you know, I don’t care if #retweetfail is evil, it’s more convenient than cutting and pasting manually #lazy

OTOH, it’s a huge storm in a social-media teacup. Let’s try to do something constructive instead, hmmm? #retweetfail

#

Sadly Mail for Exchange doesn’t work on my old 6630 and it’s too large to lug around w/o it, so I’m going back to the 3310 Classic

Gmail finally working in Chrome, looks like the latest Ubuntu update fixed it
