I came here to make important life decisions and do laundry. And I'm all outta laundry.

@benjpo I'm way more creative than that ;) Compound nouns a speciality.

... And Manning has been found not guilty of aiding the enemy. Good.

Manning shouldn't go down on an "aiding the enemy" charge. He would have done so inadvertently; the implication (as I see it) is that anyone who takes an action that is not in the political interests of the United States might be liable under that charge. I'm not a lawyer, but it sounds like a very bad precedent.

Americans don't swear nearly as much as British people. I'm good at watching my language now, but you should hear me when I stub my toe.

If I'm on the phone with you and learn that you're driving any kind of vehicle at the time, I'll hang up on you. I wish everyone would.

Bradley Manning verdict day. Still a hero, as far as I'm concerned.

Lots of profound things to think about tonight. Instead: I need a haircut. Where's amazing?

idno stats so far: 90.5% want to self-host, while just 6.5% want a fully-hosted service. The remaining 3% want to make money by offering hosting.

2 text editors, an IDE, 4 terminals (into 4 different servers), Photoshop, Illustrator, Omnigraffle, Word and iCal. Does that count as full stack?

I'm having a pretty chilled out day where everything's working perfectly. How about you?

Anyone else have trouble opening the modern.ie .sfx archives with StuffIt Expander? Am I missing something?

@adammathes Agree completely. A lot of work needs to be done there. There's something in a turnkey server that manages like an iPad.

@benatkin Twice last week, once the week before. I like visiting other peoples' favorite coffee shops. That's what's interesting to me.

@owenrichards When I can. But Sept at the latest.

@owenrichards No! But it's just been added to my list. You want me to bring back some cinnamon toast for you? Might be soggy.

1. The Sunset is very poorly named. 2. The barista who just shut the door to this cafe is both a saint and a hero. 3. Brrr.

Google Glass (or GlassUp) isn't the point. The point is that connected devices can be anything. Don't hardcode for form factor.
