  1. @unsworth Truly terrible news. Thinking about all of you at GSLIS . . .
  2. @foundhistory Clearly, this means war . . .
  3. Whenever a word like "glitch" shows up in the news, I am seized with the desire to learn Yiddish.
  4. Anyone else frightened by the prospect of a language that tries to mashup Python and C++ (i.e. Google Go)?
  5. @leoba @jamescummings It's the One World Government! Crazy TEI leftists . . . #tei_09
  6. @dancohen And yet so much of the software I've written is fetid, foreign, synthetic, unsustainable, and obsolete.
  7. I note that my URL shortener is -- inexplicably -- unable to deal with gopher:// URN.
  8. . @patrickcentral notes that there's a port of Twitter to Gopher! gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/fun/twitpher?acedtect
  9. Dear ADHO: We need to add the new SDH/SEMI journal to the front page.
  10. @jtheibault Yes, yes! Of course. Sorry, my French is rusty.
  11. I'm pretty sure that "Le champ numérique" means "numbers are champs!"
  12. SDH/SEMI presents its new journal, "Digital Studies / Le champ numérique" http://bit.ly/OSK28
  13. @benwbrum But honesty, it's become such a piece of orthodoxy, I've assumed for years that my intuitions must be wrong on this one.
  14. @benwbrum Definitely. But I also have an acute sense of when I'm wasting my time as a programmer. And unit testing always feels that way.
  15. Favorite line: "Unit Tests Catch Bugs! . . . Really? When was the last time?"
  16. I've had a sneaking suspicious for many years that the whole unit testing thing is absurd. Bravo for this, then: http://bit.ly/20PFXG
  17. RT @patrickcentral: Why I love the Internet: @big_Ben_clock
  18. @dancohen Man, I remember getting email from Martin Dougiamus basically thanking me for being an actual user of his software.
  19. @mkirschenbaum I think it was the word "smackdown." You should see what happens when you go with "cage match."
  20. @nowviskie rcs, then cvs, then svn. I get the feeling it's time to switch again, but it pays to be fairly conservative with rev. ctrl.
