  1. Blog: I’m Speaking at SP Tech Con in Boston this July bit.ly/KErzqG
  2. @jaxdotcom Nah, worst case is if they fell north they'd be on Longleaf Pine <road>, but not a busy road.
  3. @jaxdotcom The trees? Can't tell... they were deep in the preserve. All I can say is they aren't there anymore :)
  4. @jaxdotcom We back up to a preserve. Seems two very tall pines are missing from deep in the preserve.
  5. @jaxdotcom Pretty good considering. Breezy & showers. The last band seemed like worst one, but let up in last 10m
  6. @jaxdotcom From Durbin Crossing (ST County, b/t Racetrack & 210): power out from 1030p-330a. Woke when lights came on, wind kept us up :)
  7. @spietrek Does "code complete" mean "I've checked it all in" or "it works & passes all tests?" I prefer the former :)
  8. @sympmarc Not into the whole "collecting friends" bit? Yeah, me neither :)

  11. @sinclairinator Oh yes... read the Win8 UI novel blog post by Jensen Harris. Even more coming after that (like killing Aero :( )
  12. @sinclairinator same exp here. It is also beta & mouse interaction is suspect by engineering's own admission. Reserving judgement until June
  13. @sinclairinator Nope... I haven't tested much either. W/O a good touch device, I didn't get much from it. May change that w/ June release
  14. The new #facebook integration on #bing is pretty slick... well executed and clean #fb
  15. So what's the story your #Win8 machine is joined to AD? Can you also use a LiveID to sync your config & app settings on the same profile?

  17. RT @DeathStarPR #Facebook's share float was a bigger disaster than our decision not to cover the Death Star's exhaust port. > LOL
  18. RT @_Admiral_Ackbar #PickupLineOfTheNight I wouldn't mind flying my frigate into your trap. > LOL
