  1. @coreyhaines I think you mean, "By the light of the silvery moon, I played ukulele today, for me and my gal."
  2. @nk you mean 55"
  3. So sad that only JavaScript frameworks can crow "The same APIs are available on the client and the server!" meteor.com #polyglot
  4. @btvwag Just heard about BuRuCo. Is it too late to submit a talk?
  5. Playing Diablo 3, waiting for an AirBNB guest to arrive, planning a railsbridge github repository migration. It is *so* 2012 today.
  6. @lucperkins Ironically? Me! I mean, not me! I mean...
  7. @sconover @frankgeerlings @manfreds One issue with Wrong's failure msgs is if a value is very long e.g. an HTML page… How much is too much?
  8. @mehulkar Q: Why are things the way they are? A: Because they got that way.
  9. Twitter changed their CSS; I just changed my Twitter RSS Bookmarklet to keep up. alexchaffee.com/bookmarklets/i… cc @davewiner
  10. IEEE Rounding Is Awesome: 0.5 - 0.4 - 0.1 = -2.7755575615628914e-17 (0.8 - 0.7 - 0.1)/(0.5 - 0.4 - 0.1) = -3.0 github.com/alexch/ruby_no…
  11. Diablo 3 reminds me a lot of Torchlight. (Yes, I know it should be the other way around.)
  12. @agilecoach I actually named my monk after the red wine (aka magic potion) I'm drinking right now -- Protocolo.
  13. @agilecoach If I drink a magic potion the tingling in my wrist and fingers goes away!
  14. I swallowed my DRM pride and bought Diablo 3. Man, this game is beautiful (if execrable).
  15. I haven't finished Max Payne 3 yet but I'm tempted to buy Diablo 3… but I detest the idea of an always-and-only-online single-player game
  16. @gerrycanavan Your poor heart has been broken, but someday I know you will learn to trust again. Also, HULK SMASH PUNY IMPURE SURROGATE!
