- @andsoerinsaid Bohrer has repeatedly kiboshed the idea of a UvC reprint. We’ll see. #GoF in reply to andsoerinsaid #

- @kgnunn Local group summary of Diamond’s Club: Interesting but short legs. No more than 6-10 plays before exhausted. We’re ~4 plays in. #gof in reply to kgnunn #
- @neilhimself We asked, “Most useful & expressive word added to English in the last century?” The winner: Doh! Your nomination? in reply to neilhimself #
- @icheyne I use #bgdf_chat on mibbit (boardgame design) & some OSS projects on effnet & freenet. Long wished BGGChat was IRC based. #IRC in reply to icheyne #
- @timoreilly @precipice It’s often cheaper & faster to deliberately make & fix a bad decision than to get it right in the first place. in reply to timoreilly #
- @ingredientx Welcome to my world for 3+ years while I was at PayPal. The truth and the chattering classes bear very little relation. in reply to ingredientx #
- @brettspiel @ingredientx Yep. PayPal is slammed for anti-laundering/fraud/etc laws/contracts etc they can’t talk about due to privacy regs. in reply to brettspiel #
- @icheyne I get ragged on as as I use both score and thrice and am neither Indian or British. in reply to icheyne #
- @icheyne Do a TwitSearch for #IRC. Lotsa hits. A channel list on freenet or effnet shows much non-tech activity. I’m on 24/7/365. #
- @icheyne Mibbit has a neat dedicated web-widget for the non-IRC literati (see the one at bgdf.com). I use irssi. #irc #irssi #bgdf in reply to icheyne #
- RT @neilhimself: Was just sent awesome link to a short film by me drawn by Gahan Wilson. #

- Disney recycling their own content? Say it isn’t so! http://bit.ly/6PUU4 #
- @rholzgrafe Agreed on both counts, but he has prompetd me to re-examine how I use my blog and internal notes system. A good thing I think. in reply to rholzgrafe #
- E-Books, publishing, revenue models and the impending splat sound of karma meeiting dogma & the harsh road of reality: http://bit.ly/GdBUN #
- Don’t just handle symptoms. Tactics vs strategy in handling Detroit, the bailout & the industry’s future: http://bit.ly/ss9E #
- RT @codinghorror Wikipedia: where the most obsessed users always win. Always. The weird thing is that in the aggregate, this system works. #
- @rholzgrafe (Disney recycling) Yeah, I know, my comment is satircal. Animators were early practitioners of re-factoring long before Disney in reply to rholzgrafe #
- RT @Dave_Ferguson Original name for Wikipedia: “unemployed Ph.D. Death Match” (Me: You’ll be getting a bill for my coffee-stained screen…) #
