Happy Dictionary Day!
@hober: @Roebot: which two startups?
@hober: @thorne, IIRC I sent you a patch for it some time ago. Did that get applied?
@hober: @grossberg: isn't that completely crazy? @kirinqueen and I couldn't believe it when we first found out.
@hober: @aseever: exactly.
@hober: @emp: I'm guessing you haven't seen http://tinyurl.com/ywbxxp
@hober: @adamend: heh. that's me.
@hober: @pfhawkins: but they don't use Robert's Rules. IIRC, their rules evolved from Jefferson's Manual, which predates RR by ~75 years.
@hober: @nateritter: I hate it when w3schools beats out the actual W3C spec I was looking for.
@hober: @nateritter: I suppose I wouldn't mind it so much if they actually knew what they were talking about.
@hober: PSA: The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets http://tinyurl.com/qph9
@hober: @karlw3c: they should have used HTCPCP!
@hober: @abedra: very nice. Looks like you need some overflow:hidden though. Also, have you seen the Planet Emacsen theme?
@hober: @grossberg: indeed. People have no idea what idempotency really is. Clicking such a follow link N times is the same as clicking just once.
@hober: Oh Anaheim and your insipid rally monkey.
@hober: I tried to say goodbye to @dizfactor tonight, but that proved harder than I anticipated. Nevertheless, it's nice to be around friends.
@hober: @sogrady, I'll admit that I momentarily contemplating blaming you.
@hober: trying on my bolt and chord...
@hober: drove on a freeway for the first time this morning.
@hober: While http://ampertee.com/ looks nice, I already have the best ampersand T: http://tinyurl.com/5qwxlu
@hober: @kirinqueen: awwwwh, gene globe toss!
@hober: @MarinaMartin, that's been a pet peeve of mine for years and years.
@hober: Hmm. Perhaps @stonegreg's barleywine doesn't pair well with ~/TODO.
@hober: I've sort of been trying to write a blog post about @dizfactor's passing, but I keep tripping over it.
@hober: It's ridiculously loud here.
@hober: WANT http://tinyurl.com/3tdjm3
@hober: The very first thing I would buy with Fuck You Money: http://www.cabestan.ch/en/
@hober: @worksology: that's also on the wishlist.
@hober: @KevinBaird: ooooh, looks tasty.
@hober: Good to run into @andywaer & @joshthewebguy while at @toronado (the SD one) with @kirinqueen, @LindsayDayton, and @jessimuhka last night.
@hober: Oops, and @krysaia. Thanks @jessimuhka
@hober: @dkr: looks like there's a decent amount of prior use out there: http://www.google.com/search?q=annoyment
@hober: @kirinqueen and I kissed for the first time five years ago today. :)
@hober: @SDTechGirl, thanks :)
@hober: @Adora's right, @nateritter & @bmevans--the 9th is more properly called our snogiversary.
@hober: @Madrox: brilliant!
@hober: @enkrates: I miss The Weekly Week. :/
@hober: Getting ready to head over to @merbcamp.
@hober: (at @merbcamp) Nanite sounds really nice! http://github.com/ezmobius/nanite/tree/master
@hober: Merb's such a young community, but you wouldn't know it from how polished and awesome @merbcamp is. Well done, @mokolabs & others!
@hober: @adactio, make sure you eat at Redbone's before hititng up the Burren!
@hober: If you're not at @merbcamp, you can watch my talk later today on the webcast: http://merbcamp.com/webcast
@hober: Oh noes! 2022 reference at @merbcamp! #html5
@hober: @ More Super's after-party @ the Ruby Room with @kirinqueen.
@hober: @ToddHuffman: lucky!
@hober: San Diego web peeps: @sdwebstandards' Pub Standards is 7 PM tomorrow night @ Stout: http://tinyurl.com/4njjlf
@hober: @Imagium: yeah, by the time you sent the refreshsd email it was already too late to change the pub standards date :(
@hober: @jauricchio, story of my life :)
@hober: Fire in Rancho Bernardo; we can see it from the office.
@hober: @jessimuhka: 4S Ranch
@hober: I hope you can make it to tonight's pub standards meetup! 7pm at Stout. http://tinyurl.com/4njjlf
@hober: @sogrady: I suggest Bukowski.
@hober: @Roebot: I was referring to the pub named after him in Boston, as a good place to enjoy a beer while watching the game.
@hober: Thanks to everyone who made it out to San Diego's inaugural Pub Standards! We had a great turnout; lots of interesting conversation was had.
@hober: @inkedmn: Did you know about the coworking space in Fullerton? http://www.coworkingfullerton.com/
@hober: @nateritter: heh. Not only am I working on such a beast, but there are at least three others as well! :) #twitter #emacs
@hober: @cameo: whoa, that's surprising.
@hober: Happy Dictionary Day! http://edward.oconnor.cx/2008/10/16
@hober: @leefur: indeed. Important safety tip; thanks Egon.
@hober: Shopping for @kirinqueen's birthday present. (One month out, still, but I've got a pretty good idea I'd like to execute on.)
@hober: @brianleroux: awesome! @kirinqueen and I have impatiently awated it for some time.
@hober: San Diego friends: @hamilton's 2nd anniversary is Saturday! @kirinqueen and I'll be there; come if you can! http://www.hamiltonstavern.com/
@hober: @valdelane: will do!
