| @gnat I'm 99% high-fructose-corn-syrup-soda free, too, so half a bottle of an american soda makes my head explode. Yay mexican supermarkets. |
|
| @gruber & @rightonbro thanks for the "Phila" notes! One of our (many) data feeds at yellowbot.com is using sometimes and it was odd to me. |
|
| The new Portishead album is much more satisfying than the reviews made me think. This sure will save some space on my iPod for a while. |
|
| going to the dentist, eek. |
|
| Nice timing. Fixing our secondary database server; minutes from it being ready to sync up data and be active-standby the primary dies! Grrh. |
|

|
| @shiflett Don't go on semi-vacation for a week and a half; I tried that, it just got worse! |
|

|
| @Theory dealnews.com sometimes have links for a cheap deal on Dells 24" (<$400) monitor (or sometimes their 30" one for close to $1000). |
|

|
| Came home from Zion, UT this evening. Up at 6am, pack, 4 hours light hiking, an hour lunch and then ~7-8 hours drive straight to L.A. Tired. |
|
| @gruber regarding XML: it's incredible that there's so much XML still. Sure, it is nice for document markup, but for data structures: JSON! |
