So my hosting company contacted me with a notice that said I am violating my terms by using my hosting account to store files that are not associated with the site itself. Items in violation:

Music, videos, etc… So I deleted them. It’s not a big deal. I have the music in the 3 other places now. (External Hard Drive, USB Stick, & Blackberry). The videos were all crap I downloaded a couple of years ago to watch on my phone. I have since moved on from watching full length movies on my phone so, delete.

twitter_birdWell when I initially wrote the original Twitter Thursday blog I was thinking I was going to write every week. That didn’t happen but I thought I would give an update. That was 10 months ago and it is amazing how much twitter and the way I use it has changed. I pretty much read twitter several times a day in short bursts.

I have become what I would say “familiar” with my 725 twerps that I follow. I really cannot even fathom how I could keep up with more than that. I am really close to hitting a saturation point I think. For example, if there is a NASCAR press conference at the track, there is 6 of the 25 reporters there are racing to tell us all the same exact quote at the same exact time. Like a rubber stamp. That is when I start thinking, I don’t need to follow every NASCAR reporter on the planet do I? One of these guys would have gotten the information to me right? Then I think how I would lose those clever tweets of the others if I did do that.

I thought this was pretty cool. I saw a website where somebody posted their Blackberry Messenger Barcode and asked people to add him. I had just recently upgraded so I tried it where I took a photo of the barcode and my phone knew who this guy was. Very cool! So anyway, if you have a blackberry add me.

twitter_birdWell being on vacation this week does have some advantages. I get to play on the Internet all day! Anyway, today I have focused on everything Twitter. I have had Twitter for a while now but I still feel I am not taking full advantage of it. Here is how I have been using it:

  • I have a wordpress plugin, wordbook, that will post to Facebook any blogs I post from my website. There is also a Facebook application of the same name that must be active as well.

Mike - Oceanway, 1996, Studio A, Focusrite #4 console. Oceanway - Studio A - Focusrite #4 Console Well it has been a while since I last posted but I have been busy. I have finishing off my MP3 collection. As a audio recording engineer in my previous career I really have the joy of music ingrained in my veins. As I have stated before a primary reason for this website was to back up all of my music that I have on my blackberry. Well I have pretty much filled up the blackberry (8GB’s almost!) and have finished the Download page and the Album Artwork page.
