EAT A BISCUIT

Adam, many of your tweets deal with dieting and weight loss; moreover, it appears you are having some success. What methods are you using?
― moley, Thursday, 26 February 2009 06:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Long story short so I don't derail: Seeing a nutritionist who's given me a very specific diet comprising low GI fruit (strawberries, blueberries, cherries, apples, etc.), snacking throughout the day, low-carb dinners and piles of vegetables. If you DM me (ha Twitter) an email address I'll go into loads more detail.

Have you noticed that ILX posts are getting shorter and shorter, is this a side effect of Twitterisation, or is it simply the way of the internet, and soundbite culture?
Also, I am beginning to notice Twitter having a deleterious effect on me. It's nice in some ways, that I've reconnected with old friends of mine who moved to LA, and I haven't seen in years, suddenly it's like being dropped back into the minutia of their lives in the way that we used to be when we lived across the road from one another.
But I really really need to disconnect from my celebrity twitter because they're showing off (well, don't know if they are, it felt last night like they were) in a way that just made me feel shit and crap about mine own life. And I suddenly started to feel very, very empty, that here was me being a voyeur on a person that would never actually talk to me - and instead of feeling excited - like, why was this person posting this stuff? To make his fans feel like they were "there in his place"? But it didn't feel like that, it felt like he is a celebrity, having this exciting shiny life, and I'm lying in bed with inky fingers and feeling very flat.
But I just can't disconnect myself from the drip feed, because I'm *obsessed* - it's the one part of obsessive compulsion I can never seem to shake.

The internet spreading to mobile devices has a lot to do with that, e.g. trying to convey a complex thought on a bloody iphone.

Recently there've been SO many occasions on which I've wanted to respond to something in detail and have just written 'wtf u mad' instead.
― punk is deady brewster (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 26 February 2009 19:48 (fifteen years ago) link
Which is why I wont use mobile devices for such things (and yes I have an ipod touch with wireless access). It is impossible to read or write anything of substance on them.
And I dont want to reduce myself and the things I take in to nothing but fluff and no substance. Some fluff is ok. Nothing but, is not.

Also, having and using one in such a manner encourages being glued to the internet all day long. We dont carry TV around and glue ourselves to it on the train, at work, at lunch, on the toilet. Why do we do it with the internet?

Why do people use Twitter? Expressing oneself in 140 characters is trite and insulting.-- Trayce, Melbourne

Yeah way to completely and utterly misrepresent what the fuck I was saying.
― one art, please (Trayce), Friday, 27 February 2009 00:02 (fifteen years ago) link
PP, books newspapers and magazines dont consist of 32434 one-line empty ramblings, either.
Well, usually.

Anyway, point missed, I give up.
Trayce it was a JOKE, jeezus.

so has anyone debunked the Eno twitter??
I keep waiting for someone to, but so far, no. Certainly I'm not 100% that it's actually Brian Eno, but it's someone interesting enough that I'm not too worried about it. Only BAD fakers piss me off.
― kenan, Friday, 27 February 2009 00:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Surely many twitters, like facebooks and myspaces, are gonna end up being fakes (for slebs I mean).
― one art, please (Trayce), Friday, 27 February 2009 01:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Funny, if you google "twitter fake brian eno" the top result goes to the same feed, and google reports the page title as "Twitter / Fake Brian Eno". Which doesn't mean it's fake, necessarily. But it's interesting.
― kenan, Friday, 27 February 2009 02:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Where does Twitteronia etiquette stand on the following situation:
- You follow someone who also follows you- That person stops following you- You DON'T REALISE and continue to (a) follow that person and (b) reply to his/her tweets
Probably a bit spod-like for ilx but I must avoid embarrassing social situations. thx
― punk is deady brewster (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 27 February 2009 20:41 (fifteen years ago) link
I find people who reflexively follow everyone who follows them to be the equivalent of the MySpace whore who just wants to have a lot of "Friends".

If someone who I know (or someone who knows people I know) follows me I follow back, but if it's just some random I don't.

I kinda like twitter now. I am only following people I sort of know.
― jel --, Tuesday, 3 March 2009 17:15 (fifteen years ago) link
If anyone wants to follow me on Twitter (wherein I routinely rip off stuff I saw on ILX), I'm polyphonique there.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Tuesday, 3 March 2009 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Yesterday an actual human being found me and started talking to me. I suppose that's the next phase.

IS TWITTER DOWN OR SOMETHING!??!?
I CAN NO LONGER SURVIVE WITHOUT IT!!!!

fake eno is having hissy fits via twitter about someone calling him fake, which he admits freely that he is, but... no, you blew it, fake eno. You were so much less boring when you said three words a day. Eno does not have hissy fits and link to gossip about them. He's too busy... I dunno. Trying to rationalize the last U2 album so he can get some sleep, or something.
― kenan, Friday, 6 March 2009 09:09 (fifteen years ago) link
Brian Eno is a fictional creation. He invented himself. (Don't ask how he did it. He will only reply with a lie. He probably believes that he is real. Sometimes, it's all he has to hang onto.) As part of this fiction there has been a need to constantly produce facts, to convince us that he actually exists, and is not, as is actually the case, a figment of our imagination, a memory implant. There are many facts, so many that we don't even suspect that they are fabricated, part of a disorientating plot to set at the centre of the history of modern music a character that does not actually exist.
