25 years ago, we went on a date. Today, we share a home and a family. Thanks to my wonderful wife for sticking with me (and for the cake).
Through the looking glass — using a Mac to access my Linux box and a Windows VM running inside it.
D2 is her own biggest fan. D1 is her own biggest critic.
Great job, D2 and the rest of the Wake All-County Elementary School Chorus!

@pwbrewer One whose runtime environment will actually install on my PC. Just sayin’.
When I search Twitter for a person, I get news articles about them. Really? Why? If I wanted news, I would’ve used a real search engine.
Java — it’s just not worth the hassle.
Economy must be picking up… recruiters are starting to get more aggressive (obnoxious).
Bummer, yesterday was a “0-downloads” day for my (free) iPhone app, Three Wishes for a Meaningful Life. sentosa.us/apps/wishes/
. @climagic My favorite bash history trick: export HISTTIMEFORMAT=’%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ’ prints date/time of each entry.
Baklava, or Balaclava? It *is* chilly out… but so yummy…
@doctorow We’re happy that you braved the lousy weather to come visit us!
@ginatrapani Bummer. I wish it could be cross-platform, but I have to focus on 1 or the other. (Virtual walkthru at http://t.co/WyJDswoo)
@emmarockin Don’t set goals for things that others must do… get noticed by ____, have a boyfriend, get asked out, etc. Set goals for YOU.
Now, the big question is whether @adafruit is Le-MORR or LEE-more… or other?

@ginatrapani Curious if you tried the “Three Wishes for a Meaningful Life” (16 Guidelines) iPhone app. I wrote it for a Buddhist friend.

@ChuckWendig That’s romance in my book!
The Cheshire moon grins through a ghostly haze of clouds.
I don’t understand the argument that early returns make a function harder to read. To me, it’s quite the opposite.
Dual monitors - filling out tax return on one, watching #SOTU on the other - puts it all in perspective.
@andriajensen Forget commercial greeting cards… buy blank stationery cards and make your own message.
@danlondon Hard to offer a “best”, since I use only one: keepass. http://t.co/IsopGioz
@coxn I was taught that it means “sick” or “ill”. Example usage: wo bing le = I was sick.

Myrmecos How would writers feel if I scraped their prose just to have some text under my blog photos? Yet the converse happens ALL THE TIME.
People in my office like to send out emails telling us they’re stepping out for 30 minutes & later another one saying “back to business”.

@ChuckWendig Enjoy your blog. Read your 2/6 pirating post. Decided to pick a book (Blackbirds), buy it sight unseen. Next on my read queue.

Ni!
@bundacia yes, but staff moves books from bot to shelf. my “meh” gadgets were in the meeting areas: music rooms, tablets, video walls, etc
Coming up: @CarolinaCon is early, March 15-17 at the North Raleigh Hilton.
Self-guided tour of new Hunt Library at NCSU. Impressed with the meeting & co-working areas, but “meh” on the gadget-mania.
@jbroome I’m never sure whether to be impressed or disgusted at your particular brand of street knowledge.
What kind of moron decided that our main build servers should not have man pages installed?
I suggested he attach a note saying “please drink all of this juice - or none of it - but not one sip”.
Gross… co-worker says someone is taking his juice drink bottles from the fridge, taking a single sip, and putting them back.
Just stumbled across “Guided Access” on iOS. Lots of fantastic legitimate uses for this… but also could be fun for pranks at the office!
I always chuckle when I see someone drinking bottled water, careful not to touch the bottle to their lips.
_Snape_ Congrats to Ravenclaw for winning the Super Bowl.
D1 was just eaten by a grue. I am so proud.
A tradition — audience chatters away while performers dance and sing at the CAFA Chinese New Year celebration. <sigh>
