@christhilk @LionelatDell - I think I'm still at work because it's not just a job, it's an adventure. (With that, I'm heading home.)
We closed the office early -- two and a half hours ago. So why am I still here?
Wait a minute: FriendFeed's real-time search is not really "real-time" - it's like few mili-seconds delayed from realtime. - http://blog.friendfeed.com/2009...
Oh no! - Louis Gray
Well, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Simultaneity is dead! - Victor Ganata
Also, right now there's no use searching for anything except the term "real time search" on FriendFeed -- that's all my feed is filled with. - Rex Hammock
I think eliminating those few milliseconds is on their list.... (1) Make "best of day" truly "best" instead of based on popularity, (2) Secure the site against people typing javascript URLs directly into their location bar, (3) Automatically dispense accurate legal advice appropriate to the user's jurisdiction (see the FriendFeed google group), and (4) True "real time" implementation by working around the speed of light limitation. - Bruce Lewis
@ajhoover You are proof that the Twittersphere is a brain-extension. Third Life is exactly the awful web service I was unable to remember.
Steve Jobs is an exceptional leader -- as in, he's an exception to all the attributes the experts say you should have if you're going to be a good leader. It really frustrates the academics and "how to lead" book authors that someone who has never read one of their papers, books or theories could prove them so wrong. - http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-j...

@cwage - That era, but the one I'm thinking of was a more obnoxious, intrusive technology that let people really junk up a website.
Anyone remember the name of a late '90s web startup(s) that let people have chats on top of a website - or maybe just post notes. Anybody?
Hammock Builds Social Network for SNAP Conference | FolioMag.com - http://www.foliomag.com/2009...
It's great to see Folio: Magazine publishing the kind of story I'm sure its audience can't get enough of -- a case study about a recent Hammock project. (Filed under: Shameless linkage to article quoting me.) - Rex Hammock
YouTube doubles upload size: commenters respond: "You Suck." - http://www.youtube.com/blog...
If I ran YouTube, I'd make the YouTube Blog a blogspot.com one like all the other Google blogs. That way, I could turn off the comments and not attract the morons who have responded to the message, "We're allowing you to upload 2GB," with a string of complaints. I guess they should ask for their money back. - Rex Hammock via Bookmarklet

While I'm at it, I'm also looking for someone who's experienced in dev/adm of a major mediawiki project --> project gig.
Looking for someone who can help code a simple Twitter API hack. Simple = smaller-than-a-breadbox. e-mail me: rexhammock (at) gmail.com
When I said, check out http://twitter.zappos.com I didn't know it was going to be bonked. They must be selling lots 'o Birkenstocks.

Ironic news of the day: Trying to stop smoking can cause people to kill themselves - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
Sign of the times: It's being interpreted as positive news that Ford's sales declined by 11% in June. As in, "only" 11%. http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
Nick Bradbury says goodbye to the old Homesite. - http://www.RexBlog.com/2009...
Just got phone call asking if we need help on our website. Have you ever seen our website I ask. No this is just a sales call, he says. FAIL
Happy Canada Day, or as we call it where I'm from, Happy Where's Canada Day. #justkidding

Despite early success this year defending garden from birds/squirrels, my perimeter has been breached by tunneling chipmunks. Developing.
My annual war against tomato-thieving squirrels got a shot-out from my urban garden friend Carrington Fox - http://blogs.nashvillescene.com/bites... #nashville
