  1. Tried walking the dogs alone this morning. Worked well until seeing another dog. Result: tangled mess of leashes and crazy dog muscle.
  2. Google App Engine team just posted the most complete outage postmortem I've ever read: http://tr.im/rBfu #turnlemonsintolemonade
  3. @nicolaus Sorry, not "extending" but "importing"
  4. @nicolaus Extending from the ragendja User stopped working with AEP 1.0.X. We had to update to django User imports for 1.0.2.1
  5. The "new" #MPR websites: "Look at us! We have new banner graphics!"
  6. With the Internet eliminating the need for whole categories of employment, I think "Player Piano" has new relevance: http://tr.im/r7ez
  7. Happy Anniversary @joshbohmbach @erinmccomb! Oh, and happy b-day USA too.
  8. That's the kind of manager I am ;-)
  9. I greatly overestimated my ability to use "affect" and "effect" correctly.
  10. @varikin Those kinds of managers overestimate their ability to effect the outcome.
  11. @varikin Nope, just the opposite. All simply assumed "they" were working on it. Who "they" are didn't really matter (does it ever?)
  12. appengine is back, thus giftag is back. I enjoyed my coffee while google engineers sweated it out. What part of that shouldn't I like?
  13. appengine fell down this morning. That's ok though, all webapps have downtime and people smarter than me (who work at google) are fixing it.
  14. RT @garykoelling Insignia™ website now uses Giftag as universal wishlist. http://bit.ly/DLuoZ
  15. @vitaflo Pandora, Tweetie, WeatherBug, Skype, Air Sharing, Shazam, Oregon Trail, Galcon, Path Tracker
  16. @enlightenedk9 I assume by "dibetic alert dogs" you don't mean dogs _with_ diabetes? If, in fact, you do mean that, well, we got one :-)
  17. "If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe." - Carl Sagan
  18. @joshbohmbach Great video too -- http://bit.ly/7ksJu
  19. @joshbohmbach "If I Only Had A Brain" by MC 900ft Jesus (off the fantastic album "One Step Ahead Of The Spider" http://tr.im/pWBH )
  20. Other computers I've named: 'minsky', 'camus', 'boogiebox', 'dylan', 'tatyana', 'veronica', 'lucinda', 'gonzo', 'sartre'
