@groby the _svn schmutz sprayed all over your source folders -- that's metadata. In TFS it's all stored on the server, but same concept.

@cisellis I just had to delete all data on disk and re-get all from SVN to resolve the cleanup error. All that from DELETING A FOLDER. Lame.

@casualjim no doubt TFS source control has its issues too, primarily that it is 100% server-based

@jongalloway (shrug) you pitched it to me as better and simpler in every way. Starting to agree with Larry. http://is.gd/iRl

@kevindente pay MONEY for software? I ask you with all due respect, sir, have you lost your mind!

@jongalloway all I did was delete some folders. Really not seeing, other than $, how this is "better" than Team System's source control.

@jongalloway I don't get what you find so wonderful about subversion/tortoise. It now demands that I do a "cleanup", errors when I try to.

@chadmyers what I really meant was "write a blog entry plskthxbye."

@makenai clever -- I think my wife @betsyphd uses that technique. Women are somehow out-thinking us when it comes to shoes! Who knew?

@chadmyers can you elaborate on "linq2sql considered provably harmful on large projects" please? linky?

@timbray this is my karmic revenge for your "get a mac" comment. Computers. Can't live with 'em, can't smash 'em into tiny bits.

@meyerweb isn't saying that the Amazon MP3 store UI "massively bites" pretty much writing off all web commerce? Seems unsupportable to me.

@jongalloway my enthusiasm for @zappos waned a bit when I had to go through THREE returns to get the right size. Just inefficient.

@waxpancake the real world flying penis griefer story is fantastic http://tinyurl.com/6rk8ud

@kevindente while listening to our podcasts, I realized I don't hear half of what Joel says during the call

@cisellis the root problem with alt.net is that people felt compelled to give themselves a group label. How 'bout just "software developer"?

@jongalloway that strawpollnow.com site .. I can't vote from the HTML, only from twitter? FAIL.

@eschaton the current GUI windowing model sucks on Windows, Mac, and Linux IMO. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000928.html

@bradwilson I mean lower resolutions for gaming, obviously. I'm not running my *desktop* at a non-native res. That'd be stupid.

@bradwilson @subdigital my computer draws 250 watts at *IDLE*. That ain't right. http://is.gd/hi8 compare to http://is.gd/hib

@penguintux oh definitely, Safari is an A-list browser in my book.

@jongalloway impressed that you read all the comments on the humane markup post. I barely made it, myself.

@kevindente remember, Google people aren't allowed to use Ruby = unsupported on their server farms

@jongalloway get a tablet pc already and join that cult. Light pens? Are you high?

@crazeegeekchick http://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html

@asbjornu exactamundo. I'd be a bit more generous and say rewriting wasn't truly mainstream until a couple years ago.

@iflyhigh I have workarounds, but I'm a purist, and I want it done the right way

@jongalloway excellent, thanks for checking with the Zune software. Imagine the Zune tattoo guy giving you a big sloppy hug. From me.

@levifig @n3wjack er, no, because I use flashblock. It ain't flash.

@kevindente I do try to group related stuff in a window by tabs, but I need 3 ws monitors x 2 browsers = 6 instances to cover all displays

@siracusa the temp workaround is to kill the process; firefox3 does have a great "restore everything after crash" mode that really works

@kevindente IE can have multiple executables; firefox can't. So I have no way (that I know of) to tell which browser window is the CPU hog.

@jbrinkman Dooce is self-absorption at a level so extreme it threatens to collapse into a black hole and destroy us all.

@wilshipley didn't I say that months ago? All part of its charm. Racism is hilarious, man! Money in the bank!

@kevindente I'm repressing it, but not for long. ps that's what she said

@mointrigue The XML cake is like, "Happy Birthday! ... f**k you. No, seriously."

@wilshipley I have an irrepressible urge to beat you up, steal your lunch money, and break your glasses now. Dork!

@mhinze I think the programmer I'm working with would literally kill me if we used vb.net. I'll bring that up on the podcast next episode.

@shanselman that's hilariously French-Canadian; I had a good experience in Montreal, though!

@subdigital kudos! Need more, let me know :)

@kevindente Users see the delivered letters, not the form letters with template code holes punched in them. MVC is a loose concept anyway.

@kevindente users don't "see" the .aspx markup that makes up the views in ASP.NET MVC, either, any more than they "see" CSS. Semantics.

@kevindente says badly designed HTML may require restructuring to get a proper view. I say the same exact rule applies to databases.

@kevindente what I'm saying is, a badly designed database is no different than badly designed HTML. Both may require restructuring.

@kevindente so if you realize your database is missing a column, THAT'S not changing the model to benefit the view? Uh..

@kevindente the problem with MVC is that there's a lot of interpretation; I do think HTML+CSS+Browser is a good example of it working though

@macfixer true, Panic shirts do run a little bit smaller than what I would expect. Worth knowing before you order!

@kevindente why doesn't CSS work for you as the view? It matches the original definition to a T.

@wilshipley PS I HATE YOU

@wilshipley so you're saying you're in tech.. and you're supporting this "Obama" fellow? Shocker. Shocking. Shocked.

@millenomi well, that's true. MSFT is their own worst enemy. Windows+Tab, fex, is disgraceful and should never have been shipped as-is.

@kevinmarks DRM represents corporate fear, something most individuals can't relate to, only large companies and people who run them.

@carnage4life most obvious Pilgrim post ever. Even he realizes he's phoning that one in.
