@encosia he wasn't from twitter, he saw it on craigslist. I did ask him that.

@haacked you should quit in protest of Microsoft's monopolist practices. http://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=28

@wilshipley there's a line because it takes like 30 minutes per purchase. http://tinyurl.com/5pp6sh

@haacked did you enjoy the puppy-killing booth at your EVIL CORPORATE MONOPOLY PICNIC?

@mdhughes I totally forgot the Princess would kick your ass if you approached in attack mode in Karateka! Memories!!

@nihiliad "with PHP and Obj-C we don't just remember 1986, we're making sweet love to it." LOL, a gold-star favorite for you, sir.

@mdhughes Everything is "a compiler trick". Some are better magicians than others.

@mdhughes "Prefixes keep functions from different libraries separate." I remember this from 1986! Totally radical, dude.

@MBoffin let me get this straight. You're saying the name of my new app, pyPyedPyper is.. ill-advised ?

@omervk the Mirra is definitely best for me; fit is subjective http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001146.html

@wilshipley @curvyboom (praying docs don't get done, praying docs don't get done, praying docs don't get done)

@dflye I also hear Meat Is Murder, man http://tinyurl.com/56q36s

@wilshipley isn't alcohol poison?

@gruber dunno, felt unnecessarily cruel. Could be just me. Also, Markdown is teh win - using it as core of Stack Overflow http://is.gd/14hR

@jongalloway have you felt my Real Ultimate Power? http://tinyurl.com/6brnlq

@kevindente yeah, being on the wrong side of the code is frustrating. That's one advantage of open source: less 'splaining. See for yerself.

@gruber subverting what appears to be genuine concern for a luminary's health into some kind of weird corporate agenda conspiracy theory?

@booboojeebies Ain't come one, but many tine tanies! email me directly

@kneath that one seemed like a particularly low blow. Screw your good-natured health concerns! we must celebrate dogmatism at all times!

@FamilyDoctorMag maybe it's unreasonable, but I expect my gmail to work 100% of the time; email is sort of mission critical for me.

@gruber plays the blogger jackass card. Fair warning: you only get a couple of these in your Magic deck. http://is.gd/1443

@haacked here you go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misnomer

@haacked "TDD" and "Unit Testing": worst names ever? or just really bad names?

@jongalloway we are referring to ease of reading code; I wouldn't remove comments and check in. OR MAYBE I WOULD, MUAHAHAH

@kevindente you can play cowbell/tambourine as the Rock Band vocalist. Either hit the mic, or .. actually use them next to the mic.

@NathanBowers really digging your clean blog design! kudos! http://nathanbowers.com/

@kevindente by your logic, Apple should buy Psystar, maker of Mac "clones", too. Ridiculous.

@kevindente what is this "offline" you speak of? I am unfamiliar with it.

@haacked @shanselman haha! haha! haha!

@wilshipley why are you playing Haze? It got terrible reviews. Play something good! http://is.gd/12f0

@mdhughes I like to pretend AppleScript doesn't exist; it's just easier that way http://is.gd/11my

@hotdogsladies thanks, now I'm gonna have the Yes song "Roundabout" in my head for the next hour. SONG VIRUS, PASS IT ON KTHXBYE

@TehGrumpyDude interesting; I never see that friendly lock notification when I try to delete files through explorer, though

@wilshipley if they were endorsed by Apple you'd be all over them like a cheerleader's bare midriff

@anandiyer so what you're saying is that, at #oscon , bitches drink for free?

@kevindente YouTube seems to be doing fine; Google purchasing you is only the kiss of death for SMALL sites/companies.

@cadred yeah, CH is hit or miss, but that Minesweeper one was amazing http://tinyurl.com/3ylzwr

@kevindente oh yes, the solution to every problem.. a *framework*

@accordionguy *really* enoying your RubyFringe talk notes; recommended! http://globalnerdy.com/

@jongalloway is the MVP of my heart

@wilshipley you underestimate yourself, I think. You are the same guy who wrote "pimp my code", no?

@wilshipley apparently you don't have any friends because you think everyone sucks. I mean, everyone DOES suck, but it's so relative.

@haacked I got some 'constructive' feedback for you -- you suck.. at answering email! The Gu puts you to shame!

@fearmediocrity MSFT invented the mouse wheel, for example http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000865.html

@wilshipley I don't mean evil suit VC; I mean kindler, gentler advice and investment (monetary and otherwise) from a peer they respect

@wilshipley you getting richer (through stock buys, not software sales) doesn't help Apple; but more software startups would.

