  1. for the first time in ages, i'm getting to write smalltalk code again instead of doing product machine building etc.
  2. #ruby has a whole mess of wtf moments. i remember when i discovered this one: http://bit.ly/8wBOGb
  3. time warner "wide band" is going to turn out to be a great investment. upload speed is now 10x faster sustained than with "standard"
  4. @dhenrichs thanks for all the hard work and help during your vacation.
  5. nice little one... 'on commit messages' => http://who-t.blogspot.com/2009/12/on-commit-messages.html #scm
  6. @peter_c_william i run a team of 7 people. 2 programmers, 2 front end html, 1 js, 2 sys admin. i've never wanted to work in a large dept.
  7. @peter_c_william and yet those principles are largely abused by non craftsmen.
  8. @haruki_zaemon would you agree that a language can hinder through lack of expressiveness?
  9. when you visit a live journal site these days, do you feel like you've entered an internet backwater? some place that time left behind?
  10. an "orm" that doesn't have an awful design. uses ruby mixins. mongomapper => http://bit.ly/7HDAhS <= thanks @capotej
  11. @capotej now that is a design i can get behind.
  12. stephen ducasse covers this nicely and quickly in his traits talks ( slide pdf from esug at http://bit.ly/4nd6cI )
  13. seriously though, why does basically every ORM seem to be written by people who think inheritance for functionality isn't an abomination?
  14. @haruki_zaemon @mrowe @peter_c_william good people? as in maximally productive?
  15. @peter_c_william can you elaborate on that 'not slave to machines' comment? ( and this keeps @mrowe and @haruki_zaemon in the conversation )
  16. @jamesladd paypal finally stopped rejecting my bank account so i finally ordered those stickers on friday.
  17. @jamesladd your welcome
  18. more on http://bit.ly/75C7bG.. a person isn't Mongoid::Document. its a domain object. enough design abuse already.
  19. broken design: http://bit.ly/75C7bG. if you have mixins or traits or roles in your lang, stop using inheritance to get functionality.
  20. this applies to more technologies than #lisp => http://bit.ly/5T50Ud #AreYouACog
