Listening to @pdxyogini explain "queer" to my mother (over the phone). #
@wchogg Mostly awesome, I think, with a touch of hilarity (e.g. explaining that queer was not just a Portland term). in reply to wchogg #
Really unimpressed with "PHP: The Good Parts", so much so I'm tempted to write my first Amazon review to save others from wasting their $$. #
"Dive in to HTML5," however, is fantastic. And you can read it online for free: http://bit.ly/64xe9 #
Nice! RT @rmurphey: Announcing the initial release of my open-source #jQuery training material http://bit.ly/ds1PWt #

Very handy wiki page from Apache – "Common Apache Misconfigurations" http://bit.ly/cmUGWo #
@ichilton A handful. What subjects are you looking for? in reply to ichilton #
@datachick Yeah, that's pretty shocking. Makes me think about the reviews differently, for sure. in reply to datachick #

We're seeing the @RoseCityRoller championship tonite. Anyone know if we can get vegan fare at the Expo Center? #
Best vegan sushi ever and it came from a cart. I <3 Portland! #

Ride in to work this morning felt great. First time in three months (having a parking permit has made me very lazy). #

Two more @osbridge errands and then hopefully some yard word, weather permitting. #
I'm sorta tired of these "partly cloudy" forecasts turning in to "X chance of rain." #
@built I just added them to the wiki: http://is.gd/cvVoA in reply to built #
@built Welcome! @natronics deserves the thank yous, really. He did an awesome job creating the maps! in reply to built #
Realizing I haven't logged in to Facebook in at least a week and I'm not really missing it. #
I have this fantasy where Splendid Table turns vegan and starts talking about food that is actually good for us. #
Getting ready to head to the Portland Art Museum to setup for @osbridge. #
Trying not to stress about our cat Oberon who appears to have a UTI. #
Investigating whether or not the latest Ubuntu has solved the Broadcomm wireless NIC issues on this old Dell of mine. #
Using two Apple Airports to get the correct wifi drivers for Ubuntu on this dell. Somehow that seems silly, but it is working. #
Anyone been able to get a Broadcom 4309 wireless nic working under Ubuntu? I'm outta ideas. #
@demew This Dell is about 7+ years old (9100). Ubuntu drives didn't work, now trying to find the Windows drivers for use with ndiswrapper. in reply to demew #
@maxticket Heard you want to volunteer for @osbridge! Check out http://bit.ly/cV4c61 to see our open positions. #
@maxticket Complete info here: http://is.gd/cys2T. in reply to maxticket #

Finally attending a session (node.js and you in Morrison). #osbridge #osb2010-0306 #
Glad to be in a session finally, but sitting still is making me realize how tired I actually am. #
@maxticket Welcome! I look forward to meeting you tomorrow. in reply to maxticket #
@janeforshort Oh, that was you I was sharing a table with during lunch in the hacker lounge. Nice to meet you! #
Want to get your @Guayaki on at #osbridge You can pick up Enlighten Mint natural energy drink from the volunteer lounge. #hackerlounge #
@maxticket No, not much prep work for the hacker lounge. Come 10 minutes or so early to pick up your badge and check in at volunteer lounge. in reply to maxticket #

@maxticket yes, have your friend come on down! in reply to maxticket #
Came home to realize @PDXyogini and I are completely locked out of the house. Anyone know a good 24hr locksmith? #
And of course we have a house guest staying with us who's in town for @osbridge. #
Thanks everyone for the retweets! We got a hold of a locksmith and they are en route. #
On a side note: I'm thinking it's justifiable to pee in the back yard under these circumstances. #
@rasmus Welcome back to PDX! Looking forward to seeing you at @osbridge tomorrow. in reply to rasmus #
And we're in! Mad props to @PDXyogini who figured out how to get in the house when the locksmith couldn't. #
@RacheleGonzales Did I forget to tell you when your shift was? Sorry! ;( We're covered for the time being, so just get here when you can. in reply to RacheleGonzales #

@wchogg It's pay what you want/can today, so come check it out if you have time. in reply to wchogg #
Two doughnuts, three cups of coffee and unconference excitement seems to be overpowering my fatigue. #osbridge #

