  1. I can always tell I'm headed back to Raleigh just by the mullet count at the gate.
  2. Net Catoverflow feature I added today, thanks to @glunardi: catoverflow.com/the.fuck
  3. Tried to make a Manhattan with cheap Scotch. Bourbon was out. Do not recommend. Should have taken the Scotch neat, but was on a sweet kick.
  4. @jonlech @migueldeicaza yeah, Mono.Zeroconf binds mdnsresponder and avahi. Novell used to have a pure C# implementation of the protocol.
  5. Update: these grapes are not cheese.
  6. @ataranto you should try Reddit search.
  7. Update: the Camembert is inside me.
  8. @mjg59 I'm just going to start keeping a wheel of camembert in my luggage.
  9. @ataranto such low resolution. Third world, really.
  10. @mjg59 that's really okay with me. I'll lick the drapes.
  11. Seriously, where is @glunardi when I need him? #fromage
  12. Tonight's goal: finish this huge slice of camembert so the hotel room doesn't smell in the morning. Also the comté and picandou.
  13. I just added a next-level-maneuver to my San Francisco alone night of Steak Tartare and Manhattans: a to-go platter of cheese to eat in bed.
  14. @toshok @rdio I just blindly assume that anything not behind the VPN isn't routed through the VPN. I really hope so.
  15. @JosephHill oh yeah that too.
  16. I need a porn shield for my laptop. Not for porn, but I have a tendency to click the most awkward and obscene things on reddit when flying.
  17. #WarningsForPeopleWhoShouldNotBreed instagr.am/p/KjMsRYr684/
  18. I found Pisgah! Go bears! instagr.am/p/KilrB9r61B/
  19. Actually I'd rather just not need an office. instagr.am/p/KiEN9TL6z-/
  20. This needs to be my office. instagr.am/p/Kh73XHr6wV/
