4. @stevewerby it’s the new /part, /nick, /join in moderated channels. Block them and it all goes away, until they come back with another name.

5. @danphilpott great paper. 550 code error leaks are nasty, breaking SMTP is nastier. Outsource the MX and ignore RFCs on MTA 550s.

6. …and the new Kid Koala release he’s touring, The Slew, is a free download: http://j.mp/Be054 I’ll definitely be at the Silver Spring set.

15. @jjthomas, of course not silly, it isn’t out yet!

    (@mikenealis you sure ‘booted’ that one!)

16. I’m pouring wine at the Canton Wine and Jazz thing 3:30 to 7:30, then hosting a Windows 7 house party at my place. Stop by either.

17. #7: You a Yankee fan?
    #5: No, Baltimore.

19. There are few things more tiresome than listening to geeks verbally fuzz forensics laws with juris doctorates as if laws were protocol RFCs.

26. @dionthegod I see GETS like that in the wild all the time, nice to see I’m not completely foolish for not figuring out what the strings are

27. @electricfork I think @censey was looking for the Melville (played by Bob Uecker) character. I haven’t read far enough to say yet.

28. Taylor reads Moby Dick for Lynn, the Indians are the Pequod, pitching is harpooning, Cleveland is Nantucket, Mrs. Phelps is is the…

31. This should be interesting: >@dionthegod @charmsec I’ll be there – Anyone coming to charmsec have locks and picks (and know-how)?

32. @dionthegod http://deviating.net/lockpicking and a lot of patience. I don’t know anyone with bump picks, spare lock sets, etc. Would be fun!

33. @censey I buy concert tickets last.fm tells me about, because it knows what I like (http://j.mp/QGKd3). Facebook and twitter, not so much.

34. My assertion: Discoverable, simple guest wifi socially engineers guests away from wired corporate networks. (NB, not a control) T/F?

67. I thought CSPAN was doing an Orson Wellesish radio drama. Eerie lack of ✈ in the sky that night as @vurtyou gave blood a the + station. ✌

68. I’m brewing a stout batch so that I can feel like I’ve accomplished /something/ on my second day home sick, but I can’t smell a damn thing.

69. @linuxgeek247 I’m going to guess you just added tab autocomplete to your ircish twitter client? Gimme ops.

70. @linuxgeek247 ditto – I’m not into any particular OSs (or licenses) enough, but the presentations are usually quality.

75. Which are skipped more? Intro skits, Ringo, Daltry, Roger Taylor, or Roger Waters tunes, Stones albums, post-Clash Strummer bands, or Rush?

76. @alexhutton The Dan. Too many discount them as disco.

    Nobody disrespects Moon’s drumming, Townshend’s windmill, or Daltry’s uh, stuttering.

87. Really dug the Ade CD you guys picked up for me. I didn’t expect it to be so experimental. Not sure why - I had it in my head that the trio would be more “Bears-y.” At any rate, I really liked it. Sounded somewhere between recent Crim & the ProjeKcts with a lot of looping thrown in. Thanks again!!!

88. Is this a pole legitimate use of packed javascript (see version 2.4)? http://is.gd/2O4EQ Is there such a thing? I don’t consider it an FP.

    I won’t, I always do, I don’t, and gee whiz that’s swell.
