Josh Babetski : Quixotic Bravado

• Took longer than expected, but got all of my to-do for today done! Last task: syncing new version of Things from @culturedcode to my iPhone.
• @tracibabe brought in donuts for everyone. I sent out an email to the office in haiku. Feeling extra creative today — might be the sugar.
• For local fans of yummy wings and beer: we’ll be hitting 915 tonight ~6:30ish, then probably head across the street to Halls.
• @briandewitt Sadly no, but passing on info to all the Denver folks. I haven’t been to CO yet this year! It’s a world gone mad! Have fun!
• @kyamazaki Meeks! Of course I remember you. We have a new building now in Lancaster. Small twitter world it seems!
• Debugged some CSS and mark-up for one of the devs. I am wearer of many hats.
• @tracibabe You are banned from wearing flip-flops! I’ll pick you up some velcro safety shoes on the way home.
• @kirstenm too late! I wanted to just print up the view source and css and take a red marker to it all… teacher-style!

• Terminal Tip: Burning a disc did you know that you can burn discs right from the Terminal window with a simple command and a drag/drop? Just enter the following command followed by the path to a folder or disk image:

  drutil burn filehere

  Don't type the "filehere" — that's where you put the path to the file/folder that you wish to burn. You can either type the location manually or drag and drop the file onto the Terminal window. But that's not all you can do with drutil; you can also eject media from the optical drive by typing "drutil eject." To see all of the available drutil options, just type in drutil for a quick list or man drutil for a full description.
