  1. RT @johndburger How to get a liquor license in Boston now that Dianne Wilkerson is no longer in office http://bit.ly/7FXz7Q
  2. @WholeFoods_Way bring back your wine aisle and i will do that
  3. @jhndrsn it's fine. just sets the encoding, doesn't transcode. i know the correct encoding and the socket doesn't, so.
  4. @stuartrobinson why white? are there racial undertones to gibson that i missed?
  5. wife and i went to the range and put a couple rounds through the ol' sig today. nice to have inlaws to babysit!
  6. @JEG2 oh that does make sense. post-hoc String.force_encoding it is then. thanks
  7. for ruby 1.9 sockets, #set_encoding changes external_encoding, but doesn't seem to change the encoding of strings returned by #read. whaa
  8. @neha for one more week yo
  9. how the heck do i set the encoding of a tcp socket in ruby 1.9? no #external_encodign=. driving me crazy. do i have to do it per-string?
  10. in case it wasn't clear: yes, I am actually leaving ms. no, I am not actually taking a job at starbucks.
  11. @jeresig pity about his gun control record. otherwise seems reasonable

  15. hey, a 2tb drive for $150. so now i really don't understand anyone who wants to delete email in sup
  16. #redis tip of the day: redis might be fast, but lots of network connections + client overhead still hurts. MGET is your friend for speed
  17. almost 6 years of programming ruby and i'm still discovering useful methods in Enumerator. this time it's #each_slice and #group_by
  18. @stuartrobinson hell is trying to give a hungry baby a bath