@CarriBugbee About 12 actually (& there were at least 3x that number of women attendees). #osbridge has a better ratio than other confs. in reply to CarriBugbee #
@spinnerin I think I might have one, come find me and we'll check it. in reply to spinnerin #
@CarriBugbee Yeah, most of the women at Chirp were non-technical Twitter employees. in reply to CarriBugbee #
CatCamp at #osbridge unconference rocked, now learning about agile trolling methodologies. #
Soliciting feedback at the conference wrap up. #osbridge #
And it's a wrap! Home from @osbridge. So many thanks to my fellow organizers and the many volunteers who made it happen. You fucking rock! #
And now I plan to do nothing for at least 48 consecutive hours. #
Ahhh…nothing like sleeping in after a week of being short on sleep. #

Hm. Perhaps trying to fix the clogged bathroom sink at 11pm wasn't such a good idea. #
Plumbing is filthy, filthy work. Eww. #
Whoa, way overslept (must have turned the alarm off) after last night's plumbing troubles. Scrambling to get to work now. #
Just found a foreach($model as $babe) {} block in the CodeIgniter core. Really? #
@wwjimd No, we're going to process the volunteer registrations all at once this weekend or thereabouts. Stay tuned. in reply to wwjimd #
@wwjimd hehe, actually I will send you a code later tonight in reply to wwjimd #
@wwjimd You should now have a complimentary ticket code. If not, let me know. in reply to wwjimd #
Spent a good hour trying to snake the bathroom drain. Looks like it's time to call in the professionals. #
@abraham Was good meeting you at Chirp last month. Think you'll be able to come down to Portland for @osbridge? #
@wwjimd I know! It's definitely the most disgusting home repair I've attempted thus far. Was really hoping I could unclog it myself…alas. in reply to wwjimd #
@wwjimd My partner (@PDXyogini) and I sit with the Zen Community of Oregon. in reply to wwjimd #
Trying to catch up on email before I go to bed, but fading fast. Can't believe there are only six days until @osbridge. #
@abraham ah, bummer! (not for the family vacation of course perhaps we'll see you next year… in reply to abraham #
Woot, my copy of the remaster/reissued The Cure's Distintegration has shipped! #

@imagetic Thanks for volunteering for @osbridge! I look forward to meeting you at the conference. #
@tekniklr Congrats! in reply to tekniklr #
@spinnerin Good recap from yesterday's PDC mtg, thanks for posting. Suggestion: add a link to the Civic Engagement BoF at @osbridge. #
So far one of the best things about switching back to Linux from OSX has been focus follows mouse. A small, but loved feature for me. #
@JohnMetta FYI, we've arrange some discounts on hotels for @osbridge, see the wiki: http://bit.ly/czBTvh in reply to JohnMetta #
@wwjimd Oh cool. If you haven't already seen it, the NW Dharma Association has a pretty good directory: http://www.northwestdharma.org/ in reply to wwjimd #
@tekniklr Could be a last thursday (art walk) or from construction (pdx is pretty torn up right now with road work). in reply to tekniklr #
First evening this week at home. That means missing both the civic apps meetup & the hackathon, but I really needed a break. #
I've lived in Portland nearly three years, yet I'm not quite used to these glorious 9pm sunsets. #
Took me a while to realize SATC2 refers to a movie and not to a standardized test that school children take at the end of the year. #
Happy to hear that the House has voted to repeal DADT. #
@spinnerin I hear you re: meeting overload. I couldn't make myself venture out last night. in reply to spinnerin #

Two errands down. Now at @sweetpeabaking for wedding cake tasting. #
Wedding cake and cupcakes ordered. Taxes filed (finally). Now about to enjoy some lunch at Por Que No. #
@rmurphey I'm actually jealous. It has yet to warm up and dry out enough in Portland for us to do anything substantial in the yard. in reply to rmurphey #
Done with supply shopping for @osbridge, except for those giant post-its we use for the unconference scheduling. Those are hard to find. #

