    @funkatron Normally I don't, just to keep history intact.
  3. I just bought the paid version of Words with Friends. It's that awesome.
  4. I discovered today that github now allows custom domains for free accounts.
  5. I don't thinks it was always like this, right? Used to be for paid accts only. But I'm not complaining, it's an awesome feature.
  6. Migrated my static web pages from github+GAE+drydrop to just @github. Much easier and faster. I love github.

  12. Really should go to sleep now.
  13. Finished moving one of my projects from SF ( http://grabcartoons.sf.net/ ) to github ( http://zzamboni.org/grabcartoons/ ). Wheee!
  14. Now I just need to update the old page to point to the new one. Will need to go hunting in the SF docs for how to do that.
  15. @jmechner I used to play Karateka for hours on end in my C64. Thanks for the game! It's one of my favorites of all time.

  22. …in reply to @leune
    @leune But of course, your kid will _also_ be pumped full of sugar... ;-)

  30. Emulate vi's % command (jump to matching parenthesis) in Emacs http://post.ly/sWQn
  31. "There's a LaTeX package for that". Case in point: dirtree http://bit.ly/9dstlw very useful.

    @TheRealSpaf Have you tried @1Password? Very very nice pw management system.
  36. …in reply to @TheRealSpaf
    @TheRealSpaf I currently use @LastPass (on Win), which has the advantage of being multiplatform, but 1P, being Mac-specific, has nicer UI
  37. When I start to see Europe wake up on Twitter, it means it's too late here. Good night.
  38. Learning about gitolite http://bit.ly/9vIsCk from Pro Git http://bit.ly/bYIZqI. Looks very nice, very powerful.

  52. …in reply to @Documentally
    @Documentally It's called YouTube. I can find pretty much every show I watched as a kid (even in Mexico) there. And I do show my kids.

  54. @nico_charles @smerril You can also compile cfengine under Windows. You lose some advanced Win features, but it works: http://post.ly/tEvF
  55. Enough cfengine tinkering for one night. School starts tomorrow, must wake up early to take the girls to school.
  56. @posterous' magic handling of gist URLs is very nice, an easy way to include code in a post. It'd be great if it could autopost code to gist
  57. …in reply to @undefined
    @doctorlinguist Do any of your patients follow you on Twitter? I'm just wondering how "honest commentary" like you do would go with them
  58. I wish my doctors were this geeky :-) RT @doctorlinguist: updating a MacPorts Portfile between patients is a little bit stressful.
  59. I'd been using Seesmic for Windows, switched to TweetDeck yesterday. So far I'm liking it better.
  60. RT @SecurityHumor: While MITM (Man in the Middle) exploits may be subtle, IAEE (Idiot At Either End) attacks can be far more satisfying.
  61. Just noticed that TweetDeck has support for LinkedIn - maybe now I'll keep my LI status updated more often.
  62. …in reply to @stevelodin
    @stevelodin Of course not. But currently I *never* update my LI status.
  63. …in reply to @Scobleizer

  67. …in reply to @wimremes
    @wimremes I like TweetDeck better than Seesmic Desktop so far. I like that tweets in users' profiles are "first class" (you can reply, etc.)
  68. …in reply to @dinodaizovi
    @dinodaizovi It's always fun to see old vulnerabilities are still alive. Sometimes it seems we have not learned anything in 20 years.

    @mckeay When I see any Office programs in a resume, I'm thinking "doesn't have anything better to put there", loses points immediately
  91. #lazytweet If I sync a new iPhone with iTunes, will it automatically transfer settings/music/apps from my iPod Touch? Thanks.
  92. With any luck, I'll have a new iPhone 4 tomorrow :-)
