finished laying out the zine. I'll print it in the morning; bad enough that it took me until almost 1:30 am to finish the layout.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 27, 2009 at 11:39:14 PM

@surlyshirley very cool! Not only that, it's the first tweet mentioned! Yay!

OH on the train: "She's having a hard time finding a job in her field, journalism." "She should go work for a newspaper." Doh!

hates drop shadows and wishes IE6 would die Die DIE so I can use PNGs with alpha transparency without nasty vicious hacks

@andrea I'll try not to repeat myself again next year. :-)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 26, 2009 at 1:49:19 PM

can't eat pickles. They make me sick to my stomach. Allergic to cucumbers, just like my dad.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 25, 2009 at 8:49:38 PM

@janbrasna can't read the rest of that, but I recognize "three beers". Enjoy!

is waiting for Flickr; no, wait, it just timed out. Been slow for hours....

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 24, 2009 at 10:46:59 PM

@surlyshirley I wish I lived in your neighborhood. All I heard in mine during the speech was the gnashing of teeth

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 24, 2009 at 10:36:51 PM

@surlyshirley the best part was when laser beams shot from Obama's eyes and vaporized half the remaining Republicans in Congress

@susankitchens Octoshape is a peer-to-peer protocol for audio and video; never got it to work myself, hope it works better for you

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 24, 2009 at 9:04:45 AM

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 23, 2009 at 5:31:08 PM

ironed out the last bugs. Now I just have to make it look pretty.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 23, 2009 at 5:30:34 PM

@epersonae Overnight Prints can do cards quickly if you can design them quickly. I got my cards there two years ago.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 23, 2009 at 4:09:38 PM

finally got it working.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 21, 2009 at 10:29:48 PM

@surlyshirley that's funny; we don't make chili often, but when we do, we add cocoa too, also inspired by Manhattan Chili Company

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 20, 2009 at 6:22:52 PM

is going to master scope and closures in Javascript one of these days. Alas, today is not that day. Bleah.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 20, 2009 at 4:21:31 PM

@surlyshirley yeah, I noticed that when I looked at her Twitter page.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 20, 2009 at 4:15:34 PM

@surlyshirley I've been working in NYC for a year and I have yet to notice a celebrity. But then I'm pretty oblivious to the concept.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 19, 2009 at 9:53:48 PM

@lachlanhardy very cool; oddly enough, I'm listening to Triple J right now on my new WiFi radio. Go figure.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 19, 2009 at 9:01:39 PM

is wondering how hard it would be to fix the shutter on the SX-70 that came in the mail today

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 19, 2009 at 5:12:29 PM

@surlyshirley sadly, no; I'm so exhausted by the end of Interactive that I doubt I could enjoy Music.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 19, 2009 at 4:40:35 PM

@surlyshirley I missed last year's because of the same stars. One of these years they'll align and we'll be there together, just like CHI98

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 19, 2009 at 3:38:10 PM

just made plane reservations for Austin. Spring break for geeks, here I come!

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 17, 2009 at 10:34:33 PM

had a wonderful time talking music with @surlyshirley tonight. It's going to be hard to to home.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 16, 2009 at 9:47:57 PM

@surlyshirley yay @bionicmary!

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 16, 2009 at 3:28:20 PM

just dropped @Jerseygrrrl off for her pole climbing class. I feel awful; she seemed so nervous.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 15, 2009 at 9:22:03 PM

is back at the hotel after a wonderful day with @surlyshirley and @Jerseygrrrl

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 14, 2009 at 7:33:52 PM

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 14, 2009 at 1:24:23 PM

has stopped for lunch. More than halfway to Columbus!

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 14, 2009 at 11:00:56 AM

is making a pit stop. Three hours down, seven to go.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 14, 2009 at 3:00:50 AM

@khimscho what, no run flat tires? BMWs have them. :-)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 13, 2009 at 4:29:13 PM

@dylanw going to get a site up at dylanwilbanks.com before SXSW?

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 13, 2009 at 10:49:04 AM

@Suw I can't understand why anyone would sell Canadian (or US) Coke; Mexican Coke, I can understand, since it's made with sugar the old way

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 13, 2009 at 8:47:33 AM

thinks roller skates and a sail would be useful in this morning's walk to work #wind

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 12, 2009 at 1:50:37 PM

@doublesided not here it's not; still two days to go :-)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 12, 2009 at 11:35:05 AM

@obiwankimberly we're hearing the same sounds here in NYC. Kind of unnerving....

