Josh Babetski : Quixotic Bravado

• Picking off maintenance items off the to-do list: ✔ server maintenance, ✔ blog maintenance, ✔ surly voicemail greeting on business line.
• Not doing well in the football pool this week.
• Managed to hose my Address Book. Seems like “attempt to insert nil” will require “attempt to fix SQLite data.”

• Watched Arsenal game with @antthelimey, checking out @obsessable, about to run some errands and score some food with @tracibabe.

• @traceym75 Enjoying the links. Keep ‘em coming!
• @iamkyle @obsessable is more informative than the actual site. Might consider sticking up a page w/links to more info re: collectivus.com
• Loving new office set-up. We’ve established “Product Row.” It’s easily defensible from rioting Devs; has 5 window corner location.
• We’ve also claimed our own conference room, are installing a “beverage” fridge and have an icanhascheezeburger magnet board for visitors.
• Great post on how @MapQuest updated routes to use the new I-35 bridge in Minnesota right when it opened yesterday. http://tinyurl.com/43bsu5
• Getting tossed from the house while @tracibabe hosts “spaghetti night” with her girlfriends. So us men-folk are going out for “beer night.”
• @iamkyle @ethand_local Why wait? Doing a bday crawl w/@icelander down Plum St next Saturday. I vote we have a “geeks love beer” tweet-up too
• @iamkyle Yup. Plan here: http://is.gd/2Lw7 AB&G, my fav. joints 915 and Halls, then on down the line.
• Alternative suggestions to “Geeks Love Beer” for Central PA meetup group: “Cows Can’t Code” or “Amish Abacus Hackers.” Throwin’ it out there

• Watching the geese outside my office windows. They’re just wandering around. I think I’m going to like my new corner window location.
• Taking iTunes Genius out for spin. Fed it “These Stones Will Shout” by The Raconteurs. Let’s see what it slaps in the playlist.
• Fixed a bug in Firefox for our Dev team with one line of CSS – mostly so I can mock them about it later. Left a “how to” in the SVN log too.
• Expresso looks like it might be a sweet editor. Taking out TextMate is a tall order though. http://macrabbit.com/espresso
