@spaceninja @joaquinlippinco only checked it out of the library IIRC. wish I still had http://t.co/MqR3qUa (loaned to an intern.) LOVED it. in reply to spaceninja #
@spaceninja @joaquinlippinco "Creating Killer Web Sites earned the top seller position of 1996 at Amazon.com." Whoa. (read it in '98.) in reply to spaceninja #
@emmettoconnell the typewriter looks like what I used in HS: my grandpa's, so old I had to reink ribbon by hand. keys took a LOT of effort! in reply to emmettoconnell #

@librarienne I've already got grumpy. :\ in reply to librarienne #
I feel like somebody punched my brain in the face. just dead tired. and stuffy. #wtfSinuses #
@emmettoconnell @oakwright found this for looking at city boundaries – http://t.co/eODDhML – click on city name. Some very odd shapes. in reply to emmettoconnell #
@Oakwright @mcclearysarah I know that spot, for a while when I was vanpooling met @ Top. Drivers treat it like hwy. (is it lacey or cty?) in reply to Oakwright #
@alixito awwwww. y'all are cute. 🙂 in reply to alixito #
@Oakwright well, a lot of that (>1/2) is commuting. only 2 work days last month I *didn't* bike. in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright May: 172, June: 197, July: 251 (holy cow) – if we get nice weather (finally!) wondering if I can hit 300mi in August. in reply to Oakwright #

looking at weatherspark graphs…only 11 days in all of July at or above the average, and it's been colder than average pretty much all yr. #

@alisonandersox Twin Peaks is actually a big part of why I moved here in '92. (really, if only because OMG TEH TREES.) in reply to alisonandersox #

@libbabray massive ddos attack. Think I saw (may have rt'd) article from time mag abt it. One of the few havens of free speech in russia. in reply to libbabray #

Bonus button: I did voter registration for this campaign when I was 13. http://moby.to/wps6xx #
No on Prop 13 (CA) button found in parents' garage when I was a teenager. For @kegill http://moby.to/3omco4 #
@kegill that's what I thought! Digging thru keepsake boxes, so far no luck. 🙁 in reply to kegill #
@mattmay @kegill someplace around here I have a prop 13 campaign button found in parents' garage. Pretty sure it's "no" but not 100% sure. in reply to mattmay #

@dylanw congratulations! in reply to dylanw #
@alixito that's why I LOVE bike commuting. I'm going to be losing that time anyway (bus is abt same time) and I get exercise! in reply to alixito #
@gpasley FWIW, the ATM in the building where I work dispenses ones. which is both awesome and EEEEVIL. (damn vending machine.) in reply to gpasley #
@gpasley probably easier (from a programmer POV to just have one function for entering amounts) – but yes, kinda silly. in reply to gpasley #
@gpasley transfers? in reply to gpasley #
@shelleypowers and presumably continue in that role with WHATWG? hm. I'm not sure if I can see how this ends well. in reply to shelleypowers #
so…'font[COLOR=BRICK]:first' doesn't work but 'font:contains("String")' does? wtf? #jquery #ie #diediedie #whydidn'tIknowabtcontainsbefore #
oh, well *that's* a showstopper. #vaguetweet #ieneedstodieinafire #
@Oakwright from some experience, that first one would be a little difficult to bike in. kilt+leggings (or whatever) is a good call, tho. in reply to Oakwright #

