  1. @shua123 Hah, it's getting a little long in the tooth. How'd you come across Print&Share?
  2. @MattH @boundsj @zachwill it’s on Safari Books Online (but I have no physical copy)
  3. @philipashlock a slightly preliminary announcement, but it's coming along :-)
  4. Cloning a 135MB repo on the #fluentconf wifi to prep for a hands-on session. #hrm
  5. @emilyville Thanks again for the awesome bamboo graphics! twitpic.com/9q16w9
  6. @emilyville The app sort've works. Though lacks your artwork :-/ civicsgarden.herokuapp.com
  7. @zachwill LESS is badass, but I like Mocha better (I like the done() method and that it can easily test client JS too) /cc @MattH
  8. @njudah sign up for dyndns.org instead -- gives you a domain name for dynamic IP. Tho if static IP is free (sonic)... Do it.
  9. @zachwill why do you like vows over Mocha? Aside: Sinon spies and stubs are also badass. /cc @MattH
  10. @MattH Mocha + Should. /cc @zachwill
  11. @zzolo you around next weekend? I'll be visiting the Twin Cities Jun 1 - 4
  12. I've now ridden 3 MUNI N-Judah trains in a row that have a door out of service (yesterday an entire car was closed).
  13. @mapmeld your rocketship failed to launch :-(
  14. @angelk @snajmi Twitter has you in good company: twitpic.com/9ml2cj
  15. Euphemism of the day: "This is simply a risk management tool…" salon.com/2012/05/14/chi…
  16. Apparently a project I worked on last week blew up on the twitters. codeforamerica.github.com/jfdicitizen/
  17. Annoyed again to hear "the only things worth doing are those things that pay for themselves."
  18. Aha! That's why Today's of the Shirt's CTR is so high: twitter.com/bensheldon/sta…
  19. Taco purveyor on @TacoConf: "there were a lot of people here, but they only ordered one taco each."
