  1. Our landline phone at home doesn't have a dial tone, but our DSL works fine. Weird.
  2. First time drving to work in months and it's the NPR pledge drive. That didn't help me enjoy being stuck in the car for an hour.
  3. I'm enjoying use vim and screen as a workable vim/scheme REPL for my #sicpstudy work. /hattip @ktaylor http://bit.ly/3kcXaE
  4. @nfma @andymaleh you can avoid the JUnit assert ordering confusion by using assertThat() and the Hamcrest matchers.
  5. I guess I'm officially a four season bike+Metra commuter. http://yfrog.com/4i33133380j
  6. @just3ws I'm no longer surprised about bankruptcies and layoffs at companies after seeing the dysfunction and tech debt in their IT depts.
  7. @just3ws When contemplating IT being culpable in US economic decline, I first think about how crappy software has paralyzed many companies.
  8. Totally. RT @tyler_jennings: smart programmers who lack skill/discipline are far more likely to write code no one can understand. Agree?
  9. RT @benrady: vim comes with a time machine :earlier 15m rolls back 15 minutes. Also, :later
  10. @aberant what does ivy do better than maven?
  11. @chrismessina Regarding retweet via SMS, it could match the beginning of the tweet instead of just the latest: "Rt chrismessina Retweeting"
  12. Noticing all the #maven hate on twitter yesterday. What is the suggested alternative for managing java library dependencies?
  13. @liferay How can I ensure ajax calls from my portlet keep the portal session from expiring? Is JSR 286 serveResource() the way to do this?
  14. alice.com looks really cool. Think Peapod for household goods. Free delivery.
  15. Our dishwasher wasn't draining, so I took it apart, and replaced a worn out $10 valve and $12 part that I broke. Works like new. DIY FTW!
  16. RT @cjug Meeting tonight. Rakesh Vidyadharan presents on the Java Content Repository standard (JSRs 170, 283). RSVP http://bit.ly/3m2hQ5
  17. RT @aberant: it's rare that you find instructions this clear - http://bit.ly/3TWvY2
  18. So I know git is awesome and all, but how much pain is involved in migrating a repository's full history from svn to git?
  19. Just had dinner with neighbor who tutors/teaches home-schooled kids. Surprised to learn there are collaborative communities in the city.
  20. The first post DST day of walking out of my client's windowless workspace into complete darkness is a real kick in the teeth.
