@hober: @thomasknoll: while there, say hi to @rion for me!
@hober: @dacort: spaces, depends on the language (PEP-8 says 4 spaces for Python), dark bg, python, git, emacs
@hober: Enjoying a Nelson Rye IPA from Alpine at @ritualtavern. I'm not checking in on @Foursquare so @kirinqueen can be mayor.
@hober: @enkrates: awesome. I bet you'll have a great time.
@hober: I'm looking forward to @jellyinsandiego at @hivehaus tomorrow—are you going?
@hober: 10% discount for biking to @searocketbistro? Why yes, I'll take that.
@hober: What's this I hear? Cafe Forte is closed? :(
@hober: @dialect http://catandgirl.com/?p=2061 re: hipster disalignment.
@hober: Lovely lunch at Blind Lady with @timyoung, @kirinqueen, and Carrie. Now at Toronado for stop 2 of N. All via bicycle.
@hober: Unholy beer combination of the day: 2/3rds Ruination, 1/3rd Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Not bad.
@hober: Excited to see The Princess Bride at Cinema Under the Stars with @kirinqueen. But first, dinner at The Gathering.
@hober: Singing along with Desmond Dekker on the Starbucks muzak. I think @kirinqueen is pretending she doesn't know me.
@hober: Nick Hornby in the Observer on music blogs and @hypem: http://bit.ly/2akUmq Congrats, @gtmcknight et al.!
@hober: XXXXXXXXXXX9. Dammit.
@hober: 2 of the #html5 super friends, @zeldman & @meyerweb, point to @sideshowbarker's H:TML draft as an authoring guide. I reply http://tr.im/yg27
@hober: Just installed the @taphunter iPhone app, which came out today. Whoo!
@hober: @karlpro: wow. web technologies like HTML, CSS, & SVG get short thrift in comparison to the other stuff listed on there. "W3C".gsub /W3/, ''
@hober: Sad that the @taphunter app doesn't know about @ritualtavern's taps.
@hober: @rockmeamadeus: yup!
@hober: @willwilkinson that drawing's a surprisingly good likeness of you. http://bit.ly/bo6dr
@hober: Wow, http://bit.ly/Yaue8 is crazypants. #html5 Repeat after me: there is no vast, browser-wing conspiracy.
@hober: Yay! @taphunter's got @RitualTavern now. It'd be great if @taphunter refreshed its @hamiltons data each time @hamiltons tweets new handles.
@hober: Lamb chili dog. Lamb chili on a lamb hot dog. At @TheLinkery. It was awesome. The sort of meal vegetarians go omnivorous for. Or should.
@hober: Heading to @TheRubyRoomSD with @kirinqueen to get our music on.
@hober: @TheRubyRoomSD has been overrun by zombie cowboys. Didn't get the relevant memo.
@hober: @danwho I just picked up some 9-9-9 there on the way home from @TheRubyRoomSD, actually. Servall rocks.
@hober: Confused by HTML5's new sectioning elements? Don't know when to use <section>, <article>, or <div>? Here's my explanation: http://tr.im/ywS7
@hober: SD bikers: the northwest passage from north/south park to Hillcrest has been found by @jlporter.
@hober: Hey @flash716, I was just telling @searocket all about @taphunter. You should add them!
@hober: R.I.P. Norman Borlaug. Probably the only human being who likely saved a billion lives. http://bit.ly/Kjqx1 (via @timbray)
@hober: @bradwill, @jlporter's NW passage: Lincoln W → S on alley btwn Florida & Georgia → W on sidewalk → S on Georgia St. bridge → W on Robinson.
@hober: Chilling at @stoutsd, boring @kirinqueen with a summary of today's public-html drama. Come out and save her from the madness!
@hober: @cssquirrel: aria-describedby="" takes an IDREF, not a URI. http://bit.ly/3iL8jO
@hober: Quick native English speaker poll: when someone says "$foo and their ilk," do you get the impression that the speaker doesn't like $foo?
@hober: @adactio: that's not so bad. Mine is "drone on, coward!"
@hober: @adactio: I think @kirinqueen's already got that one in the queue :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/hober/3831675855/
@hober: @adamend, I love that dirty water, oh! Boston you're my home!
@hober: @gabrielsaldana: I used to use pedals for C-, M-, and S-: http://bit.ly/1UnkSk #emacs
@hober: @gabrielsaldana pedals for C-, M-, and S- meant never having to chord with my hands, which was just what the doctor ordered at the time.
