@ohunt already fixed. Wasn't aware that *SOMEONE* had recreated a twitter UI mistake -- deleting characters that go over the comment limit!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente it'd be easier to understand your needs if you blogged about it instead of writing 12+ back and forth tweets

@danudey "I know some people for whom it makes sense" this is a thinly veiled version of Godwin's Law, you realize that, right?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@spolsky says the guy who has his own "teh facebooks!!1!" account. Twitter is just IRC for the web. Long tradition of this: http://is.gd/lR1

@codinghorror
@kch "are unixy tricks on the mac or obscure property list settings are within the valid serverfault question spectrum" yes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pseale not even remotely the same issue

@jzy just created a pretty sweet CSS reskin for serverfault.com

@atl when you run a site that has approx 1,000 XKCD comics posted per day, you start to get a little.. bored.. with typical programmer jokes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway I'm pretty sure hotmail.com is in the IE8 "compatibility view" list as well

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@accordionguy try to work this cartoon into your post http://gunshowcomic.com/d/20081121.html

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@danudey well, exactly. We have enough REAL joke programming languages already. Like the P.ersonal H.ome P.age one.

@carnage4life for some reason your description of grad school as a "sucka move" made me LOL. I think I imagined Mr. T as an advisor.

@wilshipley is it like on the price is right? Then I bid one dollar, because you suckers all overbid! winner: ME

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley you know what helps bidding wars? giving them more publicity.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I still buy CDs, sometimes, because the music I want tends to be obscure collections

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente yep I blogged about the Russians that Saved the World in 2006 http://is.gd/ssPK

@codinghorror
@deliciousbees did you really dismiss the complaints about people who don't like "Visions" coming up in random sets?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ojtibi that it sucks? wasn't designed for this kind of use, and it shows. Sort of like using Lotus Notes as an email system. NUFFSAID

@codinghorror
@lostintangent I'm saying we now fully and thoroughly regret choosing the default ASP.NET view engine. Switching (to Spark) will be pain^3

@HMXCasey gotta go with Jack Black on this one. The Bends is the best Radiohead album, by far http://is.gd/s6K4

@kevindente clearly "is a leaky abstraction" is a leaky abstraction.

@schottac you *can* switch to IE6 on the Mac -- you're just not switching hard enough. SWITCH HARDER.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wdr1 you mean the source article was wrong. I'm a blogger, I don't write anything, I just ctrl+c, ctrl+v blockquote and add LOLZ

@wilshipley think like a programmer, man! use a GUID for the name! "hey did you guys install the 5C2C1D6A-26DA-11DE-AC49-ECF755D89593 app??"

@codinghorror
@wdr1 you willingly worked for TicketBastard? Why do you hate the world so much? :P

@codinghorror
@skrenta "newspapers don't link out much" that's the understatement of the century

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mattcutts as I've said before, Google needs to introduce an url shortening service. No, search isn't the same thing. You guys = center.

@windley errr.. "Easter Egg dying time" .. I'll be declining any invitations to your easter parties, kthx

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne my opinion on that topic is not a popular one, but I stand behind it (with some clarifications I'll get to next week)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@robdiana uni teaches you how to live outside your parents' home without killing yourself or anyone else. In theory.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@caseysoftware one of the big, big lies of MVC (in general) is that tag soup is somehow more maintainable than code. It ain't..

@lepinkainen you know what's irrational? Focusing on one irrational decision in a FLIPPIN' SEA OF THEM

@betsyphd says that high class call girls is not a valid form of birth control. I respectfully disagree.

@haacked I use UnitUnit for testing.

@aaronlerch perhaps but we can agree that @jeffmoser is great, no?

@skrenta information wants to be free! even if we have to drag it, kicking and screaming!!

@beckleyworks did you SEE some of the other logos? I think some of those "designers" were overpaid at $0.

@codinghorror
@shanselman ah yes, Ethiopian food, or as I like to refer to it, "Ace Bandages n' Slop". I'm.. not a fan. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bertlamb via @marcoarment touché. With the accent. You earned it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nathanbowers gave stackoverflow the "center square" -- just like Paul Lynde!! http://is.gd/rxKV

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@willie @marcoarment and I sort of know each other, in a way.. it's not a serious disagreement. But I am totally right for the record! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcoarment believe me, I respect that PHP is following a tradition in computer science where the crappiest *possible* language wins

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcoarment Really? This insane WordPress code I'm looking at in my editor isn't PHP? Interesting.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcoarment ooh, you gonna call PHP's im_very_angry_with_you_sir_take_it_back() function on me? eh? :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wpanswers HALF seems to cause the page cache generation time to stay stable across refreshes in incognito mode, at least.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wpanswers wp-super-cache is still wonky for me in IIS7. The "cache generated" date changes on *every* page load, even in incognito mode.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ColinYounger it's a judgment call, but I think some people can change their behavior, given sufficient.. motivation

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ColinYounger it gives me no pleasure, but it has to be dealt with. Social software is people, like 'em or not.

@longzheng the last time I looked at wp-super-cache it broke horribly on Windows, in subtle and painful ways
