On my way to Shenzhen!—@robinberjon
@robinberjon And I’m green with envy. Appropriate today, I guess.—@ndw
@ndw Join DAP, we go to all the cool places ;-)—@robinberjon
@robinberjon Oh, and a belated happy birthday, too!—@ndw
@ndw Thanks! Finally nearing a respectable age...—@robinberjon
@robinberjon None of that. You’ll never get another GQ interview if you go all respectable. You
gotta keep it real, man.—@ndw
@ndw So long as mojitos exist, the odds that @robinberjon will become too respectable will remain near zero. :-)—@kiphampton
@kiphampton @robinberjon I make a mean mojito, Robin. You should lobby for another TAG meeting in W. Mass.—@ndw
@kiphampton Mojitos are getting gentrified — kids these days are adding Red Bull... @ndw—@robinberjon
@ndw Maybe, but on the other hand now that GQ's done I ought to aim for something else,
I dunno, New York Review of Books maybe?—@robinberjon
@robinberjon Cosmo—@karlpro
@karlpro Ah, good point. Someone else was suggesting Vanity Fair too. I think I'll need a
new pair of shoes though.—@robinberjon

@ndw thinking if you did the same treatment with music then my home system is finished!
#xquery—@xquery
@ndw Looks awesome! Did you add tags manually? Looking forward to the code. Have you thought
about MLJAM to do scaling and such?—@grtjn

Six stages of debugging: http://t.co/xu0OqAhD—@ndw
@ndw @nedbat Fails to account for the cycle of "Oh I see, wait no, ok I got it now, nevermind.
OH! Got it."—@alex_gaynor

is me.” —@dontrythishttp://t.co/s9qVcYow—@ndw

Textbook belly landing! LOT jet from New York to Poland lands on belly in Warsaw,
all 230 on board survive unscathed: http://t.co/1YOhknWH—@mollydotcom
@mollydotcom I wonder if it’s possible to repair a plane after that sort of landing or if you
just have to cannibalize it for parts.—@ndw

Last night’s hacking: taxonomy tree for tags and indexes for places (country/city
from photo metadata): http://t.co/PLLRkHSS #marklogic—@ndw

I need some good tv/movies to watch. I am obeying orders to continue post-op aggressive
rest therapy (ART). But nothing thrills atm.—@mollydotcom
@mollydotcom Outcasts, Survivors & Luther are all on Netflix. All are good UK sci-fi or dramas.
Also, 13 Assassins & Red Cliff (movies).—@kplawver
@kplawver I keep seeing Luther pop up on my Netflix suggested, and it caught my attention.
With a Kev endorsement, I might give it a try :)—@mollydotcom
@mollydotcom It's the best cop drama since The Wire if that helps sway you.—@kplawver
@kplawver Wow. That's a serious endorsement. Luther it is, then! Thank you :)—@mollydotcom

Would buy/rent movie to watch on upcoming flight, but online sources are all DRM’d.
That’s lost revenue, media moguls.—@ndw
@ndw yeah but if you're renting, who cares about DRM? For buying, I agree…—@hungarianhc
@hungarianhc True. I don’t actually know how renting would work without DRM. But lost money for
#sonypictures anyway.—@ndw

I always thought that holding an SLR with a regular SLR is kind of clunky. Luma solves

Uh, @united, I’m a premier gold member, why does my boarding pass say I’m in group 3? And your
telephone support is useless, btw.—@ndw

Cal Thomas accuses secularists of blasphemy, that is, saying rude things about his
imaginary friends.—@kendall

I know a great UDP joke but you might not get it.—@aalear

You can take my kid to church once she's old enough to realize adults are full of
shit.—@CcSteff
