And then there was Twitter

Ah Twitter, yes you know the place. Where people talk about whatever is going on in their lives. It's a place for communication with other twits... no, wait... that's not the correct term um... other tweeters... no... what's the phrase I'm looking for? Oh yes, others that have been stung by the Tweeting Bird so to speak. Do birds sting? Well, if they don't this one sure does.

It's become one of the largest fads since Myspace, Blogging, and Geocities... (remember them? oh yeah, they're soon to be gone, if not already gone).

Twitter has become a household name. No one else has done microblogging quite like it.

When it comes to ways to put your tweet out there, there are hundreds of applications to choose from.

You can tweet from your phone, from your computer, from your mobile device (iphone, ipod touch, blackberry etc.) you can tweet just from about anywhere.

Twitter doesn't sleep... you tweet it displays.

You can even post links to your blog after they've been posted via Twitter.

Twitter has become the new RSS.

So, are you tweeting? If not, why not?

Go forth and tweet!

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time. It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Get Yesterday's Date

Here's an easy method to return yesterday's date: import java.time.LocalDateTime; public class DoIt { public static void main(String[] args) { LocalDateTime yesterday = LocalDateTime.now().minusDays(1); System.out.println(yesterday); } } As you can see it's quite straight forward and simple. You just minus the number of days you wish to get. You can do this on a LocalDate or a LocalDateTime object. From there you can do whatever you want with your past date.
