URI issues on the Windows platform. What sort of a bastard was I in a previous life?—@ndw
@ndw http://tr.im/pjRN helped me a lot in understanding how URIs (don't) work in Windows.—@vojtechtoman
@vojtechtoman Thanks. I decided to try File.toURI().toASCIIIString(). I'm not sure it does the right thing, but maybe that's not my fault—@ndw

XML 1.0 fifth edition discussions again—@al3xbrown

To find what licenses were issued in the past, I open an XML log file and grep it. Should I be ashamed of myself?—@michaelhkay
@michaelhkay Not in the slightest.—@ndw

Never underestimate the power of ignorance. Called Adobe with my best clueless immitation, they walked me through the CS3/CS4 upgrade. FTW!—@ndw

Wow. That's really all I can say. http://tinyurl.com/nfarfw—@ndw
@ndw Aaah, my eyes. You should put some kind of warning on code like that. It's the goat.se of code.—@eliasisrael

@ndw this is why I'm not supposed to program XML using string methods, right? ;)—@TheRepoRat
@TheRepoRat I dunno. I've done some awful things in the name of expediency. But you shouldn't be using substring with constant offsets!—@ndw

Delighted to discover that the theme song for "Weeds" is Malvina Reynolds' "Little Boxes." inspired by the track houses south of SF on 101.—@sarawinge

Re: Outlook 2000 vs 2010, how about you just STOP SENDING HTML EMAIL then it won't be a problem for you or your readers. Seriously. kthxbai.—@ndw

♺@tommorriss If you really want to fix outlook, instead of fixoutlook.org, just do http://is.gd/1bDRX and http://is.gd/1bDSM—@ndw

Apparently my rantings about IntelliJ stability were misdirected. Thanks, Apple. http://tinyurl.com/my9t8y—@ndw

Thoughtful reply by @vojtechtoman to my "not XProc" piece. Maybe I shouldn't have gone there. I have some worms, anyone got a bigger can?—@ndw

If I fail to resist the USB monitory gizmo, will it work? Can I have 3 displays on OS X?—@ndw

I beat the rain. Back yard meadow mowed back to something like a lawn, if chopped weeds can be described as like a lawn.—@ndw

Thought I was going to see Taking of the Pelham 123. Turns out it was The Hangover. Funny in places. #nephewvisiting—@ndw

If you say something is growing exponentially, don't call it "squared" in the next sentence! (Lookin' at you @timoreilly)—@terrycojones
@terrycojones saying squared is better than saying doubled. At least "squared" is an exponent...—@ndw

Diana or Jacko worship is silly, but it's silly in the same way that Jesus or Allah worship is. Grow up.—@tommorris