Busy day with @osbridge work and a trip to the nursery for some starts. Now dinner and a movie at home with @PDXyogini. #
I ordered this poster http://is.gd/caU2W from @buyolympia yesterday, and it arrived today! Awesome. Yay local businesses. #
I wonder if I can make it to all of the Sunday Parkways this year (they start this Sunday, in NE Portland). http://is.gd/cbI0N #
@jarvitron @reidab @donpdonp Awesome. Will try to make it to the meetup (@PDXyogini is still getting over a cold and is sleeping in). in reply to jarvitron #
Getting started a bit late, but @PDXyogini and I are headed out now from N Portland to Wilshire park. Yay Sunday Parkways! #
At Wilshire park looking for friends. #
The line for VooDoo doughnuts, long as always. http://twitpic.com/1oegpn #
Had a very lovely first Sunday Parkways with @donpdonp, @kcomandich, @wchogg and others. #
Trying to resuscitate my blackberry from the grey screen of death it gave me yesterday. So far not having a lot of luck. #
Reminder: @pdxdevelopment Lunch 2.0 is Wednesday http://bit.ly/akwBZX (via @siliconflorist) #
Chrome is complaining about a lot of site's ssl certificates (Gmail, Twitter, etc.), when Firefox thinks they are fine. Strange. #
Talking a few minutes to scarf down some food and answer some emails. You know, my typical lunch hour. Sigh. #
Volunteer shift sign-up for @osbridge now available! More info on the Wiki: http://bit.ly/osbvolunteer2010 #
Trying for the third time to re-install the OS on my Blackberry. Hoping it works so I don't have to spend time waiting at a Verizon store. #
@funkatron Did you see the map link on that wiki page? It shows you how far each of the hotels is from @osbridge venue. in reply to funkatron #
@funkatron Also, the streetcar goes up 10th & 11th, so any hotel along those streets will have minimal walking necessary. in reply to funkatron #
@selenamarie have a fantastic trip/conference! in reply to selenamarie #
I was in my mother's womb in California when St. Helen's erupted 30 years ago today. #
Second trip to Verizon store much more productive. Blackberry was fixed in two minutes and all is well again. #

At the Burbank Airport waiting for my flight to Sacramento and then Portland. #
It's amazing how much email can pile up after only 4 days. Hoping I can triage it all before I have to board. #
@wwjimd yes, I do. My email would be pretty unmanageable without 'em. Or at least a lot more time consuming. in reply to wwjimd #
Glad I won't have to do any more driving in LA in the foreseeable future. It wears me out to have to have to drive so aggressively. #
Feels nice to be home, albeit a little strange without @PDXyogini. #
Just got some sad, sad news about a friend. #
One of the neighbors is setting off fireworks. This is making Zonker growl. #
Ugh, just chipped a huge piece off one of my molars (eating popcorn of all things). #
Does this count as a dental emergency? #
Calling Kaiser advice nurse. What a pain. #
Advice nurse says to take ibuprofen if I have pain, eat soft foods only, don't brush that tooth, but ok to rinse with salt water. #
Relieved that Kaiser Dental just called and have an opening for me this morning. #
Dental appointment went fine. Scheduled appointments to have my first crown done (those things are pricey). #
At the Lucky Lab Tap Room working on the volunteer schedule for @osbridge. #
Trying to remember how to do laundry since @PDXyogini is out of town and I'm nearly out of clean pants. #

Hey @AmerFlatbread are any of your offerings vegan? #

Grumpy that Backspace is closed for a private event and that I'm deprived of my pre @osbridge meeting snack. #
Ok. We are hungry and are at someday lounge. #
I realized after signing up for an OregonLive account (so I could leave a comment) that I could have used my OpenID. Argh. #
Nice, albeit short, write up on a few local vegan/vegan-friendly restaurants: http://is.gd/c7v4Q #
Also, bee pollen and honey are not vegan because they of animal origin (that's why Prasad is not all vegan). #
Time to mark your calendars! The 2010 @osbridge schedule is now live! http://cot.ag/9lq3wn #
@wchogg Sometimes I try to beat it into submission. other times I just give in and rest. Neither seems like a sure-fire solution. in reply to wchogg #
@zenpuffin I forgot to oggle your Archos when I saw you the other evening. How are you liking it? #
What do my Linux friends use for password management? I want to ditch OSX, but I'm hooked on @1Password. #
@edavis10 I did that for a while, but got paranoid about someone reverse-engineering my algorithm. in reply to edavis10 #
@edavis10 Plus, I found that hard to apply to all the server and app logins I manage (e.g linux root, mysql root, etc.) in reply to edavis10 #
Attending funerals is never fun, but that was a decent service. I'm grateful that @PDXyogini returned from SF in time to join me. #
My trumpets came back from my mom's in California with @PDXyogini. The cats are not amused (by my horrid playing). #
I'm sorta proud of myself for remembering how to play a major scale, though. #
Is your schedule open? @OSBridge and @OSCON release final schedules for 2010 http://bit.ly/dC5D1D (via @siliconflorist) #
Walked across the Morrison bridge from our offices in SE to get lunch from Just Thai. Nom nom. Probably the best idea I've had all week. #
A huge +1! @nahbois: screw snow days, can't we have the whole city come to a screeching halt due to the fireball in the sky? #
@soycamo There are plenty of volunteer slots open for @osbridge . I'll be releasing the shift sign-up this weekend; keep an eye out for it. in reply to soycamo #
Slept in, sketched out wedding invitation ideas with @PDXyogini. Now gathering up bike stuff to ride down to @sweetpeabaking. #
Have a language, project, or topic you want to discuss at @osbridge. Schedule a Birds of a Feather session! http://cot.ag/cTnKkT #

