@spacehobo Shortness is not itself a vice; perhaps you mean 'non-comprehensiveness' or something?

Samuel Clemens Rewtapello Evan Prodromou

@evan One of the virtues of #WTFPL is it's short, unlike Apache 2.0 or CC0. Of course, WTFPLv3 is nearly BSD-length...

@vanden I normally prefer #TheKleptones, but #GirlTalk isn't half bad.

I'm going to need more long-sleeve shirts if I want to get through this summer weather. #climatechange

I wish #Banshee would notice there are items in its library with identical paths, and remove the duplicates.

@spacehobo Last I heard, RPython was "probably not worth it except for PyPy and demos". Hopefully that changes!

Evan Prodromou XMPP and the XSF , Захария Стургин

A lot of people feel this way. Now that identi.ca is stabler, and freelish.us reborn, XMPP is coming up my list.

@zooko I've been trying to dip my toes in the water of #notmuch and the #alot frontend for it, but it's really hard to leave mutt.

Turns out, I still have Grim Fandango in its original box. Time to see how far ResidualVM has come lately...

Just got off a phone call with a Tax Office employee who was cheerful *and* helpful. What is this world coming to?

Congratulations, USA, on being the only country learned enough to have a national ornithology day: the Superb Owl.

@evan Unfortunately, the only useful list-item style defined in CSS is 'do you want bullets, numbers, or nothing'. :(

Firefox is making <li> one pixel taller if it's numbered than if it's bulleted or unadorned. GAR.

It turns out, YouTube has actual, long-running series of original content. Niche content, sure, but as long as it's my niche, it'll do fine.

Hacker News is a great source of interesting stuff, but *man* do I wish it had a killfile.