@wilshipley if you invest in a startup, you aren't a competitor, you get a cut of all their future profits. See: Y Combinator, etc.

@wilshipley IMO you oughta be investing in other Apple-centric software startups if you feel so strongly. Who does stock buying help?

@saraford travel power strips, don't leave home without one: http://is.gd/YHi or http://is.gd/YHk

@hci amazon s3 was down; twitter hosts images on s3. Probably not a great use of S3, actually, it's best with large assets

@ohunt I've always wanted a puma! But wait, I have one! http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000831.html

@marjoleink the Speed D7 is a fantastic deal at $370 shipped http://tinyurl.com/5qvcn9

@grava you're right; I was calling it on the EntitySet, results in MANY queries; calling it from the DBContext *does* = desired count(*)

@mrvacbob I agree, but HTTP/204 has the advantage of working for people with javascript off, too

@i386 netflix still returns 204 when I do a movie star rating accoring to my sniffer, so.. how incompatible can it be?

@importantshock when you're incompetent, you don't *know* you're incompetent (not you personally, I mean as devs/audiences scale)

@cajuntechie the *only* way to prevent 3rd party devs from screwing the user is App Store and Xbox Live Store sandboxes. You up for it?

@wilshipley and some people give away operating systems and apps, too -- for NOTHING! OMG!

@mdhughes Er, did you ever *use* Netscape 4.7 or WordPerfect 6? Methinks they killed themselves with, y'know, bad products.

@wilshipley well, obviously Wil Shipley is better than Christy Turlington. Can Christy Turlington options:NSUncachedRead? I DO NOT THINK SO

@mdhughes should be suspicious of every company, is sort of my point. Never understood the idolatry that goes on. I use MSFT, don't <3 em

@timoreilly we have 2 Dahon Vitesse foldable bikes and they ROCK. Alu frames, $400 shipped, though price has gone up.. http://is.gd/Y0J2

@trs_80 all 3 models (Linux, MSFT, Apple) have pros and cons. I see the Apple model dominating, as computers become fixed appliances

@jongalloway apparently you misspelled "excrement" as "excitement" in your last tweet

@i386 I, sir, am a lifelong student of the form of musical video composition, and I take great exception to your unseemly comment!

@wilshipley I want an embedded OLED playing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" on my tombstone. The ultimate rickroll, bitches.

@omarshahine quick, use your own advice on yourself!! http://www.shahine.com/omar/TipsForWorkingAtMS.aspx

@ben_hall if a developer constantly has "opinionated w/diff view" problems, s/he is working at the wrong place.

@kvanh I read Watchmen as it came out, that "graphic novel" blew my tender teenage mind-hole

@kebernet If you *haven't* read the Watchmen for some crazy reason, I envy the experience you're about to have: http://is.gd/WIW

@cshirky Ron Paul? Er.. no, wait..

@kebernet The Watchmen is, for me, is no ordinary "comic book", it's like the holy grail. Actual, y'know, *literature*.

@hotdogsladies does the beer taste like urine and band-aids?

@firefox_answers thanks, I am hoping 3.0.1 does the trick

@cjcraft sweet, thank you, I didn't notice that a 3.0.1 update was available! Applied.

@aperson when I say "adblock" I mean "adblock plus". I am not sure I want to be a human whitelisting machine for NoScript..

@uberfuzzy adblock, flashblock, web developer. That's it. I disable Firebug until I *really* need it.

@anandiyer hop on BART, go to El Cerrito Plaza station, walk four blocks to my house and fake plastic rock out with me. C'mon!

@nathanbowers but it FEELS so GOOD!

@jongalloway so you're using a prehistoric, pre-intel Mac. Congratulations, I hope you like crap. Sorry G4 "enthusiasts".

@jongalloway I do not think they are called "powerbooks" any more. You're giving us ign'int Windows programmers a bad name, sir.

@wilshipley please share the DVD you'll receive from his mom thanking you, because that is EPIC. I predict this guy makes national news.

@spatacoli DAMN IT MAN! $8.88!

@booboojeebies sa da tay!

@IDisposable the people DEMAND a blog entry on your clever background task ASP.NET programming magicks!

@kevindente that's very clever and it deserves a real blog post describing it. HINT HINT HIIIIINT
