  • 14:38 @akamai_soti I'd settle for web sites that accepted + in the left-hand-side. It would be nice to work for a company that did that. #
  • 15:47 @diveintomark the Asus 1005ha seems to have better specs at a better price, if you are willing to throw away a Window s license. #
  • 17:17 RC nurse: every time I do one of these veins it explodes. #
  • 19:03 Having tried @taptaptap's Voice Candy, I'm glad I didn't pay $13 for it, and won't pay $1 for Voices. Good for them for offering a free try #

  • 08:53 @gisellis buffer overflow and stack collision with heap due to no bounds checking and a re-course-ion without a base case. #
  • 08:54 The monster manual song: vimeo.com/m/#/4138559 (even plays on iPhone) #
  • 09:52 @csoandy Tweetie decodes it properly here. But I don't know who is responsible for proper coding. vimeo.com/4138559 should work. #
  • 09:54 If W7 is only selling at twice the retail rate of Vista, Microsoft is screwed. They needed 5x to succeed. #
  • 12:55 @adamshostack Is anybody surprised? I'm aware of colleagues, students, and the cool unsympathetic minds of the future reading all I publish #
  • 17:25 For iPhone Security Geeks: RT Cisco released an iPhone app called Cisco SIO To Go (Sec Intell Ops) bit.ly/6v6kqW (via @wennefer) #
  • 00:18 Discovered that promising work on combining malware scanners is just a specialization of Arrow's theorem. Wonder if it's still news to most. #

  • 08:59 Next New Kindin will want it's money back---it clearly overpaid. www.democracynow.org/2009/11/13/eminent #
  • 11:14 Turns out Apple "Genius" fixed screen but disconnected earpiece. Quality workmanship, that is. #
  • 00:01 @bohanlon letter b, letter b... #
  • 00:02 Enjoying /Kim/ very much. Thank you project Gutenberg & expiring copyrights. #

  • 12:18 Seems silly to claim Mac support and lag OS X release compatibility by 9 months. SafeNet isn't quite lying, but that's not honest either. #
  • 12:20 @bohanlon are you surprised that the practical xemacs team has better Windows support? #
  • 13:47 Playing with a new Apple mouse. Very thin, very light, the lack of cable inertia will take some time to get used to. #

  • 11:29 Disappointed that Google's "Closure" JavaScript optimizer doesn't unobfuscate malware JavaScript. #
  • 11:32 @_rigel_ Don't pay attention to the man with the thistledown hair---unless he's on the blue line. Moving water is safe. #
  • 11:38 @csoandy $COMPANY web log by the occupant of room 713. It fits with our other product names. #
  • 13:54 @jcberk the noun is "request.". You look unfluent and lose credibility when you write "make an ask." #
  • 15:11 Wondering if Homebrew is a better fit for me than MacPorts: github.com/mxcl/homebrew #

  • 14:24 @FakeAPStylebook It depends on the relation of the : to the -, and is legitimate in the prolog. #
  • 15:05 Drexel develops world's largest domino set: bit.ly/2CTgSC #
  • 18:12 iPhone display cable replugged after $199 offer of sidegrade declined. Could wish for better diagnostics at the genius bar. #

  • 09:52 Parking 500 spaces closer than usual makes clear that the school board, not HR, dictates company holidays. #
  • 22:42 Organic celery tastes a little buttery, a very little acrid, like onion greens. Much more flavor than I'd known it had. #
  • 00:37 Very funny if you know your heresies; probably funny if you're a Catholic or a Pentacostal: bit.ly/11q96r Or mock pentacostals. #

  • 13:16 Jobs I do not want, partial list: yfrog.com/ekmw2ayj #
  • 15:16 Nice touch in Foodler's banner today. They've got Google beat. #
  • 15:17 @jack_mannino It's how you get an auditor to sign a report. You use a test, he uses his pen. Pentest. #
  • 18:19 I was there in 86, the year our own retinas turned against us. I remember thinking the future would always be spot color: j.mp/tvCSA #

  • 13:52 My keyboard has shifted to Dvorak by itself twice in the last half hour. Something is crooked. #
  • 13:55 I'm concerned that Vixie applies semantics of truth and lies to metal. Short cache times are accurate technical data. bit.ly/4bNHLd #

  • 08:56 Checked in at Holiday Inn Eindhoven, wondering about Saturday morning train schedule, transfers to airport trains, etc. #

  • 08:33 RT @squarooticus: Remember to vote the bums out today: no to all incumbents #
  • 11:12 @gisellis Jerky. Popcorn. Celery with peanut butter. Celery without peanut butter. Olives. Fritos for salt. Crackers with cream cheese #
  • 14:38 Starbucks is folding up their $25-10% discount program after less than a year. So much for imitating Amazon Prime. #

  • 10:23 @csoandy just in time! XHTML is dead; HTML5 is the new future. #
  • 14:11 It a horse. It a cow. It a cotton ball. It a pogo stick. It a rump roast. It a moose! #
  • 00:15 Verizon's extra charge for Exchange access is exactly why I favor network neutrality legislation. #

  • 10:34 @robinsloan consider flashbake for fiction version control. #
  • 12:02 Love the error message for not having Flash: www.sesamestreet.org/onair/history/vote #
  • 12:37 It's almost certainly possible to recover audio from the low-order jitter of a webcam mounted on a springy platform, like a laptop screen. #
  • 14:51 Kensington's microsaver DS locks tout "disk style keyed locking." Disks are modern, right? Like Blu-ray /disks/. #
