Hey, guess who accidentally authorized his mother to be friends with him on Facebook! Guess! YOU'RE GETTING CLOSER.

For the first time in a week that I've actually had the time to write, all I want to do is play videogames instead.

Jesus, that first story on Obama's health care story site is JESUS CHRIST WHAT WENT WRONG awful. To think I had BCBS for awhile, too.

Hit by an annoying limitation in Postgres' GROUP BY clause.

Git is awesome, but sometimes git-svn is like a nightmare wrapped in burnt but still hot bacon.

Biggest cockroach I've ever seen. As long as my palm, so big that it thought it was cool to crawl around my counter-tops while all the lights were on.

Them: "No, editing old #rails migrations is just fine. We're in dev!" (3 weeks pass) "Hey, we're having a BUNCH of problems..."

Aw, MJ. I saw it in the news, right after reading about Farrah Fawcett. That's a really eff'd up day.

@odesk Don't friend clients on Facebook. Ever. #oTip

i must be going crazy. i can't override any methods in the Ruby OAuth gem.

Started to use the HTML5 doctype in personal projects. Most browsers don't seem to know the difference, but the ones that do...!

@eflorida made about 40k last year on oDesk. if you're willing to put in the effort, it's a good place to be.

trying to wade through the Photobucket API documentation is 100% Rage.

found Rails patch #1274 particularly useful, even if it's a WONTFIX.

@rosieblive I am, but I'm a programmer, if it makes any difference.

I am so cute!

Going to get some writing done today -- I say that every day, though.

@twitter now's not the right time to do maintenance on anything, and you know it.

I almost never talk about politics. Recently, started talking to someone I dated a long time ago. Somehow, talk about the election came up, and she said, "I voted for McCain. Not like I had a choice." I don't know if she's racist or just an asshole. Either way, I'm glad I'm not stuck with her.

wish I could filter NYTimes and Washing Post from search results. Too many "read this article with a FREE subscription!" gateways.

I spent like 30 seconds at a green light because I thought it was red for some reason. I totally zoned.

you want some cake? cuz I want some cake. dude, everyone wants some cake, right?

Yes! I got a good facebook vanity url! I don't know why I'm so happy about that.

I forgot my username to georgia power (georgiapower).com and they have NO way to recover it without calling customer service. >:(

Argh, ShareThis! - http://geekninja.blogspot.com/2009...

I may be addicted to video games!

Winter is going to be an expensive gaming season for me... 3 pre-orders already and rising.

I still use embedded script tags even when doing "unobtrusive" JavasScript. Am I really supposed to put one-offs into their own JS file?

RubyMine on Ubuntu? Install the Sun JRE/JDK. There is a big perf difference.
