I think someone posted that in response to this photo I showed a while ago...

I must get around to working on the rest of those old photos.

Happily, I still see my tool bar but there is also a menu in almost the

2014-05-23 Thread John

I know that in Firefox if menus are turned off or hidden there's a
couple of spots on the remaining tool bars you can right click to
"customize" and turn the menus back on. You just have to keep right
clicking until you find one of those sweet spots.

Chrome may do the same thing.

The biggest complaint I'm seeing about Firefox (especially in the
latest update) is how much the developers are trying to make it look
like Chrome. In the latest Firefox update much that was previously
visible (like tool bars & menus) are now hidden by default, which makes

Look for "Tools" on the menu, if Chrome defaults menus to on.

One of the items on that menu should be "Options" or "Preferences"

If it works anything like Firefox, you turn all of them off and see if
that makes the problem goes away.

Then turn them back on one at a time until the problem comes back. The
last one you turned on before the problem returns is the bad guy.

metaphorically speaking, perhaps — read the descriptions and use intuition; 
Chrome should work fine without any extensions, so if there's anything there 
seemingly related to blocking or privacy, i would stop and think about why you 
added it, possibly do a search on it to see if there are known problems, or 
just try disabling it temporarily and seeing if you can load twitter.com

Mark writing about his videos of travelling to GFM made me think (as it

never dull in my job!


i'll put you on a list to look in on now and then; my actual follows are 
usually for local, timely things, and a few news sources, plus some saved

Twitter is what you make of it — i rarely tweet, usually incomprehensible

i think Ann's Chrome must be using a very restrictive "blocker" extension or

The point is your statement that you have "read Twitter" is as valid
as the student's claim to have read the OED. For every academic who
uses the OED there is indeed plenty of superfluous material (and, yes,
even errors), as far as far as his/her individual area of expertise is
concerned, but they have the sense not to dismiss the whole simply
because they aren't interested in some of the parts.

The Twitter feeds I follow include the Paris Review and the London
Review of Books. Both frequently have useful and concise pointers to
articles that I would otherwise miss. And never any dross. For all the
undoubted silliness in Cotty's Twitter feed, he and other journalists
find it a valuable tool for business purposes, keeping clients and
peers appraised of important matters. I know of physicians who use it
similarly.

If you're going to write off any medium that supplies dross as well as
value I recommend you delete all web browsers from your computer, too.

OT - Twitter

2014-05-21 Thread Steve Cottrell
Mark writing about his videos of travelling to GFM made me think (as it
always does!) that there may be some on the list who do Twitter. I tend
to use it on a professional basis with a bit of humour thrown in
(keeping my FB stuff just general junk) and regularly post pics and
updates of work environments along with retweets from colleagues in
filming and news. If anyone's interested, by all means have a follow -
never dull in my job!

You don't actually have to register copyright to own copyright, though for 
some reason, courts in the USA inexplicably seem to demand that copyright be 
registered before they will look seriously at ownership. Probably, if you 
are going to post a newsworthy photo, you should be looking at it as a 
public service rather than as a money grab.

We all know what we think of ambulance chasers, after all.

Can you explain what a twitter dashboard is? I have heard of twitter, some 
application where people broadcast short SMS messages to selected others. But I 
don't know what a dashboard is in that context. The photo seems to be just some 
juvenile graffiti. Of the two images, I prefer the second as it provides a bit 
more context for where the graffiti has been placed.

But those tweets are exceedingly rare.  Like the "there's nobody down
here but us wineskins" type graffiti from Pompei, they are
interesting because they show how banal and otherwise human empire
makers actually are.  The accumulated effluvia of the internet,
mostly by and from people whose most important decision is what to
put on their toast this morning, pales into insignificance.

Someday that Twitter archive could be as fascinating and important as the

I find that Twitter enriches my life and helps me do my job. I
entirely understand that others do not. Somehow, those of us who use
it generally manage to avoid dismissive/patronizing comments about
those who don't.  -T



Unfortunately, that has not been my experience with twitter users in

Re: OT: Twitter client for Mac OS X

2009-10-28 Thread Nuno Miguel dos Santos Baeta
I use Twitter to follow news, e.g., pentaxusers, leica_camera,
japanexposures, naraneko (Portuguese) and some photographers who
'tweet'.  I guess I could use other ways to follow the news, but I got
used to this method.

BTW, I am sure that I have nothing important to say, so I don't
'tweet' (I have made seven 'tweets' exchanged with my only allowed
follower, my older brother :-)

My opinion about these kind of 'social networks', if anyone cares, is
that they are a loss of my precious time, but I presume some people
find them useful.  I prefer socializing in a 'café' drinking a coffee
(Portuguese/Italian version), beer, wine, plain water, etc :-)

Re: GESO - Resubmitting to get on Twitter

2009-09-19 Thread Luiz Felipe
Tim, I feel the option is a good feature, and assuming "your" tweeter is 
part of PDML for good the extra option should be made clear - perhaps 
included in the FAQ.


Since you already touched the subject of choosing to be or not present 
on the tweeter, how about a [no tweeter] switch on the topic too? I do 
apologize if the feature is already there and I missed it...
