  1. @rentzsch Yeah, nearly every time I try do something complicated I run into some weird limitation and have to switch to perl -pe.
  2. @rudyrichter Yeah, it's just in BOLD RED on the page now. I don't recall that being the case last time I booked.
  3. (I only get this information *after* completing my purchase.)
  4. United: "The credit card used for this purchase must be available at check-in." WTF?!
  5. @echofon Tried another iTunes account (my MobileMe account) and it still didn’t work. Wish I knew what was weird about my setup.
  6. @echofon Still no luck, sadly (didn't realize "iTunes" meant the iTunes Store, not the iTunes application). Wonder if my account is broken.
  7. “Previous” and “Next” are really awful names for links in chronological data, like weblogs. What's wrong with “Earlier” and “Later“?
  8. A simple one-step test for identifying whether a SCM GUI will be of any use to me: Is the commit message editor modal? If so, no.
  9. Can't believe Word 2008 still doesn't usefully auto-save. My father lost several *days* of writing despite CrashPlan's continuous backups.
  10. @leosoto There might be a better way, but that works for me.
  11. @leosoto Then I cherry-pick commits I'm happy with from the feature branches to the staging branch, git svn dcommit, then rebase all around.
  12. @leosoto I typically maintain a single "local" branch with local build customizations, then per-feature branches, then a "staging" branch.
  13. @leosoto Primarily the ability to use Git tools (GitX on the Mac is wonderful) for maintaining multiple local branches in a single repo.
  14. Oh yay, a printer with a memory leak. That only took 20 minutes to diagnose.
  15. @echofon Unfortunately I have a non-jailbroken iPod touch :-(
  16. iPod touch appears to have died 2 weeks out of warranty. (Displays Apple logo on boot and won't enter recovery mode.) Sigh.
  17. @pendolino Yeah, I like it well. Primary advantage over just using Google Reader for me is keyboard support for *everything*.
  18. Downloading the NetNewsWire update for approximately the 10th time. Sparkle really needs to save updates and apply on launch.
  19. @rosyna It's like Slashdot, Audio Edition.
  20. @rosyna That podcast definitely put me over the top, too. Why so intent on discussing, in public, things about which you know nothing?
