@Wiggly_Lisa Morning to you. How are you on this fine day? in reply to Wiggly_Lisa #
Nice electrical activity in front of me as I drive away from Geneva. I see a police and a police car, but will …

Home now. #
@Wiggly_Lisa depends on the timezone, for the rest of the world it’s early 😛 in reply to Wiggly_Lisa #
@MaggieConv Hello to you once more. in reply to MaggieConv #
@sizemore want to meet in about an hour? in reply to sizemore #
@sizemore Tomorrow should be fine, Thought I had a shoot but that’s cancelled. in reply to sizemore #
@sizemore What are the plans for the weekend? Could see about having the car and we could range around Switzerland… in reply to sizemore #
@sizemore finish work around 6.30-7pm, can meet straight from work. in reply to sizemore #
@sizemore Ok, looking forward to that. I’ll let you know once my weekend begins. in reply to sizemore #
Took the nokia, looked at it, thought “wrong device”, reached into the other pocket, took out the touch and that was the correct one. #
@foulbastard Indeed they should, like they’re internet famous or something. in reply to foulbastard #
@foulbastard Wouldn’t it be that anyway? in reply to foulbastard #
@brendajos hehe, now that would be quite amusing. Could account swap if we’re ever at the same meetup. Already did that a few times. in reply to brendajos #
Il est 20hr. #
Anyone else using fuzzyclock. I hear it’s fun so decided to try it from now on. #
@LittleLaura One day I’ll be in London at the same time as you and twitter will suddenly be quieter. 😛 in reply to LittleLaura #
@foulbastard Thinking of Futurama and one of the creatures? in reply to foulbastard #
@foulbastard What if it’s a school bus filled with nuns going through a love parade? in reply to foulbastard #
@LittleLaura so no twitter updates? in reply to LittleLaura #
@foulbastard would be a sight. in reply to foulbastard #
@LittleLaura no taking your laptop with you? relaxing. in reply to LittleLaura #
@LittleLaura makes a change. in reply to LittleLaura #
@mousewords and is that a good or shimmery bad thing? in reply to mousewords #
@mousewords so you were never able to use highlighters, they’d confuse you too much. in reply to mousewords #
@mousewords hehe, so I should seesmic from up in the mountains. In fact I should nick my dad’s laptop and take advantage of 3g 😉 in reply to mousewords #
Speaking of social media I asked a girl whether she knew about social media, of course the answer was no 😛 #
You wouldn’t expect anything else anyway, after all it’s mainly english speaking geeks who have an interest so far 😛 #
@mousewords so you’d have 20 highlighters ready to annotate any text that passed under your gaze. in reply to mousewords #
@tibbon hehehe, now that’s a line I need to put on a t-shirt. Along “same shit, different brand.” in reply to tibbon #
@mousewords should be fun. in reply to mousewords #
@choochootheband It’s just the essentials, ipod touch and a macbook pro with Les Diablerets in the background. in reply to choochootheband #
Can you hear that tap tap tapping, that’s because http://tinyurl.com/359kj6 here comes the rain again. #
According to fuzzyclock it’s twentyfive to ten 😉 #
@mousewords I used to draw faces in letters, used to create letter people. in reply to mousewords #
@choochootheband Do you use kyte from the mobile phone? in reply to choochootheband #
Rain and lightning, very very frightning, nah fun actually. http://seesmic.com/videos/5vcDnL9ZID #
@tibbon congrats on reaching 3000, I think I can remember when I reached that number, a long time ago. in reply to tibbon #
@choochootheband Used a few pictures but that’s the one that stayed. A few of us seesmicers have it. in reply to choochootheband #
@tibbon Who cares? Let them. Tweet as many times as you want. The more you tweet the greater your exposure and so the more people will follo in reply to tibbon #
@mousewords I was told off for doing that. Was in a swiss school at the time. in reply to mousewords #
I like electric storms, they’re fun. #
@choochootheband Of course, have you seesmiced much? in reply to choochootheband #
@choochootheband Depends, there was a time when I’d wake up and seesmic and go to sleep whilst seesmicing. in reply to choochootheband #
@choochootheband Met many francofous (French Seesmicers) in Lausanne a few weeks ago. in reply to choochootheband #
@choochootheband It can be. Just requires a reliable connection and quite a few sleepless nights of fun 😛 in reply to choochootheband #
@sizemore I still haven’t been to the top of the cathedral and I live here. in reply to sizemore #
@choochootheband I’m going to start using it more again. in reply to choochootheband #
@mousewords Of course, then again I’m still into video and television work so many years later. in reply to mousewords #
@choochootheband That wasn’t why I added you ;-), just found the name of the band amusing. in reply to choochootheband #
@choochootheband Anything lighthearted is fun. in reply to choochootheband #
@mousewords Need to be creativein finding my next job 🙂 in reply to mousewords #
@LittleLaura in that case the laptop might even be a nuisance. in reply to LittleLaura #
@LittleLaura Of course, I understand that, last time I went to Rome and to Poland I had no computer. in reply to LittleLaura #
anyone out there still using a touch or have you all upgraded? #

