  1. did something i haven't done in literally years...spent the last 4+ hrs playing a computer game! (Tales of Monkey Island pt.1)
  2. RT @gregferrell RT @zachvat: I can't recall ever clicking on a Web page ad. Of any kind. Ever. That just dawned on me.
  3. Nerd: originally Knurd, which is drunk spelled backwards. :) appropriate i'd say.
  4. i've blocked a couple of class B networks, a couple of class C networks, and a dozen random IP's. before i'm done may block of half the web.
  5. Fascinating... how have I never found this before?? historical origins for computer/tech words & phrases: http://bit.ly/ajJjLv
  6. @sh1mmer recursive nameserver requests... called the "amplification attack"... like what's happening to me.
  7. oh and while i'm at it, screw you @onrampaccess for being so lame as to not help me with this attack...for 6 days.
  8. holy hell i am getting so extremely pissed at damn hackers attacking my DNS server. 6 days and counting. #screwyou
  9. @stubbornella 14hr flight!? wow... where you going that far away!? :)
  10. @brianleroux right, that makes sense. :) @davejohnson
  11. @brianleroux sounds like that guy really wants Cappucino
  12. @davejohnson @brianleroux how does it do the cross-domain ajax? via CORS? or JSON-P? or?
  13. RT @brianleroux: Think I might write a book called "Refactoring FROM Patterns" some day.
  14. started working on LABjs 1.1 last nite. some corner-case bugs in "allowDupes" feature... may need a decent amount of rewrite to fix.
  15. @hexlib cool... that's roughly in the ballpark of what i was hoping for.
  16. @zii no evidence it's being enforced. but that doesn't make the patent less evil. :)
  17. UGH... IBM owns a patent on using a credentials Ajax proxy for federated/authenticated cross-domain Ajax... #patents #suck
  18. @ldexterldesign perhaps smarter people (even with less actual skills) are more flexible to change and learn something new when tech changes?
  19. RT @shanselman: OH: "Things you'll never hear. Wow, what an AMAZING middle manager." /via @Pete_Brown
