At monthly meeting for the Cleveland woodturning club.
| jbrinkman @christoc Yes. Been a little distracted lately. |
|
| jbrinkman Installed VS2008 SP1 beta... Now VS thinks this is my "first time".. settings gone, help is updating, Did MS learn nothing from 2005 SP2? |
|
| jbrinkman updating to blogengine.net 1.4 - only 2 default skins so I have to work on that as well |
|
| jbrinkman @shanselman Don't you realize that Vista is the Windows ME for the 32 bit NT codebase? MS Windows Vista - cuz MS Bob was already taken. |
|
| jbrinkman World of Warcraft sequel looks awesome... can't wait http://is.gd/uZM |
|
| jbrinkman @mgkimsal It looks we better start a massive conservation program or we will run out by 2013 http://is.gd/JxU |
|
| jbrinkman @mgkimsal Demand is driven on world market by asian/indian economies which outstrips our ability to "conserve". Answer is to produce. |
|
| jbrinkman @mgkimsal Futures are still based on realities. Supply, demand, strength of Dollar. Reduce demand, increase supply and strengthen dollar. |
|
| jbrinkman @mgkimsal The point about "speculation" is that it has always existed since by definition that is what commodities trading is all about |
|
| jbrinkman @mgkimsal Corn has gone up specifically because demand has outstripped production. Ethanol and Iowa flooding exacerbate problem |
|
| jbrinkman @cwoodruff Congrats |
|
| jbrinkman @DavidWalker I'm sure that was a nail biter. NOT! ;) Do you think Carl Franklin will get renewed. LOL |
|
| jbrinkman @mgkimsal If speculators had that much power, why did they not do it with wheat, corn, soy, pork bellies, oranges or any other commodity? |
|
| jbrinkman @mgkimsal You do realize that in order to buy a $150 futures contract, someone else has to be willing to sell it. |
|
| jbrinkman @halr9000 That's just a good way to instantly double your listeners :P |
|
| jbrinkman Did I ever mention I loathe proposals? Worse than writing them, is negotiating with clients who then want you to cut hours/rates - AARRGH!! |
|
| jbrinkman Day 1 of hundredpushups.com challenge is much more challenging than it first appears |
|
| jbrinkman Time to get back into the groove and return to a healthy eating and workout plan. @mgkimsal Starting 100pushups week1 so don't slack off ;) |
|
| jbrinkman working on code today... much better than working on proposals. |
