I installed tt-rss. It's PHP, but pretty nice. Took less time to get fully installed than it did to read the newsblur install doc.

If you haven't listened to the past two episodes of This American Life, you really should. Amazingly eye opening.

Hopefully everyone who thinks you can fully outsource ops is reading what RapGenius is saying about Heroku.

Last night ~4am someone started *pounding* on our apartment door. Called cops. Turns out they were drunk and at the wrong address. Assholes.

lol, yet another RCE bug in rails. OTOH, your upgrade procedure is now well tested. Also, RT @postmodern_mod3 Rails Security is Omakase.

Every day the VPN automatically disconnects me after 7.5 hours, which causes my ssh sessions to time out, which makes me want to SMASH.

@paulv I wish the VPNs with which I cope had such long timespans. sigh.

@paulv Corollary: screen / tmux is your friend.
Jason Riedy at 2013-01-25T23:35:02+00:00

@paulv, is it inactivity timeout or a hard connection limit? The former should be easily configured around; SSH even has options for that.

While I admire you wanting to keep your home directory/dotfiles in git, can you try not to upload your passwords/keys/etc to github? Thanks.

This rails security bug is *bad* news. In *every* rails app, without exception. An attacker can execute arbitrary code. http://is.gd/O7if6u.

Installing dependencies for the chef server on CentOS manages to pull in SDL, mesa, flac, gstreamer, tk, qt, cdparanoia, and theora. #what

@paulv, it's a step in a positive direction. When they offer federation APIs again, then it'll be real progress.

We're still looking for PHP devs. Remote, good pay, nice benefits.

Plane from ATL -> DAY is broken. Departure moved back 30 min. ATL wants $5 for Wi-Fi. Bunch of jerks.

SFO -> ATL -> DAY. I still hate flying, but at least I get to see my wife and sleep in my own bed tonight.
