Poor Twitter
Had a silly question, so I ran over to Twitter to ask it, and, as soon as I clicked update to post it up, the fail whale told me scheduled maintenance had begun, and it'll be about an hour before Twitter's back up and running. Crazy timing: I'm not sure if I just barely got the tweet posted or I just missed getting it posted. Just in case, and since Posterous always lets me send it emails (I think; I hope), I'm going to go ahead and post the intended "tweet" here:
What's the opposite of a conservative estimate? An aggressive estimate? An unconservative estimate? A liberal estimate? Cowboy math?Excellent. Thought's out of my head. I've released the cow. All's good. Thank you thank you. One point for Posterous. Zero points for Twitter. Or one point for Twitter, depending on whether I snuck the tweet under the fail whale's slamming iron gate (You know those gates that are inside drawbridges and stuff? Robin Hood era castle defense systems?). Anyway, the moral of the story, I think, is that this might be a competition. Sometimes. There are those tweener thoughts that probably can be expressed in 140 characters but maybe might do well with a couple of sentences of context. Hmmm. I do love context. We'll see.
