸ˜› #
  • @paulsavage haha brilliant #
  • @MontyC even George Lucas decided to leave that dialogue on the cutting room floor #
  • Germany just kicked Greece out of the #euro [s] #
  • @vdmeersven galant? an underused word #
  • @Nosemonkey similar arguments were made against an Irish devaluation in '93 & turned out to be incorrect. #
  • @Nosemonkey For a few yrs post 93 devaluation aided Ireland's competitiveness to attract FDI. No evidence of dom goods substitution factors #
  • This game would really liven up if France scored #euro2012 #
  • Well done #schumi He rolled a few years back today #f1 #
  • @eoinbutler doh! I hope nobody took the car. #
  • β€œ@piersmorgan: Carroll – the Β£35m striker who didn't fancy taking a penalty.” < cos he's crap #
  • @wellboy76 not as shit as Carroll. #
  • @wellboy76 Not denying your opinion but I don't hold it. Carroll headed the ball onto Italy defenders, didn't hold the ball up #
  • @derektroy first time I ever retweeted him πŸ™‚ and I agree he's a twat. #
  • @derektroy but a 35M striker. Are you kidding me? Gerrard was great tho #
  • @wellboy76 Wellbeck wasn't poor. Completely disagree re. Carroll. Rooney was mediocre. #
  • @derektroy fair enough. was odd that from a 1st half perf w/ some positives Eng played worst 75 minutes since WC #
  • @jbeddoes we can dream πŸ™‚ #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-06-17

  • RT @joestiglitz: Euro Strength Seen By Stiglitz Removing Greek Debt http://t.co/6vTNRK6J <must read #
  • @VCurrentAffairs is he marching ? πŸ™‚ #
  • An important thing about testing is that someone sends you a log file suggesting something is wrong, you should read it πŸ™‚ #
  • @klillington article in the Sunday Times yest talking about bureaucracy of biz in france v uk. Ireland is lss bureaucratic thn both #
  • @adrianweckler and academic staff afaik. #
  • @derektroy you'll see a unicorn on your way home. #
  • @paulmwatson small country. everyone hd a friend in Waterford πŸ™‚ #
  • @TomRaftery @rhysiedarby that lad is playing with fire (apologies) #
  • @derektroy haha. I'm sure there's a real one somewhere. #
  • @paulmwatson @unakavanagh from looking at @sweden 's blog her tweets can't be any surprise to those who chose her as a curator. #
  • @paulmwatson who hasn't πŸ˜› #
  • @unakavanagh @paulmwatson have to admit, I'm laughing at it & so's the missus. It's a wind-up yah for sure πŸ™‚ #
  • @paulmwatson I know that, but I'm sure there exist employees in other companies such that … πŸ™‚ #
  • @paulmwatson I mean that as a set theoretical purely abstract mathematical example. (of course) #
  • @donnabrazile @zite but will they remember that when they vote? (hope so!) #
  • Methinks @sweden will be nearly as famous as a fictional lesbian, a boxy car & tennis playing legend http://t.co/n3A2hIaJ (cc @paulmwatson) #
  • Oooh #controversial Volvo's haven't been so cool since Roger Moore drove a p1800. No seriously, I love the new volvo look. #
  • @dermotcasey I couldn't see the US adopting this funding model for instance. Perhaps if they wanted to create the "Greater Depression" #
  • @dermotcasey but hey, if they're absolutely convinced we'll have a weimar-level hyperinflation then they're unlikely to budge. #
  • @dermotcasey actually, I think that's fudge πŸ™‚ This is bout using debt as leverage to increase political control. Cynical+depressing tbh #
  • @dermotcasey LOL "naomi klein" as a howto guide. still chuckling at that one πŸ™‚ #
  • "What disincentivises job take-up? The lack of jobs" http://t.co/SV6UAjkQ (by @notesonthefront) #
  • @dermotcasey @paulmwatson quick off to register jackinthe.box #
  • @paulmwatson squarethe.circle ? #icann I'm not sure the new gTLD's is a great idea tbh http://t.co/UYmX0N31 #
  • @paulmwatson @dermotcasey bit of a shoot-out for .web it appears http://t.co/7F3lppuv #
  • @paulmwatson perhaps but I'm not sure it fixes things. still pseudo hierarchical (cos ownership is at lvl 2) & arguably not scalable. #
