err, what is track? I know they just announced realtime search. - Richard Akerman via BuddyFeed

"@Eric - It would be a lot more useful to you if the search had been techcrunch likes:1 comments:1 that would’ve tossed out 90% of the chaff. That said, I understand why MG didn’t do that - it wouldn’t look nearly as fast with 10% of the flow." - Daniel J. Pritchett

"You can do that with Django (and we’ll tell you how in Chapter 7), but one of Django’s core philosophies is that URLs should be beautiful. The URL /time/plus/3/ is far cleaner, simpler, more readable, easier to recite to somebody aloud and … just plain prettier than its query string counterpart. Pretty URLs are a characteristic of a quality Web application. Django’s URLconf system encourages pretty URLs by making it easier to use pretty URLs than not to." - Daniel J.

"I am getting resistance and concerns from various groups about the adoption of social software. The groups feel that keeping these tools will open the flood gates of non-productive communication and information.

"They presented use cases to the legal department to help them understand how purging content so frequently would defeat the purpose of the system. They settled on applying the same use policy and code of compliance that they use for email." - Daniel J. Pritchett

The VM's name is "loonix" - Daniel J. Pritchett

I'll have to test other virtualbox guests to be sure. The sad thing is I'd really rather just get started doing django dev regardless of environment. I'll have to put this on the back burner. - Daniel J. Pritchett via IM

"The reason the middle class struggles financially, writes Kiyosaki, is because they acquire liabilities that they think are assets and because every time they take a step up financially, they only increase their spending." - Daniel J. Pritchett via Bookmarklet

"I had the best time writing these. Enjoy. Structure Make the login process as painful as possible. Assume that your Jive Social Business Software (SBS) environment is only about delivering and consuming content, and not also about connecting and collaborating." - Daniel J.

Time for me to go cry in a corner while I start to figure out how to avoid/undo these here at work. - Daniel J. Pritchett

..... Kullman's third crisis leadership principle: Communication is key. "I'm a firm believer that there is a direct correlation between growth and the success of our communication. When we have an aligned team that understands" very clearly what the goals and the tradeoffs are, "that's when things can absolutely happen," Kullman said. - Daniel J. Pritchett

"To its credit, Linq to SQL is quite flexible: we can use strongly typed queries, or we can use SQL blob queries that we cast to the right object type. That flexibility is critical, because so much of our performance depends on these quirks of the database. We default to the built-in Linq language constructs, and drop down to hand-tuning ye olde SQL blobs where the performance traces tell us we need to." - Daniel J. Pritchett
