I think it was a good meeting. I used the word “turd” in at least two different contexts.
Garage door spring suddenly broke last night, so now my door weighs a ton. Had to get a neighbor to help open it so I could get my car out!
I have never used a bidet.
@Angel98798CP I am not who you think I am… but that’s still OK. I am cool with CP.
Wow, colleague cranks it up to 11 with a quote from Spinal Tap: “Such a fine line between stupid and clever.”
Reading about Xcode 4.2 and Automatic Reference Counting — graceful cooperation between LLMV compiler and ObjC run-time.

Chilly morning at the park.
We all know that “Bugs Bunny & Friends” is a lot more awesome than just plain old “Bugs Bunny”.
Trying to figure out why my why wife’s Android phone plays a bugle call (“assembly”) after every phone call.
shawnp0wers Goodnight Android, g’night blog. Goodnight Facebook, and system logs. G’night tablet, g’night pen. Until morning, when I’ll need you again.
Last night, I had a feverish dream that Maggie, our departed dog, was a fish. A TUBE-shaped fish. Hollow! And other fish swam through her.
DayFly posted a crazy video review (http://t.co/gy9FjLum) of @TacoLocoApp, an app written by my buds. (The app is better than the video).
Wow, snow on Monday, sweating on a lunchtime walk today. NC weather!
RobertFischer In a digital world where everything can be found for free, money is not for gaining access to goods: money is for enabling content creators.
Trying to get back in the habit of posting lots of little things on my blog, rather than a few very large things.
Trying out Gnome 3 shell…
jasongorman “I don’t write code any more, that’s how good I am at programming”. We have some funny ideas about seniority in our industry
A thin layer of snow blankets the yard.
@vbatts Woah, just realized we started SELF (and Rockhopper’s) in 2009! Time does fly!
Ah, winter in Raleigh… not a single snowflake spotted yet, but school’s delayed 2 hours tomorrow morning.
@vbatts! You’re in Raleigh! Welcome! - Alan, from SELF2010 & SELF2011. Twitter handle came from 2010 party at “Rockhoppers”.
.@bombsfall You’re right, Rendezvous *are* awesome. I just supported them by buying their Murf set. Looking forward to their upcoming music.
@esselfortium I heard “Quantum Magic” on @daveslounge (#225) — It’s been stuck in my head ever since. Excellent work!
OK, so melting wax and sealing envelopes was cool… but maybe using my class ring as a seal was not such a good idea…
Software licenses are like cryptography… don’t roll your own, use one that’s been published and vetted.
The awesome @DanAriely was on @WUNC’s @state_of_things yesterday. Surprised to hear “AIR-y ELL-y”, I thought it was more like “O’Reilly”.
Remember a few years back, when a web address was always followed by an AOL keyword? It seems that Facebook is the new AOL.
My worlds are colliding! Getting ready for #IgniteRaleigh - @deadmau5 on the sound system, and MOOSE (from Y-guides) on stage.
Late in the work day, co-worker, via IM: “you still at your desk?” | me: “very still”
Why do I always end up reverse-engineering the stuff made by my own company?
evanier Santorum: “Government cannot force you to pay for something that violates faith or beliefs.” Where do I get my refund for the Iraq War?
@mikbre @pwbrewer OK, that makes sense… unencrypted backups are restored without passwords. Learned that one through experience this week.
FYI - If you restore an iphone backup onto a new device, it does not restore passwords to built-in apps (mail, calendar, twitter, etc).
@anjibee schwing!
Having serious technical difficulties with typing math stuff on my tiny iphone keypad.
Giving D1 an intuitive feel for WHY the area of a triangle = ½•a•b•sin(θ)
Reserved slots for two events later this week - Ignite Raleigh 3 and the NCSU FOSS Fair.
@frijole “Bang, bang, bang, crash.” = the sounds of coding
Shout out to the nice folks at the Apple Genius Bar! They replaced my iPhone 4S, it had a weird intermittent memory/reboot problem. #AAPL
Experimenting with @evernote. So far, it’s munged my spacing, failed to find text in my only note & made iOS reboot. It’s just like Windows!
Today, I’m a “room parent” at the Chinese school… also known as “copy boy”.
I discovered the intriguing and eclectic student-run radio station, @wxyc, while my usual NPR station @wunc does their spring fund drive.
@CaliLewis Beautiful pose and smile (naturally), but overall, the image is dark. You could touch up the lighting, keep background dark.
coxn Passphrase axiom: Should smile and/or nod sagely every time you think your passphrases. Making it a gripe burns in the sad. Burn in happy :)
Cool… 2nd day in a row where I scored a free T-shirt. 1st was from @LinuxJournal. 2nd was from @WebAssign (@TriLUG sponsor).
My lunch buddies: “Moe’s is like CDMA: boring, predictable, mass-marketed, but works well for most people & a terrific default selection.”
llorenzin Had a fantastic time with my TNC talk at @trilug tonight! Great questions, fun conversations afterwards. Already plotting follow-up talk…
I am finally adjusted back to West coast time after our trip to Asia. That would be great, except I live on the East coast. #NightOwl
Mental whiplash… wheeeee!
Soup in the cafeteria was labeled “vegetable curry”, but it tasted like vinegar. Yuck. We’ll see if the jambalaya is any better.