@hober: Surprised to find myself on the @ajaxian front page this morning.
@hober: @kevinthompson: Emacs, Firefox+Firebug, Terminal.app. I think that about sums it up.
@hober: Oh, YaST. I didn't miss you.
@hober: @repeatpenguin, nice! Can't wait to see them. #microformats
@hober: Happy New Year! We're partying like it's 5769.
@hober: @lxlightman yeah, @brkvw rules.
@hober: @Beckiburg The American Republic will endure until Comgress realizes it can bribe the people with their own money. - Alexander Fraser Tytler
@hober: At @churchills for @declan and @zenchaos' birthday extravaganza. Happy Birthday, mateys.
@hober: Bought @declan a bottle of Nøgne-Ø's Dark Horizon for his birthday. Holy Shit It's Good.
@hober: @Madrox I keep ADB<->USB converters around. I think you're doing just fine.
@hober: "Death or glory / Becomes another story!"
@hober: @kirinqueen: "if we got just two TV stations, one would have to be ESPN." Me: "and the other would be NESN?" @kirinqueen: "..."
@hober: @bradwill Happy Anniversary!
@hober: Checking out @smallbarsd with @kirinqueen. So far, so awesome. Congrats to Dennis et al.
@hober: Enjoying a BrewDog Zeitgeist in anticipation of visiting @LindsayDayton in Edinburgh.
@hober: Oh shit! Port Carlsbad's Cow Stout is in season again. Hark! the herald angels sing. It's on tap at @smallbarsd.
@hober: @joonspoon I'm sorry to discover we missed you at @churchills. Why not join us at @smallbarsd?
@hober: Thank you, Black Lie from Port—I love it when beer actually lives up to the hype. Srsly, this stuff is great.
@hober: @brucel I wrote some JS for that a while ago: http://edward.oconnor.cx/2007/03/ampersands
@hober: @brucel awwwwh, thanks.
@hober: @pseudowish, @rohitkhare has the Google Spreadsheet with the mailing addresses of everyone who paid for a shirt at #ufdevcamp
@hober: @sogrady: duly noted.
@hober: The TED conference gave rise to BIL, an awesome free alternative. Just so, TEDMED has prompted the community to organize @BILPIL: bilpil.com
@hober: San Diego friends: @BILPIL is happening right here, at SDSU's BioScience Center, the weekend of 30 October. #barcamp #barcampsd
@hober: @julianahatfield nice! My mom had a white one.
@hober: @dcurtis: sorry to have missed you!
@hober: @MissBellaHell: awesome. Did you see my Halloween costume from last year? http://www.flickr.com/photos/hober/2988568497/ #anathem
@hober: @bradneuberg well, the </sarcasm> end tag is already in there. Serously.
@hober: @kirinqueen: You should probably spell that "betes-fu," as "betes fu" looks like it might be the same as "FU betes"
@hober: Taking a break from @GreenFlashBeer's West Coast IPA to have a Guinness for Arthur's Day. At @TheRubyRoomSD; sad to be missing @stoutsd.
@hober: @MissBellaHell didn't see it, but I'm very fond of Rob Sawyer—he's the most Canadian SF author of the last 50 years.
@hober: learning about hieroglyphics the hard way.
@hober: Hitting El Zarape (the O.G. on Park) and @smallbarsd tonight with @kirinqueen et al.
@hober: Rocking one of my dad's old suits at the Lamppost Manor's Mad Men party.
@hober: @LindsayDayton ooooh, nice. Could you pick up some Nanny State too?
@hober: @Adora: Congratulations! :)
@hober: @kirinqueen: yay! Finally! Watch out, England, @kirinqueen is coming!
@hober: @krysaia: "But on the way in I stopped to type my PIN number into the ATM machine."
@hober: @dantecl look no further than <plaintext>
@hober: Sang NoFX's "Linoleum" at @TheRubyRoomSD's "Too Cool For Karaoke". Probably not in my vocal range, but it was fun anyway.
@hober: @Natim `color-theme-hober2' is much more extensive than my previous theme: http://bit.ly/qbSYv
@hober: @dacort: nice! Go to @redbones for dinner; you won't be disappointed.
@hober: @Surviving_Grady: couldn't agree more.
@hober: MS has made their long-promised distributed extensibility proposal, and boy is it underwhelming. http://tr.im/htmlns http://tr.im/issue41