Nothing conclusive from the pulmonologist regarding my cough. Rx for Advair, over which I nearly cried when I found out how much it cost. #
Awesome dental checkup makes up for the sticker shock of buying named-brand drugs this morning. Now to actually get some work done. #

It's a gorgeous evening in the East Bay. Just waiting for BART to take me into the city. #
Good grief I have completely forgotten how to navigate this city. #
Getting ready to head over to the Palace of Fine Arts for @Chirp. #
Badge and tshirt acquired. #
Wondering what's vegan on the breakfast table at @chirp since nothing's labeled. #
@thesethings I did not know that! Sadly just the bagels are vegan. Mmm dry bagels for breakfast. in reply to thesethings #
Yay, finally connected to the Wifi! #chirp #
Twitter API gets 3 billion requests a day. #chirp #
Major goal going forward is to give lots more guidance and support to Twitter developers. #chirp #
Now @ev is talking about Twitter's philosophy. #chirp #
"The open exchange of information has a positive impact on the world." #chirp #
1st priority is Infrastructure: scalability, quality of service and rapid development. #chirp #
Scalability projects include FlockDB and moving to Cassandra. #chirp #
Recent QoS improvements include reduced error rates, reduced delivery failure and many killed bugs. #chirp #
Created a tool called "Murder" that uses bittorrent for rapid deployments. #chirp #
30% of Twitter users are moble. Want to increase to 100%. #chirp #
55 million tweets and 600 million search queries a day. Want to start building in relevance. #chirp #
Adding a "places" (points of interest) feature. #chirp #
@incanus77 Tentative date for BarCampPortland is 10/22-10/23. http://calagator.org/events/1250458519 in reply to incanus77 #
Roadmap: improving reliability, expanding capability, developer happiness. #chirp #
new api feature places: not only attach neighborhood and cities to tweet, but also add rich context. #chirp #
new streaming api feature: user streams: no rate limits, stream delivered in real-time #chirp #
(new api feature) annotations: developers can add arbitrary meta-data #chirp (nice! applause from audience) #
Will be launching dev.twitter.com, a central resource for Twitter devs. #chirp #
API documentation will now be auto-generated from codebase. (yay!) #chirp #
Created an API console for ease of testing. #chirp #
Implemented Watchmouse for external monitoring of API. #chirp #
Will.I.Am is surprise guest. Lots of camera flashes going off. #chirp #
"Twitter is a collective consciousness…you can now surf people's thoughts. It's dope!" (via Will.I.Am) #chirp #
No vegan offering for lunch even though the organizers assured me there would be. #chirp #
@thesethings thx! They apparently do have a meal for me and are tracking it down. in reply to thesethings #
Okay, lunch acquired. #
After hearing the words "substantial tax liability" from my accountant, I am every so grateful I no longer work for myself. #
four components of @anywhere: sign-in, hovercards, tweetbox, connect #chirp #
with @anywhere just a few lines of js can provide frictionless integration of twitter in the context of what users are already doing. #chirp #
@zenpuffin Amen! Congrats on the new gig, btw! They're gonna let you go to @osbridge, right? in reply to zenpuffin #
Now @harrisj from the NYTimes is "demonstrating' (via mockups) @anywhere features. #chirp #
Awesome! dev.twitter.com is up! (via @episod). #chirp #
And @anywhere specific info available on http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere. #chirp #
On break. Snacks look good, but I don't have the energy to track someone down to find out if they're vegan or not. #chirp #
The soundtrack at #chirp has been quite interesting. #
@edavis10 Yup, it would be really helpful if conf organizers would label food with important ingredients (animal, common allergens, etc.) in reply to edavis10 #
@datachick At the conferences I help run, yes. At this one, they aren't doing so great with the vegan options. in reply to datachick #
