Comment on Twitter – good or bad by Andy

i think twitter is tool like any other internet tool. U waste as much time on it as you want to. I wont deny that its easy to get caught up in it, but its all about moderation. And I’m sure for every bad thing twitter does, there r some great things that it can do.

And yes, the 140 char thing is a challenge to the English language. And its prob. the single greatest and worst thing to happen to the current ADD generation.

you’d be surprised where our words go online! i’ve seen web hits coming from around the world, some sites i wasn’t sure even had electric much less internet access. while pottery is a small industry, small market, as a group i swear we’re online more than most other trades.

potters get around!

see ya

when i get glaze dribble i open the holes with a typical drill and power motor. it’s not so bad an effort.

anything non-stretchy would work well. it’s amaizing how tying small knots creates so much tension in an overall weave so the string needs to be strong. i don’t do fancy knots, regular single knot stuff. i do use a crochete hook though to help get the string thru tight spots. either that or our typical needle tool. it beats watching TV or makes watching TV more interesting…

[...] September 1, 2009 at 11:13 pm (open source) The summer is finally over and its time to go back to school. I really enjoyed the summer this year. The weather wasn’t too hot which is a nice change from the normal humid Toronto summers. My cousin came for a visit from Hong Kong. He will be teaching CS full time at the American International School in Hong Kong this coming year. I gave him tons of links to awesome open source software and projects. Hopefully it will help expose open source to a wider audience. Other than visits from relatives, I also had the opportunity to take a 1 week course intensive Raku course which I wrote about here.

I was going to weave it. I saw the ones on your site and thought they were really neat looking but unfortunately I didn’t clean some of the holes well enough so they are glazed over. I might try to do a weave over the part that isn’t covered though. Thanks for the advice on the string to use . I was thinking of maybe using some coppery coloured embrodery thread to complement the rest of the rest of the pot but haven’t gotten around to getting the thread yet.
