  1. @bsletten @codetojoy '08 Olympics chose Silverlight, and this Java FX thing is a single widget related to medals over time/country/athlete
  2. @JeffBNimble sad note: I recognize that hotel based on the picture. I think I spent too much time there. :)
  3. @adriancolyer hope you don't have any more checked baggage issues like you had before SpringOne! ;) http://snurl.com/tnhyw
  4. heh, leave it to programmers (@bsletten, @neal4d, @codetojoy) to raise the level of abstraction on a twitter exchange (I mean, <witty note>)
  5. @geoffreywiseman using the growlnotify command-line tool? Very handy, that.
  6. @geoffreywiseman I'd guess that it hangs onto it - running an HDD off battery = high amps + batt fail chance, hold state in RAM = low amps
  7. @geoffreywiseman I'd actually guess that it's to hold the data in event of a power loss, so it canbe written when the disk comes back
  8. Reading #qcon feedback forms - very enlightening. Lots of great feedback, and good learning for the next one in London in 3 months
  9. @mlevison that's a fantastic book - coupled with Poppendiecks' Agile Toolkit, it's a great combo for devs/architects who want to knwo Lean
  10. @geoffreywiseman which way faces south? That side will have started off warmer due to sun. It makes a huge, huge difference.
  11. @geoffreywiseman out here in Pickering, there are a few patches that are whiter than they were this morning *sigh*. Shovels needed on Wed.
  12. @dmnieuwl and it juuuust started here - very light flakes, like dandruff from a flock of seagulls :)
  13. @PraetorAnnius NNNOOOOOOOooooooo...... None here in Pickering just yet.
  14. RT @UPCRCIllinois: Great interview with Ralph Johnson (GoF) on Parallel Programming Patterns work/book/projects ... http://bit.ly/4JjlkV
  15. @bsletten haven't arrived yet, pretty low chance they will now. :(
  16. Ack! The place we ordered our barstools from (Amish Furniture Outlet) went bankrupt on Friday! Boo #fail #bankrupt #sittingonboxes
  17. RT @guilhermecaelum: the rest guys say hi to brazilian devs http://bit.ly/8DYV19 @iansrobinson + @jimwebber #qcon
  18. @stnor yeah, looking forward to it! Will be neat to learn about some of the challenges you faced and how you solved them!
  19. @joshbloch that was Zen, this is Tao. :)
  20. @pandamonial interesting - the equivalent of tuxedo rentals, but for women. Seems likely to be just as lucrative!
