This evening I learnt how to play "Pandemic" - a really great board game!—@johnlsheridan
@johnlsheridan Played it for the first time over the weekend (shout out to @jenit); great game, but it sure appears hard to win.—@ndw
@iand @ndw Do you have the On The Brink expansion? Recommended if you don't. /cc @johnlsheridan—@JeniT
@JeniT @ndw @johnlsheridan not tried that. Xmas here we come! Have you played shadows over camelot, another
coop game, just as hard?—@iand

One of the things the Addr Book/Contacts upgrade lost was the association of names
and faces. Oh, dear $DIETY, how many am I getting wrong?—@ndw
@ndw oh no- first time i-ve heard of technological prosopagnosia—@drabshadow

Sigh. OS X Contacts/Google Contacts sync has just duplicated every entry in my address
book. How fucking wonderful.—@ndw
@ndw had the same thing happening when switching from #MobileMe to #iCloud. it's very hard to control/debug these beasts. #whenmagicbreaks—@dret

wonderful; the one time I need wifi on the plane, and it is unavailable—@christo4ferris
@christo4ferris I’ve *never* had wifi on a plane, though I’m lead to believe such things do exist.—@ndw
@ndw yeah, I don't think I've used it b4... I rarely see the need. Prefer to read. 2nite
I needed it. Fortunately 2 legs (waves from plane)—@christo4ferris

Apparently, conservatives just can't disguise their disdain for the non-rich: http://t.co/f1wn94st—@kiphampton
@kiphampton Aristocracy is back, baby!—@kendall
@kendall @kiphampton Clearly job one is making sure the poor^H^H^H^Hnot-rich can’t vote next time.—@ndw

On OS X, uname -a for 10.8.2 reports 12.2.0. For 10.6.something it reports 10.8.0.
Because that could never be confusing.—@ndw
@ndw Kernel != OS. Or do you expect that uname -a on Debian 6 will print "Linux 6"? 'sw_vers'
exists.—@nogfradelt
@nogfradelt Of course not. I was just amused by the juxtaposition. If 10.6 had been 3.4 and 10.8
had been 4.2 it’d seemed perfectly ordinary—@ndw

the remaining 10% is just wishful thinking. It's always a bot—@gabrielsaldana

If you aren’t running an ssh server on a remote host, you can’t ssh into it. I’m just
saying.—@ndw

“Your credit card payment is due in 10.00 days.” Because those 14ish minute intervals

Amazed that CapitalOne expects me to wait 5-7 days for new card. Making me switch
to another card on Amazon etc. can’t be good for them.—@ndw
