@PARCinc I really liked the timeline there at the bottom with the various technologies developed.
ghc great blog posts on #ghc10 sessions at http://ow.ly/2ModP and notes on our wiki: http://ow.ly/2Mo80 add your notes!
timbray Variation: “There are only two hard problems in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.”
reading @griffey’s tweet about iOS @wordpress app crashing and @wordpress’s tweet about a new version at same time. @griffey has some power!
@PARCinc, hopefully tweeting that link out wasn’t a problem?..
@PARCinc best I remember twitter suggested I follow, I clicked thru to website from profile. 40-years on the image carousel on homepage.
So posters at academic conferences, where do the boards/stands come from? Are they from of the hotel? 3rd party company that rents them?
Wow! 40 years of @PARCinc, http://www.parc.com/abou…
summerMistine GHC 2010 stats: 960 students, 2147 attendees, 280 schools, 29 countries, 630 speakers, and infinite fun! #ghc10
Making some screenshots with @balsamiq for my #WEBD4950 class’s homework assignment. So far so good!
@OmniFocus any idea if the 1.8.1 update fixes the swissdisk issues?
@emilylewis very cool, been teaching web development for a few years now, enjoying it.
There are days that it’s easy to forget that we’re on a ball of dirt hurling around the sun at amazing speed, today not one of those. #fb
@MattWillisDC, @mrwtn865 and I discovered a bit ago we each had writing link manager on our long-term todo lists. He actually has code going
@mrwtn865 No, because then you’ll want tomcat installed. Maybe aim for Dec? @mattwillisdc
mkirschenbaum IMLS National Leadership Grants announced: http://bit.ly/dlGyvT Preserving Virtual Worlds to continue with a major second round of funding.
@emilylewis How’d your first class go? Hopefully well!
Hope all the #ghc10 goers have a great time this week!
@MattWillisDC Just saw that xmarks was shutting down, but thanks for the suggestion… :(
OH: “just get a dictionary and some python”
@maxey2005 I can’t say too much, while I’ve been to more than one game, and the first one was sometime ago, I haven’t been in ages :( .
@maxey2005 first ever or first for the season?
ActiveState Fun fact: list of Python packages that depend on “lxml” http://bit.ly/amIPrE - there are over a hundred of them! ^SR
so, just how much technology works for what it does because no one using it knows enough to do anything to break it?

simonw The Web for me is still URLs and HTML. I don’t want a Web which can only be understood by running a JavaScript interpreter against it.
@derickr Thanks, working now. I’m probably a little late to the xdebug party, but like it so far.
so I seem to have the complex part of xdebug working (remote debugging), but not the simple part (stack traces). #osx #php #fb
@obiwankimberly not going to be at #ghc10, but if you don’t find someone there, would be happy to talk about apache issue and webex if need.
@brownorama Hum… annotated drawings, Commun. Design 3rd edition going to be a family affair?
@summerMistine that doesn’t sound good!
UndercoverUX It takes a little while to ship thousands of dead trees around the globe. Give it a few days and enjoy the suspense!
Hum, it’s times like this that make me wonder why @VZWSupport is open limited hours for contracts and 24x7 for prepaid. #websiteproblems
@CharterJeremy Was surprised at his comfort level working with my mac, :D, and was smart enough to not push the issue on my surge protector.
@CharterJeremy Said he tightened up some of the cables and the ground outside… Still look several resets to get it up and going.
@CharterJeremy It wasn’t when you wrote, but after the tech came it seems to be working. Didn’t use it long before moving on to other things
my the technology dies day, has expanded into whole week, maybe there’s something to @elbrownmcne’s theory on education and technology use.
lgvelazco Holy cow, Dreamweaver creates some truly awful html.
@XRDS_ACM Thinking that’ll be a good rental, grab some friends and talk though the whole thing. ;)
@CharterJeremy Right, but when my power comes back so does yours. :)
@CharterJeremy … and B) there’s no accountability by @Charter to ever fix the issue long term other than, oh you’re back now.
@CharterJeremy It’s most the fact that A) it happens everytime the power goes out. …
@CharterJeremy This would be in Cookeville, TN (38501) right? I’ve also chatted with @CharterDylan about an issue in (37015) in the past.
you think I could get charter and frontier in a race to see who could get a tech to my place first? #fb
with all the talk of self healing networks, in ~10 hours, couldn’t @charter figure out that some network nodes were gone? #beproactive
Why is it that everytime the power goes out, my @Charter service goes down? Now it is taking an tech to come fix it.
On a more serious note, looking forward to making use of the exercises and the topic arrangement next semester. (cc: @brownorama) #fb

@ZicklePop Yes updated to v6. Been a @ParallelsMac user since I got an Intel mac. @elbrownmcne, however, switched from Parallels to Fusion.
got a twitter reply from @OmniOutliner and a reply from the great @OmniGroup support ninjas (re: @OmniFocus), it’s a good @OmniGroup day!

Heads up @VZWSupport, in 2~3 years you’ll be getting >= 1 request for info on phones with software updates not depend on OTA or carrier.
