Taco Bell and coffee. The Hacker What Hacks At Dinnertime.

RT @joestump: I do not want to find out how to be a vegan. If anything, I wish to be a better meat eater.

Decided to call my oft-mis-typed git command the "flying m" -=m

Hey @learnboost - the source for socket.io.js is incomprehensible to this non-Node js programmer. What options can be passed to io.Socket()?

What client-side JS techniques are folks using for long-poling / gevent-style real-time feeds? @jquery's load() doesn't seem to like it.

@joeydi Yup: http://t.co/CoBz5no0

I've long been flummoxed by long-polling. This lays it out well for gevent, python, and redis. TIL long polling!

@scalzi all the misunderstandings... Sinestro was just a leftie!

Task in @sprintly: 'get rid of that "render json as html" garbage on the app page. You're being too clever by half.'

A decade-and-a-half later, and I still tend to pick css colors in that 256-color #nnn range #oldnerds

@joestump It's true; but in the bubble that surrounds our business my grey head stands out from the crowd. It's easy to think that matters.

@mathowie … cause who do I have to impress? Just my wife. :-)

@mathowie For me the biggest validation (something I also found in "Start Small Stay Small") is that a "lifestyle" business is just fine!

dear @mathowie: as a 40yo just starting out as an entrepreneur, I was encouraged and validated by your Webstock presentation. Thank you.

30 minutes into redesigning a page on @pushcode and I seem to have completely lost the plot.

Finally less-ifying my .less file.

@brianoberkirch we're out of the habit of letting ideas stew. Twitter has trained us to kick them out before they're fully formed.

@joestump Wow, the court looks tiny. No wonder the majority of sports are better on TV.

Wow, @github and @stripe flaking out today? Bad day to be selling services to developers.

Can anyone recommend a good "web page thumbnail" service?
