  jpetrie: @mittense Send me $700.

  jpetrie: While the iPad is a very nice piece of hardware, I can't find a good practical use for it in my daily life, so I'm returning it.
   

• 04:36:54 pm on April 14, 2010 |

  jpetrie: The fact that lots of senior IW developers are jumping ship does not surprise me in the slightest.

  jpetrie: @Matt_D_ I don't think ads are 'disrespectful,' though. And I don't think that a significant margin would abandon Twitter because of them.
   

• 05:36:23 pm on April 13, 2010 |

  jpetrie: @trojanman9 True, but I'm sure there is at least some market for the feature. We still have ad-blocking software on browsers, after all.
   

• 05:02:15 pm on April 13, 2010 |

  jpetrie: I can only assume Twitter believes there is sufficient mass in web traffic + traffic via official clients alone to make feed ads viable.
   

• 04:52:25 pm on April 13, 2010 |

  jpetrie: I'm curious how (if?) Twitter will try to prevent 3rd party clients from implementing hide-ad features.
   

• 04:51:01 pm on April 13, 2010 |

  jpetrie: @d3dhaxxor Not surprised, just would prefer something not in-feed (always-at-top) for example.
   

• 04:37:27 pm on April 13, 2010 |

  jpetrie: RT @emmastory: Search ads are unobjectionable. But ads in my feed? Emphatically do not want. http://nyti.ms/a5bXnx
   

• 04:31:22 pm on April 13, 2010 |

  jpetrie: @NickMass Cool emulator project! I'm glad @SlimDX is working out for you.
   

• 06:04:26 pm on April 12, 2010 |

  jpetrie: @dsikora You should get a screenshot of the domain parking page that showed up and sell t-shirts. Marketing, GO!
   

• 04:28:13 pm on April 12, 2010 |

  jpetrie: RT @TessFerrandez: RT @scottgu: The final release of VS 2010 & .NET 4 will be available for download Monday morning (~10am PST).
   

• 04:54:53 pm on April 9, 2010 |

  jpetrie: Played Guild Wars all evening.
   

• 08:44:10 pm on April 8, 2010 |

  jpetrie: @Brinstar What, no iPad?
   

• 08:42:55 pm on April 8, 2010 |

  jpetrie: I like these stories about the origins of default desktop pictures for operating systems... this one's for the iPad: http://j.mp/byr0Zl
   

• 08:11:12 pm on April 8, 2010 |

  jpetrie: I'm liking the new stuff in iPhone OS 4, though bummed that multitasking won't work on 3G. Hope there's a new hardware rev at WWDC.
   

• 05:42:35 pm on April 7, 2010 |

  jpetrie: Code is clearly executing here, except I can't seem to find that code in my workspace...
   

• 11:30:28 pm on April 6, 2010 |

  jpetrie: This is a really cool thread on various vim topics: http://j.mp/84yM3Z
   

• 11:06:30 pm on April 6, 2010 |

  jpetrie: Today at lunch, @iomhair referred to my interest in Lego as a "vice."
   

• 07:27:17 am on April 4, 2010 |

  jpetrie: Linkinus has an iPad version of their rather nice IRC client: http://j.mp/a38QkL This is good; that's part of what I'd want to use it for.
   

• 07:09:12 am on April 4, 2010 |

  jpetrie: @Brinstar I have some tea for you. Assuming I do not forget that I want to give it to you and drink it by Monday. I will try!
   

• 01:14:30 am on April 2, 2010 |

  jpetrie: As of today, I'm a Microsoft DirectX/XNA MVP.

  jpetrie: @angrylemon :D

• 07:08:04 pm on March 31, 2010 |

  jpetrie: I have another pork belly to cook this weekend... suggestions? Needs to be something that can be done the day before and set, ideally.
   

• 07:01:38 pm on March 31, 2010 |

  jpetrie: @offalchris Sunny here today; any specific restaurants on your agenda?
   

• 05:43:46 pm on March 31, 2010 |

  jpetrie: @d3dhaxxor TweetDeck maybe?
