@kegill oh, the Atom/RSS wars! (for your communities page: I gather there's a big chunk of LiveJournal that's gone to Dreamwidth.) in reply to kegill #

@bhenick I'm feeling rather like the old lady in our new D&D group. (at 36! WTF?) playing til 10, then trying to settle down wipes me out. in reply to bhenick #
@morrischris well, *sorta* easy – I got held up for an annoyingly long time because it rejects business names w/ "branch" included. :\ in reply to morrischris #

@sarahnopp sleep & fluids! (also: bad tv!) hope you feel better soon. in reply to sarahnopp #
now I'm missing Dori & Don. ::sigh:: #
true story: bday card from asst included markup. I said some other markup might've been more semantic. she said: I knew you'd say that. #
. @brucel on the plus side, the 2 former students who were (not concurrently) my assistants were hella smart and picked it up quickly. #
. @brucel I used to work at a community college (2000-2006) and student employees were generally clueless about web standards. #
pointless coincidence of the day: Zuckerberg's dad is a dentist with the nickname "Dr. Z." So was a friend's ex-father-in-law. (no relation) #
& the only voicemail: reminder that my bday was logo shirt day. (glad to have missed that, honestly.) yay for vacation on a holiday week. #
@einmaleins awake (allegedly) and working! Inbox 0 FTW! in reply to einmaleins #
::cries:: RT @morrischris: This Dilbert comic is illustrative of what happens w/social media at so many orgs! http://ow.ly/2DsUX #
back to work. a gloomy ride, but surprisingly warm. 108 emails in my inbox, down to 7 already. #
🙁 RT @jbertrand: The agency lost an employee this weekend in a car crash. She wasn't wearing her seat belt #reasonstomourn #

@fakebaldur yr review of the kindle3 really piqued my interest…and then I remembered about the library. :\ in reply to fakebaldur #
1) I don't have a lot of shelf space at the moment. 2) I'm not going to buy something I'm not sure about. 3) I'm horribly cheap. #
until all the vendors get library borrowing working, I have NO interest in any ebook. I've read abt 90 books in the last year. bought none. #
@RobRichards open office can occasionally be awkward, but if your use of MSOffice is not that complex, it's an easy switch. in reply to RobRichards #
@mooshymama @TurtleNorthwest @poptopvw my friend Larissa is one of their roasters! #
@emmettoconnell yes! it's weird. having picked twitter handles for 2 orgs w long names, it can be damn tricky. I wouldn't have gone w/that. in reply to emmettoconnell #
and yes, I biked. that is what I own rain gear for, after all. #
rain felt pretty good, actually; cleaning everything out. although: rain + kinda dark? I guess fall really is just about here. #

@olyhillary @einmaleins never been much for ext. warranty, but applecare was totally worth it. (HD replaced <1yr, DVD just before expired) in reply to olyhillary #
