  1. Mac programmers that use Coda may want to grab Coda 2 for half-price, today only!
  2. And the survey says… Beware of client that undoes a DNS change that reverts to the old copy of their site that doesn't work! Sigh.
  3. How do you debug an error that can't conceivably happen? I've spent hours proving that it can't happen, yet it does.
  4. Kinda frustrated to be working with github sources for a gem only to find that it doesn't come close to actually being working code!
  5. lnkd.in/cSTTuv Yes, I've had to create code that uses it for a client. Why do you ask?
  6. I think that this speaks volumes about how badly our current STEM education misses the mark. It certainly seems to ref…lnkd.in/tRHmpK
  7. @callistenbvhi1 That is not funny, or useful. Spam tweets are never welcome.

  9. @BarbaraKirk Yes, but that raises the question of why #syfy didn't come up with such an intersting show.
  10. Every Friday I find myself wishing that @SyFy would nuke all of their wrestling programs. They just don't fit the channel's concept.
  11. When having to do form validations in PHP I am powerfully reminded of why Rails is so much easier to make web applications with.
  12. Finally! IE6 use drops below 5%. I thought that nightmare would never end.
  13. Yesterday put in 94 maple tree taps. Today the buckets are buried. What timing!
  14. Got another blizzard today, once it warms up tapping the maple trees should produce a lot. Ready for sugaring season!
  15. Making a Rails site multi-lingual is usually pretty easy. Wouldn't you know that I had to bump into the exception today?
  16. Chamber of Commerce budget planning for the year. What will we do this year?
  17. 42 degrees yesterday, 2 today. I'm ready for spring!