@aliciamk Salut alicia, tu t’amuse ce soir? in reply to aliciamk #
Re: Re: Rain and lightning, very very frightning, nah fun actually. http://seesmic.com/videos/XnRMWUbpSU #
@aliciamk To rest or to recover ;-), probably both. Typical of a seesmic meetup :-)… of sorts. in reply to aliciamk #
@aliciamk yep, that was me two weeks ago when coming back from Lausanne. That’s when you ordered me to come to SF. Now I have the time… in reply to aliciamk #
@wankergirl Re: What is this girl smiling? and I say… http://seesmic.com/videos/kwCOamdXqg in reply to wankergirl #

@TechCrunch loaded for me in Switzerland using the seamonkey browser in reply to TechCrunch #
@vivipfeif Re: fantÃ´me de bouteille de coca http://seesmic.com/videos/bEx9Dz6FXe in reply to vivipfeif #
Hey seesmic, where’s my seesmic t-shirt? We forgot each other over the months. #
@stephtara i’ll look it up when I get up in a few hours. in reply to stephtara #
@stephtara took a few seconds to look now, seems a very familiar concept 🙂 in reply to stephtara #
@stephtara night night. in reply to stephtara #
@sizemore enjoying the geneva rain and storms? in reply to sizemore #
@Fanch_bzh tu m’as vaincu in reply to Fanch_bzh #
@vivipfeif Re: Re: dormire, dormire, tu dors, are you sleeping? http://seesmic.com/videos/4xPdxkB1Va in reply to vivipfeif #
@sizemore Ahhhh, those are good. :-), tomorrow should be good too, and less text editing 🙂 in reply to sizemore #
@Fanch_bzh c’est une autre faÃ§on de voir la chose, c’est pas grave de toute faÃ§on in reply to Fanch_bzh #
allez, bonne nuit, goodnight, for real this time. #
@aliciamk I do, only thing missing is the machine readable passport and the flight. I’ll work on it really soon. in reply to aliciamk #
@Documentally That’s all you need. After that you can always organise something with people there. And it’s Vegas. One hotel has 5000 rooms. in reply to Documentally #
@rafiq Morning Rrrafiq. in reply to rafiq #
@Documentally Sleepless night? in reply to Documentally #
@Documentally Yeah sure, no problem, will do. Should be a fun meeting. in reply to Documentally #
@Documentally Hehe, of course, although it depends on what they’re doing. Remember December, Seesmic, twitter and I? in reply to Documentally #
In the past two days two bands have started following me, sign of the changing times and twitter sliding into the 1/4ish mainstream. #
@loudmouthman Good morning to you. in reply to loudmouthman #
@melissamaples Seeing your tweets reminds me of summer time. You seem to migrate from twitter in winter 😉 in reply to melissamaples #
Usually it’s the girls that get pregnant but a friend in Thailand said his GF, to be wife is. Makes a change from what I see on FB. #
@loudmouthman That buzzing might come from an ungrounded cable for the MBP ;-). Not that in England you have ungrounded cables 🙂 in reply to loudmouthman #
@FQ Good morning to you. in reply to FQ #
at the end of today I will have 10 more days at the company where I’m currently working. #
Time to head to work, on the scooter rather than in the car. 🙂 #
I’m at work. I appreciated how beautiful the route I take on the scooter is. Really nice passages through fields, forested bits and more. #
Forget TGIF. It’s TFIF, far more direct and to the point. #
@jasonjarrett When you see they made a profit of five billion the year before it doesn’t sound so bad anymore. Means they still have money. in reply to jasonjarrett #
twhirl seems to be working better now. #
@patphelan and a good morning to you too. in reply to patphelan #
I still need to get a machine readeable passport. I’ll work on it within the next two weeks. #
I now have 11 days left :-), 1 day and two business weeks before I’m free 🙂 #
@loudmouthman I’ll second that. in reply to loudmouthman #
@loudmouthman Thinking of renewing the Italian passport though. That’s the one that needs renewing. The GB one will last till 2011 in reply to loudmouthman #
@kcarruthers according to fuzzyclock it’s five to ten, that’s what’s displayed. in reply to kcarruthers #
@kcarruthers Which comes to the TFIF point I like to make 🙂 in reply to kcarruthers #
@FQ Haven’t been into the city of Geneva for at least two weeks, had Paleo and other events instead. Paleo was fun in reply to FQ #
@fred2baro c’est bien, fais beau par la ou t’est? in reply to fred2baro #
@stephtara There have been a few global blog this days, a few global action days, so this is another example in reply to stephtara #
@twhirl. There’s a display issue when you have certain characters together. The kerning (not sure about the term) in reply to twhirl #
@stephtara yes just have to remember which day it is. in reply to stephtara #
@stephtara okay, so the day we’re all free 🙂 in reply to stephtara #
CH backwards is Sheisse, I promise. Accidentaly found out whilst editing. #
