6:10am #dckeynote Wired says "The web is dead, long live the internet." How does HTML5 help developers conquer device drift? http://bit.ly/cah7OV

5:52am #dckeynote if you're happy enforcing Flash > 9, you only need 2 formats: H264 mp4 and Vorbis/Theora. WebM would be a nice 3rd.

5:51am #dckeynote that comment was wrong; mp4 has to be first because of an Apple bug that impacts iPad. Firefox takes OGV anywhere.

4:03pm Relocated from Foobar to BrewPub, much nicer, quieter.

11:43am It's kind of disorienting to get my typical Monday morning e-newsletters, etc., at 5:40pm.

8:31pm Awesome day one in CPH. I think this is one jet lag battle I might win.

5:10pm EWR to CPH after a hectic day. @robpurdie is on my flight!

1:57pm @eaton on second thought, I think the feeling of dread I get is more related to my Unfuddle-using ex-employer.

1:32pm @eaton DREAD. that's what the feeling I get from Unfuddle is. DREAD.

10:59am @danentin @mrw called last month, 9:30 res, sat at 9:50, they bought us a round for being late. @inatube had the burger, i had the strip.

10:56am @ge_smith yeah, went with you, remember? Minetta Tavern is different, but definitely better steak. And I bet Charlie agrees.

1:51am Minetta Tavern, maybe not the best overall dining experience but certainly the best steak I've had in NYC.

8:58pm @kleinmatic I disagree. "Delete from ... where ..." is more stressful b/c it's easy to get distracted and forget the "where" bit.

3:51pm The Mandarin orange seltzer from Canada Dry is a huge disappointment compared to the same Flavor from Polar.

12:50pm @inatube everyone's a winner!

2:24pm @ge_smith GOOD CALL. I could eat these beer caramelized onions with a spoon.

6:22pm @xmatt @mollyhartman we don't see much of Penny at the lakehouse. More like having a roommate than watching a cat.

5:14pm @emkehm I really like your aspirational banana bread.

11:54am I like how responsive and cheerful @acquia support is, even when the problem is 100% mine.

2:09pm @mollyhartman also, I miss you too!

2:09pm @mollyhartman across? Not going to Oklahoma?

2:08pm @emkehm says I'm the only person who can make a shampoo bottle dirty. How's it dirty if it's crusted with *soap*?

8:50pm Can't believe we just undid five days of driving with a three hour flight.

2:34am Retraction: I implied that BP killed many fish in Biloxi. It was a fishing company. I regret the error. http://j.mp/dp1lQN

8:08pm Dead fish (murdered?) washing up in Biloxi, MS where we are en route to New Orleans. http://yfrog.com/eu5jcrj

9:10pm @mrw only other way I can think of is sudo with nopasswd. Or investigate setuid?

Saturday, July 31st

11:08pm @mrw not using su iirc but you can ssh to localhost

11:59am The Java installer for Windows wanted me to install the Yahoo! toolbar. I hate Oracle. And Windows. And Yahoo!