@hober: @tillyritter yup, we're still in for tonight!
@hober: @hamilton's 2nd anniversary today/tonight. You should come!
@hober: Just got to @hamiltons with @kirinqueen
@hober: Please consider helping @kirinqueen meet her goal to raise $3000 for Type 1 Diabetes research! http://tinyurl.com/3odyuz
@hober: Somewhat sad to be missing @BarCampLA this weekend, but lots of other good stuff is happening in SD, so I'll be kept busy.
@hober: WTF is a jail guitar door anyway?
@hober: I'm wearing the most comfortable socks in the world. (Hand-made with love by @kirinqueen)
@hober: @schondy: result #3 for me. Crazy.
@hober: @sogrady I used http://designyourowncard.com/ when I made my latest business card http://tinyurl.com/63o4kk
@hober: The new del.icio.us frequently forgets I'm logged in. Very irritating.
@hober: IE6 considers about:blank to be a nonsecure item insofar as SSL is concerned. Brilliant. On the plus side, IE7 fixed it.
@hober: Heading to @stoutsd tonight for a http://www.bchigh.edu/ alumni get-together.
@hober: @moresuper: I believe you've discovered the bytask: http://neologasm.org/neologasm/2007/04/bytask.html
@hober: Met http://tinyurl.com/6fn6ut at our high school's alumni get-together at @stoutsd last night. Nice guy.
@hober: @avh4 @nateritter and @tillyritter are there already.
@hober: @Adora: actually, hardcore geeks type normally, then use C-x C-w (bound to `upcase-region').
@hober: @hober: correction: C-x C-u. Obviously I shout from @emacs very frequently.
@hober: @Adora: what can I say? Emacs is an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
@hober: Every so often Chrome decides to log me out of just about every site I use. Gee, thanks.
@hober: @lukemysse: cool. How's the space? @kirinqueen and I hope to work a day or two from there at some point when visiting her folks.
@hober: @technomancy: WJW. That's terrible.
@hober: @AndrewWarner: "Check All," then "Archive" works for me, in gmail. But maybe you wanted to actually deal with all the email? :)
@hober: @adactio's new project, @huffduffer, is gorgeous. Really quite beautiful.
@hober: @culturelust: completely agreed re: dexter.
@hober: @kensanata: don't feed the trolls! No good can ever come out of interacting with Xah.
@hober: @Adora: I'll be there. @kirinqueen might come too. See you tonight!
@hober: On 11/4, please consider voting Yes on 1 & 2 (MA), http://noonpropd.org/ (SD), http://noonprop8.com/ (CA). Assuming you vote. Which I don't.
@hober: @kirinqueen: we could all wear the same color shirt, at least
@hober: @andywaer: 'text-transform: capitalize's definition: "Puts the first character of each word in uppercase; other characters are unaffected."
@hober: @andywaer: see http://tinyurl.com/5mt3wz for more.
@hober: Happy hour: @kirinqueen and I will be at http://www.obrienspub.net/ (the hoppiest place on Earth) around 6. Join us!
@hober: Was nice to meet @sdgeek, @ginatrapani, @gdarklighter, and to see other friends at the SD geek bonfire last night!
@hober: Ensconced with beer & @kirinqueen at table in O'Brien's. Wet Hop Festival = win.
@hober: O'Brien's -> Kadan.
@hober: DJ just busted out some Herbie Hancock, from Head Hunters. Sweet.
@hober: Don't you know who I am?! I'm Ken Greenburgh. You're fired!!
@hober: At Shakespeare for special Halloween edition of their pub quiz, with @kirinqueen and @Lindsaydayton.
@hober: In costume, of course.
@hober: @KevinBaird: there are a lot of ways to contribute to the experience--helping to pick up the trash after lunch, getting there early to help.
@hober: Testing out various sites in a desktop build of fennec, the upcoming mobile Firefox. http://is.gd/4fVd It's pretty awesome.
@hober: @TheBarefootRose: whoa. I hope everything works out as well as possible! :/
@hober: Greader regret: naming folders ^web, e.g. webcomics, webdesign. They're just comics, it's just design. No rename feature means I'm screwed.
@hober: all-time greatest tweet: http://twitter.com/fireland/statuses/962822379 via @pjdoland
@hober: @MarinaMartin, thanks! found http://tinyurl.com/4dxtkz and am following their instructions.
@hober: @eleddy: November 15th and 16th. http://barcamp.org/BarCampSanDiego
@hober: Some good pictures from last night's sdblogger party: http://tinyurl.com/5v7ggz
@hober: @pfhawkins: that was me. :)
@hober: @sogrady: hear hear!
@hober: Great costume! http://www.flickr.com/photos/cindyli/2986424703/ (via @cindyli)
@hober: Re-tweeting @numist: twitter's description of itself (front page) is 182 characters. COME ON NOW.
@hober: @inkedmn: CLOSD loves open source douchebaggery. We could even build it in Common Lisp. What should it do?
@hober: @patrickdlogan: that may have been @emacs' fault. (AKA my fault.)
@hober: Man, deletionists can suck it.
@hober: Looking forward to tonight's djangosd meeting: http://djangosd.jottit.com/2008-10-30 django + microbrew beer == awesome.
@hober: Came into work dressed like http://neilja.net/ (a co-worker) for Halloween. Laughter all around.
