• That nap was not nearly long enough…. :-[ #
• Interesting suggestions for “one-disc” rearrangements of The Beatles’ “White Album”: http://tinyurl.com/63eymp #
• Valentine (lap-addicted cat) isn’t going to know what to do with herself when I go back to work tomorrow. #

• Trying to use Photoworks and being reminded of what my mother taught me about “if you don’t have anything nice to say”…. #

• Kiddo’s up way too early this morning, and is awful surly about something. #
• Original Pancake House == home fry fail, service fail #
• The schedule’s a bit funky today, but the naps are just as good (although still over too soon). #
• Preparing for the onslaught of guests to help kill leftovers and play silly video games. Mmm, leftovers! Yay, games! #

• It’s great that the kiddo is weaned and all, but I miss not puking when changing poopy diapers. #
• Foo Fighters “One By One” shares ID code with “Michael Bolton’s Greatest Hits”… I guess I celebrate the entire catalog? #
• Under attack by an apparently love-starved cat. #
• Running kid interference while Liz finishes up the feast prep. #
• Just as I finish a kid-to-grandparents videoconf, an appropriate article shows up on Slashdot: http://tinyurl.com/2w3tfu/11/27/1710231& … #
• OMG so full I think I’m going to die. Thanksgiving rules! #
• Really enjoying the 2006 Tres Sabores “¿Porqué No?” (and not just because we helped make it). http://tinyurl.com/5wj7dr #

• Good news: replacing primary AEBS solved my wifi packet loss issues. Bad news: took way to long to make everything play nice. #
• I love my Al MacBook, but I wish the 2-finger scroll would act more like the iPhone; when flicked quickly, keep moving/glide to a stop. #
• Some of my PyCon and Clepy presentations have gotten noticed by @holdenweb. I feel special. #
• @bobnoss Holy crap, dude! Are you okay??? in reply to bobnoss #
• RT from @benjaminws http://tinyurl.com/5qtgon Really it’s the bacon in between each layer that makes this special to me. #
• Trying to resist the urge to subscribe to http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/ #
• It’s high time to give thanks….. for beer. #
• How is it possible that Kung Fu Panda >> The Forbidden Kingdom? All I know is that it is assuredly so. #

• Okay, I give up. It’s winter enough to put the Jayne hat on. At least now people know I “ain’t afraid of nuthin’.” #
• @Aquamindy Do I need to invite some of my posse that never seems to eat if not at our house? in reply to Aquamindy #
• If an external party insists on giving you data as overengineered XML, you’d think they’d be polite enough to give you *valid* XML… *sigh* #
• Photo of kiddo sitting in her new chair holding plush Siamese cat gives the impression of being the world’s youngest Bond villain. #
• Gem of wisdom from coworker conversation: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it until you’re ready to support it. #
• @csitko has written his first unit tests. Apparently this means I owe him cake tomorrow, per our longstanding bet. in reply to csitko #

A coworker just showed me this little gem–a maintenance script that’s got no author attribution and isn’t in source control, so whoever has perpetrated this crime against all that’s good and holy remains anonymous and (for the moment) safe from our wrath. I’m so completely taken aback by this–I… I don’t know what to say. I just have to share.

Weep for us.
