Negative tide time of year for people in the SF Bay Area. This weekend, May 26th is a good day for seeing exposed ocean areas — anemones, crabs, starfish, octopuses — and birds feasting on all of this. Unfortunately the summer negative tides are early in the morning.

Really? This change is only a minor version change??? "This function and the semantics of SDL alpha blending have changed since version 1.1.4. Up until version 1.1.5, an alpha value of 0 was considered opaque and a value of 255 was considered transparent. This has now been inverted: 0 is now considered transparent and 255 is now considered opaque."
Awesome water fountain at LGA with separate spout to refill bottles with filtered water. Also has a counter for how many plastic bottles of water have been saved from using the fountain. - http://leggett.tumblr.com/post...
"I wouldn't want to try "more vendors participating" approach because I know how much respect big tech companies have for startups. Not much. We have to get our work done before those guys get too interested. Most of them are super assholes. Like a few people who work at your company. ;-)"

"Ole, that's much more helpful than "It doesn't work in Safari." I honestly don't understand how anyone could leave that kind of message and think they're being helpful. Anyway I noticed that too. I didn't really worry about it because the dialog works fine in Safari when it's running inside Fargo. I will take another look and see if I can find a problem."

"The format seems very complicated. Could you post the conversion script? I'm thinking of writing something in the OPML Editor to get the ball rolling. It has a full scripting language that's good with OPML (as you might imagine)."

"Nah I'm not really serious. I wanted to contrast how Twitter solves the problem with the way HN does not. Not sure where the answer is. But the first question in thinking about it is applying the same approach Twitter used."
