@jongalloway do you have any URLs of OpenID sites I can sign in with InfoCard? All I see is "enter URL.."

@shanselman wow, I can actually *use* InfoCard / CardSpace for the first time! amazing! http://snurl.com/22q2q

@missrogue hope you're feeling better; yesterday was a very long day

@lazycoder liar! But awesome if true!

@joshholmes do we have to go to this winery thing? Rather hang out with my geek homies, personally. I don't even drink wine.

@migueldeicaza it's pretty standard demo fare, just high powered people delivering it and collecting the feedback directly.

@missrogue If I learned anything from Beyond Thunderdome, it's that we don't need another hero. Also, 2 men enter, 1 man leaves.

@missrogue yeah but he's unobtainable, the Nicole Kidman of mancrushes.

@wilshipley I see you've fielded a few questions in your day...

@missrogue same pattern at every session with a speaker. 75% of the questions aren't *really* questions, but "look at me" showboating.

@jamuraa even the expectation of "let me report this problem by filling out a form" is honestly too much for 99% of the audience.

@bddemir I no longer work at vertigo but I'll let my friends there know.. use http://www.vertigo.com instead

@jamuraa agree, but 99.9% of people aren't developers in the right discipline to fix any of the broken oss parts that are affecting them.

@jwcarroll you were able to watch the hasselhoffian recursion for ONLY 5 seconds? You're inhuman. I'm still watching it in my mind.

@a7an thanks! Caffienated Coder is a great blog, so I was happy to participate in the interview http://tinyurl.com/2xxxtw

@missrogue also, at MSFT, sometimes people become "known" by their email handles.. (scottgu) just ask @whurley about that

@missrogue you see, us developers, we have man crushes on other developers, their sexy giant brains turn us on. Well some of us anyway. :P

@migueldeicaza haven't announced it yet. I will when there's something substantive there. For now it's "Project X", for aura of mystery!

@lobrien that got a real world LOL. :)

@zelnox @btompkins to be fair to Scoble, it *is* a great demo. Sort of deepzoom + photosynth + space + the wonder of a child's imagination

@jongalloway MS research guy just brought up "Singularity", the .NET OS research project http://www.codeplex.com/singularity/

@wilshipley and if you don't believe me, ask my wife, @betsyphd -- she's got my back on this one.

@wilshipley get the automated cat feeders. These things CHANGED OUR LIVES. I am totally serious here. http://tinyurl.com/23eqzw

@anildash no love for the ladies in the house? Eg, Ms. Pac Man? http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000745.html

@kevindente yeah wishful thinking on my part. Imagine how much the MS OSS program would ROCK if the Evil Dead guy was in charge of it?!

@jdriscoll I dare to dream! MS Paint, oh how much you suck http://tinyurl.com/29e66y

@missrogue IRC can't be searched via Google; therefore it does not exist. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

@missrogue IRC? Is that what the kids are doing these days? Never heard of web browsers? :)

@hoogenboom fantastic link, thanks!

@mdavid met my first superfan. declined to sign chest.

@missrogue have you ever played the game "Star Wars: Rouge Leader"? :) http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/3637/starwarsrougeleaderfu2.jpg

@missrogue enjoying your 404 page http://www.horsepigcow.com/showme404

@jeffporten some of the stuff that shows up in the affiliate sales is just.. crazy. That's one of the craziest I've seen, though. Top 10.

@haacked I did-- I'll definitely be at the geek dinner, someone here will give me a ride. Geeks FTW!

@wilshipley I also hear Barack "Hussein" Obama is muslim. I look forward to exploring this in some depth with you and/or your guests.

@kevindente if you can't think of anything less zazzy than VS, honestly, you're not trying very hard. c'mon.

@wilshipley just me. Also, I have an insane hatred of all things apple and I like to talk about it at length. that ok?

@kevindente sshhhhhhhhhhhh! do not anger the opera users! shh!

@kevindente where's the zazz? I tried the TextMate windows clone and, well, don't see the appeal.

@al3x good to know. the mobile UI is otherwise pretty solid.

@accordionguy you should bloggerate what you miss, specifically. I'm curious. I don't grok the appeal of TextMate at all.

@shanselman like Bill Clinton keeps saying, he didn't have the nomination wrapped up until June-- so at least that long maybe longer.

@jongalloway you should ask for time off for the mvp summit, it's legit, like getting your MS certifications. Vertigo pays for that too.

@rkitson disk is the #1 bottleneck in any VM http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000714.html

@shanselman I recommend the 2.5" drives that are USB powered. I hate carrying power adapters. Costs a bit more but worth it.

@kevindente none of that seems worth the API limit and unreliability pains. I check my "replies" tab a few times a day, and hit F5.

@briandonahue actually, I am a fan of the iPhone, just not v1 of it: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000896.html

@wilshipley naw, you're just a big pussy..cat.

@eschaton he even mailed me directly (very nice of him btw). He really and truly doesn't see it.

@wilshipley true, reasonable/cheap pricing and quality product can be a win, and Tivo definitely failed the "reasonable pricing" test

@wilshipley I dunno, "good enough" is pretty powerful when combined with subsidized free-ness. See: Tivo's endless death spiral.

