Please, @evernote could you drop all the "work chat" popups? I don't know or care this time or the last 50 times I've had to dismiss them.—@ndw

@ndw You shouldn't receive them that many times. Are you clicking through them? What's your OS and Evernote version?—@evernotehelps

@evernotehelps It happens on the web version and the windows (8.1, 5.8.4.6870 (274870) Public) version with annoying frequency.—@ndw

@ndw Are you on the beta web client? Does this happen on every browser?—@evernotehelps

@evernotehelps Yes, and the beta web client asks me about trying it *every single time I start it*. I'm mostly using Chrome on Linux.—@ndw

@ndw Does this happen on the older version of the web client as well?—@evernotehelps

@ndw Revert back via Settings > Account Summary > Select “Go back to old version” in the Beta section to check.—@evernotehelps

@MartianOdyssey there's markup in my past. I've been a type astronaut for quite a while now. I have a residual fondness for XPath. /cc @ndw—@milessabin

This chair is masculine. No it's feminine. No, it's testicles. http://t.co/g8KLbqOGXf—@ndw

@ndw But the English speaker still has to answer for the Victorian practice of putting trousers on table legs.—@cramerdw

"A rough-coated, dough-faced ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough, coughing and hiccoughing thoughtfully."—@ndw

Loved @XMLPrague? Looking forward to @XMLLondon? Wondering about @XMLAmsterdam? You must come to @Balisage! Papers due 17 April! C'mon!—@ndw

@ndw @xmlprague @xmllondon @XMLAmsterdam @Balisage Dayum. That is expensive. I'm pissing blood at the thought of it. I'll stick with London—@DinoFancellu

@DinoFancellu @ndw @xmlprague calling #xmlprague expansive is the best April fool of 2015—@jirkakosek

@jirkakosek @ndw @xmlprague I was talking about Balisage. Reread the original tweet.—@DinoFancellu

@mdubinko Make sure you have printed, safely stored backup codes. Lost my phone in January and 2FA recovery wasn't too painful.—@ndw

XML Stars, the journal is out! http://t.co/s8v45ww8ES Stories via @JamieXML @ndw—@dominixml

Salt Lick BBQ: "We have a variety of stock options available." *chuckle*—@ndw

The ongoing use of "religion" to shield otherwise unacceptable behavior is a direct result of faith being socially insulated from critique.—@ZJemptv
