The "Random Thoughts" Thread

Re: The "Random Thoughts" Thread

From a thread in the Feedback section, it was something TGN was testing out. From what I understand, you could click that button and Twitter directly about that post/link. Meh.

..

I think Twitter has its uses, but can easily just become spam from people microblogging every little thought that pops into their head.

I just started using it, but have been very selective in who I follow. I get updates from a couple major news sites, some sports sites, and a couple of major video game sites, and that's about it. I have no interest in who's eating a sandwich, or going to a movie/watching TV, or whatever. I just want official news.

And it's all incoming info only - I don't post updates about what I'm doing.

I have a plug-in for Firefox that will show me the latest updates to my list every 30 minutes (adjustable). I find it handy. I get the "breaking news" headlines to let me know something is happening, and I can follow up if I want, or just close the window.

For video games in particular, instead of sitting on a site refreshing if you're waiting for a patch or release or something, you can receive a Twitter update letting you know it's ready, and then head on over there.

For what I use it for anyway, I like it.

Yea, thats what I use it for. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Can't the same thing be achieved using RSS feeds?

Gotta buy a new network card. My old one broke when I went to LAN yesterday, but I had fun playing Mirrors Edge anyway :p

My tablet even lags when I'm playing CS 1.6

Re: The "Random Thoughts" Thread

There's a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
