@OldCrank Roger that… we’ll start with “Helvetica”
There are eight stinky feet in this hotel room!
D1 is disappointed that “Life of Pi” is NOT about Ï€. To tell the truth, so am I.
I’ve managed to tune out the obnoxious banter at the next table… except for the word “like”, which makes up a huge %age of their speech.
Pro tip: check the weather for the city that you’re actually in, not for the city that was bookmarked in your browser!

@lawpower In fact, when I got my Sonicare (a gift from my awesome dentist), I felt like it was the Apple to Oral B’s Android.
@lawpower Tried both, I prefer Sonicare over Oral B.

Show of hands… who is surprised that those jackasses in Congress have not met their self-created budget deadline yet? Anyone? Beuller?
Up until after midnight… playing… dominoes??
Between crashes and unsolicited spammy “notifications”, Words With Friends and Draw Something are inching closer to the digital graveyard.
Long day, starting with “family IT work”, some last-minute shopping, family gathering/eating/gifts. And then Santa arrives later tonight.
@pinkster1076 Congratulations for finding “him” (but not me)! I’ve never been so lucky.

Instead of buying holiday cards this year, our family made a donation to Dorcas Ministries in Cary. @DorcasCary pic.twitter.com/pHD66wKU
I tried to say “Avada Kedavra”, but it came out more like “Hakuna Matata”.

@Mijito09rico Nice penguin-related name. See bottom photo on http://t.co/8OiaZLxR Beautiful.
@Mijito09rico I am just playing with you. My family loves CP… and Linux… and penguins.
@Mijito09rico Lo siento… no puedo hablar mucho en español. Gracias por twitter mention.
@Dscm777 Lo siento… no puedo hablar mucho en español. Gracias por twitter mention.
@moomoomax14 At home, silly… where are you?
First day of track-out!
New windshield wiper blades!
maddox Dear Apple,
Please ban every app that sends me local notifications to remind me to use their app.
Apple dev portal closes Fri, so I checked my #’s today. 104 people installed my free “Three Wishes” app in December. sentosa.us/apps/wishes/
Proud to be a Hufflepuff Dad… at the Q2 awards ceremony at Salem Middle school.

According to WWF, “PHT” is a word.
Took a day off from work. Set up the tree, started Christmas shopping. Note to marketers: STARTED xmas shopping on 12/17, not in October.
@tpope Do like my managers do… copy the bug reports into an Excel spreadsheet and email copies to everyone… <sigh>

Packing up my open source toys for show-n-tell at the @trilug holiday party tonight!
@oil999cp I am much more handsome than that… but thanks for the mention. :-)
Very auspicious date today, 12/12/12. Next time this happens is next year on the 13th of Feptober!
So proud of D1 and the “Blue Notes” chorus group. Great concert tonight.
Mixed metaphor of the day: I don’t have to out run the bear, just out run the low hanging fruit.
iPhone madness of the day: artists missing from music app || SOLUTION settings > music > group by album artist = OFF
shawnp0wers #DearSanta, please bring me an extra Tuesday for every week in 2013. Oh, and three Saturdays every weekend. :-)
. @laurenmyrtle Uh oh, I think I feel a spell of Post-Potter Depression coming.
Finished all 4100 pages of Harry Potter!

Our house just got noisy… D2 was just selected for the All County Chorus! Let the noise continue!
Talking science with D1… eventually led us to what-if.xkcd.com — now THAT’S education! #geekdad
@nfarina It does look f-ing great!
@alanjporter Or head to the airport… it’s currently 70°F and sunny at RDU.
@pwbrewer I understand what you mean, but not what you said. :-)
@nivex not sure what logs to check
Watching HTTP logs, just saw 8 login attempts on a WordPress site I host, all from different IPs, within a few seconds. Botnet?
Debugging. Can’t check @trilug IMAP mail from iPhone on my home network. OK via cell network or VPN. Claims name or pw is bad. DNS is OK.

I bet the picture of Erasmus on my Kindle screen saver wanders off to someone else’s Kindle when I’m not around. (I’ve been reading Potter.)
Nice day off… I took off a day from work and the kids had “early release”. Didn’t really DO anything, but tidied up the house & relaxed.
Taking apart a mechanical pedometer with the kids. Very clever design!
@andriajensen Doing Linux/web dev now, but long history of embedded/mobile/devices. My 2nd app hit the store this week. sentosa.us/apps/wishes/

Linux tip: “grep -o PATTERN” will print just the matching patterns, not the entire matching lines.
If I could travel in time, I would go back 15 years and tell twenty-something me to floss… for real… every day.
Like a scene from a movie… roach crawled into the printer, so I pressed COPY, he jumped out at me, I jumped back, finally squashed him.
@nivex Still freezing in my office!
My get-rich plan: sit back and watch people download my FREE app, collect those $0 royalty checks. Muah hah hah! sentosa.us/apps/wishes/
connerk I made my hobby my job. Why delegate fun to a background process when you can do it asynchronously on the main thread?
@444ppenguinCP yes, $99/year, registered as a corporation, trained on Stanford videos, preparing to develop apps professionally
@444ppenguinCP It’s probably not what you had in mind.
My app “Three Wishes for a Meaningful Life” is now available in the app store! sentosa.us/apps/wishes/
Spent ALL DAY working in my magical app-creation workshop. :-)
Envy the folks who got to go to #cocoaconf this week.
