a tech from Upstate NY who lives in Charlotte NC. I try to be interesting...
I am offline today
it's too nice out. - Mike Nencetti
4 bags of lime and 1/2 bag of fertilizer (and weed control) are now on the lawn.
Today is not my birthday.
nor is it tomorrow. - Mike Nencetti
Nor is it mine but tomorrow? Nope not it either... - Rick Schmidt
Far out, it's not mine either! Weird coincidence. - Craig Eddy
what are the odds? freaky. - Mike Nencetti
Splitter. - Jeremy
Happy Un-Birthday. - Judy Jones
I watered our aerated and seeded lawn early this morning. It's odd watering a lawn when it is only 39F.
Hardcore Mike is very hardcore - MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
our lawn is green. 33% dandelion, 33% clover, and 33% grass. this weekend is weed and feed, and lots of lime. hopefully next year the percentages will change. :) - Mike Nencetti
Blue Eyed Mutant of FriendFeed
that's me . - Mike Nencetti
Thanks for the link. My father has green (hazel) eyes, mother has brown eyes. My sister and I have blue. younger brother and sister have brown. - Mike Nencetti
I like seltzer
=?utf-8?B?L01lZGlhIENhcmQvQmxhY2tCZXJyeS9waWN0dXJlcy9JTUcwMDMyMC5qcGc=?=.jpeg
Yes, the plain seltzer. - Mike Nencetti from email
ingredients: carbonated water. - Mike Nencetti
I like (a) Seltzer - Alka Seltzer :D - Acharad Sami VanJoulee
Better than tonic water? - Ciaoenrico
I am a former diet coke drinker. this is healthier. Took a while to get used to it. - Mike Nencetti
Don't forget to vote.
leaving in t-25min & counting, ;) - chaz2b
What are you voting for? - Eivind
local elections, mayor, council, board of education. - Mike Nencetti
Thanks :) - Eivind

Hi, Mike! :) - directeur
just threw that hi out into the net, see who's out there. quiet night for me, just beer and ff. - Mike Nencetti

Upgraded Ubuntu to Karmic Koala 9.10
=?utf-8?B?SU1HMDAzMTYuanBn?=.jpeg
And it is running as slow as this turtle. (That's my wife's hand. )Actually it's just firefox that is hogging the cpu. No time to play today. Tomorrow is another day. - Mike Nencetti from email
Lolrtle ;) - Bicentennial (Franc)
The turtle in this pic, (my wife named him sam) is upset that he would be associated with Karmic Koala. He has since disappeared. Ubuntu 9.10 is SLOOOOOOOW. - this new Dell PC running Dual Core Intel 2.5ghz and 3 gig ram is running like a 1.3 ghz celeron with 512m ram, with one application, FireFox 3.5 open. System Monitor is showing the 2 CPU's taking turns hitting 100% utilization.... more... - Mike Nencetti
yet to try KK - ffcode
I switched over to vista. the processors are now at 3% wish I had more time to experiment. It almost appears to be a video issue. EDIT It's not FireFox, Moving the mouse causes the processors to hit 100% utilization. EDIT 2 - I have no audio after the upgrade - time will tell what will become of my Komatose Koala Ubuntu - Mike Nencetti
Update, I downgraded to Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 and all is well. (Blew away the partition and reloaded from DVD) I left a 2nd partition open in case I want to run 9.10 side by side with 9.04 at a later date. - Mike Nencetti
My most recent mug shot.
mug.jpg
I collect coffee mugs. only the red mug is used for coffee. The others just hold pens or collect dust. - Mike Nencetti
nice collection mike :) the white one looks like the one i'm actually using - giuseppe c. | markgreene
No idea where the white mug came from. The bottom says Reading China, made in Poland. - Mike Nencetti
LOL - Sandra Large
*Mug* shot, geddit? ^_^ - Ron Bailey

turtle was trying to avoid being mowed over. Fortunately I noticed him trying to get out of the way. - Mike Nencetti from email
Oh good, a happy ending. ^_^ - Ron Bailey
My wife moved it to a safe place and made it a snack. - Mike Nencetti
Your wife ATE it? ;P - Anika
haha. :) no, but she probably could. - Mike Nencetti
Mike and Bev voted.
Mike now has Google Wave.
anyone can connect, um... once I learn how to use this. - Mike Nencetti
mnencetti@googlewave.com - Mike Nencetti
I have an extra one Mike .. know anyone that needs ? - johnpiercy
I am not aware of anyone. - Mike Nencetti
ok - johnpiercy
All done waving for the night. quality time with my wife > wave - Mike Nencetti
No issues this week in FriendFeed. This is a good thing.
Thanks Faceb- err Friendfeed server people! - Mike Nencetti
I am talking server issues. Just felt the need to clarify. - Mike Nencetti
I have Twitter Lists, should I build one or just use someone else's friendfeed list?
Of course this means I will have to start using Twitter more. ... - Mike Nencetti
Many people on FF have protected updates on Twitter, can't add them. - Mike Nencetti
Yeah, manual stinks, and using someone else's means you will have people you don't follow and missing some you do. I'd like to see an app to sync up other service friends to Twitter lists, so for example, I could automagically have all my FF friends added to a Twitter List. - LogEx
I made a list of 80 or so Friendfeeders. I will add more tomorrow. it is time consuming. - Mike Nencetti
Using FriendFeed's lists as the starting point is very useful. If you curated those lists, just move them into Twitter. - Louis Gray
Note to self, when building twitter lists (I have to talk about it here, have to be hush hush on Twitter) check the number of tweets the person has. Over-tweeting is noise.
My friendfeed group looks fine, my other test group is well.... a bit of a mess... basically just one person who tweets every 5 minutes. - Mike Nencetti
No point in having Twitter lists, Robert Scoble does it for us. He reads everything and passes on the good bits. Just read Robert, you get the news save a whole lot time to get on with your real life. - Gilbert Harding
I suppose you are correct for a tech list. I still need to make a FriendFeed list, and a local people list. There is more to the net than tech. - Mike Nencetti
How refreshingly true :-) - Gilbert Harding
@LordGU you are a poet! I may use that line too.
Happy Thursday
Mike is testing Twitter lists.... So far so good.
oops I was not supposed to tweet this. - Mike Nencetti

No croissants? Where do you keep your croissants? - Glen Campbell
No perishable food. Good reminder I need some non perishable food, out of that too. thanks! - Mike Nencetti
Traffic in Uptown Charlotte was supposed to be heavy this morning, but it was not. Neither was I85.

No I don't have CS4. - Mike Nencetti
I just sent you an invitation to Wave. “Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick”. I was waiting about a week for my invite. - Artemko
Thanks Artemko! :) - Mike Nencetti
Apples remind me to floss.
Afternoon walk on the greenway. Yes I need a camera
walk.jpeg
My wife and I took an hour long walk on the greenway. Yes this is another cheezy blackberry pic. One of these days I will take photography seriously. I think I need a camera first. - Mike Nencetti
In a moment you would get that all these photos already done jillion times before and even more after :) http://www.flickr.com/search... The main thing is not to lose heart and keep going to find your own passion. - Artemko
I agree, I don't need a hi res camera. its just that there are certain moments, like this one, when I wish I had one. - Mike Nencetti
Oops, there appears to be a problem.
Going for a walk on the greenway in a while. If I had a good camera, I would take awesome pics of foliage. - Mike Nencetti

Dell Inspiron 530s - Purchased online prior to June 26th. 3 gig ram, dual 320 gig hard drives. dual boots with Ubuntu. Appears to be 120$ for the upgrade. - Mike Nencetti
