@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

what does indie mean? http://bit.ly/bXbKna (comment on @dotBen's tweet.. on Buzz.)

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'.
