No consecutive winners the closest was John Flynn with Week 5 & 7 which was split only by Vezquez.

Looks like Davis Freeberg wins this week. I'm in Jamaica though so Jimminy, can you please take care of administration again for the week? Thanks!

In all the time I've been an adult, I've never wrapped a single xmas present. I've always done something lame like use a gift bag, etc. Every year Lindsay tells me that she'd really like me to wrap presents - "It's the thought that counts." So this year I wrapped presents. :( They look like something a deranged 4 year old might have done.

I'm all thumbs when it comes to wrapping gifts, so it takes forever unless I used "cheats" like gift bags. When my wife and I would wrap the kids' presents she could do 5 or 6 in the time I took to do just one (and, yes, I WAS really trying!) Then I worked at Borders books one Christmas as seasonal help, and they put me on--you guessed it--free gift wrapping duty! I had all of the...

My mom could wrap presents professionally for Tiffanys or something. I mean, scary perfection that I have never been able to recreate, even going so far as to 'match up' the pattern on the paper when she folded it over (so you couldn't see the seam she would say). I am thinking of filming her doing it and making it as a how to video. Meanwhile, my father gets by with newspapers or leftover paper bags from grocery stores duct tapes / masking tape / leftover twine. I'm somewhere in the middle.
- Andrew Leyden
I too was once like you, until I got stuck in a Macy's for a long time (waiting on someone), and spent it watching the gift-wrapping people. It turns out that at least for rectangular stuff, gift-wrapping is really pretty straightforward. I kind of enjoy it now even though the Mrs. usually gets the credit for the stuff I wrap.

That may account for some of its popularity, Mark, but I think West Wing was popular for what marks a lot of Sorkin shows: excellent dialogue, fantastic mix of comedy and drama, supernal ensemble casting...and the extra for West Wing was being able to geek out over all that governmental stuff. The dialogue was so thick with it that repeat viewings reward you. Takes several times seeing an ep before you really feel you've gotten everything out of it.

- Fa La La La Lindsay
You don't have to adhere to any one thing. Even though my colors were inspired by Spanish Ranch style, the decor in my living room has items from Thailand, Morocco, Bali, West Africa and Ikea. =) Go with what you like. I wouldn't suggest copying something exactly from a book, but getting a glimpse of what speaks to you. To me, that works better than limiting to some style.
- Admiral Anika
Oh, and a moss-green sofa, looks best with light colors. Most of my friends have that color sofa and from eggshell white to buttery yellow walls it works. I've seen pale purples with that sofa color.

I can't help you with the color, but do yourself a favor and use Behr Premium Plus...excellent paint. Was recommended to us by a friend of mine that used to run his own painting business. We used their Chianti color and it only took two coats and it's a dark red. I won't use any other paint.

LA is the F2F capitol of FF right now.
- Spidra Webster
I'm seriously thinking about heading down to Austin during SXSW. I won't be attending, but I'm hoping to meet a few people there. I spend more time with you guys than I do with my RL friends.
- ha3rvey (free hugs!)
i drove through Dallas just last night for a wedding and reception. twice!
- Joe Silence is not Santa
You guys should create a Texas room here at FF so you can develop some unit cohesion (cue juvenile jokes).
- Spidra Webster
i like that idea.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
I like that idea, too. I'm going to give it a day or two to make sure someone hasn't created one already.
- ha3rvey (free hugs!)
From what I can see, there's no general TX group. There are individual groups for Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and Austin as well as "Trans Pecos Texas".
- Spidra Webster
we need a "FFers of Texas" room.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
I haven't met any. :(
- Alix Whitmire
me neither.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
so...nuthin'?
- Joe Silence is not Santa
I did a little digging, but I didn't find all-Texas group. I think it's time.
- ha3rvey (free hugs!)
I never met any FFers yet.
- imabonehead
IT IS TIME! *presses the button*
- Joe Silence is not Santa
which one of us? trying to avoid duplicated effort here.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
I was going to create one. I'm thinking public. What do you think?
- ha3rvey (free hugs!)
on the one hand, that seems fair. on the other, private would prevent loads of non-Texans from getting in and making a mess of things. i'm divided.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
*suddenly realises his waffles have burnt to a crisp*
- Joe Silence is not Santa
I would suggest public so others can peek in and set up meet-ups if they're traveling to TX. Not a Texan but met four FFeeps there this year ---->
- Laura B.
makes sense.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
Working on it now...

