Just submitted three OSCON proposals – we'll see if they're interesting enough to get accepted this year! #
@aBigHairySpider @ElyssaD We've got a whole AUP team that works to make sure IP blacklistings don't happen, or are fixed quickly if they do. in reply to aBigHairySpider #
@storiesofmac Cyberduck! in reply to storiesofmac #
Seriously missing the #snOMG in Raleigh, again. #

Just got back from an Airrosti appointment for a hurting shoulder. It certainly helps, but goddamn the treatment itself hurts. #
Apple has opened up VoIP on the cell network! http://bit.ly/90mfub #
@LeviFig Depending on your use case, Slicehost might be a better fit. Monthly billing and included bandwidth, vs. hourly/extra. in reply to levifig #
@ksonney Good question. in reply to ksonney #
@levifig Yeah, if your use case involves spinning servers up and down quickly, Cloud Servers (or equivalent) is probably better. in reply to levifig #
@mojobojo That makes us happy – we love the devs and users who do cool things with our Cloud! in reply to mojobojo #
@levifig There _is_ a Slicehost API, though – depending on what sort of scaling, it might be a good fit. I'm at wade.minter@rackspace.com in reply to levifig #
In the future, all Congressmen are Taco Bell: http://murrayhillweb.com/pr-012510.html #
@sonofalink The Bojangles Devil always wins. in reply to sonofalink #
I love being able to DJ a weekly radio show at @rackspace – just one of the things that makes this job rule. #
@greenisus Because quatro agaves would be excessive. in reply to greenisus #
Played the new @curtsmith song on my radio show at @rackspace today. Good stuff, I need to go buy the album. #

@_jessegonzalez Suuuure, now that it's popular. But you lose indie cred. in reply to _jessegonzalez #
I really need to completely overhaul my personal website. An utter lack of design ability tends to be a hinderance, though. #
@dustinmeza A drop of water fell from the sky. Panic. in reply to dustinmeza #
Oh, sweet, cowboy breakfast at @rackspace this morning! #
What about if you're working PR for the Centers for Disease Control? #

Apropos of the Sun/Oracle deal, your moment of Zen (courtesy of Mark Cornick): http://dawson.nu/network.html #
@RackerHacker I can't look away…. in reply to RackerHacker #
Mark Cornick is on a roll: "It's the iChad" – http://c0581892.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/apple-tablet-keynote_038.jpg #
@sonofalink It wouldn't be claustrophobic on a large screen though, would it? in reply to sonofalink #
@armmer I shorted out my laptop with drool. in reply to armmer #
Interesting to see such a large price jump to add the cell radio in the iPad. #

According to the taco line, Nancy Pelosi idolizes Mao. Just in case you're keeping score. #
Found the gym, showers, and lockers in the new office. Now to see if I can talk myself into exercise. #
Hurrah! Finally got enough rr syntax into my brain (thanks to @astrails) to finish tests for Cloud Files support in safe. #
@RackerHacker I was just asking about pugs! in reply to RackerHacker #

@jungledave That's epic. in reply to jungledave #
@sourkraut Working in Rackspace's Corporate Development group, helping partners who are writing software for the Rackspace Cloud. in reply to sourkraut #
@EdLeafe To be fair, the dictionary is right up there with typing "55318008" on a calculator in terms of hilarity for kids. in reply to EdLeafe #
@terrymckenzie Whoops, thought I was already. Done! in reply to terrymckenzie #
Stupid logic. http://bit.ly/8gbT3P and http://bit.ly/6Thhts #
@sourkraut I resemble that remark. in reply to sourkraut #
@sourkraut A reasonable approximation thereof (13/21 right now, I think) in reply to sourkraut #
@RackerHacker But now that you've used it, it's copyrighted, and thus can't be used to refer to Debian. in reply to RackerHacker #
@sourkraut Running a 13" MacBook right now, hooked up to a 21" external monitor. in reply to sourkraut #