@jongalloway whatever happened to your Xbox 360? Get your fake plastic rock on! Bring the kids up right! It's a gateway drug to music!

@wilshipley the future.. is ADVERTISING! People do love the letters F, R, E, and E.

@waxpancake yeah Cliff Stoll has not aged well, sadly. His Cuckoo's Nest book is a classic, I remember reading it in Byte

@TheADOGuy Pepsi vs. Coke? People have killed for less!

@shanselman you are joking, right? http://snurl.com/22g1h is so comically unlikely it belongs in The Onion

@luckiestmonkey SACRELIGE! DEBASER! (If you are referring to Wil's unfortunate resemblance to Mr. Oates, that is another matter entirely.)

@wilshipley "My friends wonder why I call you all of the time / what can I say /
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away"

@hotdogsladies they see your every move. Love Hall & Oates. We had the DJ play "Your Kiss is on my List" at our wedding reception.

@migueldeicaza well, exactly-- paul graham is selling a fantasy, and telling us employment sucks. Is that true?

@wilshipley dude, you have a totally hot car. You're clearly not trying hard enough! http://tinyurl.com/2wvzuu

@wilshipley so.. hitting on dames via twitter isn't a viable dating strategy? DAMN IT!!

@betsyphd everyone welcome my extra special lady friend to twitter!! (ps ixnay on the oreswhay)

@wilshipley you ought to blog this one if you want change

@wilshipley "I WAS ONCE A JAVA PROGRAMMER FOR SUN." now that was just mean.

@anildash Read My Lips: Twitter *will* flame out in 2008! Oh yes! It will! http://tinyurl.com/yol3lb

@wilshipley I actually respect Paul Graham quite a bit, just not his latest essay.

@haacked did you almost let your domain expire? that is some evil, scary stuff right there. I registered mine for 10 years to be safe.

@omarshahine that's what you get for following your hairdresser's tech advice. Also, epic find on that 1-ft power cord BTW.

@omarshahine not all captcha is entirely cracked per se; many think the Google one was likely relying on a human labor farm (timings ,etc).

@lazycoder good luck on the job hunt, hope you find a happy place. The difference between "Classic" Coke and "Classic" ASP : one's not.

@omarshahine bleargh, Mochi is so disgusting. Pah. Feh. Wife loves it though.

@anildash dang, I knew something was up when I was invited to the "caucasian" team

@shanselman nice post, but dude, those screenshots are hideous (horrible ghetto fake shadows). Do it right: http://www.windowclippings.com/

@wilshipley sigh. Don't you watch MTV cribs? First: the bedroom is "where the magic happens". The boom boom room is for entertaining!

@shanselman : start anywhere. do SOMETHING.

@aanttila see, I told you Apple keyboard layouts are The Devil. But would you listen? Nooooooo

@greghughes I am totally serious, I'm a huge Neil Patrick Harris fan. When I Met Your Mother, Harold & Kumar, etc. Legen.. DARY!

@rjray @blowdart exactly, lol. "why is everybody pickin' on me?" aww. Poor Dave.

@greghughes OMG You played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Neil Patrick Harris! ALLOW ME TO TOUCH THE HEM OF YOUR GARMENT SIR! PLEASE!

@wilshipley Every programmer has reported his bugs as "bugs in the compiler." where is the famous article I'm remembering about this?

@waxpancake but the view stats are staggering and clearly wrong. YouTube ought to be able to answer the "why"; their leaderboard!

@waxpancake mystery of the Hot Hot Sex video http://tinyurl.com/2qk46l - I veer between "why" and "who cares"

@wilshipley next time you come over, it's "Fried Green Tomatoes", followed by "Beaches", then "Steel Magnolias". Bring your hanky!

@cisellis I said "with the OS". Can you name one open source anything that's in Vista? Compare to OS X.

@shanselman are you kidding me? GNU/Linux, obviously

@shanselman the problem with Micro$haft Windoze on a MacBook is the bizarre keyboard and touchpad layout. http://tinyurl.com/2tahe7

@wilshipley before I read yours, that was the best I had read. You really should read it. It's funny and moving. Wasn't his cat, anyway!

@choosetheforce that last line of the camo cat eulogy gets me every single damn time

@wilshipley read about Camo Cat. Warning, it will make you cry like a bitch. http://www.cramper.com/log/logs/jul132005/jul132005.htm

@wilshipley relax, I watched your presentation, I know the straight dope on the Google Content Network.

@wilshipley hear hear! 25 minute talks maximum! +1! +2^16! +infinity!

@haacked I like WinSplitRevolution so much I would have sex with it if I could. Makes large monitors actually work FOR vs. against you.

@kevindente oh, there's no question the first 1/2 of Joel's post should have been removed entirely. I just skipped down to the action.

@wilshipley no apple logo, NO SALE!

@josephgrossberg though to be fair if your name is "John Smith", then it's probably the only way-- need metadata to find

@josephgrossberg the problem there (IMO, obviously) is that you become *too* findable.

@shanselman IM contact list zero. Done!

@wilshipley Alan Kay is a God

@shanselman why isn't your site a permanent torrent seed for your own torrents? Still a lot of potential savings.
