And there you have it, me speaking about twitter. As promised - update - I’m happy with all the positive reactions this video is having. Thank you.

Nouvo is a show I have enjoyed watching many times, aired on Swiss television and in podcast form until recently. They are changing format and appearing on the website and news programs from now on. What makes this particularly interesting is that they left a comment on this blog, asking to interview the person behind Warzabidul, my twitter name for the past two years. I accepted and after two half hour phone calls we spent half a day.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of someone deciding to spend a good portion of the day with me, something that is quite rare. It’s also something that is important to a topic that I have spent quite a bit of time thinking about. How much of your time do you give to others, and what would you like to receive in exchange for that time. I ask this because whilst Kutcher and CNN are turning followers into a commodity I value the dialogue that I have with those that I follow, and that follow me.

Gravity is a twitter client for the s60 and I recently installed it on my N95 and so far I’m very happy with it. With an intuitive interface it makes being logged in to two twitter accounts and one identica account very easy. What is especially nice is that you select which account you want to look at and by scrolling left and right you see the friend’s timeline, the replies, your tweets, your DM and finally searches if you want.

Nambu is a desktop client for Twitter available only to users of Leopard 10.5. What makes this application great is that it has automatic threading of conversations, making it easier to keep track of conversations. The multi-column to single column view is also easy to interact with and creating groups and adding friends is a breeze. As a result of it’s intuitive nature it’s a pleasure to use this application There are two views that make it amazingly easy to see what your twitter friends have hyperlinked to.

Today I was pleasantly surprised after racketing in the mountains to discover that my phone’s battery had not depleted. I was using sportstracker for over two hours and some charge was still left after an hour and a half. There was so much battery left in fact I went for nine more kilometers of walking and still the battery is healthy. That’s not the only thing that’s improved. Now you have maps.

[caption id=“attachment_1111” align=“aligncenter” width=“265” caption=“A funny idea”][/caption] It’s April fool’s day and the swiss have taken advantage of their reputation to start a funny promotional campaign. It’s about the birds soiling the mountains and having crews of people specifically to resolve this problem. Of course it’s an April fool’s joke.

richard - Apr 3, 2009 It’s warzabidul, I don’t remember what your username was for last year. It’s warzabidul as it was last time. I’m still thinking of characters and ideas at the moment.

Remember when I wrote 50,000 words in one month? Today’s challenge is a little different. From tomorrow, and for the next 30 days I will have the task of writing 100 pages for a script within 30 days. That’s about three pages a day and it shouldn’t be too hard. I’ve done a lot of transcribing so I know dialogue when I hear it. I did also have to study it in uni.

Bernie Goldbach - Mar 0, 2009 On a related front, what’s the story with your twitter account? Deleted it because I was fatigued by my other account, was going to give up twitter for good. In the end I went back to the secondary account though. When twitter repair the restore function I may restore the old one. We’ll have to see.
