  1. Added quick and dirty memcache dump of rendered ThingsYouShouldRead HTML, which took about 15 minutes. #appengine rocks! http://is.gd/1wg7c
  2. Switched to http://opendns.com/ to avoid #alice fail; it's actually quite nice. It corrects my idiotic *.vom typos, for example. :)
  3. http://thingsyoushouldread.... is now pulling in and displaying del.icio.us tags for articles. I'm happy with how this is going..
  4. Crowdsourcing tags from Delicious is _trivial_. What a lovely API. :) http://is.gd/1vVpw
  5. @shinyloz: I'm planning to follow in @isofarro's footsteps by pulling in metadata from http://is.gd/1vO38 Delicious APIs also look useful.
  6. @shinyloz: What kind of "stuff" are you doing with your faves/greader lists? I'm looking through APIs I can hook into for metadata...
  7. @shinyloz: I do practically all my reading through the @instapaper iPhone app these days, so it was a natural fit for http://is.gd/1vMUc
  8. Ghostbusters holds up incredibly well after 25 years.
  9. I'm shocked, shocked!, that I can't seem to join any Battlefield games at the moment...
  10. Will be Battlefielding tonight, assuming the game actually works.
  11. @rossbruniges: Tourniquet? Doctor? Hospital?
  12. @ginader: Fixed, thanks! Meant to point that at the "Starred" item feed anyway... :) Try it again?
  13. Launched a tiny AppEngine project: http://thingsyoushouldread.... as a public mirror of my #instapaper queues. :)
  14. Battlefield? How about "Battlefail"!!! (I came up with that witticism all by myself...)
  15. Crossing my fingers, and starting the dishwasher after clearing (hopefully?) the Clogged Drainpipe of Doom. What could possibly go wrong?
  16. Sink is completely clogged somewhere back in the wall where I can't get to it; I'll be hitting the hardware store tomorrow for a snake.
  17. @tkramar: Yup. That's pretty much exactly what I did... (with one less `G`: `ggVG=`). The file's just a mess, I think. *shrug* :)
  18. That said, I've found myself actually enjoying vim recently... and hitting `<ESC>:w<CR>` in places where it makes absolutely no sense. :)
  19. Vim's HTML indenter isn't really all that quick. I've been waiting about 3 minutes, and it's only halfway done with a ~2000 line file.
  20. @TonyBologni: Wow. You sound busy. :)
