Hang on a minute - don't all you male, geeky types go calling my beautiful Kelli a spammer ! She looks absolutely stunning. And she told me she really liked my posts. And she told me she wanted to be friends. I am her friend and she is mine.So there. - Andy C
That was a spammer? Whoops... Thought it was too early for that. - Vince DeGeorge
richarddawkins.net - That said, the comments on the site are generally able to give additional links to some of the more complex scientific references. - Adam Wilcox

“What an incredibly interesting and flawed time we're living in.”
"One of the interesting things is that it doesn't have to be the definitive microblogging platform. To my knowledge it's the first significant roll out of software supporting the OpenMicroBlogging specification (http://openmicroblogging.org/). If that takes off, there could be clients in whatever language you like, and they could _all_ talk to each other." - Michael C. Harris
I take it she's not yet old enough to appreciate the irony of toilet art - Craig Thomler
She'll probably do a better job than you :-) Please post a sample of her work for comparison purposes. - Andy C
We have a small second toilet that was originally painted light blue. One day, I came home and it was painted in a rather fetching 'tan' colour. My wife asked me what I thought and I instinctively blurted out 'God - it's horrible. It looks like the H-block dirty protest (where IRA prisoners daubed their cells with excrement).' She nodded and said 'Hmm - I agree and it's not quite what I expected for 'butterscotch''. The next day, I came back and the toilet was completely repainted (white). - Andy C
Craig, do 14 year olds get irony? It's hard to tell, they don't talk much. - Michael C. Harris
Andy, I'm uploading as we speak :) And I want you to find an image right now to make a stencil on that white wall. - Michael C. Harris
"Sourceforge.net has announced its 2008 Community Choice finalists, and includes a wide range of projects that I'm seeing for the first time. Sure, there are old favorites like OpenOffice and Firebird, but when was the last time you used Sphinx (SQL full-text search engine), FreeMind (mind mapper), or Habari (next-generation blogging platform)?" - Michael C.

“http://laconi.ca is down. Download: darcs get --partial http://laconi.ca/darcs/. The source is on the same server as the web site, so it's not available at the moment either. If developers are interested, #laconica on freenode (though it's quiet now, with no-one "official" there).”
"With Twitter's, let's say, not so great, uptime record lately, I think it is time the Twitter API gets codified and Twitter clients start supporting different API endpoints." - Michael C. Harris via Bookmarklet
Andy, I did consider the wording of this very carefully, but then I thought I'd leave the line open for you :) - Michael C. Harris
'Longest standing' or 'best' would have had a certain symmetry. Seriously though, I love delightful ambiguity and word play like this. - Andy C
Been a 'best man' three times. Top tips. Do not make any reference (even humourous ones to previous relationships). It goes down like a lead balloon. Also, ignore all that so-called advice about abstaining from alcohol. In moderation, it's the only way you'll get through it. Leave your wallet at home (but remember the rings). Much to my delight, kind people bought me drinks all night long. - Andy C
Good advice. I need it. The only other time that I've done it was for my brother. I haven't spoken to him for years now. - Michael C. Harris

“My 14 year old niece, who I haven't seen for years, is coming to stay for 3 days. She doesn't eat vegetables. We don't eat meat. Meal time is going to be interesting.”
"The problem, of course, is that “gay” does not always mean what the AFA wants it to mean. My friend Kyle reported this morning that sprinter Tyson Gay won the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials over the weekend. The AFA ran the story, but only after the auto-correct had “fixed” the article.
That means — you guessed it — the track star was renamed “Tyson Homosexual.” The headline on the piece read, “Homosexual eases into 100 final at Olympic trials.”" - Michael C. Harris via Bookmarklet
"ISO will examine the appeals. Let’s bear in mind that a favorable outcome for the appeals would mean, in effect, ISO acknowledging that they’d made a big high-level mistake. And then let’s not hold our breath waiting for transparency or neutrality." - Michael C. Harris via Bookmarklet
"The Telstra-iPhone saga is finally over, with both companies confirming the highly sought after phone will be sold by Telstra within a fortnight.
The issue of whether Australia's biggest telco would be excluded from selling the new 3G version of the iPhone had been raised many times over the past three weeks, because No.2 telco Optus and No.3 Vodafone both confirmed they would have it." - Michael C. Harris via Bookmarklet
