  1. Heading off to the #thoughtworks australia team hug.
  2. I'll be at #thoughtworks geek night tonight to hear @olabini talk about his devious language experiments: http://bit.ly/cH5GUU
  3. @olabini yup, I'll there later shortly. Not sure when people start appearing there.
  4. arrived safely to a beautiful morning in Sydney
  5. Starting the long grim trip to Australia. See you on Wednesday.
  6. @EdMcBane it's been down over the weekend. Hopefully they'll get it working soon.
  7. I knew it was only a matter of time before I started to use scss for my css.
  8. enjoying using emacs org-mode to keep track of todos.
  9. Rain's starting from Hurricane Earl. Cindy is happy that the garden's getting some rain. (The storm is not looking too serious)
  10. @fernandezpablo Using XML works wonderfully. XSLT not so much.
  11. @javame The xslt turns my source xml files into html. These days I do this with ruby, but these scripts handle the older files.
  12. Now a bit of rehabbing I'm not looking forward: delving into some elderly xslt scripts.
  13. @thecoda It is according to my mac's dictionary applet. Or more importantly, it is if people use it.
  14. @davidbbitton I've not looked at wordpress properly. I doubt it would handle my rather quirky needs.
  15. putting scaffolding up all over my website: http://martinfowler.com/snips/201009030955.html
  16. @gregyoung If it's valid code in another programming language (eg C#) it's internal.
  17. @RonJeffries I still like it now as much as I did when I wrote http://martinfowler.com/bliki/iPad.html
  18. @RoyOsherove No. there are commercial tools too - eg Intentional and ASP.NET MVC
  19. @juristr I'm usually happy with following the whole person, but some people go off on twitter binges which I like to ignore
  20. @RoyOsherove Things like Twist and Cucumber. Sadly the small size means we can't put in as explanation as we would like.
