@hober: i18nが嫌いだ。
@hober: @joshthewebguy: shit man, that sucks. Happened to @TheBreeze recently. Perhaps commiserating over pints @hamiltons is in order.
@hober: having server problems. Ugh.
@hober: Hmm. I guess it was time to stagger those cron jobs. /me facepalms
@hober: @zare_k: choose and perish!
@hober: @ChrisClarkeCRN, I have long cursed them for beating me to the domain name, and so have refused to try their service on principle.
@hober: Bad: being home sick. Good: @kirinqueen's homemade chicken soup for breakfast. Yum.

@hober: @mhat, you should talk to @t re: bouldering. Though, now that pownce is shutting down, I'm not sure how @t will coördinate climbing sessions
@hober: @mhat, meet @t. @t., meet @mhat. I'd do the introduction in person, but I'm inconveniently 500 miles south. @t, @mhat's into climbing.
@hober: Happy Repeal Day everybody! If only there were an actual drug prohibition ammendment to repeal, too. :/
@hober: @joonspoon: while I do, I've been looking forward to today since this time last year. :)
@hober: Back in the garage with my bullshit detector / Carbon monoxide making sure it's effective
@hober: Tomorrow we're celebrating Advent in that most wonderful of ways: the Twelve Pubs of Christmas. 30th St. will never be the same. DM for info
@hober: @joebird, any thoughts? http://twitter.com/cameo/statuses/1041139588
@hober: @Adora: Does @nateritter's count as "old ppl" enough? I bet you could find a workable arrangement w/him.

@hober: Met up w/ @danifesto, @jessimuhka, @ShaunaStannard & @chriszach at @DecemberNights. Missed @laruu, @foxtrotxray, @tillyritter & @nateritter.
@hober: Nordig mulled wine competition last night @DecemberNights: Finnish Glögi > Danish Gløgg > Swedish Glögg. Hungary's forralt bor is ...
@hober: Nordig? Really? 'g' isn't anywhere near 'c' on this keyboard. How'd I do that?
@hober: Three hours until we kick off the Twelve Pubs of Christmas at Bluefoot. You're all invited (including out-of-towners like you, @muliby).
@hober: And so it begins.
@hober: Exchanging 12 Pubs survival stories with coworkers. Definitely wasn't the worst off. Thanks to all for coming out for it! And now, detox.
@hober: @aconbere, excla.im looks pretty awesome! Congrats.
@hober: @assignmentdesk1 is the best Twitter source for updates on the University City F-18 crash.

@hober: @assignmentdesk1 reports two civilian deaths in F-18 crash. :(
@hober: Does anyone know what the police parade along Aero Drive this morning was all about?
@hober: Why do people expect others to answer the phone when the calling number is withheld?
@hober: @LindsayDayton: that's classic Kathy Sierra. Good stuff. Also, see @t's http://tantek.pbwiki.com/PositiveCommunities
@hober: @Wordie: awesome! thanks for the attention.
@hober: I hate it when xml namespace URIs don't resolve to something useful.
@hober: @MarinaMartin: yeah, that happy feeling you get when receiving the refund check is called "intaxication." (Coined by @rafuzo IIRC.)
@hober: @beertweeter: the Jolly Pumpkin, Nøgne-Ø, & Stone Special Holiday Ale is absolutely fantastic. http://blog.stonebrew.com/?p=249

@hober: @shindotv, I always liked this shot of that sign: http://tr.im/24yi ... For more neighborhood signs I like, see http://tr.im/24yl
@hober: @bobdc, it makes sense because XHTML2 isn't a successor to XHTML1. Hopefully the XHTML2 guys rebrand like W3C said they would.
@hober: Nick Gillespie hits the nail on the head, repeatedly and with great force: http://reason.com/news/show/130522.html #jeremiad #politics #econ

@hober: Lots of good San Diego photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwwdarrellarsonphotographycom/
@hober: Unlike virtually every other Boston->SoCal transplant, I learnt to drive here and am thus as clueless as the natives WRT driving in rain. :/
@hober: RT @assignmentdesk1: San Diego Fire pits saved by anonymous donor: http://tinyurl.com/5mt62v
@hober: Avoiding rain traffic by dining @ Karl Strauss.
@hober: @SDASM: 8 Sep 1966.

@hober: @sachac, I hope it's OK I've quoted http://twitter.com/sachac/statuses/1057016724 on http://planet.emacsen.org/ (see the bottom of the page)
@hober: @perrins, I think perhaps you meant to say XHTML2 when you said HTML5 there...
@hober: Did any of you hear the explosion in @scituate?
@hober: Yup, @kirinqueen and I are in @scituate (.ma.us) just in time for a snowstorm. Good times. If you're in the Boston area, we should hang out.
@hober: Wait, I left palm trees for *this*?
@hober: Taking the next Greenbush train inbound to South Station. If you're around today, DM @kirinqueen or myself!

@hober: @lisinsd: very nice! Which, the Boston one or the Cambridge one?
@hober: I think sci-fi fans writing ranty blog posts should have special spell checkers, that fix things like "cannon" when you meant "canon."
@hober: For my linguistics peeps: http://forvo.com/
@hober: @valdelane: @kirinqueen and I were planning on @stoutsd for NYE.
@hober: Politics is all very well in its place, that place being very much on the periphery of life. — Tim Worstall
@hober: Are there any working online en↔la translators? Not one-word-at-a-time dictionaries, mind you, but babelfish-like block-of-text translation.
@hober: @jonathanlieberm, "la" is the ISO 639 2-letter language code for Latin. Gotta fit these things into 140 characters. :)
@hober: What I was looking for: "Hoc dixit illa quoque." Thanks, linguaphiles. http://community.livejournal.com/linguaphiles/4178982.html
