Twitter competition ending 6/18

jww1066   June 6th, 2010 12:09a.m.

I'm back from vacation and have finally gotten through my massive backlog, so now I'm ready for another Twitter competition. We'll use the same rules as last time, except this one will end at 11:59 PM EDT on June 18th.

Here are the results from last time. Let's see if we can top them:

Count me in. christophmos on twitter. I just signed up for twitter just for the competition, so hopefully my settings are correct! Are these the right settings?

Reminder interval: 3 days
Next reminder: in 3 days
Character goal: 20 characters per day

I know that the last setting wasn't exactly necessary to include, but I wanted to get the trash-talking started.

jww1066   June 6th, 2010 2:52p.m.

@chris The settings look correct, but I can't seem to find you under christophmos - I used the 'people search' as well as looked for http://twitter.com/christophmos . Maybe try following me (jww1066) and I'll follow you back.

As for trash talking: what, 20 per day? Have you SEEN http://twitter.com/mu_er ?;)

ChrisClark   June 6th, 2010 3:08p.m.

Oh, sorry, it's christophomos!

As for @mu_er . . . with stats like those, I guess he doesn't need to trash-talk!

哎哟我的妈呀,看来,这一次俺还真要好好地考虑一下,不想辜负你这个家伙。

反正,闲时越来越少啦,汉字也已经那么多啊,还有啥机会咯。。。

Byzanti   June 6th, 2010 6:01p.m.

Ah, go on. I need a kick up the backside.

Do I need to change the other settings on the page?
Reminder interval/Next reminder in/Character goal

Byzanti on twitter.

jww1066   June 6th, 2010 11:08p.m.

@byzanti The interval should be 3 days. "Next reminder in" and "Character goal" are up to you.

Also you should follow me (jww1066) on Twitter, and post your Twitter name here so we can follow you.

@穆儿 I'm afraid your Chinese is too advanced for me... I guess the second part has to do with not having much free time?

It may be advanced, but he uses dialectal forms that Shaanxi farmers would use, which makes it difficult to read.

The last sentence I believe, is "Anyway, I have less and less free time, I already know so many characters, and also what opportunity do I have?". I'm not sure if that's referring to characters he knows, or his time, though.

I've also followed you on twitter, and my user name is Byzanti.

sonorier   June 7th, 2010 6:41a.m.

don't want to be pedantic but shouldn't that be: "I have less and less free time and I already know that many characters, SO what chance do I have (left)"?

sorry I'm an asshole, I been studying so much these days I'm going crazy haha. AND working in a bar every night...beer, some other stuff,..and still getting up and skrittering, they should put me in an lunatic asylum.

Foo Choo Choon   June 7th, 2010 6:59a.m.

嗨,这些事儿都能看出来,真没想到,捧腹大笑

gregshap   June 10th, 2010 8:00a.m.

Just got through my own backlog, count me in!