Monetization platform: has to be organic and has to work everywhere tweets go, not just on twitter. #chirp #
promoted tweet campaigns link specific tweets to keyword searches and places those tweets at the top of search results. #chirp #
Anything you can do with a tweet, you can do with a promoted tweet. #chirp #
Will use a "resonance" score to decide which promoted tweets to display. #chirp #
Resonance measures all the ways that users interact with a tweet: retweet, replies, #tag clicks, avatar clicks, profile clicks, etc. #chirp #
@gilesgoatboy Knowing that you can ssh to/from an iPad makes me like it a bit more. in reply to gilesgoatboy #
Pricing will start on a CPM model and then move to an ROI model once resonance is understood better. #chirp #
Commercial accounts will have a unified dashboard and allow multiple tweet authors. #chirp #
There will be resellers for commercial accounts? Did I hear that correctly? #chirp #
@TriSimon Not that I know of, but @jkuramot coordinates Lunch 2.0 in Portland. And @wv2010 was the host for today's event. in reply to TriSimon #
I highly recommend walking to the second part of #chirp It's quite lovely out. #
@WebWallflower No, the #chirp dinner isn't all vegan. There were two items set aside for vegans. in reply to WebWallflower #
The acoustics in this building are making the ignite talks pretty much inaudible. #chirp #
@jennielees oh noes! I had to ask about the vegan signs. One plate of orzo was vegan, and so was one salad. #labelfail indeed in reply to jennielees #
@thesethings Yeah, I don't get how a company with a vegan co-founder could have such sparse vegan options at its conference. in reply to thesethings #
@thesethings What's a c-level vegan? in reply to thesethings #
@WebWallflower Thoughtful isn't really how I would describe it. Salad and plain pasta does not make a meal. They could do better. in reply to WebWallflower #
@thesethings Ev is vegan too! Now I'm really befuddled that they couldn't provide one decent vegan meal at their conference. in reply to thesethings #
Man, vegans (and near-vegans) who run and participate in events need to step up their game! #
@elegantmachines Love me some smarties! Just don't eat too many, or they'll make your tongue hurt. in reply to elegantmachines #
Ready for #chirp day 2. Come talk to me about @shopigniter or @osbridge! #
More talking, less tweeting for me today at #chirp Come find me if you want one of these stickurs. http://twitpic.com/1ftgvd #
@zenpuffin me too! it's dangerous (and illegal in many states) to ride while wearing headphones. in reply to zenpuffin #
@heroku where abouts are you at #chirp in reply to heroku #
Listening to OAuth talk by @episod and @raffi. #chirp http://twitpic.com/1fu8kl #
Glad to hear twitter will be turning off basic auth on the api in June. #chirp #
@ggoodale I can help you with that if you would like one of these http://twitpic.com/1ftgvd in reply to ggoodale #
Impromptu Artmaking at #chirp http://flic.kr/p/7TKUGH #
@adamd to be fair, Apache complains too if your DocRoot doesn't exist. in reply to adamd #
@ggoodale I'm hanging out in the middle of the couches. in reply to ggoodale #
Broke down and had a red bull so I could pay attention during the application showcase. #chirp #
@reidab on no! Glad the collision was low speed and that you're okay. in reply to reidab #
So far crowdreel and tap11 look most interesting. #chirp #
@geekygirldawn yum! I'm envious. in reply to geekygirldawn #
I sweat to Buddha that next year I'm doing my taxes in January. #
@ZenDirtZenDust lol, totally meant "swear". travel + conference + last minute tax rush has left me totally fried. in reply to ZenDirtZenDust #
Noshing on the glorious collard wraps that @PDXyogini made for me. nom nom nom. #
@addictedtotext I feel you. I haven't talked to my father in 8+ years. in reply to addictedtotext #
En route to Oakland airport and then on to Portland. Yay for short trips. #
