  1. Departing for #ase2009 in Auckland, New Zealand. http://bit.ly/Owl7l
  2. @sameersundresh True. And Arrays.asList(T...) is a goofy substitute. Related: http://bit.ly/3vgp3m
  3. Wrote a small *nix utility that prints short docs for a command, including all flags. http://bit.ly/2EdpoQ Try it out!
  4. Wrote a man page for the first time. Amazed that they still use archaic nroff macros and contain no machine-readable semantic structure.
  5. Idea for @twitter: I wish I could reply to my own tweets. That way, I could record an ongoing "thread" of events.
  6. Trapped by PowerPoint. Hope for TED-like, get quarterly budget report-like, instead. Tools should enable, not constrain. Alternatives?
  7. "For myself I am an optimist, it does not seem to be much use being anything else." --Winston Churchill
  8. "Thread safe means the race conditions are not apparent." http://bit.ly/2OW8Tj
  9. @Merlouis Direct, which is both good (fewer stops) and bad (hours and hours on one plane with no chance to stretch one's legs).
  10. Bought a suit. And pants. And dress shirt. And tie. And belt. And little plastic inserts for the shirt collar.
  11. @Merlouis Sort of. Going to New Zealand for a research conference in mid-November. http://www.brettdaniel.com/...
  12. Lots of travel. Louisville, KY two weeks ago, farm in OH last week, Nashville, TN this weekend, and Valparaiso, IN next weekend.
  13. Buddhist Mario: Can't kill enemies or gather any coins. Also you have to walk through the finish line to be humble. http://bit.ly/VsOve
  14. Talking about the Flying Spaghetti Monster at an Italian restaurant on Talk Like a Pirate Day.
  15. Migraine to the right yesterday. Migraine to the left today. Right up the middle tomorrow? Let's hope not.
  16. Learned that Thai Sriracha sauce goes great on (American) chili. Good chili should make the eater sweat a bit.
  17. Looking for recommendations on things to do during a week on the north island of New Zealand in mid-November.
  18. @Suziqindy I'm glad to hear Bill likes it. I reopened the comments. I had to close them originally because of spam.
  19. Saw a couple dancing in the grocery store parking lot. Both dressed in eveningwear and oblivious to the rain.
  20. Recently passed both Good Fella Bistro and Wise Guys Restaurant while driving to Champaign. What's next, Corleone Deli? Cosa Nostra Pizza?
