  1. @tommorris Have you tried Homebrew? I've heard good things about it as a saner MacPorts alternative. http://github.com/mxcl/home... about 21 hours ago from Echofon in reply to tommorris
  2. Just found a big old earthworm wriggling around on the kitchen floor. I think the cats' hunting standards are slipping. 11:33 AM Nov 13th from Echofon
  3. @threedaymonk I'm not sure I've ever seen 'for' in any Ruby code. Which is a good thing, of course. 5:30 AM Nov 13th from Echofon in reply to threedaymonk
  4. D'Oh! Forgot to go to the cashpoint on my way in. Not just an excuse not to buy the beers at lunchtime, honest! 1:29 AM Nov 13th from Echofon

  8. @gkc Yes, if Directory supports tagging it's better than reinventing the wheel, as people are (a) already on it and (b) used to using it. 7:12 AM Nov 11th from Echofon in reply to gkc
  9. @san1t1 @gkc Rewrites I've been involved in have mostly been successful too, but general wisdom seems to be that they never work. 7:08 AM Nov 11th from Echofon in reply to san1t1
  10. @gkc It's how you arrive at the Ns that I can't see being easily modelled. FWIW I think rewrites have a bad press. 7:00 AM Nov 11th from Echofon in reply to gkc
  11. @gkc Isn't that a bit of a "how long are a random number of pieces of string?" question? 6:52 AM Nov 11th from Echofon in reply to gkc
  12. @robcollingridge Latitude works, but sometimes you get a sharing request e-mail but the request doesn't show up in the app. 2:33 AM Nov 11th from Echofon in reply to robcollingridge
  13. Either I'm being particularly dense, or there's something wrong with the Google Latitude request acceptance process. 2:18 AM Nov 11th from Echofon
  14. RT @tottinge: "not logic" is second to bad naming in readability killer list. [I can't fail not to disagree] 7:32 AM Nov 10th from Echofon
  15. ☺Finally replacing a 'throwaway' system that's been in place since Feb. ☹CMS-based replacement already drowning in a sea of technical debt. 3:41 AM Nov 10th from Echofon
  16. @patmaddox It's a long-standing tradition for Apple to force you to pay for a new version of QuickTime Pro every time they upgrade the OS. 12:44 AM Nov 10th from Echofon in reply to patmaddox
  17. @mahemoff Well spotted. I've added it to my .vimrc now too: http://bit.ly/KEqOa 2:54 AM Nov 9th from Echofon in reply to mahemoff
  18. Has Jeff Atwood been talking to @FND? http://bit.ly/3WxTUV 2:16 AM Nov 9th from Echofon
  19. Upgrading to Ruby 1.8.7 and specs failing because of hash ordering? Use "should =~" instead of "should ==". #standup (thanks @patmaddox) 1:51 AM Nov 9th from Echofon
  20. It's barely November, and there are charity collectors here dressed as Santa! #bahhumbug 4:26 AM Nov 7th from Echofon
