  1. Tweet about #sbseurovision half an hour behind like you are in #adelaide
  2. Macedonia should just buy Greece so they can drop the stupid FYR. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonia… #sbseurovision
  3. @NewtonMark assimilating some spinach and feta?
  4. Try this in #NoSQL "update invoices set total = (select sum(qty * price) from invoice_items where invoice = ?) where id = ?" #OneLinerBitch
  5. @peter_c_william Not sure if I'd like the text files and grep method in a concurrent system where writes also happen to said text file. :)
  6. I am willing to bet most that use #NoSQL for their shitty little web app don't know an outer join on a derived table with grouping.
  7. You know how simple, fast and bullet-proof it is to do stuff in SQL that that need mega code and debugging in NoSQL. theregister.co.uk/2012/05/25/nos…
  8. Most people with sites that don't have TB of data and tens of thousands req/sec are better off learning how to use SQL properly. #NoNoSQL
  9. @rustyshelf and *cough* before I didn't actually fork out $3K. *cough*. So #win for Adobe...
  10. @rustyshelf I feel your pain. I use a couple of CS apps once a week/month, so $62/month is better than forking out $3K like you had to b4.
  11. @rustyshelf entire CS6 suite is $62/month from creative cloud. That's what I am getting in 20 days...
  12. @dossy Orkut is big in Brazil, according to Wikipedia.
  13. @NewtonMark better question: has Schapelle Corby even heard of twitter?
  14. @nlothian Unless I program an administrative interface into our own site for a simple spam… The choices!
  15. @nlothian Though problem is that we do need monkeys in the group to be able to send out emails. Can't get simpler than mailing list...
  16. @nlothian discussions isn't real important. The alias I use now allows that, but considering that as not important and going @MailChimp
  17. Need a mailing list server for aeroscene.com.au. But the last thing I want to do is run any mail server myself. Ideas, anyone?
  18. @hortovanyi yeah, it's a great movie. Very well done and very funny.
  19. @hortovanyi iron sky at the cinema, last Wednesday.
