Scoble, Alex Scoble

Yay Open Source? - Victor Ganata

I don't think Office even tries to look at the content for several different "text" type formats. Annoying, since at least for myself, I'm far more likely to being using a comma or some other delimiter. - Jennifer Dittrich

LO always asks me about which delimiter is used and defaults to the setting of the last file I opened. Unfortunately it seems to have trouble with recognizing dates, but I can fix that in the dialogue box as it's opening the file. - John (bird whisperer)

Heh, yeah, John, that is the behavior that I'm experiencing, so perhaps it's not a factor of LibreOffice being smarter, but just having better overall UI design. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Step 2a is to harvest all information for better ad targeting, step 2b is to sell ads. - Andrew C (✔)

Step 5: get all users to use Google+ instead. - Steven Perez

Burned over 1200 calories on tonight's ride. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Or use systems that don't use passwords at all. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

WTF? That doesn't make any sense. Why aren't they pushing people to use Google Authenticator wherever it can be used? - Scoble, Alex Scoble

It's also annoying that they sell 3 packs with 2 beige/khaki pairs and 1 gray or dark brown pair. I only wear khaki or stone colored khakis to work so gray or brown socks are worthless. Based on what Macy's is selling, you'd think that people are now wearing black socks with khakis, which, in my opinion, is just bizarre. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Spidra, normal women's socks (9-11) have a shorter foot, and the queen size ones (10-12) have a slightly longer foot but also wider calf. Men's socks are 10-13. Unless he has a shoe size less than 9, he can't get away with women's socks. (most of the time I can't even get away with women's socks...but my hubby with the size 8 foot can) - April Russo (FForever!)

I think that a lot of people are going to be eating political crow over this. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Or they could just ignore evidence, Austerian style. - Andrew C (✔)

or "LA LA LA LA LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!" GOP style. - Big Joe Silenced

Well, they are going to soon see 2 statistics rise real soon...the number of jobless that have found jobs...and the number of underemployed, as businesses cut hours and hire more part-time help. Everyone that isn't management, where my daughter works, already had their hours cut to under 25/wk and they hired a bunch of new people, and they still won't give their employees a predictable schedule so they can get a 2nd job to make up the difference. Those min wage workers that needed 2 jobs to survive will now need 4. (damn greedy ass corporate bastards!) - April Russo (FForever!)

In other words, trying to provide security awareness training to employees is like trying to break a concrete wall with your head. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I feel more or less the same. I'm also so far behind on the games I currently own that it will be a while before I feel like I need to get something new. - Jennifer Dittrich

I totally understand your position, but with our Xbox (and most likely with the Xbox One) we use it much, much more for the other entertainment than we do for games. Our wii is the game console for us (Nintendo's games are fun for us, only a handful of Xbox games are - and those are mostly XBA games). - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE

"One" as in the "One Ring to rule them all." Enjoy being bound in the dark etc, found, etc. - Soup in a TARDIS

One red ring to rule them all. (a correction to the first comment) I wonder how they will compare to the original XBox, as web servers. - April Russo (FForever!)

If they can't and they just pissed off most of their paying customers, well there's always all that revenue from Tumblr to fall back on. :D - Scoble, Alex Scoble

This all assumes that Yahoo are looking to draw revenue from Flickr. - Johnny

It's probably unwise of me to say, but I have pretty much learned to unsee ads. Someone almost has to point out that they are there for me to realize it. - MiniMage

You mean the timing of that and tumblr? Or something about flickr specifically? - Brian Johns

Yeah, as I said on Facebook "We'll see how I feel about this tomorrow, but when compared to the competition, this seems like a step back to me as a paying member. So perhaps there's a bias there as this appears to be good for free members of Flickr, but not so good for new customers who want to pay for increased service." - Scoble, Alex Scoble

happy bday penguin!!! - Sir Shuping is just sir

Happy birthday! <3 - Jennifer Dittrich

ooohh spiky - imabonehead

First time using a light vignette instead of a dark one. Kind of seemed fitting, but I noticed that you have to be careful as you can very easily overdo it. Whereas, in Lightroom, I can usually go to -30 with a dark vignette, +10 was the most I could go with the light vignette without it making the picture look super funky. In the end, I ended up using +7. Not an effect that I'll use often. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

A subtle difference with a slight crop and I think it's a bit better now. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Might need to crop this one a little bit, but overall not bad. Took a while to do the mask though. I'm probably putting too much effort into making sure that my masks are perfect. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Taken today during an obviously wet photowalk at the Portland Test Rose Garden. And yes, water is wet. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

agreed, and they get mad when you give them the same business! - MiniMage

Waiting for someone to show up and say that most of my arguments are like that. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Python? I prefer Korn shell. ;-) - Julian

What monitoring system do you prefer to use for tracking performance metrics? - Julian

I unblocked him before he was going through a tough time and wasn't trolling at all. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Just don't use a GUI for git. I used to use MSysGit's GUI, but now it's horribly inefficient, and I don't really use Git enough on Windows anyways. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

QNX is of course TEH BEST EVAR - Jeff (Team マクダジ )

After using it for a while now, I'd say that for a lot of what we do, SVN might have been the better choice just because it handles directory structures/permissions better, although I solved that problem through a git hook that does a Chown -r on the directories managed by git for Puppet. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Heh, uh...oh. *facepalm* - Scoble, Alex Scoble

i'm doing that at work too. - imabonehead

Liked for git, puppet, and "devops" - Brian Johns

best place for a photo walk. - holly #ravingfangirl

Uh. - Akiva

You guys... - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
