We were thinking the same thing - and that's just it! I enjoyed last night's much more, and it was such a difference from last weeks...so what gives? Why push out crappy episodes if you can put together *good* ones? Yes! We were thinking the same thing – and that’s just it!

A whole episode with just Turk and Elliot? What the hell, they can't be that expensive. And if the cast was that upset about the way NBC ended everything, you would think they would cut the show a break and take a reduced payroll for a year to send the show out on the right note.

I shouldn't have to have an intermediary step! What's the point of being able to paste a captured screenshot into GIMP, if I can't in turn copy a selection *from* GIMP into something else? Granted, I could use Paint for the whole thing, but GIMP is a much better tool for what I was doing. :-) Well, yes, I tried that, but I shouldn’t have to.

At least you do not need to crop the picture afterwards. I have copied the picture from GIMP, paste it in paint (programs/accesories), then copy again from paint and paste it in Word.

The fact that the Amazon downloader automatically adds the tracks to iTunes for me just makes using it so seamless. In addition, if I happen to get an Amazon gift card, I have the option for using it on things other than music. The only way I'd switch to an iTunes store download is if a track I wanted was cheaper there than on Amazon, and if a search engine or service doesn't check that already, I'm sure someone is working on it now.

(3) by Jess http://www.fiestyturtles.com/pete/2009/01/04/twitter-what/comment-page-1/#comment-482 Jess Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:30:32 +0000 http://www.fiestyturtles.com/pete/?p=512#comment-482 I've had a few random people start following me, usually after I tweet about a subject they are interested in. Most stop following me after a couple of days if I don't mention that subject again. The one semi-useful follower I've acquired was AlaMoanaCenter. Apparently, someone running the enormous mall near me thought it would be a good idea to create a Twitter account with daily sales and happenings. I don't pay much attention to it, but I'd rather read 140 characters of advertising than get junk ads in my mailbox any day of the week.

Slightly pissed even. I may have to write about that, too. Seriously....what the heck? :-) So I finished it, and am still unimpressed. Slightly pissed even. I may have to write about that, too.
