Narrowly averted impulse woot of refurb iPod. Consoled self that will get one another time. When they don’t have an announcement in 5 days. #
As Bill says: There’d better not be any truth to this shit about Carlos Quentin’s wrist being broken. #
@shadow Am getting an iPhone! But capacity is barely any better than my first-gen original 5G iPod, and am sick of picking and choosing. #
@mizmoose We are together in no-iPod-solidarity. (Also, am not rich developer like @shadow either. Work’s buying my jesusphone.) #
A French student is niqui, encore! #
@mizmoose Well, at least it gives you the excuse to write your DSL off on your taxes, then! #
Nothing like friday at 1630 when you forgot to write a shell script to run a batch job this weekend, or at 1655 realizing it should be perl. #

I think I am (temporarily, most likely) in love with the predictive markets. It’s like gambling, only I understand the game. #
@shadow Cracker! <3 Cracker. Sadly, last time I saw them was ruined by a hundred drunk-ass Cub fans. :( #
@shadow Any way you can rearrange things to become free? It would be worth it! #

A prediction markets participant is niqui! At least with pretend money. #
Also, White Sox: QUIT LOSING. I have tickets to two games next week and I will be on top form for beating sense into you if necessary. #
@smokes70 OMG, I died laughing a thousand times. Kermy ‘fro! #
@writchrd No need to be polite. It’s Boone Logan. #
“what-could-go-wrong” was too long: sudo zypper sa http://tinyurl.com/5f2yxd certain-doom #
Wow, it’s disconcerting having twitter auto-tinyurl a url when the url itself is part of the joke. #
@mizmoose Any path that leads to kernel-debug-2.6.27-rc5.git2.10.1.i586.rpm is a path that leads to fear, loathing, and panic. #
-3.4 (-9.8) #
@mizmoose Well, not so much that one specifically so much as ‘kernel-${very_recent_version}-rc[\d].*\.rpm’. Fear! #
Matt Thornton, if you walk in a run, I will drive to Cleveland this instant and BEAT YOUR ASS. #

Pet Shop Boys’ “Integral” is one of those songs that when I rate it 5 stars in iTunes, I want to downgrade everything else in relation. #
