  1. reminder: 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime. Of those, 20% will get the dangerous type Astrid had.
  2. To read about Astrid's heartbreaking battle with breast cancer, see: http://twitter.com/2beatCancer
  3. Astrid Elina Paasonen, the love of my life, last night passed quietly from us - an hour before her 46th birthday. We will all miss her.
  4. latest update: http://twitter.com/2beatCancer. so sad.
  5. sadly, I have officially resigned from active employment while I stay at home as a fulltime carer. more info: @2beatCancer
  6. Twitter retweets: turning them *all* off - anyone worked out how to do it? individually un-retweeting is a painful/dumb idea.
  7. [3] ... going dark again ... spending energies elsewhere...
  8. [2] ... if you know of any research or people winning against HER2-positive metastasised cancer, let me know at @barry_b3
  9. [1] Lets see if Twitter has any impact on real "life and death" situations. Important message (IMHO) to the twitterverse coming up...
  10. Going very dark. Every moment is now precious, while there are still moments left. Bye all, it's been fun.
  11. "this time I was hoping it would be different" she says. Heartbreaking test results - not at all what we wanted to here.
  12. congrats @cfobjective_anz coming into existence (kudos to your creators). v.Important to the region, even if not everyone realises it yet.
  13. just saying: #LiveScribe #Pulse brilliant for use with meeting clients, recording business requirements, notes, etc. http://bit.ly/3U3Hwr
  14. #FlashNotOnIPhone but it's just *one* phone! The answer is to create more compelling Flash apps, ready for the new Nokia, et al, to rock on!
  15. @Tuna night caches? sounds like a remake of darren mcgavin as Carl Kolchak... http://bit.ly/2LhClV
  16. @aneesha ouch! "Because when my laptop battery dies in a lecture, the first thing I think of is how great that augmented reality clip was"
  17. @agentK you don't *ever* want your cat to cook you dinner, even it it *is* his turn: mice with heads chewed off is not a la carte
  18. @aneesha: yeah the outlook client got to users. Sadly, a key feature they were after is not yet available.
  19. getting desperate ... now comparing CRM Cutlook Client registry keys and values...
  20. fighting my way thru installing (and re-installing) the Outlook client for DynamicsCRM. It obviously doesn't like me and won't play nice
