don't be caught with lame lines next valentines day - use the power of bash

i've finally found it. the best page on the internet.

rumor has it that natalie portman is going to be in a sequal to luc besson's fantastic leon. now that would fucking rule.

possible missing feature in typepad - the ability to easily delete 500 identical posts you accidentally made while playing around with the atom api. oops.

i pack everything i could possibly want for two months into a racksack and it's by far the heaviest bag i've ever taken anywhere. so when the checkin stewardess notes that i'm "travelling light" i suspect my idea of "alot of stuff" is out of sync with the rest of the world.

today is my last day in london. on monday i fly to vancouver for a ludicorp extravaganza. goodbye all!

threadless have finally launched an affliate program - go buy shirts and not only can you look like me, but i'll get paid too!

some beautiful valentines cards. still not as good as "roses are red, violets are blue, all my base, are belong to you" (spotted on bash) [via reitsma]

teemarto has some really great tshirts. i'm escpecially keen on the 'test' ones - the tiny kearning is very tdr.

if you look under irony in the dictionary you'll probably find the yale guys from etcon04 - handing out free blank cds in the lobby to promote file sharing. but what does he do for a living? works for universal developing drm. take note - this is irony.

i wish trillian knew how to merge the logs for a meta contact. say, for instance, i was talking to some hot chick on icq about the finer points of xml-rpc. now icq goes down so i switch over to talking to them on aim. trillian lets me group contacts into "meta contacts", so hot chick is a meta contact with her icq, aim, msn, yahoo and jabber profiles (or possibly more than one of each) bundled into one. the only problem is that now when i go back to look up that conversation in my logs, it's split across the two log files. urgh. fix this please.

some much to digest from conconuk, but the big highlight was just seeing people i hadn't seen for a while. all of them. in a very small pub. and of course she was there. i was expecting that. i was prepared. only she had to go and be really plesant. spoke to her for ages about everything. she's now coming to lunch on friday. i can't help myself. i. am. hopeless.
