  1. Never thought of that! "@LesPaulDuJour: Been using Mac app "iMuse" for songwriting lately. Great app!"
  2. @darkhelmetlive Seems some of the folks at Pivotal Labs are big into chef for OSX dev environments: dl.dropbox.com/u/14813764/pre…
  3. Wow. This looks like it will be awesome if they pull it off! delanceyunderground.org
  4. BTW, if you want to abuse databags in this way, Thom May mentions the spice gem will help: github.com/danryan/spice #chefconf
  5. Talk ends with using databags as makeshift app databases. The title "Abusing databags for fun and profit" was very apt ;-) #chefconf
  6. Is it bad that I'm intrigued by dangerous use of data bags? ;-) #chefconf
  7. Ex of using data bags for locking, sequencing, synch, orchestration, cacheing, etc. Admittedly many untested & dangerous :-P. #chefconf
  8. Huh… time to recovery for wireless after the lights went out at #chefconf was approximately 6-8 minutes. Not bad. #gameday
  9. Also getting some interesting discussion of orchestration which is very interesting for what I'm working on. #chefconf
  10. Awesome impromptu fill in session from Adam Jacob. Many more f-bombs dropped than this morning. Have done the wave 3 times. #chefconf
  11. @jdeamattson Totally agree. The lesson that I took out of it wasn't that CouchDB was bad, just bad for this situation.
  12. Interesting. Haven't heard of many companies moving from NoSQL to a relational DBMS, but that was the answer for Opscode. #chefconf
  13. "We had to break up with CouchDB." #chefconf It sounds like it was relatively amicable.
  14. Awesome ;-) RT @EasyAs314159: Claude Shannon be damned, I will compress this 23K file down to a single byte!
  15. Don't hit those unfollow buttons just yet. I promise a more subdued conference tweet feed this time around ;-).
  16. @sarahnovotny from Meteor Entertainment doing some very cool things with chef & gaming. Think my gamer friends would like hawken. #chefconf
  17. Vidal, among other things, a volunteer firefighter (incl. for Burning Man!). Very appropriate for ops talk. #chefconf chefconf2012.sched.org/speaker/ronvid…
