- When I was young I had a coupla jobs that called for long periods of real toil. Tech ditch-digging. Now … I resent even hours of that.
#
- @ChrisLaBossiere Brown lab (“liver”? is what we call springers) and what, some sorta Bichon Frise? How’d I score?
#
- @mndoci Is what got me working on “participatory deliberation” as a system … “discourse ethics” … drill down through the rhetoric.
#
- @ChrisLaBossiere Griffon?! Ooh-woo, thanks … new one for me. And wudda typed Chesapeake but it was too long. (No, really, not kidding!!)
#
- @ChrisLaBossiere Don’t get me wrong, I luv mutts. But my springer was CKC; he taught himself how to flush … in the blood, literally.

#
- @rjmoriarty Twitter really isn’t fire hose. More like a drinking fountain that runs 24/7. And sometimes it serves beer! Even scotch!!
#
- @davedelaney I set up a blog just to archive them viz

(unreasonably heavy WP template. *shrug*)
#
- @Mlsif How can folk not vote for someone who relates to sweet potato pie. I mean … really.
#
- Note to #Palin: In his last days Tricky Dick Nixon was greeted with warmth by the select crowds with which he surrounded himself. *hubris*
#
- Who do more harm, the Nixons of the world? or those who profess aspirational values while setting up false lights to draw us onto the rocks.
#
- New house rules: anybody who thinks they can earn their salt by shuffling papers / speculation / profiteering will be de-Followed.
#
- @ourfounder Dang, I’z busted! But seriously, I think McCain would have it otherwise, had he *Zounds! Gadzooks!* more spine/autonomy.
#
- ReTw @lisarokusek: Justified fear is how we will win this election; our faith in goodness, truth [...] is why we must.

#
- @mndoci *grin* My Vajrayana lineage would probably include in “compassion” a healthy skepticism; judge? Sure. Just don’t condemn! huh huh
#
- @robbyrussell If OpenSource was more rational tech_docs types like me wouldn’t be asked/expected to work/live like poor cousins.
#
- Found “OpenOffice 3.0 / fears of development stagnation” in History from 3 hrs ago. Cheers! >

- “OpenOffice 2.4 is up to date.” Oh. Ok. Is that a GoodThing? Shall I DL and install OO3.0 in parallel? *sigh*

- @mndoci Ah-lah, if bhakti.yoga could be introduced w/o cult aspects … from my sphere I suggest bodhicitta. HeyHo, and so it goes.
#
- How truly lame is this society? 6 drink-related crashes in this small city last night. The focus? Catch/prosecute. Psychopaths’ picnic.
#
- @ChrisLaBossiere I got springer spaniel cuz they’re “all o’that” but mostly cuz they’re not large but unbreakable i.e. 5 kids in the house.
#
- @cameronreilly “Free as in beer” is a suckers’ play.
#
- @adamclyde Individuals who can’t handle WikiPedia disputes should be kept well away from the levers of actual power.
#
- @MossyBlog You sure you want to play with the maelstrom? Time w/WarHammer might be more productive. Or at least more relaxing. ;-)
#
- Wow, these A-list types! Not just snotty pricks; downright creepy. Shrieking “vandalism” about an arguable bit of rhetoric 18 months ago.
#
- @MossyBlog Me, on the other hand: when cursor hovers over WoW icon I find myself thinking, “For what?” … go pet cat/pick up magazine. :)
#
- @philcrissman “context-free grammars”?! You building a compiler from scratch? (PoMo / discourse ethics spoken here. *grin*)
#
- What neo-realists ignore: karma (or even just causality) doesn’t observe the niceties of in-group deniability.
#
- @canadrian Cheers! I’ve been working on my pale ale for years. c{}~
#
- My Buddhist Resources page got quadruple hits last week. Fun to watch it; first published in ‘96 … a solid performer.
#
- Why have folk started posting links as
http://www.mysitename.com
instead of with
http://
and live? Odd sort of atavism.
#
- @michaelsigler Nice feather in your cap; congrats.
#
- Uh-oh … just remembered a dream I had … a neat applet for Air. Yikes, yet another language / environment to grapple with!

- Creepy … my 4Gig thumb drive is reporting a total of 1.8Gig capacity. I didn’t lose any files but *shudder*I’m thinking it’s not safe.
#
- #Vista Dear M$ – What are you thinking? When I Cut files and Paste them elsewhere, why leave empty dirs behind? Are you f’n nutz?
#
- #Vista Dear M$ – I hate having to write you like this. When I select a disk, Tools, and Defrag, why must I de-select all the other disks?!
#
- #Vista Dear M$ – Don’t worry about the files on my thumb drive. I plugged it into my Win98SE box and fixed it. Oh, BTW: you really suck.
#
- @cote Interesting … descriptions / tags / categorization. Not “comment” and yet more than just noise.
#
- @ChrisSaad WayBack captured it?
#
- @cameronreilly Please know I’m not denegrating your use case. Quite the opposite. But funding for those projects came from somewhere.
#
- @brianshaler SendTo really should be / needs to be Ajaxified.
#
- @motownmutt Funny (or not) how that hits at gut level. Kinda elemental.
#
- @cameronreilly Now I never thought either of us meant that. But point stands: for “free as in beer”, creators should defer income?
#
- @cameronreilly Ok. “May choose to” work on OS on the side, relying on convetional income stream. As a hobby. Options? 0 w/o funding source.
#
- @cameronreilly Sure … like google. Or Netscape giving the code away. OS exclusively by big companies. That’s attractive?
#
- OpenSource … it’s not about free as in beer. It’s not about generosity and philanthropy. It’s meant to optimize for participation. IMNSHO
#
- @rhh Most folk know that “the nail that sticks up gets hammered”, however they might evade the point. Dis-incentives are very real.

- @veen Had a chance to move there years ago, a big theatre project … very nearly did … very attractive. #CounterFactualHistory
