Fixing a bug I created and wondering how I wrote the comments right and the code wrong.
Starting the day in a contemplative mood and pondering the meaning of it all.

It is interesting how often seemly simple problems turn out to be quite difficult.
Installing ruby libxml on my mac with mac ports. I still haven’t figured out how to find and install libraries and dependencies by hand.
github.com is the first open source repository that feels like it is getting the social networking part right.
Just discovered the wholesome goodness of honey…why have I been ignorant so long?
Test assertions should use the expected fixture values rather than literal values when possible. Then fixture changes will break less tests.
Peanut Butter and Honey sandwich for breakfast. The coffee is brewing. Now, I’m ready to code some ruby.
Played some racquetball and now icing the elbow. I didn’t have to do this a few years ago…

A man in a van dropped off a declawed short haired male cat in front of our house today. He is very friendly and free to a good home.
Sitting on the CommonThread deck, enjoying a beautiful day, and coding away.
is enjoying his slacker.com custom station. Where else can you hear Johnny Cash, Jack Johnson, CCR, Eagles, Dylan, and Teagan and Sara?
Working on some designs with @bwyrosdick.

Singing Dylan, way off key, while I work.
Fighting a cold with Zicam…afraid the cold is getting the upper hand.
