Monsoon Weather and Socialthing.
We had a monsoon here this afternoon, and just the threat of a little bit of rain kept all the crazies and old people in their houses, giving us a reasonably slow day. The most excitement we had was a crazy woman who bolted up the the drop off window and frantically shouted at me, in all caps, “CAN YOU HOLD IT FOR ME UNTIL TOMORROW WHEN I HAVE MONEY?!?!”
I’d never seen the crazy woman before, so I looked at her and simply said, “Ma’am, I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.”
I’m in the process of testing out SocialThing. So far, I’m not too impressed. It’s incredibly slow. Things take forever to show up in the “friendstream”; Eddie used SocialThing to post to a couple of different services and while his updates went out as expected, they showed up at different times, with about an hour delay between them at most. And although I’ve entered the correct password 15 times now, it still won’t authenticate my Twitter account.
Update: It seems to authenticate now. There’s still a delay, but not as bad. I’m sure that if I was active on more social networks or had more friends on the ones that I do use SocialThing might be a bit handier for me, but so far I’m sort of “meh” about it. If you use Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Flickr, etc, add me and make me feel special and whatnot.
