For a box with an ethernet cable, the My Book World Edition sure does have abysmally
slow I/O.—@ndw

I want to want to use Google Voice, but it sure does make callers listen to *a lot*
of rings while it waits for me to answer.—@ndw

And how does part of the prompt get recorded on my mobile even if I hang up before
leaving a message?—@ndw

Then help! Need an assault on #timbl & @Nigel_Shadbolt to prevent mistake of public sector non-information resource URIs being versioned!
:)—@JeniT
@JeniT @robinberjon What a nightmare. Versioned URIs are OK for the W3C's li'l website, but most major
websites have rightly rejected them.—@abcoates
@abcoates @JeniT @robinberjon Do you not think specs need both specific version / latest version URIs?—@fiberartisan
@fiberartisan @JeniT @robinberjon I think the W3C's versioned URIs are OK for specs; not convinced it's an all-purpose
best practice.—@abcoates

When next I rebuild my laptop, I am not installing Java update 4. IntelliJ crashing
every twenty minutes is a serious productivity killer.—@ndw

Really missing Tweetie's ability to look back through a conversation in these Windows
clients.—@JeniT

Repeat after me: JavaScript var names do not start with $ but JQuery does use identifiers

Submitted a whole bunch of #xproc tests for various corner cases.—@vojtechtoman
@vojtechtoman Tortuous they are, too. Nice job.—@ndw

@OpenSourceGov, I find the worship ref on the #OSA page so disturbing I'm not sure I want to join. I know you're not .gov, but still...yuck.—@ndw

It's interesting how bleeding edge software is driven by needing to work on planes.
Only bleeding edge software developers fly this much.—@abdelazer

Jabber server at dreamhost seems to have stopped working. To investigate or wait and
see if it fixes itself, that's the question.—@ndw

Polemics are fun, but specific concrete proposals are better: http://bit.ly/103LTS—@timbray
@timbray and the ongoing WHATWG/W3C split is entirely the W3C's fault (first for causing the
split, then for refusing to heal it).—@diveintomark
Pushback on my link to http://bit.ly/103LTS from @diveintomark - e.g. "zombie lies". I guess he disagrees.—@timbray
@timbray Feh. I dunno. Any community that tolerates abuse to people like @burningbird is in need of a total reboot just on principle IMNSHO.—@ndw

is going on vacation. See you next Tuesday.—@ndw
@ndw I'm going on vacation *to* Boston from Sun to Wed. Should have done a house swap
:)—@david_megginson
@david_megginson we're a long drive from Boston, but NoHo airport is close by.—@ndw

Have you ever had your calendar remind you that today you're on vacation at some odd
hour of the night? (Of course not; it'd be stupid!)—@avernet

Using GMail as spam filter reduced spam almost to zero. But why so many regular messages
ended in spam folder? Something is wrong.—@jirkakosek
@jirkakosek ugh. I guess I should review my spam folder occasionally.—@ndw