Harvey, with all the traveling you do for work, I'm gobsmacked you don't see more people. Do you ever get to LA?
- Derrick
Derrick, I've been to the LA area 4 times since I started this job. I haven't been back since I really got you know you guys.
- ha3rvey (free hugs!)
Hey, I need an invite to the FFers of Texas group!
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Done!

Just FYI, there is a general FF meetups group http://friendfeed.com/meetups

I haven't met any so far! Actually all my ff connections are complete strangers... people I would never recognize in real life, lol

Araçta İtalyan süper sporlarında da gördüğümüz bazı kıroluklar var. İçi bana 60 sonlarının amerikan muscle carlarını çağrıştırdı. Beni rahatsız eden, aletin muhtemelen görüntüden ibaret olması. Yani monokok üretilen sıradan bir araba olması kuvvetli bir ihtimal. Bir şekilde Rus kırolarına, çok yüksek fiyattan yüklü satışlar yapılırsa ülkede bu işe eski uçak endüstrisi filan da girer ki, o zaman görmeyin şenliği..
- Barış Atasoy
Gereksiz detaydan arındırılırsa bence orjinal ve hoş bir tasarım profilden yine muscle carları andırıyor.
- Barış Atasoy
Genelde seri üretim otomobillerde kafes monokok şasi kullanılır ve el işçiliği yok denecek kadar azdır. Ve seri üretim halinde banttan çok miktarlarda üretilir. Ancak bu, iç malzeme olarak Kit carı çağrıştırıyor. Bir de bunun robot kollarla kafes şasi olarka üretildiğini sanmıyorum. (2CV da bir kitcar sayılırdı, çünkü farklı şasi üzrine istenen kitler yapılabilirdi. ve onlarca türevi yapılabilirdi. -Ami,Dyane,Fourgonette,Acadiane,Méhari,Pony- bunlardan bazıları- )

Etox ağırlığı 1 tonun üzerinde, 125 HP 1.6 Lt Renault motorla yürümeye çalışan, tasarımı da bariz TVR T440 çakması bir arabaydı. Motoru ithal, en büyük eksiklik bu. Marussia ise kendi imalatı olan 300 HP V6 motorla yürüyor. Monokok şasi, özgün tasarım var arabada, Etox Zafer'den fersah fersah ilerde. Üstelik kişisel bir girişim olsa da arkasında ciddi bir devlet desteği var, sonraki...

Bu araçlar için, robotized production plant yapılmış ise, o zaman durum değişir. Çünkü sacdan monokok (yekpare) gövde, pek de öyle el yapımı yapılabilecek birşey değildir.

Their team was — finally — giving up, declaring defeat, and disbanding. So they headed down to the lobby of their building in Garland, Texas, to smile for the camera. They arranged themselves on top of their logo: a 10-foot-wide nuclear-radiation sign, inlaid in the marble floor."

This hits the nail on the head! - "Industry wants to rely on tried-and-true tools and techniques, but is also addicted to dreams of "silver bullets," "transformative breakthroughs," "killer apps," and so forth. They want to be able to operate with minimally skilled and interchangeable developers guided by a few "visionaries" too grand to be bothered by details of code quality. This...

Socket Benchmark of Asynchronous Servers in Python - http://nichol.as/asynchr...
"There has already been written a lot on the C10K problem and it is known that the only viable option to handle LOTS of concurrent connections is to handle them asynchronously. This also shows that for massively concurrent problems, such as lots of parallel comet connections, the GIL in Python is a non-issue as we handle the concurrent connections in a single thread. In this post i am going to look at a selection of asynchronous servers implemented in Python."