  • @paulmwatson identifying 1st lookups in hierarchy of namesspaces. Making money for registrars πŸ™‚ #
  • @paulmwatson excellent question. Increasing domain numbers is a lookup segmentation problem. Prob is latency (cc @briandela) #
  • @briandela @paulmwatson but in theory. Everyone could have their own TLD if we changed how routing worked. e.g. stuff like ILNP #
  • @briandela @paulmwatson yes but that's my problem with it. *.com shouldn't be the sole point of ownership. Too coarse grained & version 1.0 #
  • @paulmwatson @briandela I use national TLD's quite a bit. ie, .co.uk etc. even own 1. #
  • @briandela @paulmwatson but if you're using the TLD for service partitioning, then you need to discuss with net infrastructure vendors. #
  • hacking next generation networks FTW (or something) #
  • RT @TIME: Can a dingo really get your baby? | http://t.co/uKAaSH7J (via @TIMENewsFeed) <topical… #
  • @recklessrik they're still next generation. I write stuff in javascript now. huge progress πŸ™‚ #
  • @recklessrik and user profiling for e_learning systems.. using CORBA message brokers #
  • @thenext100k would love to have had @ireland during #euref πŸ™‚ However, the curation rules are listed here http://t.co/2LVo8wpS #
  • @recklessrik thought the government had lobbyists to make their decisions for them? #
  • @thenext100k yep. the tweet about bravery had me laughing for about 10 minutes. Then there was the "shaved viking's chest" dinner. haha #
  • @paulmwatson @morning_ireland see they don't get the pseudo federation either πŸ™‚ #
  • RT @nikospan: NYTimes: Time Inc. to Sell Its Magazines on Apple’s Newsstand http://t.co/e4r9oxhw < subscribe! #
  • @sos100 heard a g3 guitar version of Little Wing a few years back. Intense #
  • @namawinelake it is but if their perf wasn't awful he'd be telling us all about it #
  • @thenext100k @tnteacherTim @RichardTol & not reading the report or its conclusions which are being misrepresented by causes du-jour #
  • @sweden same in Ireland. you can get an "honour" in your degree or mid-school examinations. #
  • @NoreenBowden @thenext100k 3 million unrepresented Irish citizens. shocking. #
  • @tnteacherTim that's no problem Tim. Good to have a new follower. #
  • @paulmwatson good grief πŸ™‚ "defending in numbers"? well 11 is a good number. #
  • @MontyC it's in the bag. #
  • @tomhappens spain have "squandered their possession". Victory is assured. #
  • @paulmwatson we're just lulling them into a false sense of security. We'll leave em score again and they'll be well "lulled" #
  • @paulmwatson a new level of "lulled". Silva showed indecent skill there #euro2012 #
  • RT @paulmwatson: @sdempsey we nearly have them now. #itsatrap #euro2012 #
  • @adrianweckler I'd be happy to take tht kind of money to not be CEO of #blackberry Where do I sign up? πŸ™‚ #
  • Spain reduced to cynical fouls in the face of overwhelming Irish opposition. Knew that Alonso fella was no good. #euro2012 #
  • There's no way back for Spain now #optimism #euro2012 #
  • Spain borrowing costs at new high http://t.co/InezQnqT (via @nikospan) so there! #euro2012 #
  • Ole ole ole waving bananas & wishing we woz Spain with their weather, sexy football & better bailout terms #euro2012 #
  • Will someone remind Torres he's shit #coybig #euro2012 #
  • @wellboy76 great anticipation Alan #
  • For those of you watching Irl-Spain in RTE HD, Spain have scored 3. You'll find out in another minute #latency #euro2012 #
  • @LauraNoonanIRL it's a funny old game #boe #euro2012 #
  • @paulmwatson we weren't so shit during the 80s and 90s. #euro2012 #
  • @m2thefizzle 4-0 now. probably 2-0 on RTE HD. Might switch to it to cheer myself up πŸ™‚ #euro2012 #
  • @m2thefizzle πŸ˜€ #
  • Look Spain, what about some friggin PIGIS solidarity??? #euro2012 #
  • Missus @rosbunny made me a spanish omelette for tea. harsh #euro2012 #
  • @SiviPanda but our fans are signing. #
