@xproc @ndw Any summary of the diffs? Or an actual diff with 1.0?—@ebruchez
@ebruchez @xproc Too much churn for a useful diff from the 1.0 spec, I'm afraid.—@ndw
@ebruchez @xproc There's a Change Log appendix, linked from the status section.—@ndw
@ndw @xproc Thanks, I would have seen it if I hadn't been too lazy to read the beginning :)—@ebruchez

There's something slightly terrifying about a big pot of boiling sugar syrup.—@ndw
@ndw There should be. https://t.co/EQ1VXhAIUi—@shanecurcuru
@ndw but doesn't it makes you feel badass and controlling forces of nature not meant to be tampered with? #bwahaha —@mathling

@rdeltour Calabash uses @ndw’s https://t.co/NpqvmQ2yr1 that doesn’t feature the specific bug I’ve encountered. Yet I find it harder to debug—@gimsieke
@gimsieke @rdeltour Hmm. If you file a reproducible bug report, I'll see if I can fix it or at least give a warning message or something.—@ndw

Evernote is in the process of jumping the shark. I fear Concur will be doing the same thing to Tripit next. At least I can reinvent Evernote—@ndw
@ndw what did I miss?—@laurendw
@laurendw Stupid annoyance from Evernote (chat FFS) and increasing corp presence from Concur.—@ndw
@ndw @laurendw I was wondering about the Evernote chat. Really? We need more ways to chat/text/message? I need fewer, myself.—@JeanKaplansky
@JeanKaplansky @ndw I use different ones for different groups of people—@laurendw
@laurendw @ndw me too... but there are just so many people I know!—@JeanKaplansky
@ndw right, that. I guess some people live in Evernote?—@laurendw
