I just learned about git add --patch, and I think I have something in my eye.

anyone have notes/audio/video of @evanpro's #osbridge session #diso

Invaders Must Die is a great album #oldschool #prodigy

I want Scott Pilgrim's bass guitar. Suweet Ricky.

Heading to walmart to buy Mario Kart. 9yo saved up dollars and change with me to buy it. Hooray for thrift!

thank you BOTH sets of neighbors for deciding that 7:30 am on Memorial Day is a good time to do your lawn work.

No matter how many times I see it, the opening sequence to Kung Fu Panda gives me chills. "His legendary skills... were the stuff of legend"

Trying not to think about the fact that my Dad needs bypass surgery. Parents aren't mortal, are they?

@unitedbreaks is jammin today

"In a time before caffeine (morning), two rivals enter the arena - only one leaves." Apparently coffee kicks Dr. Pepper's ass every time.

I ported @t's new base 60 code (from cassis) to perl: http://github.com/sivy/NewBase60 #diso #perl

@dotBen I hadn't - thanks. It's true that there is a starving artist vibe to the indie-advocate gig. What to do about that #open #advocacy

Apropos of my recent interview with Tantek Çelik about URL shorteners, I've ported his NewBase60 code (part of his CASSIS project) to perl. It's now found on github at

. This code converts numbers (in this case, dates expressed as days-since-the-epoch) into a base60 (sexagesimal) representation that's really short. For example, '1971-06-29' becomes '94', and '2010-05-26' becomes '45v'.
