Getting a late start on this grey Monday. – at Fresh Pot http://shz.me/6Zp #
@demew Awesome new avatar! in reply to demew #
It was lovely to have the warm weather for the 4th, but these mosquito bites from Saturday night are driving me nuts. #
@yuetsu I liked Rent quite a bit. in reply to yuetsu #
Productive afternoon implementing some client design changes. Now off to swim lesson number 2 with @pdxyogini. #
@Danielwfisher Thanks! I’m the student. I made a vow to learn how to swim before I turn 30. Plus, we’re going to Hawaii in August. ;) in reply to Danielwfisher #
Swim lesson no. 2 went very well. I actually had fun in the water! #
Ugh, more Rackspace issues. #
“Walls Come Tumbling Down” – great presentation on web design from @malarkey: http://bit.ly/QQvSa #
Lots of coding done today. Now off to bed. Appointment with allergy clinic first thing in the AM. #
Appointment with allergist done. MBP software updates complete (including 2 firmware updates). Now code. #
Heading home. Gentleman at bus stop asking me for a hug said I looked 18. Hah! #
Thinking it’s about time to upgrade the HDD on my MBP. 160GB is just too cramped. #
$18 Mil contract awarded to closed-source DoD contractor Smartronix for the redesign of recovery.gov. http://bit.ly/1DbBfO #
Great pick there, GSA, because a closed-source military provider just screams transparency. Argh. #
And just to reinforce my point, Smartronix has a twitter account, yet it’s protected. #
@thesethings Yeah, I imagine there were similar road blocks for the recovery.gov RFP process. in reply to thesethings #
Accidentally nuked my Win XP / IE6 virtual machine. Oh well, it’s getting ridiculous to test for IE6 anyway. #
@timm3h Ah, cool, thanks for the tip! Do you find it works pretty well? in reply to timm3h #
@kmcdade nooooo!!! step away from the hotmail… ;) in reply to kmcdade #
Ribbit! – at Fresh Pot http://shz.me/6bb #
Seeing if I can edit remote files with TextMate and ExpanDrive. #
RT @cjoh: Sunlight Labs’ take on the $9MM Recovery.gov contract: http://bit.ly/WZJCx #
@hylaweb I never did feel the bbedit love. Interarchy I tried and can’t remember why I didn’t go with it. Glad it works for you! in reply to hylaweb #
@jslabovitz Awesome. @pdxyogini and I are going to see Son Volt when they’re in town this month. Have a great time at OCF! in reply to jslabovitz #
@brampitoyo There’s an InDesign user group? Cool! in reply to brampitoyo #
So tired of coughing. Medicine work faster! #
Learning how to write plugins for WordPress. #
@georgeMandis Nothing exciting (yet). Just following along with examples from the Packt book on WP Plugin development. in reply to georgeMandis #
@ebookout I’ve had days like that. I also often leave the price tags on my clothing, which amuses @pdxyogini to no end. in reply to ebookout #
@jarvitron I agree with @mediaChick, your bald head is damn sexy. in reply to jarvitron #
On today’s docket: couple of meetings, coding, and perhaps beer n blog? #
Having a late lunch. – at Red & Black Cafe http://shz.me/6ck #
Heading to the Green Dragon for BnB early shift. #
Work, then Beer n Blog – at Green Dragon Bistro & Brewpub http://shz.me/6cn #
I keep trying to type “bear” and blog, which is something else entirely. #
@selenamarie Wishing you a safe and pleasant journey home! in reply to selenamarie #
More info (including statement of work) on the recovery.gov bid: http://bit.ly/p6XzH #
@reidab Would totally be interested in a politics-meets-tech (un)conference. in reply to reidab #
Got to sleep in. Wow, I feel so much better today. What a relief. #
Reconfiguring my local dev environment from using MAMP via OS X to using an Ubuntu virtual machine running in headless mode. #
One kitty on my lap purring like crazy. One on chair across from me snoring (yes, cats snore!). Loving this quiet Saturday at home. #
Slept in again, ahh! Chai is brewing, cereal cooking. Goal today is to clean up my home office so it’s usable again. #
@shiflett I use gandi.net for domain registration. Good terms, DNS is included. in reply to shiflett #
