  1. `position: relative` just fixed yet another display issue. CSS, why art thou riddled with arcana? 9:46 PM Aug 27th via Tweetie for Mac
  2. >>> True + True 2 This is new to me! Python's True and False are just 1 and 0 in disguise. 7:14 AM Aug 27th via Tweetie for Mac
  3. @daveunderwood Oops. I don't know django CMS but could "an open-source project from Switzerland" based on Django be anything but awesome? 4:59 AM Aug 25th via Tweetie for Mac in reply to daveunderwood
  4. @daveunderwood Django is fantastic. It's very different from WordPress (it does nothing on its own). No plug-ins; standalone apps instead. 6:38 AM Aug 23rd via Tweet (multiple columns for iPhone and iPad) in reply to daveunderwood

  8. @zeldman For 10K Apart, is the size limit 10,000 bytes or 10,240 bytes? I'm keen to determine the exact constraints. :D 3:58 AM Jul 30th via Tweetie for Mac
  9. Thanks again to @danielpunkass for pointing me towards WordPress's XML-RPC API. It's now easy to move from WP to Mango! http://mango.io/4/ 10:10 PM Jul 28th via Tweetie for Mac
  10. Obsessive–compulsive? Yes, I think so. http://yfrog.com/0zbi4gp 3:15 AM Jul 28th via Tweetie for Mac
  11. JavaScript, JavaScript, everywhere http://davidchambersdesign.com/61/ #javascript #nodejs #sproutcore 12:08 AM Jul 20th via Tweetie for Mac
  12. I disagree with @gruber… Univers > Helvetica, in my book 11:11 PM Jul 10th via Tweetie for Mac
  13. The riff at the start of SY's "Catholic Block" if freakin' cool. 1:42 PM Jul 2nd via Tweetie for Mac
  14. Ouch! Snakebite! Remember that to _copy_ a list in Python you need to write `new_list = orig_list[:]`. Forgetting this leads to aching head. 12:05 PM Jun 23rd via Twitter for iPhone
  15. I've said goodbye to WordPress, and it feels great! http://davidchambersdesign.com/50/ #mango #wordpress #dcd 8:24 AM Jun 2nd via Twitter for iPhone
  16. @daveunderwood I find it amazing that Google can search the entire Internet faster than my computer can search a few thousand files! 8:20 AM Jun 2nd via Twitter for iPhone in reply to daveunderwood
  17. The Apple haters’ stages of grief: http://bit.ly/99l97V (via @sstephenson) 8:14 AM Jun 2nd via Twitter for iPhone
