  1. Drive from Chicago to Centreville, VA completed earlier today ~750 miles. Almost got crushed by an 18-wheeler.
  2. RT @jeffbarr: @tobrien - Make it commit suicide with a "shutdown -h now" entry in the root crontab.
  3. Does anyone know how to schedule EC2 instance termination?
  4. Saw a presentation on JavaFX this evening. Still seems very irrelevant - doesn't work on the Android phones (we will be purchasing in Jan.)
  5. There I updated my Twitter profile pic for those of you who want to see my new "hipster jerk" glasses.
  6. RT @mcculls: RT @dbradicich: Working on new Nexus LDAP impl....OSS users out there will be very interested (wink,wink)
  7. picking up a new pair of glasses - my prescription changed dramatically. I'm surprised I can still even see.
  8. RT @mattgumbley: @tobrien well, that's better than "really?... I have this Windows 98 computer.... and it's not working correctly... cou ...
  9. Time to get the tuxedo on, I have to go sing in Hyde Park today - an ambitious collection of Marian Motets: http://www.chicagochorale.org/

  13. Burn a sacred offering to the MacBook Pro! http://tweetphoto.com/4854885
  14. RT @emileifrem: Neo4j article on Wikipedia is about to be deleted due to lack of "notability." Disagree? Pls give input (not spam) here ...
  15. I'm giving up the dream of "injecting" examples into DocBook XML. I'm not convinced it is worth the trouble.
  16. My book plugins use DOM, and are embarrassingly slow. Maybe it is time to ask someone with more time to help me use Stax.
  17. @abayer oh, you mean on the Maven site. Yes, isn't that terribly confusing? There is an "official" FAQ and an "unofficial" FAQ.
  18. @abayer what are you even talking about? Maven is the most well documented project you'll likely encounter http://books.sonatype.com
  19. RT @caniszczyk: is going through the process of enabling EGit to participate in the #eclipse Helios release train... I'm thrilled!
  20. @huettermann package is on the way - I promise
