@hober: @boogah: they're going after the IE market--not directly trying to compete with FF or Safari.
@hober: The New Facebook's modals don't work in Chrome.
@hober: @Madrox: you mean like http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#offline
@hober: @simonw: I think my submission beat yours by a few minutes: http://tinyurl.com/59925x
@hober: SF peeps: join me for drinks tomorrow night, around 9, at http://www.phoenixirishbar.com/
@hober: A charity I can get behind: help the Irish baseball league with their baseball shortage: http://icanhaz.com/baseballs-in-ireland
@hober: The new version of Twitterlicious that came out today is a big improvement.
@hober: Django 1.0 released! Yay!
@hober: @TheRealTrevor, I could get behind that.
@hober: @ The Phoenix!
@hober: On holy pilgrimage to lacanastasf.com
@hober: @ the Googleplex for DjangoCon.
@hober: In the High Performance Django session with @h3h
@hober: @dacort, we should meet up today or tomorrow, either at djangocon or at @mattbo's afterwards!
@hober: Waiting for @jtauber's talk to start, upstairs at djangocon
@hober: Great day at djangocon & the 1.0 release party. Looking forward to more tomorrow!
@hober: @MarinaMartin, yup! Met up with @dacort and @aconbere last night, introduced them to @h3h.
@hober: @sogrady indeed. So far as I'm concerned, other sports don't happen until the end of the World Series.
@hober: Until djangocon, I didn't realize that people pronounced WSGI like "wizz-ghee." Really, people? As bad as when Softies say "earl" for URL.
@hober: On the other hand, pronouncing ORM as Orm, especially with a non-rhotic accent, it awesome. Makes me think of Nausicäa's Ohmu. Thanks Cal.
@hober: stealing @dacort's power cord while he waits to give a lightning talk.
@hober: In the schema evolution (migrations) panel at DjangoCon.
@hober: Hmm. In is ambiguous in that last tweet. Think "at," not "on."
@hober: @dacort, yeah, @toddgrotenhuis and I went to college together.
@hober: Out of 21 talks at DjangoCon, 5 were keynotes. That's 24% keynotes. I don't think that word means what you think that word means.
@hober: @jtauber: my small world gets smaller. You know the @SuggestionBox guys?
@hober: Mr. Osborne, may I be excused? My brain is full.
@hober: @sogrady: indeed I am.
@hober: @kevinmarks: I think a 10% election turnout would send a better message. "We're sick of this shit and aren't going to play along anymore."
@hober: @kevinmarks: If folk turn out for a candidate en masse, (s)he has a mandate from voters to do whatever (s)he would have done anyway.
@hober: No voters, no mandate.
@hober: Yay! Can't wait for them to come back to San Diego: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/70rjf/
@hober: @kirinqueen and I have been bad baseball fans: have yet to go to a game this season. So we're going to the Padres Sat. and the Angels Sun.
@hober: Cmon Youk
@hober: It seems like virtually everyone misunderstands the 2022 end-date for HTML5.
@hober: Namely, "when will this spec reach REC" has almost nothing to do with "when will I be able to use specced feature X in my work."
@hober: Another way of thinking about it: the waterfall model is just as bad for spec writing as it is for software development.
@hober: @AndrewWarner: http://tinyurl.com/3kxo8a
@hober: Wow, @djangopony is awesome.
@hober: Yay! The Union-Tribune is going to host our next djangosd meeting, on 9/25.
@hober: @timbray: I suppose you've never been to San Diego!
@hober: (I tweet, just before remembering I've seen @timbray at ETech.)
@hober: OH: did you just google metapants or what?
@hober: @MarinaMartin: Juliana Hatfield's been writing up stories behind some songs on her blog: http://julianahatfield.com/blog/
@hober: Last-minute decision to head to Stout; will be there @10.
@hober: That last-minute decision: not entirely intelligent, it turns out.
@hober: @CaseySoftware: ObSmallWorld reply: I used to work with several of the Clearspring peeps.
@hober: @adactio: link to wordridden is broken
@hober: Saddened by the redundancy of @html5. What was wrong with @WHATWG for commit tweets?
@hober: @schwarzwald, if you've ever used <canvas>, it's already impacted your daily work! :)
@hober: @gsnedders: god I hope not.
@hober: @ToddHuffman: indeed, that xkcd is awesome.
@hober: @nateritter: but uptown is so much cheaper, and so much AWESOMER. Seriously, join us.
@hober: tonight: buying his & her iPhones, dinner, then hitting up the @barcampsd planning meeting.
@hober: You know you're down Cape when you drive by the 9XL T-shirt store.
@hober: @Adora: that looks like it could be fun! I've sent the link to a relevant local mailing list: http://www.sifter.org/
@hober: reminder: Django San Diego meeting is this thursday: http://djangosd.jottit.com/2008-09-25
@hober: @schwarzwald: sure, come on by! All are welcome @ djangosd.
@hober: SD peeps: @lunch20 at @suggestionbox this Friday: http://tinyurl.com/48rekw
@hober: @LindsayDayton: guilty as charged.
@hober: @chneukirchen: awesome!
@hober: @technomancy: thus far, I haven't bothered.
@hober: Absolutely loving _Anathem_. Seriously, this book is fantastic. About 75% of the way through.
@hober: SD peeps: djangosd meeting tonight http://djangosd.jottit.com/2008-09-25 and @lunch20 at @suggestionbox tomorrow http://tinyurl.com/48rekw
@hober: @schwarzwald: I have no idea!
@hober: just registered for SXSWi. I hope to see you in Austin!
@hober: @lukemysse: at @schume's place.
@hober: @schume, @barcampsd will be November 15th and 16th!
@hober: @ilovemypitbull: that would be awesome. Take me to your robotic canine overlord! And freaky local bookstore! :)
@hober: Sad to be missing out on @lunch20 at @suggestionbox. If you're in San Diego, you should go!
@hober: @briansuda, yeah, it's been driving me nuts. Happens with any WebKit browser, even Chrome on Windows.
@hober: Just finished Anathem. Fantastic.
@hober: adjourning for nom-noms with @kirinqueen.
@hober: We've got a table for the pub quiz!
@hober: @sogrady: looks like account creation has been disabled. :( I can't correct the San Diego listing!
@hober: @gemalynn: ok, I prodded @mokolabs to update the wiki page.
@hober: @cameo: deservedly so!
@hober: hoping to get to some long-postponed blogging tonight.
@hober: I'm pretty sure this is the @emacs theme the @djangopony uses: http://tinyurl.com/44pymy
@hober: It's not even October yet and I've just finished making all the arrangements for my Halloween costume.
@hober: @ccg: depends on the neighborhood. Uptown is where it's at!
@hober: @schondy: very good guess! I'm torn between telling, and thus having copycats, and not telling, and thus being a dick about it.
@hober: @simplebits: hence the joke: the Roman Empire fell because, lacking zero, they couldn't indicate successful termination of their C programs.
@hober: @sogrady: personally, I prefer blue+brown to blue+black, almost all of the time.
@hober: heh. @emacs is 89 percent female: http://tinyurl.com/3rsf97
@hober: Sweet! http://www.google.com/search2001.html
@hober: @Imagium: It Works For Me (TM)
@hober: I think I'll use the nostalgia google search tool to set up some more permanent redirects for things I moved at some point in the past.
@hober: @rk: every year I marvel at how true that really is.
