- @eaton an excellent (depressing!) article about the current mess of the financial sector: http://t.co/BkwBg3E – his book is good too. in reply to eaton #
- @eaton FWIW, I work for a financial institution, but as a webmaster, so my understanding of this stuff is somewhat limited. in reply to eaton #
- @eaton alas, it's easy (IMHO) for financial sector to become focused on rent-seeking or arbitrage, which are all abt perpetuation of self. in reply to eaton #
- @eaton one useful (to a point) role is leverage; think of the speech in It's a Wonderful Life. "your money isn't here, it's in Joe's house" in reply to eaton #
- @wilw I don't even *like* beer and I thought that was a lovely story. đ in reply to wilw #
- @olyhillary @olybuzz that's what I thought. (size 8 1/2 or 9, usually.) in reply to olyhillary #
- @brucel but worth a try in any case, I suppose. (backup early & often!) in reply to brucel #
- @brucel although…looks like it hasn't been updated since WP 2.7. #
- @brucel you might try http://t.co/eqPVv3a (haven't used it myself, but sounds like it might be workable.) in reply to brucel #
- @olybuzz parents – can't tell 'em anything. đ ::hugs:: (I bet dad would love having a pup to walk around their n'hood.) in reply to olybuzz #
- @myerman ::raises hand:: (sometimes, anyway) in reply to myerman #
- @jackbrewster maybe so…at the time it got snapped up by a domain spammer type. might look into it. in reply to jackbrewster #
- blast from the past! cuecat + mystery dial: http://t.co/uT6O6Yk #
- @emmettoconnell @jackbrewster and wow, it's been 5 years since that happened? (suddenly I feel old.) in reply to emmettoconnell #
- @emmettoconnell @jackbrewster see also: http://t.co/9WI8Vfe in reply to emmettoconnell #
- @jackbrewster I was a dumbass: forgot to renew, lost the password to the registrar (dead email acct), woke up 1 morning to find domain GONE. in reply to jackbrewster #
- @jackbrewster I was pretty much the only person not TERRIFIED of the computer when I started working at a children's museum in '95. in reply to jackbrewster #
- @jackbrewster not being afraid of the computer has probably been one of the most important aspects of my career development. in reply to jackbrewster #
- @shelleypowers @myerman me too. I'm not sure if ignoring is the right thing to do, exactly, but it keeps me a bit more sane. in reply to shelleypowers #
- "Seasonal dress-down day" at the office…so of course it's overcast/misting outside, FREEZING inside. #wheresMySweater #
