  1. @paulsmith *excellent* choice.
  2. @jdunck if you dug that I got a bunch more. Let me know and I'll lay 'em on you.
  3. @fxdgear I think so. It's also small and indestructible, so you can travel with it, take it camping, etc.
  4. @dgouldin ruh roh. It's probably @alex_gaynor's fault.
  5. @daniellindsley well, we already know what the t-shirts should say. /me ducks...
  6. @gabegundy ah, was wondering about that. So rules perform better than triggers? Good to know.
  7. @daniellindsley oh man, can I work your merch table?
  8. @stevelosh ugh.
  9. @mitsuhiko dunno, it's not a "vs" for me: I use both. Right tool for the job.
  10. Did you know that PostgreSQL supports insert/update triggers on views? Anyone know how long that's been the case? SUPER useful. /cc @fwiles
  11. @epiohq /me pours one out.
  12. @daniellindsley you submitted a talk on wearing silly hats!? YAY!
  13. @varikin Neil Gaiman: vimeo.com/42372767; Adam Savage: bit.ly/JO5NE7.
  14. @alex_gaynor maybe we should institute a silly hats requirement at DjangoCon.
  15. @alex_gaynor I love that somehow the commencement tradition tricks anyone into wearing a silly hat just for the dubious honor.
  16. @thepeopleseason heh. Also see bit.ly/JRzPlQ, a comic adaptation of part of the talk.
  17. "People will forgive the lateness of your work if it's good and they like you" — Neil Gaiman. Story of my life, sad to say...
  18. Spending the evening watching smart people in silly hats give great talks. I love commencement speech season.
  19. @VanL well, I do own a patent on boiling water in a cylindrical metal container.
