Big “How How” to all the dads and kids who braved the cruddy weather at Camp Seafarer! They’re some real troupers! cc @ArapahoeNation
Ferry cut off the line right before us… we get the pole position on the next one!
Thursday is the new Friday.
@mborgen FYI, my volume was on 100% before I clicked on this link… ouch.

How How! Looks like rain and thunderstorms are coming to Camp Seagull & Seafarer this weekend! @ArapahoeNation
Whew, busy day: fixed a major telephone company’s outage, and then fixed co-worker’s iTunes collection.
.@WCPSS waited until TODAY to change Friday to a full school day & cancel Saturday make-up. We’ll just change our plans to suit their whims!
I have two daughters, so I can pretty much divide my laundry into “pink” and “everything else”.
@LeafStorm @adafruit The raspi will replace the arduino/server combo, msg me when door opens or left open late - http://t.co/Mm53RJ9uJb
BTW, the fan makes a huge difference in soldering, blows the smoke away!

Text alert tones in iOS 7.1 are suddenly very quiet (quieter than the vibrator motor, even at full volume). Reboot fixes it for a while. 5s
We submitted our two entries for the Google Doodle contest — “If I Could Invent One Thing to Make the World a Better Place…â€
@Namecheap That’s not what disappoints me… it’s the lack of DNSSEC, and slow execution. But still rooting for you!
@NPRinskeep I hope you know that you have the right to decline a search. Politely decline. Ask if you are free to go. #USA
Single snowflake spotted in Wake County, @WCPSS cancels after-school activities. [AIR RAID SIREN SOUND]
@Namecheap This twitter exchange disappoints me. I am not ready to deploy DNSSEC yet, but I want to be working with players that “get it”.

@levarburton @WilliamShatner Earthquake is no biggie for the Star Trek cast, well rehearsed at staying upright on a moving bridge.
Even my breakfast is green this morning — lime yogurt.
Snowflakes in Morrisville on St Patrick’s Day.
Happy equilux!
We have a winner! D1 took 2nd place in the Wake County spelling bee.

Hanging out at the Wake County Spelling Bee, which is about as exciting as it sounds.
Frustrated that most “complimentary wifi” spots are actually just “complimentary HTTP over TCP port 80 only” spots.
All day, I have been doing informal tech support for all of the Luddites at my office. Not really my job, but hey, everything’s my job.
Any day now, I expect them to find an evil villain with a floating volcano island in the South China Sea.
I can’t believe that paper checks are still a thing.

The fine folks at @MarketplaceAPM (featuring @kairyssdal) sure do come up with some funky intermission music between stories!
I just finished reading “Practical Vim” by @nelstrom, 300 pages of text editor badassitude over 4 months. My vimrc > github.com/sudoer/dotfiles
@nelstrom good news: I made it to p290 in practical vim | bad news: typo in tip 119, “plugin on” is missing “filetype” ???
Question for the hive of knowledge: what are these orange things on school bus wheels? pic.twitter.com/V2S5bTxdOy
I was asked to bring a lock pick set into work today.
I just learned a lot about IPv6 and networking in general by setting up a VPN that provides IPv6. Many wrong turns = good lessons!
Tinikling? You betcha!
Mosh (mobile shell) seems like a great idea. But every network I tried blocks too many ports for it to be useful. mosh.mit.edu
It’s official. I’m in customer support, on-call and everything. I must have pissed off somebody.
I can never remember the shell commands to start/pause/stop a virtualbox VM. I made shell aliases that print & then run the right commands.
Let me see if I got this straight… they canceled school yesterday because of ice on the roads, and right now it’s a beautiful 61°F.#ncwxx

Very proud of D2 and the other Scrabble competitors from @SalemElementary. We didn’t take home any prizes, but we played in the big leagues!
Pizza time… where’s my protractor?
D2 is cramming for tomorrow’s Scrabble tournament.
Gag! Somebody just burned a bag of popcorn in the office pantry (again). Had to send in the haz-mat team to seal the charred mess in a bag.
And out of necessity, I learned how to start a DHCP server on my Mac. That’s always handy.
My toys from @adafruit arrived! Soldered the RasPi LCD board, made it blink. Got wifi working.
Went to @unmarkit web site, wanted to read it later, tried to save link via @instapaper, but it hung. Coincidence?
Not sure if I am “high strung” or “wound tight” or just “fully engaged”.
Now that I display tweets on an LED sign my office, I need to either (1) stop following potty mouths or (2) tell my kids to ignore the junk.

Colleague is at a conference in San Antonio, plans to visit the Alamo. I told him to make sure he sees the basement. #peewee
I think with all the CPU time I have given to @SpiderOak, they could have found a SETI by now, or at least mined a few bitcoins.
Made three copies of a “Hidden Pictures” puzzle from Highlights magazine, then challenged the girls to a race.
@emmarockin Are they dead or still flapping? Does he expect you to keep them? As pets? He sounds like some kind of weird entomologist.
Just read the @thoughtbot slides comparing Ruby & Haskell. The code blocks for both looked like gibberish to me. Guess I missed the point.
@pwbrewer (1) @SpiderOak (2) @Sync.com (3) @ownCloud (#3 is not encrypted, but it’s on my own server).
Saying goodbye to @Dropbox because they are not encrypted on the server side. It’s 2014… they should use “zero knowledge” encryption.
Hey @NewarkMRO, how about an “estimate shipping” button on your web site? Oh wait, you don’t do Twitter either.
Sharing a few headphones-only jams with the kids.
For all of Apple’s UX mojo, iTunes sure is brain dead. Turn on “Home Sharing” in the File menu, but “sharing” is in Preferences. Huh?
Rigged up a 15-year-old scrolling LED sign to show tweets and other nonsense in my home office. #hack