  • RT @GTCost: What's there to 'review'?! We played. We lost. We shall play again! < stoic #
  • @m2thefizzle death by 1000 cuts & 4 goals #
  • @themichaelowen @pamelaaobrien suspect that if the English fans were as supportive they'd see less jittery performances πŸ™‚ #
  • @carolinesimons a wave of unstructured defaults across the periphery would fix that. No balanced DE budget then. #
  • Merkel says Germany to reject 'quick' crisis solution at G-20, Europe must move toward political union < perversion of democracy #
  • @ubfid @wallacemick finding myself in complete agreement with you. Mick's speech in the Dail was v reasonable also #
  • @tnteacherTim I think she's in line for the Napoleon Prize http://t.co/2rt7hFlG #
  • @LauraNoonanIRL more actuarially sensible than much of their mid-noughties lending though πŸ™‚ #
  • @VCurrentAffairs he's actually dressing down for the Dail it seems πŸ™‚ #
  • @carolinesimons I've assumed their "but" is already balanced πŸ™‚ #
  • @EamoZ @carolinesimons I wonder if there's any daft economic sanction minister loonan wouldn't defend. #
  • @nikospan no but a specific battle caused by failure of some liberals to comprehend statistical weakness of his conclusions. #
  • @bryanfox10 was funny listening to an Irish voice telling the US president about favouring "foreigners over American workers?” #muppet #
  • @paulmwatson thought she was reading Cantor & became inspired. #
  • Clear penalty for Greece. Awful decisions by the referee. Wonder how much Russia paid for him πŸ™‚ #euro2012 #
  • @thenext100k same here. friends in Athens are watching on big screens. The city will go mad(der) if they win. #
  • @tweeting_keith @davidcochrane only the start. This form of political bullying will sow seeds of disharmony for generations. #
  • @pixievondust I'd miss such "characters" if I left Ireland. #
  • @sweden @hejsonja fascinating week. funny & entertaining in equal measure. #
  • RT @john_mcguirk: Euro crisis does strange things to normal politics. Here I am, cheering on Syriza. Someone needs to take a stand< +1 #
  • @thenext100k cheering on the dutch. can't stand ronaldo #porned #
  • @thenext100k can't believe the Dutch defence though. Usually Dutch teams are disciplined at the back. #
  • @paulmwatson anybody but Ronaldo #porned #
  • @ewanmcintosh sounds lovely. #
  • @MontyC Ronaldo oozes arrogance from every oily pore. I can smell his smug self-satisfaction from here πŸ™‚ #
  • @maryroche arghh, someone I like even less than Ronaldo. #
  • @liamooo most do. fantastic keiser report at http://t.co/9LDT3fiK #
  • @maryroche which, Anton or Ronaldo? πŸ˜€ #
  • @thenext100k hope ye win but it doesn't look good right now. #
  • @dermotcasey @kenanmalik the R-rated videogame addicted boy has some hope of growing out of it. Ferguson's malady is incurable. #

  • @normanwyse phony systemisation & pseudo quantifiability http://t.co/Jcsbv5LW #
  • @Maevequill it doesn't seem that offensive. Just a bit of sillness. #
  • @edeljennings also, they reduce stress which is the enemy of creative solutions. #
  • @normanwyse yes and he has settled with the revenue commissioners. I believe he should resign however. #
  • @normanwyse lol.. sent that to someone else.. meant to send Adam Curtis "All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace" http://t.co/HTUj2T6Q #
  • @normanwyse we're having a funny conversation on FB about In Bruges and the midget/dwarf thing πŸ™‚ #
  • @normanwyse that documentary helped me through a 12 hour flight & an insipid rom com. #

  • @brianw weather is shit brian. we had torrential rain on Friday. #
  • @LiamDelaneyEcon quite a few onetime dotcom millionaires out there. life goes on. #
  • @LiamDelaneyEcon many dotcom millionaires were kids or early 20 somethings. they got loans agnst share options. saw it happen #
  • @normanwyse considering it's based entirely on economics & perspective on money value/trust it reflects nothing but flawed human psyche #
