  1. has a lead on a #freelance opportunity for a dedicated #.net developer; direct message with background and you'll be evaluated, put in touch
  2. is afraid to quiz a client on what a word featured in their copy is supposed to mean, but is nonetheless curious - #RememberWhatKilledTheCat
  3. gets bent out of shape by API's that promise the world to their clients yet provide little or no documentation for their clients' developers
  4. would be cooler about meeting a @twitter following limit if users who have since deactivated their accounts didn't count against that number
  5. hates when software you told the installation wizard *not* to install starts causing problems for you...because it's installed...what gives?
  6. knows that $ can't buy you happiness, but it certainly could knock a lot of stuff off the old to-do list and that would be a happy thing! ;)
  7. feels more irritated than anything by a certain hosting firm's system status messages; they come daily and only *after* the problem is fixed
  8. contends you get what you pay for; got a Jr. to run your very popular site? that's why your historically most visited page now returns a 404
  9. cannot comprehend why one would ask another to do something substantial and accordingly expensive and yet wonder why it's not done overnight
  10. would like to know why every time the PlayStation3 boots + connects to the LAN every other networked device becomes momentarily disconnected
  11. has been largely ignoring an email newsletter subscription for a long time; clicked through today and all the links in it are wrong - #FAIL!
  12. has an awful #Flash issue at hand - certain state of site causes *all tabs and windows* to be affected with #weird flickering mouse behavior
  13. needs to find some #Drupal ninjas who are both skilled + *easy to work with* for an ongoing partnership, preferably in Northeast; please DM!
  14. just realized the CAPTCHA for this dinosaur contact system only works w/ JavaScript enabled - was there ever a time when that seemed useful?
  15. postulates that a website design without development is just a design and not a website but a site developed w/o a design is still a website
  16. has to admit, it did not go unnoticed that when reopening @twitter the previously abandoned tweet was there to be finished; definitely slick
  17. was satisfied enough be told "no, I'm sorry, as much as we should be able to help, we can't, so here's who you should call" - TYVM, Bushnell
