Attending the Patterns and Practices Summit in October -- woot! http://pnpsummit.com/west2009/west2009.aspx

@digiphile Agreed. I don't have anything more to add, so in the spirit of things let me say... FIRST!

@digiphile Comments can be great when -- well, when they're great. @TheEconomist blogs have a fantastic, intelligent community.

Looks like the #teched09 stream is dead. It switched me to Barcelona randomly, and now I can't get it back.

Looking for a Boston-area #VSTS expert for a webcast -- any takers?

@digiphile @lancegodard But effective communication on social media requires several new skills. Acquiring them raises the barrier to entry

@digiphile It's a legit Q. There's a very high barrier to entry on social media; a LOT of stuff, low signal-to-noise ratio, all v disparate.

@Pete_Brown The URL in my tweet re jQuery got cut off, in twhirl at least. Link: http://bit.ly/OwM10

@Pete_Brown jQuery also lets you do basic animations -- it abstracts away the specific DOM calls. eg $("#id").slideUp() http://bit.ly/OwM10

@Pete_Brown That's a pet peeve of mine! I maintain that "could care less" is fine; it's ironic, a la "yeah, right."

@ColinSteele Practice? We're talking about practice! Not a game, not a game, not a game! We're talking about practice!

#Win7 will include a free XP VM. Great way to handle compatibility - same as OS X+classic. Blogged by @codinghorror: http://bit.ly/4C0or

@pbarone @spillspace I second that. Wasn't blown away by Vista, and I like Linux a lot. But Win7 is great. I'd love virtual desktops though.

@jrodmell I love it! But I'd have also underlined "science" in the first sentence.

@digiphile What about the intranets most companies have, or the private backup power generators many businesses keep?

@cingles The Windows 7 hack requires you to be physically present at bootup. Doesn't that bring its danger down close to zero?

@ColinSteele @SteveCimino Have him LiveTweet the next Boss concert he goes to.

@JoMaitlandTT You may want to check out @cingles as you dive into your new #cloud beat; he tweets a lot on the topic.
