  1. Why does any website think blocking pastes into password fields with Javascript is a good idea for security?
  2. If you spawn/anger a few creepers and keep the right distance on a platform, it's kind of like being on stage at at rock concert. #Minecraft
  3. I think I just saw Rollerblade Uggs.
  4. A photo tour of Canadian oil sands extraction: businessinsider.com/canadian-oil-s…
  5. @leafnode @miloslavbeno What's the method for bridging the two?
  6. @mattz62 We're good. We got a snapshot rsyncing off-site and a replacement node bootstrapping. Both succeeded. Thanks for asking.
  7. Node 3 just has to stay healthy for a couple more hours, and then we're out of the woods. Two nodes with disk failure in a couple hours. :-(
  8. @jMoo Any chance I could work with you or another @AllyBank front-end wizard to figure out some Bill Pay UI quirks?
  9. @lavanyadeepak @AllyBank It's an issue with the Payee interface in the Bill Pay section. It's a separate app-in-an-app.
  10. Is there an interface for changing an Apple ID password that works? Chrome on Linux and Safari on iPad both fail on appleid.apple.com.
  11. I chatted with someone at @AllyBank about an issue with their site on Linux (both FF and Cr). They did not give me a runaround!
  12. OH on Sunday: "I can't get my Honda Civic fixed on this island. Good luck with your Boeing 737." The #Founders50 jet may still be on Lanai.
  13. @jperras Whiskey Wednesday: $5 Jameson and PBR + an amazing crowd
  14. Safely home after an amazing trip as one of the Founders 50. More details to come. Thanks @FoundersFund!
  15. @jperras Make sure you head back to Benders Wednesday.
  16. .@WorkbridgeSF Obviously, you found my company's job postings and then looked me up. It's illegal to cold-call mobile: fcc.gov/guides/truth-a…
  17. Anyone else creeped out by a system that delivers mandatory "presidential alerts" to your mobile phone? engadget.com/2012/05/14/wir…
