So…kayaking was AWESOME. Can't believe I haven't done that earlier. Perfect weather & surprisingly easy. A bit like bicycling, actually. #
ok, I'm out…off to enjoy sun & water with my coworkers! 🙂 #
@dylanw I'm on the fence abt women-only SIGs. Digital Eve was incredibly important to me coming up. (supporting women UR DOIN IT RITE.) in reply to dylanw #
@dylanw also, dries has always struck me as kind of a goober. #
@dylanw mostly because IME I've seen some really excellent women leaders (cf @lauras, @webchick @poplarware) in drupal. #
@dylanw I'm sitting this one out for the time being. not that I don't have strong opinions (obvs) but this is much ado abt not much IMHO. in reply to dylanw #

@bhenick someday I'd like to be someplace with a web team. :\ (10 yrs in mktg depts as "the web person") in reply to bhenick #
@bhenick will admit I know nada abt martial setting, just made me think of other teambldg I've been involved with. (rock band wii = awesome) in reply to bhenick #
@bhenick building camaraderie (etc) in a mixed group can be tricky IME. (am going kayaking w/my dept this aft, btw.) #100 introverted in reply to bhenick #
@RobertAHunter nah, people stuck in traffic are already having a bad day. I'm trying to not be a jerk. in reply to RobertAHunter #

@rshevlin I believe that would be @newrambler. (wow, the internet is a small place.) in reply to rshevlin #
@evanmeagher neat article! (I went to high school walking distance from (IIRC) the first TJ. omg giant blocks of chocolate.) in reply to evanmeagher #
@platoscave I wouldn't be surprised if @olybuzz's phone is on 1.5. (it's a G1, they're apparently hard to upgrade.) in reply to platoscave #
happy birthday to the "fashionably late" @cssquirrel! #

so confused. test site doesn't support clean urls. (long story) after restore, most pages go to (broken!) clean url version. wtf, #drupal #
