• 14:42 definitely not going to @ToorCamp, but I'm trying to go to @NeighborCon #
• 17:54 . @willandbeyond that reminds me of chlorine trifluoride (same blog no less) bit.ly/2X5wyb #
• 18:05 I'm probably going to flee my computer soon-ish to play some board games in Silver Spring bit.ly/AluNB #
• 18:31 I will forever know #squarespace as "the people giving away iPhones". I have no clue (or interest in) whatever else they do (if anything?) #
• 23:34 @mendel I reccomend using GNU ddrescue to extract as much of an image as possible #
• 01:09 I'm excited about the arrival of my copy of www.filamentmagazine.com/ although I haven't read it yet #
• 01:56 @sweaterjunkie everyone hopes for a free iPhone #

• 15:46 ♻ @ciphergoth Security fail: .NET 3.5 makes Firefox insecure. To fix: is.gd/YjJd Microsoft never cease to amaze. #
• 22:22 .@angelixd goto is pretty essential for semi-sane exception handling in C #

• 14:25 @angelixd I don't think we can call what we do "commuting." "Rolling over" is probably more accurate #
• 15:30 Apparently Fedora Core 11 is out the door. Im going to wait a bit before trying to upgrade, or maybe blow everything away and install Debian #
• 22:25 @willandbeyond yep, I have a bike. I got to ride it a tiny bit before I left. Need to check with chiropractor before using again... #
• 22:54 Housewarming thingy is set for Saturday, 6/20, with my usual board game bias. Facebook invitations sent. DM/e-mail if not on that list. #
• 23:06 .@Jadxia Interesting?: Checkers was solved two years ago. Perfect play ends in a draw. Abstract bit.ly/gdAaK pdf bit.ly/ztqkD #
• 23:15 @cunningminx dubious comic book quote: "Everything goes better with bukkake" (from: Desolation Jones) #
• 23:57 .@angelixd The search space is much too large for naive algorithms. The cleverness is in the time-space tradeoff and GHI problem (see ref 17 #

• 11:43 @misscalico you're now on wefollow.com/tag/bdsm and seemingly in the right place #
• 20:12 I made a bunch of phone calls today and accomplished my goal of making several doctors appointments #
• 23:55 I could use more friends that I feel comfortable asking to hang out randomly. I know lots of wonderful people, though. #
• 00:03 @madcatdisease who's your cable provider? I know on RCN, G4 is only in premiere or a-la-cart. Comcast seems similar #
• 00:12 also, I'm bummed out by the death of Rajeev Motwani. I mostly knew him for Randomized Algorithms bit.ly/lgOVG #
• 00:28 earlier posting should have read "If it's okay for me to randomly ask you about hanging out, please say so!" I tend to be timid/shy #

• 05:19 FAIL: made it to airport. no other humans detected. could instead be at SJI party. argh #
• 10:22 on plane. It's been a good trip. Of course I wish I had spent more time in SF and seen more people, but oh well #
• 15:11 @guernica8 woohoo! #
• 17:53 @sarahdopp picturephotopixpicture!? #
• 17:55 Landed in DC. Plan: eat dinner, meet J and others for UP @ AMC Hoffman #
• 18:25 @bs I almost wore that to airport, then switched due to worrying about TSA maybe reading #

• 15:24 Managed to extract all but 4MB of data from corrupted SDHC card via judicious use of ddrescue. Now backing up before attempting recovery #
• 20:24 @furrygirl depends on what you're up to? I'm leaving for DC late tonight #
• 22:27 Playing board games with the folks from sfgames.org #
• 01:27 I'm going to take a less painful route: eat dinner, take train to SJC, and eventually get back to DC. Cirque X sounds awesome but back hurts #
• 03:02 going to call cab for 3.5mi from caltrain to airport terminal. Comapny's paying and I have luggage+back pain. Maybe sleep 4hrs in terminal? #

• 06:47 50+% of my time at $job this week has been spent on meetings, which is good but also a bit frustrating (need to discuss vs. need to code) #
• 20:05 I still need to decide what to do tonight and tomorrow night. It looks like I'll take a cab very early/late to SJC after that #
• 03:29 Swanky Caltrain is swanky (I can haz electricities) #
• 03:31 Also, trying to use ddrescue to attempt to recover data from an SDHC card via a USB reader. It seems that the device is internally retrying? #
• 03:39 Gr, Twitterberry's stitching together of history (to look back 200 tweets) is buggy. I'd fix, but no source makes it inconvenient #

• 22:07 Caltrain: "all northbound and southbound trains are stopped indefinitely" train pulls up minutes later but I think I'll stay in Sunnyvale #

• 21:45 I'm in SF for the evening, current plan: finish dinner and then head to whore-a-palooza (part of the sex worker arts festival) #
• 03:58 Apparently I get to choose between spending Friday night in SJC or flying home on standby. Caltrain doesn't run when I need it. #

• 04:13 @furrygirl twitpic.com/68lg9 - an extraordinary cake I saw the other night #
• 04:17 Met another couple coworkers tonight post-faire. Will meet most of the rest tomorrow. For now, sleep after a good, long weekend #
• 12:27 have been installed into a cubicle in Sunnyvale. Feels weird, but kind of nice to see people #
• 02:01 Upgrading from TwitterBerry 0.6 to 0.8 is a major improvement. Woo for development #

• 14:57 @Jadxia that's the thing, I've been largely offline since Wednesday. Hard to investigate with available time and resources #
• 17:39 Running a couple errands and then on to #makerfaire #
• 19:14 My mission: acquire one theramin kit #mf09 #makerfaire #

• 05:21 visited @noisebridge and @dnalounge tonight, about to rest for a bit and then @makerfaire in the morning-ish #
• 00:09 hrm, there seem to be some shenanigans with my twitter account. evil link posted and pass changed? #
• 01:18 It's raining artichokes here at valencia and 21st #
• 01:22 And now a melon: cantalope and honeydew. Police now being called #
• 01:42 @sweaterjunkie I'm totally serious. Still waiting for the police #
• 01:46 Operator: "It's the Mission, sir. It's very busy right now." #
• 02:37 OH: "ketamine milkshake" #

• 18:29 Gamescape on Divisadero St is a ridiculously nice #boardgames store. Nothing as nice near DC, AFAIK. Dream Wizards is the best we have, yes? #
• 05:21 visited @noisebridge and @dnalounge tonight, about to rest for a bit and then @makerfaire in the morning-ish #

• 14:15 Boarded my first flight. I should land in San Jose in about 8 hours, then continue to San Mateo for #makerfaire #
• 17:24 @angelixd I expect to land at 7:17pm, so I might be in SF around 9? Still not sure how SFO got switched to SJC but I failed to catch :( #
• 17:30 layover: I'm at the gate for Salt Lake City. The San Jose one's outlets are full already. SLC has lots of old white people, no laptops #
• 23:41 Made it from airport to Caltrain. Hopefully soon I can stop being "in transit" (estimated total: 12+ hours) #

• 12:01 Heading out to Amazon's Start-Up Tour bit.ly/oLyoI #

• 11:28 Saved: Patchwork - Web-based patch tracking system: listens to mailing lists tinyurl.com/36ddf8 #
• 15:03 Are undergrad classes discussing memory issues in concurrent programs yet? I recall only "use synchronize keyword in Java" #
• 00:35 @IdentityWoman issue with blog search engines is "what makes good results?" AFAIK Google favors relevance and Technorati favors timeliness #

• 16:17 Test::Valgrind looks most useful for perl with XS (via @piers) #
• 20:36 Picked up my new bicycle, when I was just expecting to shop for a helmet. Yay for happy surprises. #