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 12, 2009 at 7:44:28 AM

just passed a dead skunk in the middle of the road, stinking to hugh heaven

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 11, 2009 at 6:30:56 PM

just barely missed the 6:26. Bummer. 40 minute wait for the next train. :-p

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 11, 2009 at 12:31:04 PM

feels jumpy

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 11, 2009 at 10:44:26 AM

@effloresense I'll try to post it before the end of the week. The whole program will be in the FMU archives, but that might be excessive. :)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 11, 2009 at 10:23:01 AM

is listening to his Corn Weenie remix being played on WFMU. Yay!@

just had a really interesting conversation about social networking, microformats, and incorporating such into an upcoming project.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 10, 2009 at 4:23:19 PM

@mgirouard very strange that you can't get it to work; I popped my SIM out of my 3G and into our Android dev phone and it worked no problem

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 10, 2009 at 1:03:36 PM

@mgirouard you can use your AT&T SIM, but it won't do 3G; doesn't use AT&T's frequencies. Test using Wi-Fi.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 9, 2009 at 10:03:08 PM

can't watch MSNBC without @JerseyGrrrl noting the similarity in appearance between Keith Olbermann and Earl Camembert of SCTV.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 9, 2009 at 2:11:23 PM

is, despite my better instincts, signing up for Loopt. Boss is on it, mentioned it in today's marching orders meeting.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 6, 2009 at 9:26:16 PM

got a friend request on FB from someone I went to HS with. He's in my yearbook, even signed it. I have no memory of the guy. Early onset Alz

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 5, 2009 at 3:49:09 PM

hates filling out performance assessments. You tell me how I'm doing, don't make me go first. Bleah.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 5, 2009 at 11:56:13 AM

is really fed up with Git. Sorry, @lachlanhardy, but it's just not ready for prime time. Any VCS that makes me delete my working copy sucks

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 4, 2009 at 7:04:45 PM

thinks Obama should keep Guantanamo open. Perfect place to put Bush, Cheney, Gonzalez, Addington, Yoo, and all the other war criminals.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 4, 2009 at 3:06:41 PM

is having a time figuring out what is injecting dozens of b tags into the WordPress-based site I'm working on now. Not JS, not plugin. What?

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 4, 2009 at 6:40:01 AM

is headed out to shovel snow. Bleah.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 3, 2009 at 1:46:01 PM

thinks it's funny when he gets comments on his Flickr photos from his boss in the middle of the work day. :-)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 3, 2009 at 11:43:06 AM

@andrea is it ever a good day to piss you off?

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 3, 2009 at 11:40:11 AM

just saw a car on fire on Park Avenue. Didn't look like anyone got hurt, thankfully.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 2, 2009 at 5:14:46 PM

@lachlanhardy thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I appreciate the help. :-)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 2, 2009 at 5:01:05 PM

@lachlanhardy That's wonderful. Maybe a year from now they'll catch up to Tortoise SVN. Sadly, I have to use it today. ;-)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 2, 2009 at 4:47:39 PM

@lachlanhardy it's missing decent documentation aimed at non-programmers, integration with the Windows Explorer, and a good GUI interface

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 2, 2009 at 4:06:42 PM

Is underwhelmed by Git. Typical open source obtuseness. Feh.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 2, 2009 at 2:07:26 PM

just got e-mail from President Barack Obama. I guess that means I have his e-mail address now.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 2, 2009 at 11:12:49 AM

doesn't remember these people friending me on Facebook, but they must remember me, because they're members of a PSU group I joined. Sigh.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 2, 2009 at 10:59:35 AM

is irritated that FB won't let me join two geographical networks. I live on the Jersey shore and work in NY; why can't I belong to both?

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat February 2, 2009 at 10:48:31 AM

@doublesided looks like maybe the "Jones" is this burning, burning yearning, baby inside me; no wait, that's Motown....

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 31, 2009 at 9:08:38 PM

@doublesided well, judging by Wikipedia, they're all Republicans who loved Reagan. So that rules me out. :-)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 31, 2009 at 9:03:09 PM

@doublesided honestly, no; I've always identified more with Gen X. I think the movie "Slacker" convinced me. :-)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 31, 2009 at 8:52:26 PM

@doublesided I think the current term for people our age between the boomers and X is "Generation Jones" http://is.gd/5g0H
