Fluid 0.9.2.2 is out with a bunch of bug fixes. http://fluidapp.com/blog—@iTod
@iTod Thanks for fixing the missing icon bug in the update.I have one wish: could the update leave my user stylesheets (default.css) intact?—@trieloff
@trieloff I will try to add that next time... Still wanna do a proper Userstyle feature for stylesheets matched against URL patterns.—@iTod
@itod Why did upgrading Fluid cause all my app icons to get randomized?—@ndw

Fell down the stairs. Ankle has swelling the size of an orange. Ow ow ow ow ow. Hope the frozen peas can perform some magic.—@JeniT
@JeniT Ow! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!—@ndw

Someone asked for RDFa in DocBook. I wonder if that's a good idea.—@ndw

Monday at 11:48am

Running setup.exe from remote share too slow for words. Wonder if it'll work if I copy everything locally first? I'll find out in two hours.—@ndw

Monday at 11:51am

If you perform a Finder copy/paste while another is executing, the first is aborted!? WTF? Maybe I'm mistaken. I'll know in 13 minutes...—@ndw

Monday at 12:05pm

No. If you perform one Finder copy while another is in progress, you only see the progress bar for the most recent. Both continue. 1/2 FAIL—@ndw

"The End of Theory" is wrong on so many levels.—@timbray
@timbray Heh. Been there, done that (re: parsing RDF with XSLT)—@ndw

Monday at 09:01pm

Mental note: must make more effort to get to OSCON next year—@ndw

SWEET! FriendFeed has released a mobile interface too... great for a Fluid MenuExtra SSB.... http://is.gd/Jip—@iTod
@itod fluidapp.com is missing a "documentation" link where I'll learn things like how to change the app icon. I knew once, but've forgotten.—@ndw

Monday at 09:33pm

Heh. "But've" What one will do to the English language to fit it in 140 chars.—@ndw

Q: Google used to have a search (not ad) affiliate deal where u earned $ for searches made in a goog searchbox on yr site.this still around?—@iTod
@itod "Location" behaves bit oddly when creating Fluid apps. What's your bug reporting tool of choice?—@ndw

A new newsletter on mobile tech at Mozilla - http://is.gd/Jos—@karlw3c
@karlw3c You have a free portable high performance spoon? Do share!—@ndw

In a conversation that started on Tuesday at 05:47am

This is just not healthy! WTF are they thinking? Teaching small kids to fire machine guns is wrong! http://youtube.com/watch?v=LdzePA3uf5k—@asbjornu
@asbjornu Interesting. I'll try that if it ever happens again. I almost never use Finder, just happened to be copying from mtd win shares.—@ndw

Tuesday at 08:23am

Anyone figured out how to get logo images on MOO business cards. I'm seeing totally nonlinear behavior!—@ndw

Creepy America's got talent contestant video http://tinyurl.com/29swrk—@bh5k
@bh5k As magic tricks go, that one is pretty impressive.—@ndw

In a conversation that started on Tuesday at 10:41am

Ok, so AT&T is charging the usual extra $ for SMS with the new iPhone plans. What a disgrace. http://tinyurl.com/4gtjcz—@ebruchez
@ebruchez Blech. I don't really care about SMS, but I'd like a 225min/mo plan for $35. I'm not sure I use 450min/year on my mobile.—@ndw

Tuesday at 10:50am

Maybe I'll give up my work land line. That'd almost make it affordable.—@ndw

Tuesday at 07:17pm

Why does Chase bank *never* recognize the computer I'm coming from, it's always the same!—@ndw

Tuesday at 07:19pm

Fifty-nine new photos on Flickr. I think I see the surface above me now. Ever upward!—@ndw

Becoming assimilated. Trying to live without focus-follows-mouse today.—@ndw
@ndw focus-follows-mouse seems like a long lost childhood friend - would love to get in contact with it, but it doesn't frequent my circles.—@aloofschipperke
@aloofschipperke MondoMouse supports it, and it works pretty well, but I finally decided it was introducing odd side effects—@ndw

In a conversation that started on Wednesday at 09:55am

I think focus-follows-mouse is only practical *without* auto-raise and I haven't found out how to turn that off.—@ndw
@ndw what system are you using where you can't turn off that icky auto-raise?—@dcm
@dcm OS X. Since it's click-to-focus, auto-raise doesn't come into play. But the hack to get focus follows mouse effectively enables it.—@ndw

Wednesday at 02:16pm

No, thank you, twitter wasn't distracting enough. I *needed* to join identi.ca too.—@ndw

In a conversation that started on Wednesday at 02:37pm

Despite all the talk about identi.ca and FriendFeed, Twitter is like eBay, the network effect is too strong, there will be no way out.—@avernet
@avernet Yes, I suspect that's the case. So making it, you know, work would be lovely. kthx.—@ndw

Wednesday at 09:27pm

I missed the entire month of June, but I'm back. (He says optimistically). http://is.gd/KTk—@ndw

In a conversation that started on Wednesday at 09:28pm

Twitter, identi.ca, friendfeed, I need to come up with some sort of plan—@ndw
@ndw ditch them all for something pinax-based?—@jtauber
@jtauber Oh thanks. More choices :-)—@ndw

Thursday at 07:08am

I wonder how Small Pieces Loosely Joined and SPLJ: a unified theory of the web differ. Amazon has both.—@ndw

Thursday at 07:41am

I wish Quicksilver wouldn't get confused periodically and forget all my apps..—@ndw

In a conversation that started on Thursday at 09:37am

tic as a verb also suggests games on identi.ca: tic tac toe, say. also nice sense of confirmation - i tic that. instead of ping, ticl..—@monkchips
@monkchips 24th to 22nd? Can I haz backwards time machine?—@ndw

Dear T-Mobile, emailing me a link for a new service where I have to login to see it only works if your login remembers what I wanted to see!—@ndw

Dear T-Mobile, putting the whole thing in flash: epic FAIL—@ndw