Yay! I’m a winner… or maybe I’m a loser… I just received my “Oops… wrong window” T-shirt from @linuxjournal and @shawnp0wers!

Reconciling bank statements. Either I *always* forget my receipt at the gas station, or they are ripping us off. (Prob’ly me forgetting)
@graulund Thanks for creating and sharing Tweet Nest. Perfect timing, I had just made a script to keep a local archive. TN is MUCH better!
.@mc_frontalot, Thanks for showing us your Tweet Nest. I installed mine at - http://t.co/m8kHXYbe
Took the 96-question US citizenship test mentioned in my friend @mtdotnet’s blog. I got 92/96 correct. Uh oh, it’s time to self-deport!
schmanks Best part of the #SuperBowl?? Getting a discount from @namecheap in transferring my domains away from @godaddy! #BYEBYEGD
No, 8:55pm on Sunday night is NOT the time to remember that you have homework for the weekend.
Eating a BLM sandwich… bacon, lettuce and MATERS!
To give myself a sense of accomplishment for the weekend, I am going to add “fart around” to my @rememberthemilk to-do list.
Eating Scrabble Cheez-Its. House rule: spell a word & eat it. D1 & I both spelled GOAT. One of us must be projecting! http://t.co/ggGpVYfy
@felicity_aston Watching ur return to “normal” life, balancing, telling ur story w/o being a 1-song bird. What was “plot” is now “backdrop”.
@clubpenguinth I’m not who you think I am, but I’m happy to have you following me. My kids love CP. My favorite is the disco DJ game.
This morning’s dream: I bought a new pickup truck (white), and then spent the next week with it in the repair shop. ???
Playing with (open source) DVD authoring software. Ordered a USB/firewire cable for my old MiniDV camera. Time to move off of tapes.
Clearcase servers just went down… at 4:55 on Friday afternoon… ya think I should stick around for them to come back up?
Mmm, phlegm…
Trying to find a way out of the information age, and into the wisdom age.
@kflanagan Melissa
@kflanagan Etheridge? She’s a good singer, but I don’t know about her politics.
@StayAtHomeBabe For me, it’s the cute clothes that my kids used to wear. (I look my mother dresses me.)
@edog1203 How about checking for bad RAM on an iPhone?
Bought a new battery ($5) to revive my old 2006-era Nokia 770 mini-tablet gizmo.
@TekelecJobs It might be helpful to put the job location in your Jobvite tweets. No, I am not moving to India.
Wondering if my hummingbird-like attention span is caused by my work environment, or if I am just getting old and stupid.
Crap, another @wunc fund drive begins.
Just watched some jock in a muscle car get pulled as he sped up the on-ramp onto the highway, right in front of a StateTrooper.
shawnp0wers I think I’d make a great web comic artist. If only I could draw, and think up funny stuff.

Honestly, I have no idea which teams will in the Superbowl.
