When it came to TweetDeck, I simply retrieved a known-good version from my Time Machine backup. I threw them into a directory with “OS X” in the name. Since this is my only computer and I was at the Bunjaree Cottages and a long way from assistance, I started compiling an archive of installers and serial numbers for all my software. I made the decision: nuke it from orbit and re-install everything. And the AIR version of TweetDeck was being one of the crashiest. A bit too crashy, across multiple applications. Some of that had been incredibly frustrating because my MacBook Pro was getting a bit crashy. On the evening of 8 January, I’d just done three or four days of solid work with little sleep, including one almost-all-nighter. I’ll tell the story because it explains why all sorts of things online - and in the rest of life, for that matter - are the way they are. ![]() On an evening when my main focus was very much elsewhere.

OK, the fact that the new TweetDeck doesn’t run under Adobe AIR but directly as an OS X program will improve the battery life of my MacBook Pro. Now they’ve taken the power users’ Twitter client of choice and, well, fucked it up. Back in May 2011, Twitter bought TweetDeck for $40 million. ![]()
