[Tweeting on Twitter]

:: Posted by Eingang at 00:40 GMT in {1ntern3t}

I've been experimenting a little (ha!) with microblogging at Twitter. Microblogging is like blogging, except extremely succinct--140 characters to be exact. They call these little updates "Tweets". The web site allows you to submit new "Tweets" via instant messaging (Jabber), SMS, or the web. Other people can then "follow" you around as you post your updates throughout the day. Some people are following thousands of people. I'm not that ambitious. I'm only following a small group of people, mostly people from Howard Rheingold's Brainstorms.

If you want to follow my adventures, my Twitter address is @Eingang.

OK, so it's been a little while since I last updated anything here. The problem with being world-famous <shifty eyes> is that you need to be careful about what you say in public. It may come back to bite you in the butt when you least expect it.

I suppose, however, it would be permissible to give a big update for those who are interested.

I need to hear more about your success. My 10yr old is currently being assessed for Adhd and I want to understand that this will not cripple her.

Nice article outlining Canadian music. There are a couple of errors though. 1. Lightfoot's Canadian Railroad Trilogy is about the Canadian Pacific Railway, not the Canadian National (which was built later).2. The band members in Chilliwack are not from that town. Most that I remember are from North Vancouver. They were formerly known as The Collectors but changed their name in the late 60s, early 70s (can't recall exactly) possibly because their old name sounded too "early 60s" and the native name Chilliwack probably better reflected the late 60s philosophy.Chilliwack (my old hometown) sits at the east end of the Fraser Valley where the mountains begin to home in on the city.It's not exactly sitting in a narrow canyon, but it's a far cry from the "wide open spaces of Western Canada" that you describe. That phrase might pertain to the Prairies, but not so much in mountainous British Columbia.

Robert Stewart said in [Songs from a Big Place]:

The "Thin Red Line" refers to the battle of Balaclava, where a regiment of Highland soldiers, the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders, held the line against a Russian Cavalry brigade. The Strangers to Fear is the regimental motto, from "Sans Peur" meaning "Without Fear". And the "A thin red streak tipped with a line of steel" is what a Times war correspondant reported the action as looking like, and the origin of the phrase "Thin Red Line". The regiment then became the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, and is now the 5th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
