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

  2. @censey @omniweb for life. Nothing compares.

  3. trst.us

    Over the summer two friends and I brainstormed some ideas for a value-add URL
    shortener. I know, I know.

    It was going to do a bunch of security checks against URLs it was asked to
    shorten, and when Chris had the original idea, nobody
    else was doing anything like it. Aaron quickly scraped
    together something that could shorten urls, and 301 them when they came in,
    and call out to various security checks along the way. Meanwhile we wiki’d
    together a huge list of features we wanted. Features current url shorteners
    still lack.

    We kinda lacked a revenue model though, or time to work on the project, or
    funding.

    Oh well.

    I did make a logo for it, with Chris’s help.

    trst.us
    Figure 1. trst.us.

    I think doing it again I’d leave off the entire ‘us’ bit in the logo, it
    throws the balance too much.

    “It’s probably just the safety switch on the door, put the door back on.”

    “Oh, right. Thanks.”

  5. @oneeyedcarmen if you ever see me dancing with @philip_daigle, take my keys.

  6. I can’t stop watching Windows 7 House Party videos. Why did they edit out the dance-offs!?! http://j.mp/3fyLeI (stay for 1:20)

  7. My Day

    • HVAC inside fan motor died, I can fix it myself
    • The officer ticketed me at only 29 MPH over
    • @CharmSec tonight!

  8. @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

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

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