OH (from IT manager trying to fit PCI into PCIe slot): “Can’t I just cut a hole and make it work?” (asked the same question a few yrs ago)
Planning to kick ass today
Just bought my first car!! Audi a4 : )
Purchasing a car is not easy.. Sigh.
Thus far in the #pdxmexilazywebchallenge @CarrieLeighC is the front runner! Any other challengers?! (thx, @CarrieLeighC!)
Need the best Mexican food place in Portland! Please help, it’s a Mexican emergency! #lazyweb
OH @sandykeiter: “number 3: use the penis!”
OH @jeffpatt: “I don’t have a blog. Blog requires you to write — Posterous requires you to forward funny pictures in emails.”
Yep: http://bit.ly/1Ywlmp
Now down to two remaining cans of VISO. Day is having its ass handed to it!!!
Not happy with any of the captive portals out there.. I’ll just write my own.
Performance review time!
Looking for a place to live in (PDX) Hawthorne area? Anyone have any ideas?
Wow.. Facebook Lite sucks.. Impressive.
Fun fact for @djangocon: The red-neon on KGW @thesquare’s studio is controlled by a Django app scheduler and a @phidgets board. #djangocon
I wonder if @djangocon peeps are enjoying Portland?!
Interestingly enough, the only part we have trouble with is the @phidgets board.. Django works flawlessly.
Time to de-ass the area with the quickness!
Had the distinct pleasure of running into @brampitoyo at the food carts!
Getting prepared for a nice nine-day weekend!
Nice of BackBlaze to release their plans for their storage pod! 47TB in one machine? http://tr.im/xE2g
Congrats @brampitoyo. Now you can waste ungodly amounts of time going through friend’s-aunt’s-former-roommate’s-dog’s baby photos.

There’s something seriously wrong with drinking Stumptown coffee out of a Starbucks mug.
There’s something really comforting about the fact that Google autocompletes “boysenberry condom.” #dontask
OH: “Benjamin Button was like watching Forrest Gump in rewind!”
Just discovered that the system that connects us to the Bureau of Emergency Communication is 1700+ lines of BASIC. My day is now complete.
OH: “That’s so cool.. It’s like somebody’s grandma!”
(even though @_why did kind of take it all away in a zen-esque dick-move… c’est la vie!)
Reading @_why’s poignant guide to Ruby (W(p)GtR, for the uninitiated) and I just can’t help but smile. The brilliance of @_why still exists.
OH: “And I’ll never fuck with Russian women dude.. They’re complicated — like French-resistance complicated!”
“The advantage of being a reasonable creature is that you can find a reason for whatever you want to do.” -Ben Franklin
WOAH! It’s like I’m THERE!!! (shambles live > http://ustre.am/5fIz)
OH: “So if Mojo Jojo [from Powerpuff Girls] taught kung-fu and was sponsored by Gojo, it’d be Mojo Jojo’s Gojo Dojo.” -My Boss.

Glad it was useful, @JeffSelf! How’d it work?
At Mom’s for tasty dinner, then back to my apartment for tasty wine?

OH: “You know you’re tired when you don’t even have the strength to do your kegel exercises…”
Portland, you’re missing the coolest band you’ve never heard of: F.O.L.K.L.O.R.E! At ash street saloon! #Portland #Indy
Okay, @jeffpatt’s code looks good. We’ll deploy it to a VM and get it rolling so the graphics department can take orders again.
Doing a code review on the new OMS code written by @jeffpatt #kgwcodesprint
I actually miss Ruby. I don’t miss Rails. #kgwcodesprint
There are days when I really love KGW. Today a piece of hardware failed on our graphics asset system. Rather than rebuild, we’re rewriting.
The graphics department at KGW television in Portland is now an agile software shop for the day. #kgwcodesprint
OH: The hold was warm and moist.. Speaking of that, I broke up with my girlfriend.
My message queue is now (much) faster than RabbitMQ — good day for code!
