Twitter troubles

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , on March 16, 2009 by clarkykestrel

Wow, 2 posts in as many days! Not really sure why I am doing another post, I just have the blogging bug atm. You could never tell I am meant to be doing coursework could you. Procrastination FTW! Which reminds me of a quote I heard once;

“Procrastination is like masturbation, feels great when you are doing it but in the end you have just fucked yourself.” – Unknown

Sods law has struck again, after blogging about the fact I have Twitter yesterday I have no been troubled with issues today on it. It’s deleting my posts and now my picture is not displaying. I have filed an error report with Twitter support and am yet to hear back, however I thought the Twitter support page had an interesting concept, which seemed vaguely blog worthy with my blogging urge atm.

Twitter Support

After stating your problem you are asked to fill out a text box titled “I feel:”. I think this is quite a nice feature and makes Twitter seem more like they care about your experience using their service.

This got me wondering though if your problem gets preferential treatment based upon what you put in this box. If you put “Extremely annoyed” are you more likely to have your problem fixed sooner then someone who puts “confused” and can you use kiss arse techniques to get to the top of the pile by saying things such as “Respectful of the work Twitter support are doing on my behalf” or maybe the folks at Twitter support are more like me and appreciate some humour; I feel “like a rabbit on crack, wielding a mechanised whisk, riding a cat into the battle scene out of 300, the one with the elephants, probably with a battle cry something along the lines of “ARAHRAH I HAS TEH WHISK!”” – Thanks Chris.

So anyway I’ll go back to doing my CPT6 project and waiting for my Twitter to be fixed. There’s still 1 whole day left until the project deadline so you may get another post out of me yet, we’ll see.

So many screenshots!!!

I’ve spent most of the day working on CPT6, who for people that read my blog and didn’t take A level computing (that’s only one person I know of) is the project you do throughout your second year of A level computing. I’ve had a very productive day but now my concentration is failing me, so whilst the Rele works its way into my bloodstream I thought I’d knock out a blog post.

After I last wrote a post the benefits of writing on this blog has returned to me. I come here to rant about stuff and then I seem to be a happier person IRL. The last couple of weeks have been good, I actually bother talking to some of first years at college now rather then just sitting there wishing they were the people from my year and I’ve been putting more effort in academically. On that note I was very happy this week to get my first exam results back ever that did not show an E grade; Computing – 2 A’s, Environmental Science – B and Government and Politics – A.

Since last time I wrote I have set up a twitter account and as my friend Josh pointed out it’s weird how on Facebook I can have no desire to update my status yet on Twitter I am fine with doing it at every opportunity. Any twitterers out there can follow me here.

As much as I like coming on here and just writing posts of my rants I do feel there should be more to my blog then there currently is at times and I am struggling with where to go from here. I already have friends whos blogs review, offer technical support/reviews TV shows, show art & craft, list funny quotations and criticize everything, where is my place in the blogosphere? Is my place purely to write grouchy posts about the comings and goings of my life? I guess if it wasn’t I wouldn’t be The Rambling Grumpy Adolescent.
