23. If I worked HCI for an app (hire me, please), my goal would be to write myself out of a job with magic, not to produce meaningful errors.

24. @wrayjustin and I’m guilty. But when I paste 20k items into a field and it says “ERROR” it’s a piece of shit, not a :%s/\n/, /g opportunity.

25. @wrayjustin I’m convinced that modern unix types are in love with solving small problems with small tools. It’s navel-gazing.

33. @oneeyedcarmen I’m dragging the usual suspects plus two to @dojocon, is anyone putting together plans for Friday evening yet?

34. Oh, you like to let your software updates bake in at less important customers for 6 months? Can I talk to someone not in sales?

36. @oneeyedcarmen @electricfork I ‘gave’ all my shmooballs to my cats at about 30 mph. They start too much of an arms race for the office.

47. Kid Koala’s SS (non-Slew) set tonight is a late one http://j.mp/4gnuZ, http://j.mp/1u6j6Z. Dinner in DC first? (apropos: http://j.mp/37Mt5y)

    I’m breaking app signing, so their keychain access is breaking. How to resolve?

75. Why does LSUIPresentationMode (via @eternalstorms’s PresentYourApps, ♥) intermittently break? Keychain? Mail, @adium accounts fail login.

97. @frednecksec @CrucialCarl The obscurity argument is boring, it just doesn’t reduce risk enough to bother. Port knock or VPN instead?
