  1. @ianbicking I prefer weather.gov (just type in my zip code in the box and I've got the weather) because of the awesome hourly weather graph!
  2. Getting ready to go pick up Jackie's favorite sister and her husband at the airport and then drive to my parents' for Thanksgiving! #fb
  3. @lydiaschoch It looks very slightly like a video game. :-)
  4. Wow! Thanks, @kchodorow and @mathias_mongo — MongoDB now has map-reduce built in! Must try it out soon and blog. http://tinyurl.com/ykmblru
  5. MongoDB looks so great. But I keep hearing the siren call of writing clever map-reduce functions in CouchDB to keep things like # of items.
  6. @aclark4life A WebFaction account comes with a free DNS management console for the domains you want to host there. As many as you want.
  7. I have been trying to only decrease the number of accounts I have online, but Yelp is looking so useful lately that I may sign up.
  8. I must admit, the green "+" next to each MultiSelect in the Django admin, that lets you add a new value on-the-fly, is pretty schnazzy!
  9. Will I ever work out which questions to ask at superuser.com and which to ask at serverfault.com, I wonder? :-)
  10. @holdenweb I've had a client on Google Apps for a few weeks now and, except for the 5-day wait if you delete & recreate a domain, I love it.
  11. You're right, @ubernostrum — it does still map objects to relations, whether it's a 1-to-1 ORM (SQLAlchemy) or a many-to-1 ORM (Django).
  12. Does Django not guarantee that a given database row will only be represented by a single object in memory at any given moment? Like ORMs do?
  13. Allowing trailing commas in data structures in Python was genius. Like C's using ";" as a statement terminator, not separator.
  14. Wow, @everyblock fixed the bug I'd encountered when all they had to go on was my annoyed Tweet! Wonderful! :-)
  15. Drat. Why does the EveryBlock "custom feed" button just return the normal feed, including the information that I just carefully un-checked?
  16. Ahhh. Dutch chocolate, a snifter of brandy, and a good book. Wake me when it's morning. :-)
  17. Editing the archives of the Python Atlanta group, I'm humbled to see that I gave talks I now don't even remember giving.
  18. Aha! #mercurial lacks "ls", which I have been missing, but I just discovered it has something much better: "locate"! Brilliant!
  19. @lydiaschoch Judging from tweet volume, Jackie is clearly the Twitter geek among those attending SBL. :-)
  20. @lydiaschoch Tweet tagging is so you can see all the tweets on a subject, like the SBL conference: http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23sbl
