Yowza! 95°F in May!
@koyuki_nyan I am not the rockhopper that you know, but ãŠã¯ã‚ˆã† to you!
Back yard camping on a warm almost-summer night.
Fishing in Asheboro.
Maybe it’s just me, but I could totally imagine “Beyond” by @Balligomingo as a James Bond title theme song.
Seen on powerpoint slides: “risks: aggressive schedule, mitigation: it’s the new normal!” #facepalm I think I need to “work smarter”.
IPv6 will allow each square millimeter of earth, including the oceans, to be assigned over 67 million addresses. Each. (via @Tekelec’s blog)
Hastily mowed the front lawn at 8:30pm, with daylight fading. It’ll be fun to see what a bad job I did after the sun comes up tomorrow.
MarsRovers Overnight, @NASA will send its final command to the Spirit Mars rover: http://bit.ly/l2oJbN What farewell message would you send?
Weird, I just heard my name mentioned in a podcast — and yes, it was me he was talking about!
[Me] kids, how bad do you need to go to the bathroom?
[D1] on a scale from 1 to 10? maybe 8
[D2] 9 and 1/8th!
@motersho I plan to give KDE a good shot. I loved KDE3 back in 2005… KDE4 is a bit different, but very customizable & keyboard-friendly.
After several years running gnome, I am test-driving KDE desktop. It took me only 10 minutes to crash it… d’oh!
My DSL line is now naked.
Please RT…
What it’s like to be a software engineer: “here’s a book, it’s in Chinese, I don’t have time to explain it, so just read it & rewrite ch 4”.
Family crisis averted - read HowStuffWorks.com, learned to clean blackberry stain from a very special (Hawaii) shirt using boiling water. ☺
@pwbrewer Short answer: the IPv6 web runs in parallel to the IPv4 web. Some content may differ. Longer answer: check your email.
Just noticed that I can ssh from my IPv4-only office to my IPv6-enabled @Linode and access the IPv6 web through the tunnel.
Yay, Endeavour!
Activity-packed walk home from Mex supper. Met some friends, talked to fishermen, climbed a tree, threw rocks, shared YP stories. Whew!
La Rancherita in Cary changed it’s name to El Fogon, and now it’s changed back to La Rancherita.
@GadgeTweets Hah! Message preview ended with “remove my wife…”
Doctoring up our Hawaii photos with “the Gimp” (open source image retouching and editing tool). I think I could get a job with the KGB!
Ice cream truck stopped & turned around in our driveway, kids ran out screaming & waving, and so he … blew them off and left?? Really??
Makin’ some mad beatz with Hydrogen drum kit. #opensource
Spent most of the day tinkering with IPv6. Learned a lot but now I have many more questions. Think I’ll attend the workshop at @splat_space!
Darn, McD’s in NC does not have taro pie. #hawaii
Score… my house is now IPv6-enabled! The future is here.
Note to self… IPv6 networking goes a lot smoother if you do NOT say “ipv6.disable=1” on the kernel boot line.
Requesting a block of IPv6 addresses for my @linode.
Hey @wunc, why is there no podcast for Back Porch Music?
RobertFischer Dance like nobody’s watching. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Develop software like the end user has your home address.
I swear, I think the clock actually turns backwards at this place sometimes.
@GadgeTweets headed to http://t.co/KDoPYEx this weekend?
Waking up with 10% Hawaiian coffee. Wait… 10% ??? Wonder what the other 90% is?!? http://t.co/ZGwWr9v
Wow, large attendance at the @TriLUG meeting… the pizza sure went fast!
dsearls #NorthCarolina getting f’d by phone and cable companies, with help from the Assembly: http://bit.ly/iBRZ78 #broadband #Internet
Lovely… MS “Enterprise Vault” decided that I don’t need any of those attachments from my old emails… so it stripped them.
“You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process.” http://xkcd.com/896/
@mindcrime Your “400 followers” celebration was short-lived. Now push-push-pushing for 500.
@mindcrime Wow, that celebration was short-lived.
On the plus side, the cafeteria at work still had some hot oatmeal… and blueberries and cinnamon and honey… <drool>
What a morning… got down the road a few miles and remembered something I needed from home… twice!
It’s one of those go-home-from-work-and-go-straight-to-bed kind of days. Zzzz.
RT @pxedust502: “Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.”
OH at $WORK: “They should fire IT first, then fire anyone who needs IT to get their computers to run!”
With Microsoft buying Skype, and Syria arresting Skype callers, now is the time for an open source end-to-end encrypted VOIP solution.

Can he swing from a web? No, he can’t, he’s a pig. Look out, he is the Spider Pig!
Ouch, the stoplight is EXACTLY lined up between my eyes and the sun… so I am assuming it’s red.
Someone kidnapped my children and replaced them with some hoity-toity speaking British kids.
New blog post by me, “Vacation in Hawaii” - http://blog.alanporter.c…
D1 and I spent most of the afternoon making lights blink on an Arduino. Very proud of her, she asked a lot of good questions.
Argh, shoelace got wrapped around the brake pedal in my car (still parked in the garage), and so I was stuck, tethered to my vehicle!
Got my ears lowered.
I managed to work a quote from “The Princess Bride” into a code review… so today = success.
Minivan in front of us, window down, kid blowing bubbles out the window - like rose petals spread for a king!
They asked for my mother’s maiden name… but I fooled ‘em… I gave them my uncle’s last name instead!
eronel Before I forget: May the Fourth be with you!
Looking forward to @Linode’s new IPv6 service, hoping they do the right thing, offer free/cheap 64-bit subnets.
D’oh, drained my iPhone battery dead. Left RunKeeper on, but not doing anything. GPS sucked it dry in 6 hrs.
