People who are excited about the return of "track": http://friendfeed.com/search...
err, what is track? I know they just announced realtime search. - Richard Akerman via BuddyFeed
Yeah, I'm a noob. Please inform me. Something tells me 'Track' will yield random results in Google. - beersage
FriendFeed Makes Its Search Results Real-Time Too - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
"@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

Djangobook Chapter 3: Views and URLconfs - http://www.djangobook.com/en...
"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.

What it takes to drive IBM Lotus Connections adoption in the enterprise
"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. I need evidence from companies that deployed Lotus Connections that the sky did not fall!” - Daniel J. Pritchett via Bookmarklet
"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

Used #Sharepoint wiki to take notes in a meeting & now a fellow participant wants me to sit in on his group's collab./strategy session. Woo!
Now I need to identify some coworkers who'd like to join the 2.0 Adoption Council with me: http://snurl.com/l7x0e - Daniel J. Pritchett
Installing VirtualBox, Ubuntu, Python, and Django all in one night. I hope.
The VM's name is "loonix" - Daniel J. Pritchett
I gave up after sevreral hours. The VM locks up halfway through any package download. Not sure if I should blame my network card or the VM or Ubuntu. I went back to running Django on Vista for now. I wasn't looking for sysadmin practice, only a smarter dev environment. - Daniel J. Pritchett via iPhone
might recommend installation of Apache/MySQL/Python stack directly in Ubuntu, because there are standard and widely used packages available - Mike Chelen
My problem is Ubuntu having a complete lockup when I try to use the Ubuntu system update, it's way too early for me to consider which dev stack I'll install on my broken VM. - Daniel J. Pritchett
sounding like a Virtualbox issue, do all VMs experience similar problems? vista should be okay for development too, if the software stack is running okay there already. otherwise might try different VM software, such as Qemu or VMware - Mike Chelen
The weird thing is that this laptop's wifi chip has given me lockup problems in Vista and in Ubuntu, at least on this home network. Could that sort of thing carry over through Virtualbox? I'm a bit skeptical because VB presents my network connection to the guestOS as a wired connection and even when the guestOS locks up there's no problems caused in the hostOS :( - Daniel J. Pritchett via IM
I haven't tried any other VMs yet, just got Virtualbox last night. Maybe I'll try again later using VMWare or something - Daniel J. Pritchett via IM
since the problem is severe enough to lockup the host system, it could be causing problems for the VM software itself, even if both don't occur at the same time. any idea what the source of the crashes are in vista? if the hardware itself isn't faulty, maybe dual boot would be a good alternative - Mike Chelen
I fixed the vista crashes by turning off ipv6 and 802.11n. Vista hasn't crashed in 6 months. Ubuntu crashes the VM but isn't impacting the hostOS (vista) at all. - Daniel J. Pritchett via IM
it must be something related to the VM then, does it occur only with that image or with other Virtualbox guests too? if so then VMware or Qemu are the best bets, there is also a nice Colinux based package called ubuntu portable remix http://sourceforge.net/project... - Mike Chelen
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

Connected - Jive SBS Rollout: Worst Practices
"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. Pritchett via Bookmarklet
"Disable blogs. Nobody wants to share their opinions, anyway." - Daniel J. Pritchett
"Force participants to request new groups. Self-serve capabilities are too enabling." - Daniel J. Pritchett
"Don’t bother showing users when to use Jive SBS vs. some other application. Give them too many choices. They’ll just use email that way." - Daniel J. Pritchett
"Create a space for every permutation of your organizational hierarchy – try to mimic your intranet structure." - Daniel J. Pritchett
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

Collaborative Thinking: Communicate The Mission In Turbulent Times - http://mikeg.typepad.com/percept...
..... 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
All Abstractions Are Failed Abstractions - http://www.codinghorror.com/blog...
"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
