i still like @Twhirl as my micro-blogging client, but it feels slower these days, and it’s no longer being updated. #TwitterClient
“19 Twitter Desktop Apps Compared” (http://bit.ly/18PA46) by @Jbruin gives a decent overview of current #TwitterClient options.

warm sun, cool breezes. my office is the porch swing, while this weather holds. #haiku #HearthHill
weighing the pros & cons of speedy and flexible database design versus dirt cheap hosting with MySQL.

by choice, most of my writing is typed; but when brainstorming at a project’s start, i often prefer fluid scribbling with pen & paper.
sitting on the porch, chatting with Nik, for hours. i don’t get to do this often enough.

no, i’ve never riden Chicago’s commuter rail before this moment. yes, i DID get on the right train. arriving at O’Hare.
#Delta Connection rescheduled so many passengers, because this flight is 2 hours late, that the plane is mostly empty.
just freaked out on tightly scheduled train ride, because there are TWO Harlem stations on Blue Line, one at the wrong end!
the sun has risen, yet i remain earthbound. #United Airlines oversold my flight.

first #United Express, then #Delta Connection, screwed up my flights so bad, i coulda driven to Chicago in the same time!
90% of Cincinnati Airport is a shiny, sprawling, towering mega-hub for #Delta. the other 10% is a ghetto where you find the other airlines.
flying to Chicago for breakfast and meetings with Willa. good morning Willa!
the afternoon was one long meeting with sifting faces & locales. learned much, fast. organizing notes & thoughts on the CTA.
a little disturbed by my accidental imagery. make that “SHIFTING faces & locales”.

on the road at this unnatural hour, not even the Sun of early summer can tinge these hilltops. need coffee.
parked on the dark tarmack is the unnatural conveyance that will soon lift me from this hilltop and propell me westward.

installing some newer software on the older machine, hoping it doesn’t run too slow. (still better than 1 dead battery with no AC outlet).
preparing my older laptop for tomorrow (flying to & from Chicago), because it’s smaller and has extra batteries (drained, now in charger).

today’s coffee rings draw closer together deeper down in the cup.
designing a universal Tagging system to assign and share keywords (aka categories) across — and uniting — multiple databases.
unseen around the bend, across the river and upstream, i hear a neighbor mowing hay (in the field that was underwater at mid-Spring).
discovered the first blackberries ripening in the shade of the old pear tree. note to self: those prickers are not weeds.
talking to Misty Mountain Farm about our grassfed beef & chicken order this summer. anyone want to split a side of heritage beef with me?

my 1st homemade stew passes the true test: it’s even better reheated (if i do say myself). not hungry; ladling a 2nd bowl.

dark rings inside my coffee cup are strata recording my workflow, growing further apart as more @c8h10o2n4 enters my bloodstream.
cooked beef stew from scratch, for the first time since i worked at the Ale House, improvising with local beef, baby potatoes & vegies. mmm.

carrying 2 bags of perishables, we returned home to find the power out. stowing groceries in a cooler with block ice.
earlier, Nik and i were observing how late in the day highnoon had come. now, we’re sitting in the dark.
