Easy installation of Twhirl on Ubuntu

Mattias Wirf — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:05:49 +0000

I have to manage several Twitter accounts form my Linux workstation, to my joy it was an easy installation of Twhirl on Ubuntu. Twhirl runs on Adobe Air, so first you need to get that:

sudo apt-get install adobeair

I then downloaded Twhirl and run the installation. Next step was to start adding accounts :)

I feel totally drained of power. Why is there never time to do the things I like?

I’m working a new website for my own swedish domain www.mattiaswirf.se At the moment there is just a temporary page with some drawings. I’m very excited about the new site, it will show off art, photos and websites and some personal info.

Thanks for the money

Some anonymous person sent money in a letter and the statement that we should indulge in something nice :) Thanks, whoever you are.

My developer blog

My developer blog – where I write about editors, design, software and programming – can be found at www.open-source-editor.com. The original idea was to publish reviews and interviews about programmers editors, but it has become more personal about webdevelopment now. I hope some nerds reading this find their way to the site! ;)

Human Equation a favorite

Mattias Wirf — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:44:11 +0000

A couple of years ago I discovered Ayreons record, Human Equation, a favorite of mine. Ayreon is a project run by dutch musician Arjen Lucassen. Since then I have check out the earlier records and the later 01011001, released in 2008. The artists involved change from time to time, in The Human Equation I believe it was 17 singers. It is still one of my favorites

Have a look at Arjens new album Guilt Machine at Myspace.

Cold cold cold

Have been sick in a cold all over the christmas holidays. Can’t say I feel rested now, something I really needed. There is no time and energy to do what I wanted. Wish I had more time to draw for example. At least some free days with new years is coming up.

Email and Carbonara

Mattias Wirf — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:01:26 +0000

Today I’ve been batteling with newsletter systems and swearing. But the day ended well with succes, pasta carbonara a good sallad and a few glasses of wine :)

At the moment I’m using Dada mail for a client and testing PHPList for my own use. Both opensource by the way. But Dada stopped working when the hosting company changed software and server, leaving my client and 400 subscribers in the cold. But I fixed it, and that makes me feel good :)

And the rewards keep coming, tonight there is apple pie!
