http://t.co/6RpcQLlU "Awesome" accounts are 50% off today. Use code "boxingpixels". #
I'm jumping ship from Flickr to 500px. Uploaded my first 10 pictures today. http://t.co/XnQ9k8Bv #
@fleander Flickr hasn't changed in years, and there is too much daily-life photography there. I have Facebook for that… #
@fleander No—the community is sufficiently different that I'm just going to start over. #
@sandesh247 Yes, we do have an "everything in focus" mode. It's only been shown thus far in demos. #
@fleander I'll keep my pro Flickr account—still get image licensing referrals from there, but I will likely stop posting pictures. #
@salesforce @sfgoodwill FYI, SalesForce/SFGoodwill integration is broken. Can't record a material donation online (will do it manually). #
Awesome rant about SOPA http://t.co/zZHofWNy #
@salesforce SF Goodwill "record a material donation" throws a Salesforce error once you submit. #

@peteblois How do you view a RAW image from a current digital camera without a RAW converter? #
@peteblois can't say much about what it will do until closer to ship date. But yes, it uses the whole light field. #
@salesforce I went online to SFGoodwill and filled out the form for a material donation. I submitted and got Salesforce error. #
@viennateng show tonight. Thanks, Michele & Erik, for saving seats! http://t.co/idkV5gav #
@salesforce This has taken way too much time. We donated the old-fashioned way. The salesforce / goodwill integration was not a success. #
@salesforce I think part of the problem is that the error message clearly says "Salesforce," which is why I went to you guys for support. #
@salesforce I'll report the integration problem to SF Goodwill. Maybe no one uses their website. #

Crap. Had to check my uw camera backpack on SQ2, so I have a bare housing to lug around. #

@ArneKuilman sound them out. :) #
"Welcome home, sir" at SFO is so much better than the "Whatchoo doin' here?" I have gotten at LAX. #
After re-activating my iPhone upon returning to the States, I had 85 app updates. Had to run overnight. #
Back (happily) to the grind… @ San Francisco Caltrain Station http://t.co/DiQXfW88 #

@Sonicnet DSL down and support unable to get it working. 1 of 2 Fusion lines dead & modem possibly dead. bad timing! #
@sonicnet Great support, though. David tried his best to get things working. #
@bizofdiving @indokerri Not surprising. Just search for #demashow and @dema_show and count number of tweets. No young people were there. #
@dane Nope. Machine plugged directly into modem (with manual ip settings) does not respond in bonded or non-bonded modes. #
@dane 1/2 speed worked for the last 11 days (2nd line has been down that long). Failed altogether starting yesterday. #
@dane Line 2 is down. Line 1 syncs (green light solid). But no connection through modem, at all. #
