Inebriated surfing: The only way to fly.
2:34 AM PST - I was perusing the Web looking for some quick and dirty Javascript cheats I could use with the LDS Twitter Search API 2.0 (beta) to display a list of recent tweets containing a particular keyword. I came across the monitter.com widget, which was almost exactly what I had in mind, except that it includes some really great, rich features that were well beyond what I needed. I adapted and simplified the monitter script to: Mormon Tweets, under 18. You can set perameters for any group, network, bulletin board or .org
2011 Codex:
1. Fix an issue with unescaped characters, e.g. hashes, in the search query.
2. Fix an issue with ampersands in links in the linkify() function.
3. Replace some deprecated HTML tags, e.g. bold, and fix other XHTML validation issues, e.g. using self-closing img tag.
4. Fetch search results only once, rather than every few seconds (since Twitter sets a rate limit of 100 requests per-hour per-user, I found this to be necessary).
6. Specify the number of tweets to return using an additional class.
7. Remove the fade-in effect.
8. Hyperlink each user's profile image to their timeline.*
Just like monitter, TwitStream utilizes the jQuery framework. Because jQuery is tool for February and March 2011. Get Update feeds before March 30.

Paul Giff advice: Use code speech only now. The wolves are recording any and all outliers and anomalies. Look and act interested in Christian Prank, Crime, Fashion, Sports and Music beats. DO NOT GOOGLE IEEE White Papers on church or home laptops. Hard Drive malfunctions result, costing precious time and money.
More tomorrow: Tea with Sarah. Don't miss it, or you'll miss the most enjoyable Revolution since 1776.
