Tweetdump - May 6 - 1 p.m. May 7, 2010

Between testing Gwibber and the not-cooperating Me Menu in Ubuntu Lucid and using the surprisingly functional HootSuite service, I've gone against my earlier pronouncement to only use Twitter to promote other things I'm writing/doing.

To keep the tweets from getting buried under the mountain that is Twitter, here is what I've tweeted from May 6 through 1 p.m. today:

@ladailynews is following @tonyrobbins - didn't know he was still doing his thing

Can someone explain how ♺ differs from RT in the lovely world of Twitter?

I'm not expecting it, but it would be very, very nice if HootSuite could add support for Identi.ca.

With HootSuite, sending tweets is so easy, I've gone back on my no-tweet-w/o-link ban

Why is Ubuntu Lucid periodically "forgetting" my chosen sound card (i.e. the one that works)? It's a GNOME issue ...

Few things are more pleasant for the beaten-down Firefox user than the CPU- and RAM-sparing Epiphany Web browser. It's a great GNOME feature

Big change for me: I'm using the Evolution mail client in Ubuntu Lucid. I usually ignore it. IMAP config was easier than I anticipated

Things that play nicely with the Epiphany browser include Gmail, HootSuite, Movable Type. Things that don't: Yahoo Mail.

I updated my daughter's Ubuntu 8.04 LTS box this morning - been running great 1 year +. Curiously, update manager didn't offer 10.04 upgrade

I filed a bug on the Ubuntu Lucid Me Menu - I think changing password, deleting GNOME keyring had something to do with it http://ht.ly/1IiG2

If it works for your given task/site, using GNOME's Epiphany browser is a very pleasant way to interact with the Web.

On my Ubuntu Lucid box, I switched to the Radiance theme (and got rid of the purple wallpaper). Everything is much lighter now.

Yep, I just added my third and final "social media" account, and the Ubuntu Lucid "MeMenu" social bar has returned.

The only thing that will bring back the social bar in my Ubuntu Lucid "MeMenu" is adding another account to Gwibber.

I reformatted the $20 MP3 player - a Centon Craze 4 GB - and that didn't kill it. Something funky happened with the FAT32 flash memory
