@band, #chrome is stripped-down speedster. Hi performance, not hi fashion. Stable platform for G Apps, and good goalset for other browsers.

Peter Kaminski

Trying #chrome. It's slick.

@evan, thx for the well wishes re: Dreamfish! We should talk - I'm thinking there will be good synergy between us.

Back to civilization after long weekend camping with the family. Loved sitting around the campfire with family, & the high mountain air. :-)

@eekim, yes! or EBS makes AWS *practical* for many more, at least. I <heart> EC2, but it's still pretty technical to access. :-)

Peter Kaminski

Woo-hoo! Amazon Web Services releases Elastic Block Store = persistent EC2 disk vols! Great how-to from @esh: MySQL on EBS http://ur1.ca/3ac

@band, what, ASCII characters aren't real? :-) (I imagine @evan & @yune were talking about UTF-8, of course.)

Good climbing tonight on new all routes: two 5.9's, a 5.10a, and two 5.10b's. Warming up first with the 9's helped me do better on the 10's.