@Oakwright I think utilikilt hq is in seattle. 🙂 in reply to Oakwright #
On the #xtracycle obvs. #
There really is nothing quite like careening down State St (ave?) At 20+mph…in a skirt. 🙂 #
@rogue_3 iirc, there were good stats abt that from yahoo…will look later. in reply to rogue_3 #
@andrea I know, right? What's wrong with "jerk"? in reply to andrea #
@Oakwright thank you for providing today's NerdLOL. in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright or a server. "I'll bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' you!" in reply to Oakwright #
arrggggh. tired. distracted. frustrated. probably shouldn't be on twitter while trying to do 4 other things. #vaguetweet #multitaskingIsHard #
@dylanw try Lowes. the one by my office still has quite a bit in stock. (YMMV, of course.) in reply to dylanw #
@rshevlin ::thinking about what I see on the bike trail:: yes, I'm pretty sure there's a law. in reply to rshevlin #
@simonstl @kdrum never joked abt liebeck case after that. in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl @kdrum IIRC, worked w/guy ~10 yrs ago who'd been burned by McD's coffee some yrs earlier, quite seriously (legs), wished he'd sued in reply to simonstl #
@RobRichards @einmaleins @rogue_3 by which I mean to say that sometimes u want conversation, sometimes u just want the answer to a question. in reply to RobRichards #
@RobRichards @einmaleins @rogue_3 it's a floor wax AND a dessert topping. in reply to RobRichards #
@marypcbuk http://t.co/lo936Ki – line 7 – "var isChrome = navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Chrome/') != -1 && window.chrome;" in reply to marypcbuk #
@marypcbuk it looks like Chrome adds a "chrome" property to the window object, probably to defeat UA switching. in reply to marypcbuk #
@myerman @simonstl actually, they sound more like ninjas. super-intelligent, "NOT ZOMBIES" 🙂 & recursive badger gun is recursively awesome. in reply to myerman #

@Oakwright no, not THAC0! that was the #1 thing that I was most excited about in 3rd edition: the end of THAC0. in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright Second edition! /shakes cane to kids to get off the lawn in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright quite the opposite. (public game; it was a hilarious experience; a prof recommended they try D&D for acting-type practice.) in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright @olybuzz funny u shd mention that. once played w/2 law students. (one wanted to play a lizardman. the joke writes itself.) in reply to Oakwright #
@Oakwright @olybuzz 🙁 in reply to Oakwright #
@rogue_3 fwiw, compendium is newer so should be "correct." and to be honest, it hasn't been a huge problem in play. just annoying. in reply to rogue_3 #
@rogue_3 @olybuzz The f'd-up thing, as far as I can see, is that 4e is chock-full of "errata" which makes for odd diffs between texts. in reply to rogue_3 #
@rogue_3 @olybuzz IMHO: Rules Compendium is how to play, doesn't include how to create a character. (FWIW, been playing w/out PHB.) in reply to rogue_3 #
@rogue_3 @olybuzz I'll have to track down the alignments chart from either 1e or Basic. It's AWESOME. #embraceTheWeird in reply to rogue_3 #
@rogue_3 I'm leaning towards OSRIC if I DM, tho I haven't used yet. seems to hit balance between "classic" & D20. (most of my exp is w/D20) in reply to rogue_3 #
@rogue_3 we've talked extensively (!!!!) about hybrid rules, since we have materials going all the way back to basic. in reply to rogue_3 #
@rogue_3 he hasn't yet played 4; last time game together was 3.5/d20. I'm in a 4e game with some other folks (not on twitter far as I know) in reply to rogue_3 #
@rogue_3 damn. (one time I did a vanity google search & found JPL press releases from 1987. http://t.co/oQsW28o & http://t.co/c9SIo79) in reply to rogue_3 #
fun word I learned today: Ultracrepidarianism: "habit of giving opinions/advice on matters outside of one's knowledge" http://t.co/8razmGk #
@godlessgirl …spot on application for "name of yr pastor" (IIRC) made me O.o but then read more about them: yep, religious charity. in reply to godlessgirl #
@godlessgirl tricky when u don't realize it's a religious org. once thought abt applying for job at a charity that I hadn't realized was… in reply to godlessgirl #
@godlessgirl *explicitly* religious orgs? (ie, church secretary) bugs me on a visceral level, but makes sense logically. in reply to godlessgirl #
BTW, @skud is still taking that survey of people who've had g+ accounts suspended: http://t.co/UYK72CC #

@kitchenmage @EssEppis except for my sister. was picky/fussy eater EVERYWHERE. (still is.) in reply to kitchenmage #
@kitchenmage some of them are engaging (I like #3 , but there's a lot of appalling chart junk, as well as apps vs labels. in reply to kitchenmage #
@mhemlock http://t.co/fz9LMeR "Norwegian law […] provides for longer sentencing, it just does so differently than in the US." via @kegill in reply to mhemlock #
@simonstl @bhenick "it wasn't broken, so we let it run until it died." sometimes I resemble that remark…always feel embarrassed abt it. 🙁 in reply to simonstl #
