Ten years ago : 9/11

Today is a 10 year anniversary of 9/11.  Even though I haven’t been directly affected by the terrorist act 10 years ago, there were still indirect consequences for me and pretty much every other human being on this planet.  “War on terror”, military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, economy defaulting, beefed up security checks in each and every airport, more fear in people and more power in governments – the list can go on.

 

Day in brief – 2011-09-10

  • @ektagon good effort, but isn't facebook places about to disappear? #
  • @ektagon Seems you are right. I somehow missed that one. http://t.co/PVWAQyk #
  • Google Translate thinks that a Russian word "весёлый" (funny,cheerful) translates to German as "Homosexuell". I must have missed that class. #
  • @titanas maybe you travel so much that they know and trust you by now :-) #
  • @ektagon Foursquare is still my pick for location services. Facebook has the crowd, but foursquare is doing it right. IMHO. #
  • It's been longer than usual since a pint or two at Ship Inn. I should visit it tonight, before waiters forget my face. :-) #
  • Checking out wine festival, apparently. (@ Limassol Municipality Garden) http://t.co/MvswYMK #

  • Should I open this cookie? :-) http://t.co/hwDznns #
  • @stepanov Google Chrome all the way! :-) #
  • @stepanov maybe I can help. Which ones are you missing? #
  • @stepanov PDF viewer is built into Chrome for a while now. I have no problem with it. Spell-checker you mentioned before. I can't find one. #
  • Just noticed that @fxccforex blog got a much needed face-lift. Looks way better now. http://t.co/6ucKCcp #
  • Shared: CakeFest 2011 http://t.co/XgAjitg #
  • @LeaVerou @jng5 That's just wishful thinking. By far not a fact. :) #
  • @tdh You can, once someone else becomes an Administrator. You can't leave a profile without admins at all. #
  • @tdh Create a dummy email account. Use it to admin dead sites. You'll be able to remove yourself then. :) #
  • @tdh It doesn't matter who the owner is. If you have admin access (not read-only) than you can do everything an owner can. #
