Bzr annoys me – I'm totally switching my project to Git (probably re-locating from launchpad to github too) once I commit the 1.0 files. # Scored a sampler for me, and one for @lafrinier.

I thought it was really cool that I upgraded my server over SSH, until I remembered that my computer needs a hard reboot after updates. # OMG! Dropbox Pro FOR LIFE! I need to win this and it's the LAST DAY to enter! http://t.co/J9EfIMSh via @appsumo # By the way, if you didn't catch it [...]

http://t.co/FKyw218l RIP Steve Jobs – great comic from XKCD today. If we could build that memorial, it would be awesome. # Steve Jobs is dead! Holy crap, that is crazy – he was like way young and awesome. Rule of Badasses I suppose The best ones die first. # And, next week we will find [...]

I think I'm starting to figure this silly program out – Definitely pointing me away from a career in digital 3d modeling. # Trying to learn Blender so I can export some stuff from Solidworks into OpenGL vertex data. This is annoying. # I've got nothing to do tonight since the wife is out of [...]
