Checking the twitter.com at 2-3 hours intervals is enough for anybody who got work to do. These twitter clients are totally "time waster"s. Why do we want to hear what people are doing/saying all the time when we are working?

Most of the people I follow on Twitter (or pay attention to) deal directly with my work. (Non-profit and Drupal/Wordpress development) so its helpful to have a direct line with multiple people for my workflow.

That issue is pretty crazy. The WP-Hackers mailing list has been consumed with it today... I'm not really sure if I get it.
- Sean Sullivan
Yeah, it is crazy. One of my free GPL themes that I contributed back to the community has been removed because I have an affiliate link to iThemes and WooThemes on my website. I don't sell any themes, but my free GPL theme was removed.

Ridiculous. A rational I read about has to do with not wanting to be spammed with duplicate submissions for those looking to build backlinks to a site that generates ad revenue. Feels like Automattic is biting the hand that feeds it...

"This is a demo of "Alchemy", Adobe's C/C++ -> SWF compiler. It's no "conversion to Flash" though; it's an actual compilation to SWF bytecode that performs much faster than a higher-level language like Actionscript 3 does. More information: http://labs.adobe.com/technol..."

Very cool stuff. I pulled down the Alchemy toolkit, it's pretty rough still. If they can polish it a bit more or GPL it, then I think it'll be ready to use in the real world.

I still like that opening screen of Doom. "Free of charge... Suggested price $9.00"

"Wow... anyone can get a nomination these days. Big Deal... the only thing that counts are the winners... all the other "nominees" are just losers."
