Clearly Santorum hasn't a clue about the complexity of U.S. historical (or even Biblical)

Brilliant startup speaks at conferences. Startup turns into a business. Business stops
letting employees give talks.
Why is this a thing?—@holman

Mac App Store sandbox rules push @Manton Reece, one of Apple's most devoted developers, out of the Mac App Store. http://t.co/tRGHLjxM—@danielpunkass
@siracusa @danielpunkass I think he’s mistaken. I think Gatekeeper is another wedge to eventually remove all
non-App Store apps.—@ndw

oh yes we're all laughing at SOAP now. so what will we all be laughing at in five
years? that you're selling?—@robertbrook
@robertbrook there's quite a lot of piecemeal hodge-podge vendor driven madness in "HTML5" that
is as equally lampoonable as WS-* in my book—@psd

Turns out that when the office printer put "feed jam" on it's error display it didn't

When Santorum says "as, of course, you know..." the things he says *next* are always,
100% of the time, completely false.—@kendall

Rooted Galaxy Tab, installed plain vanilla Android Ice Cream Sandwich (he he). Diff
to previous version (+ Samsung customiz.) is remarkable.—@martin_probst
@martin_probst The original 7” tab, or the newer 10.1” one? Pointer to instructions?—@ndw
@ndw forum posts here (root, CM9 Kang) http://t.co/Iyx63HdW straight forward except for sacrificing that goat and the other 15 steps :-(—@martin_probst
@martin_probst Ah. The 10.1. I’d like to root my old Tab7 to burn off the Verizon crap, but that’s
not popular apparently.—@ndw
@ndw that forum has a lot of sections for different devices, though I have no idea if
the 7" tab even supports Android 4.0.—@martin_probst
@martin_probst I don’t think it does.—@ndw

Out of interest… Who else thinks about implementing @adamretter‘s great proposal for RESTful Annotations in XQuery? #xquery #work2gether—@christiangruen
@ndw @christiangruen cool, would be quite nice to have more common ground to base applications on :-)—@micheee

My goodness, according to /history, Google has been recording my searches since Oct
18, 2005. During which time, I’ve done 20,970 searches.—@ndw
@ndw Here: 40,044 searches since 2007. Now I'd like to know on how many ads I clicked
during that time. (My guess: 0.)—@avernet

Try defining your taste by what you appreciate rather than what you don't. Loathing
is trendy. Buck the trend. Yeah.—@timminchin

According to http://t.co/d5WqGk5YY, I’m a human, even though I post a suspiciously high number of links. Only human.
Alas.—@ndw
@ndw human too :( ... but WTF ... whats the point of twitter if not to post links like
http://t.co/InHnKRP4 ? "excessive" indeed hmmph—@DALDEI
@ndw: Names I tried on http://t.co/Qc3SBKlv all show a suspiciously high number of links. To talk only about yourself is human?—@MenteaXML

Everyone has to restrain themselves from saying (and thinking) that they have to be

here. :) Enjoy your surroundings.—@bsletten
