Once again, I made the mistake of being the first poster on a "it's my birthday!" Facebook status update and I'm paying the price. PS Facebook: just because I "like" something doesn't mean I want to be a part of the conversation that follows.

LOL! Very true. Do you have all your notifications turned off?

I am slowly learning not to click like in FB.
- Mike Nencetti
Well the paradox is, I actually do want email notifications for some things. But usually not on ones I "like".
- Paul Reynolds
And then there's the Happy Birthday thing. I wished there was a little link that appeared beside the Delete link in my comment that would let me not get notifications for that thread. Maybe "Mute"?
- Paul Reynolds
Under the notification settings, you can turn off email notifications for things that you just "like". It's really fine-grained control, actually. All it's missing is the ability to toggle updates on or off for a particular item.
- James (@willia4)
I saw the bajillion notification settings, but nothing pertaining to like?

The "How do you handle a woman?" one is a bit disturbing. Even considering that Ward and Baker were married. It's just not the relationship I imagine The Doctor and Romana having.

Yeah, THAT'S NOT DISTURBING AT ALL.

Mag-Safe power connectors are awesome... unless you don't have a battery connected. Doh!
Still better than having your computer take a quick trip to the floor!

James is giving Lala.com a try. It seems good. But good enough for me to type a credit card number in to? That's a completely different level of goodness. Not sure that it meets that standard.
However, with Pandora, Last.fm, and now Lala (not to mention YouTube and even Amazon!): online music is becoming increasingly interesting and even exciting. Is it becoming profitable? Well, that's an entirely different question, isn't it?

So. Chrome OS. I don't normally like to make grand statements about products which don't really exist. But I can't help myself. So. Ahem: In a world with iPhones and iPods Touch, what's the point of a netbook?
That said: I really would like to play with the thing. But, not enough to build it myself and finagle it to run on a VM.

Bran came to swear by hers last sinus season. If you're having sinus troubles, you should give it a try.

Going to pretend I'm not home until guy selling meat leaves. I will not buy steaks from out of the back of your truck.

for some reason I read that as "meat leaves." What a cool tree that would be!

That is creepy. I think if that happened around here, people would call the police.

I had a friend who did that for a while. We used to call him The Steak Pimp.

They all over the place here. I am talking once a week.

One of the best steaks I ever had started out in the back of some guy's truck. I thought it was weird when my then-girlfriend's dad (a doctor no less!) was buying meat from some guy; but it was TASTY.

Just realized I have no idea what the F5 & F6 keys on my MacBook Pro are for. What the hell are those symbols? They're blank on my Apple Keyboard.
On my 2 year old MBP, those keys control the brightness of the keyboard backlight. (But, like the backlight, they only function if the computer thinks it's dark enough to turn the light on in the first place). Or do you have different symbols on yours?
- James (@willia4)
Backlight is F1/F2 for me
- Paul Reynolds
Ah.... KEYBOARD backlight. Gotcha.
- Paul Reynolds
Hmm. F1/F2 are my LCD backlight.

No you're right. Hey, who needs Google Wave?
- Paul Reynolds
If you'd send one to @LaneEllen she could stop making me feel guilty, that'd rock...
- James (@willia4)
Oh, I meant... "why is Wave necessary" and I don't have any invites... so now I feel guilty too.
- Paul Reynolds
I've got invites, what's the email addy?
- Heather Solos
I am an asshole. I had @willia4 make me a cup of tea, not realizing it'd only cool enough to drink it in time for me to leave for class.
In the list of things I had to do today, making you tea was easily the most pleasant. I deny your asshole status.

Once again, I come across a .Net scenario where performSelector:afterDelay: would be a PERFECT solution. Alas!
I think you could write a reasonable approximation and save it in your bag of tricks.
- Paul Reynolds
Honestly, I'm concerned about introducing weird patterns to the code. We have a HUGE team, so maintainable code is a top priority.

It should really not take all day for a load of laundry to dry.
Rapidly approaching the point where I must start shoving damp clothes into a bag. Also, putting on damp pants. I REALLY need to learn to plan better.

Incidentally, I've never heard of this movie until now. But I do not think it needs to be made. All the Christmas Carol one needs is in either the original written story or the Muppet version.
- James (@willia4)
It's truly amazing to me how unaware of movies I've been since graduating college. Somehow, most just do not penetrate my sphere of awareness.

So Google Wave is a jumped up version of SubEthaEdit that runs in your browser instead of on OS X?
Yes.
- Paul Reynolds
I feel like the purpose of Google Wave is almost in my grasp. It's very frustrating, as if my subconscious knows something useful I could do with it, but it's not sharing. I created a wave called "An experimental wave for short-form textual experiments." and did my best to make it public. I think that's part of where I'm trying to go with it, but I'm not sure.
