That brief mention of PigLatin makes me remember Perligata -- Perl with Latin grammar: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~damian...
.@rgordon0 Wait, PigLatin is a programming thing? Oy. If there's a programming language called Ubbi Dubbi, please don't tell me.
Given how common it is in describing OO languages, is there a language that actually uses a hash delimiter, as in obj#method?
.@rerouse I don't think I have a strong preference, though I've always liked Smalltalk just having a space as a separator.
I always thought the use of a dot as a separator between object and method was a weird analogy to a decimal point.
This became "Noel is ranty" day on Twitter rather quickly. Although, @avdi & @searls, I am older than both of you and get off my lawn.
Apparently today is my day to agree with people about parentheses related programming topics.
Any day that starts with The Decemberists Calamity Song going through my head has at least one thing going from it right off the bat.
.@pragdave I once got delayed because somebody drove a luggage truck into the plane while we were boarding. Good luck.
And Monday starts with groveling for access to a conference room...
.@redsquirrel @jasonfried Tried that once in a high school Freshman game, ball was stolen by other team, I was benched.
I may have just set a land speed record buying the iPad version of @tweetbot. Yay!
RT @tapbots: How about one more thing? If this tweet gets retweeted 1000 times we'll release something brand new. http://tapbots.com/blog...
.@ryanbriones My experience on a large scale perl app was hands down the worst professional experience of my career.
Over/under on the number of times I hit my head on the shelf above the desk in the hotel room this week: 15.
As far as I know, my @mwrc workshop has sold out. I'm not sure if they have a waiting list. Thanks! Can't wait to see you there.
RT @dmoulton Looks like the @noelrap workshop at @mwrc is full. Not being offered anymore. // Yes, I think we hit the capacity of the room.
I don't think that it is customer friendly to make me cancel my online subscription via phone call. @nytimes
That's two votes for me accidentally lowering my chair as comic-relief. You must think my coworkers are easily entertained. Which is true.
.@fredlee Sitting on front edge of chair with legs bent back underneath. Lever is right above my leg. Okay, it's weird. Nevermind.
Jeez, just hit the lever again. I think that's four times in the last five hours. I should not be allowed near office furniture.
Why do office chairs all have the chair hight lever in a place where I can accidentally hit it with my leg and sink down to the floor?
Promotional note: my @mwrc workshop on Fancy OO in Rails is now more than half full. The conference looks great: http://mtnwestrubyconf.org/
It's hard to calibrate how paranoid I am that I will accidentally book air travel for the wrong days.
Out of curiosity: Say you attend a 3 hour workshop. What is your expectation of how much is hands-on vs how much is presented material?
Looks like my @mwrc workshop is about 1/3 full already. If you are, you know, interested.
Excited that I'll be doing a workshop: "Advanced Rails Design: Use Fancy OO Techniques Without Turning Ruby into Java" at @mwrc 3/17.
So, um, didn't get a chance for much feedback. How was the @geekfest talk? Felt like I went too fast at the end...
People in Chicago, I'm doing a presentation at @geekfest tomorrow about why you should try Smalltalk, RSVP: http://geekfest.gathers.us/events...
Okay, I bought a sublime text 2 license. Not sure it will become my 100% go-to editor, but worth supporting to see where it goes.
