Finally got TweetDeck fixed

Spent two hours or more trying to get my rig going before giving up, googling & finally found the link below. It worked :)

I had the same problem - I couldn't get tweetdeck to authenticate with Twitter after I'd changed my Twitter password. Very frstrating, but I fixed it by;
1. shut down tweetdeck
2. follow tweetdeck on twitter by clicking on "Follow us on Twitter" link at http://tweetdeck.com
3. then followed these instructions as provided by Richard Barley;

1. Log out of TweetDeck using the triangle "Log out" button in the top-right
2. Restart TweetDeck
3. Click the link "Click here if this is the first time you have used TweetDeck on this computer"
4. Enter your TWITTER userid and password and click Add Account
5. On the "Register for a TweetDeck Account" screen, click "I already have a TweetDeck Account"
6. Enter your TWEETDECK userid and password and click "Verify Account"
7. Import any columns if it prompts you, otherwise just click Finish.

Now working as it should. HTH. Good luck.

Prayer for a Happy Death by Cory

Prayer for a Happy Death (2004)

Almighty God, most merciful Father
You alone know the time
You alone know the hour
You alone know the moment
When I shall breathe my last.

So remind me each day, most loving Father
To be the best that I can be
To be humble, to be kind,
To be patient, to be true,
To embrace what is good
To reject what is evil
To adore only You.

When that final moment does come
Let not my loved ones grieve for long
Let them comfort each other
And let them know how much happiness
They brought into my life.

Let them pray for me
As I will continue to pray for them,
Hoping that they will always pray for each other.

Let them know that they made possible
Whatever good I offered to our world
And let them realize that our separation
Is just for a short while
As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.

Our Father in heaven
You alone are my hope
You alone are my salvation
Thank You for Your unconditional love.

Amen.

NoyNoy on Cory's death

"Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m., August 1, 2009, of cardio-respiratory arrest.

“She would have wanted to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and your continued love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country.

“Hinihiling po ng aming pamilya ang kaunting panahon para makasama namin ang aming mahal na ina. [Our family is asking for a little time so we can be with our beloved mother]

“Later today, we will be announcing further details of her wake para sa lahat ng ating mga minamahal na kababayan na nais magbigay ng respeto sa aming ina. [..her wake for our beloved countrymen who wish to pay their respects to our mother]

“Maraming salamat po.” [Thank you very much]

And it comes down to this

I've been resisting the idea of blog for a long time - until I got into Twitter. The 160 character limit led to my posting 3-5 tweets for every interesting/provoking newsbit/article I wanted to comment on. A blog became a necessary evil, so here we are :)

My Twitter handle is NoroBiik, and the re-tweeted or discovered posts stream will remain there.
