@GlennF @marcoarment that is truly awesome, and I'll be visiting even more often now.

I'm really liking Day One. Picked it up for free yesterday and finding it fun and useful.

Neat trick: select a passage in the book I'm reading in iBooks, select "Share" > "Copy" and paste into Day One, complete with link to the book in the iBookstore.

@GlennF @marcoarment Don't laugh. Every local Ace I've tried has been staffed with experienced old-timers who know things.

RT @JordanRinke: We need less hackathons, more apprenticeships. Less bootcamps, more classes. Less rockstars, more mentors. Develop people …

@scalzi read God Engines last night. Very good, very different. Subversive on several levels. (Identifying them an exercise for the reader)

Ever want to just turn off that logger for a while in Python? Maybe while running tests or debugging? Even the CRITICAL messages?

Notice that the logging level contants (logging.DEBUG etc) actually represent numeric values:

Level       Numeric value
CRITICAL    50
ERROR       40
WARNING     30
INFO        20
DEBUG       10
NOTSET      0

On a whim I tried:

logging.getLogger('logger_to_turn_off').setLevel(100)

And bam, no logging, even the CRITICAL messages. Yes, most of you python nerds knew this, but I didn't, so I learned something at least!

Been thinking about my own assumptions/behaviors re: non-white-males in tech. Uncomfortable, but not uncomfortable enough yet.

RT @nrrrdcore: People who have attacked myself, @shanley & other women like us, this is what it's like to be on the other side: http://t.co…

@siracusa @marcoarment love jumpcut for the do-one-thing-well-ness of it.

Fun little idea: a blog disclaimer generator based on your current LinkedIn profile.

> "My opinions on [current industry] are my own and not those of [current employer]"

WTB: Auto-disclaimer based on LinkedIn: "I am employed by <employer> in <industries>; my opinions are my own".

@agiletortoise and VERY lean. (And over $9/lb yikes)

@agiletortoise cooked a bison steak for the wife yesterday - seared each side and then basically baked each side, came out GREAT

@bridgetkromhout @allspaw not that anyone cares but I've always used the Hobbit-like "OpsFolk"

@GlennF talk to #eveonline players for tips on harvesting tears.

RT @ettay: SO INTO THIS. RT @_DownToEarth: Laverne Cox as Wonder Woman. http://t.co/rlqy6sNvsT H/T @buhny

RT @howardtayler: Puns happen because bad people exploit security flaws in language.

Wow, long time no blog. What's going on here?

My brother is graduating top of his class from Full Sail today. Since I can't be in Florida, watching the live stream. Go @seanivy!
