Twitter Week: 2009-05-16

  • @jdludlow Mind sending a summary of your game of Corner Lot? A comment on my blog would be great – that’s how the rest are reporting. in reply to jdludlow #
  • Played 1832. I’m not a Bill Dixon-game fan (cf 1870). Too many levers, fiddle, exceptions & chrome. Bank private & price protection are nuts #
  • I should learn: the lower the player count, the faster the train rush in #18xx. 1860 tonight? #
  • Played my favourite #18xx: 1860. Hugely facile & dynamic: 4 competing rhythms/phases, nasty tile set & track, many precise timing points. #
  • @msaari 1860 is the next on JKLM reprint list, incl mult improvements over 1st ed. It is a truly weird 18xx, weirder than 18EU or 1841 #18xx in reply to msaari #
  • @msaari Yup. JKLM’s relationship with printer is not…ideal. I am patiently on edge of my seat. 1st ed took 8mo from order to ship. #18xx in reply to msaari #
  • RT @icheyne:On the advice of @securitynow podcast 195, I’m disabling Javascript in Adobe Reader - http://is.gd/z833 #
  • RT @ericries:Great article “Fear is the mind-killer” by @ericries… reduce consequences, and fear often, fear early. http://is.gd/z33N #
  • Retweet this if you disagree with Twitter’s decision to hide replies to people you don’t follow. #fixreplies #
  • @icheyne I use the all-replies model to find useful people & conversations. It is the only signal network that Twitter actually represents. in reply to icheyne #
  • Nail-biter Stephenson’s Rocket: Last move merged all networks into 1, giving me share & station lead & win after trailing all game by 40+VP #
  • The most clear visual evidence we live on an orbiting planet, seen while standing on said planet: http://bit.ly/pK9I1 #
  • I doubt: RT @ericries:RT @mashable: Twitter’s Response to #fixreplies: We Can’t (please RT) - http://bit.ly/FAoUV #
  • Oh #twitter, the caterpillar of death is far less charming than the #failwhale of uncertainty! #
  • Remember how the HHGTTG runs on about how very large space is, how unimaginably huge & population zero? Yeah, me too: http://tr.im/lgVx #
  • @ChrisTheCat I’m mostly pleased with Nambu. in reply to ChrisTheCat #
  • @ev Voice amplification of @ replies is what made #twitter useful to me. I hope #fixreplies doesn’t toss the baby with the bath water. #
  • @ChrisTheCat Just upgraded #twitterfon. Where are the ads? in reply to ChrisTheCat #
  • @andrew_chen Did the “coffee?” email you requested I send you get spam trapped? #
