  2. @thisKat @karenmcgrane Sorry, I quit twitter for a while. Anyway, I did see this and thought of you too. FWIW, Jakob is wrong wrong wrong. 10:58 PM May 27th via Mobile Web from Portland, OR   in reply to thisKat
  3. I'm quitting Twitter for a week or two. Probably. 6:38 PM Mar 29th via Tweetbot for iOS
  4. @emanuelbrown Rufus Peterson (503) 888-7270. A fantastic roofer and a great guy. His crew did our tearoff job 4 years ago. Quality! 6:33 PM Mar 29th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to emanuelbrown
  5. Romney: Anecdotes about layoffs are hilarious! 2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/03/listen… Santorum: Boys don't use pink bowling balls! hrc.org/press-releases… 8:22 AM Mar 29th via Twitter for Mac
  6. @fredbenenson @samuelfine @waxpancake Lots of clever UI ideas fall flat—I think @prismatic was trying to think outside the (check)box here. 8:05 AM Mar 29th via Twitter for Mac in reply to fredbenenson
  7. @waxpancake @Prismatic @samuelfine @fredbenenson Not a clear opt-in page. Reads like a suggestion, works like an order. twitter.com/danblaker/stat… 8:00 AM Mar 29th via web in reply to waxpancake
  8. @eddiemachado Cache-busting on dev machine FTW. E.g. github.com/h5bp/html5-boi… I do it like so: if(localhost = HTTP_HOST) $css_url .= timestamp 7:50 AM Mar 29th via Twitter for Mac in reply to eddiemachado
  9. @eddiemachado Sounds like a browser caching issue. Unless the actual CSS on disk changes. 7:42 AM Mar 29th via Twitter for Mac in reply to eddiemachado
  10. @nerdliness Now your avatar looks like that one guy in the Portlandia sketch. 7:39 AM Mar 29th via Twitter for Mac in reply to nerdliness
  11. @danachis I believe the latest default theme (Twenty Eleven) has been well-vetted for accessibility. More here: make.wordpress.org/accessibility/ 2:15 PM Mar 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to danachis

  13. @sarahgilbert My bad. I'd misinterpreted somebody's tweet from yesterday. 10:10 AM Mar 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to sarahgilbert
  14. @agray Never mind! I had misinterpreted somebody's tweet from yesterday. 10:09 AM Mar 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to agray
  15. @agray I'm pretty sure Delicious is not just down, but done. Dead. Kaput. 10:06 AM Mar 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to agray
  16. @StevenWalling @skry Indeed, but I'd say that misuse is a sign of the lower barrier to entry. It's more work to build a crappy Rails app. 1:22 PM Mar 26th via Twitter for Mac in reply to StevenWalling
  17. @skry @stevenwalling Those 3, and larger abstract issues: workflow, object model, performance. Not RoR specific, but shared by all web apps. 12:45 PM Mar 26th via Twitter for Mac in reply to skry
  18. @StevenWalling @skry Disagree completely, Steven. Extending Drupal/WP gets you to the same tough issues as building a Rails app, but faster. 12:26 PM Mar 26th via Twitter for Mac in reply to skry
  19. @jenelleisaacson @lupine Any time. Was just thinking today about how great it'll be to have you across the street… 6:49 PM Mar 24th via Twitter for Mac in reply to jenelleisaacson
  20. @jeremypair Er, premature tweet. Anyway, Pauls Boutique was on my list bc of the shock of the first song, not bc it was the best opener. 2:51 PM Mar 24th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to jeremypair
