egotism, social lolworking

Well, I got my twitter archive, and after checking the contents into a private github repo, I figured that the best use of the next few hours (over a few days) would be to choose my favorite tweet per month that I've used Twitter. In 2010 I pretty much only @-replied to a few people and didn't make any new tweets, but then in March 2011 when I started at Mozilla, I started using it more.

Just pasting the raw results since I've already spent enough time on this :-)

@safiiru: If it makes you feel any better, I'm older than you and I don't have a PhD yet either.

@safiiru Yeah, you've probably seen me rant before about how computer scientists don't seem to understand not wanting to be evil.

@pigworker I can really only approve of anything that discourages reddit commenting.

@cayleehogg Nah, to really be adults you have to buy your own SUV b/c you never know when you'll need to move furniture. Also, a house.

@cayleehogg "Restart Scripting" under the Proof General menu. The general gets unhappy when you don't do that every couple hours.

@safiiru Wow, same for me -- and many of them appear to enjoy Orson Scott Card. This can't be good.

@ccshan Definitely! I would much rather see 140 characters of sniping than hear a carefully-prepared talk summarizing years of research.

@cayleehogg It's the old HRC tune: "lip service gladly given, but safety requires avoiding actual activism."

Why do I still read #reddit? I like to think of it as fuzz testing for my belief system.

Thinking that "don't trust whitey" is the best advice I've gotten lately.

3 hours in, already overheard a guy on the 12-Sandy enthusiastically recounting his meth cooking experiences. Well-done, Portland.

In reality, my hobbies look something like 'surviving clinical depression' and 'resisting kyriarchy'. Neither has gotten me a job yet.

Someday, I'll work someplace where professionalism is the norm, not resented as repression of white dudes' free speech.

Sometimes, I like to mix a very small quantity of a substance in water and dilute it repeatedly. But just for fun. No homeo.
