Just found out that there are differences in rendering between Firefox 3 and 3.5

@kylew01 floating and overflow are different. Bad because now I have to figure out how to make it look the same. ; ) in reply to kylew01 #
@rmoore08 yeah, I don't think snow leopard is running faster than leopard yet. in reply to rmoore08 #
@nicbifano Thanks man! I have a few more I need to put up including a jQuery CSS gotcha I just ran into. ; ) in reply to nicbifano #
.@designdevmag ummm… you just drag the application into the applications folder. Am I missing something? #
@kylew01 ouch! http://twitpic.com/bvjy5 #
@mikefarmer does this apply to you to? http://twitpic.com/bvk95 #
@rolandksmith is there something we can do? Sounds like a great senior project or internship opportunity. in reply to rolandksmith #
@thedarktangent tips for #defcon virgins. http://tinyurl.com/m6jnn8 in reply to thedarktangent #
@rolandksmith that's unfortunate. Maybe someday they will turn away from their evil ways. ; ) in reply to rolandksmith #
@alharris49 wow. I don't know if I'm ready to experience all that heat. Lots of water forsure! ; ) in reply to alharris49 #
@jolieodell skip #defcon?!? You must not be a true geek. ; ) in reply to jolieodell #
@kylew01 it's probably time. ; ) in reply to kylew01 #
@jonmott hmmm. I'm all for a company protecting their stuff but I have heard that they sue just about everyone that builds an LMS in reply to jonmott #
@vpeternguyen @dallinc Well, Twitter isn't a good fit for everyone. Good luck in all your endeavors. #
Backing up over 1 million items on my MacBook Pro. ; ) http://twitpic.com/bw2kh This might take a while. #
@torybriggs my wife and I really like it. We have it if you would like to borrow it. in reply to torybriggs #
@torybriggs ha! Yep! That would be a bit of a task. Well, have fun watching it when you do. ; ) in reply to torybriggs #
@mclaughj all is not lost my friend. You still have many friends who might be able to work something out for you. ; ) in reply to mclaughj #
@mclaughj Have you looked into services that let you tweet via email? That might be a good option if it is blocked. ; ) in reply to mclaughj #
@MrBrettYoung Great article. Thanks for posting the link. ; ) Using twitter in the classroom http://bit.ly/17QkE8 in reply to MrBrettYoung #
@MrBrettYoung Your welcome. Twitter + common sense + purpose = Very powerful / useful tool. Otherwise Twitter can just be a big waste. ; ) in reply to MrBrettYoung #
@courosa Good thoughts by Kim. Looks like you are doing a good job. ; ) in reply to courosa #
I'm flattered when someone reads/watches/uses/cites my stuff. Such a great feeling to know your work is useful to others. (via @courosa) #
My last blog post is a gem. ; ) http://geek.michaelgrace.org/ #
@MrBrettYoung Thanks! I love to share what I learn and a bit of my craziness with everyone. Sorry to distract you from your work. ; ) in reply to MrBrettYoung #
@MrBrettYoung Cool. Well, enjoy your vacation. ; ) in reply to MrBrettYoung #
@bluedoggiant Thanks. ; ) I get a little crazy sometimes. in reply to bluedoggiant #
1 million + items, 260 GB and about 4 hours later I am all backed up. ; ) #
@Tikisam Very nice! ; P in reply to Tikisam #
@mclaughj We all look forward to it! Let us know if there is anything we can do here in the states for you while you are over there. in reply to mclaughj #
@kylew01 thanks. You sure were up early. : ) have a good day. in reply to kylew01 #
@brotherjudkins thanks. I'm thought maybe a few people would be able to use that information. in reply to brotherjudkins #
@jonmott well, just another reason for Bb to back off then. in reply to jonmott #
@jonmott it makes it tough for large schools to find a better LMS if Bb is busy beating up the competition. Competition is good for all. in reply to jonmott #
Don't be fooled into buying admission to #defcon online. Admission is cash at door only. Someone is trying this scam. RT pls (via @_defcon_) #
@brotherjudkins AWESOME!!! Google, then ask for help if you run into trouble. WordPress ROCKS!!! in reply to brotherjudkins #
Just signed up for Amazon's SimpleDB and I am very excited to figure it out and start using it. ; ) #

A lovely weather warning for las Vegas as I am getting ready for defcon. http://twitpic.com/byqu9 #
I'm not sure I like the new twitter home page. #
This is my first ever tweet from my computer sent via iPhone tethering. ; ) Huzah! #
Some how I get the feeling that my iPhone data usage this week is going to skyrocket with tethering and #defcon all in one. ; ) #
@rolandksmith Nope! ; ) A friend sent me an email with a file and now it works. Was the easiest thing I have done on an iPhone yet. ; ) in reply to rolandksmith #
@rmoore08 Thanks for your help! My wife is really excited about it also because this means we have the internet when we travel now. ; ) in reply to rmoore08 #
@kylew01 Very sweet! See you tomorrow! ; ) in reply to kylew01 #
"We are a nation that has a government, not the other way around." – President Reagan 1981 Inaugural Address (via @davidweiss) #
@torybriggs did you end up watching coraline yet? in reply to torybriggs #
Not surprising that iPhone tethering on edge has a hard time handling a ping flood ; ) I'm such a geek. ; ) http://twitpic.com/bzn1u #
Terminal tip for the day: Do a ping flood using the command:
sudo ping -f http://www.google.com
(you can use any web address) #
I was doing another ping flood test using my iPhone tethering and the phone decided to restart! haha ; ) #
You can overload your iPhone if you have it tethered and do a flood ping. Second time mine died at 56,000 ping and third time at 6,000. ; ) #
@torybriggs Glad to hear it. ; ) in reply to torybriggs #
@kylew01 True. Just watching the requests fly out is really fun though. ; ) in reply to kylew01 #
I had better go to sleep soon since I will be leaving tomorrow for #defcon with @kylew01 and @rmoore08 #
@kylew01 If I can get to bed and wake up at a decent hour. ; ) in reply to kylew01 #
I love that twitter.com has a "Learn the lingo" page for those who are just getting started. ; ) http://bit.ly/54QhO #
@z103brad Thanks! I am glad you like it. I'll have to keep taking good pictures and sharing them. ; ) Have a good night. in reply to z103brad #
That 2nd lightening pic is phenomenal! Looks like a movie! http://bit.ly/tXxtW

@MrBrettYoung which site was it? in reply to MrBrettYoung #
@thezees I will. Thanks! I'll see how much blogging I can get done during the drive. ; ) in reply to thezees #
"iPhone Jailbreaking Could Crash Cellphone Towers, Apple Claims" – http://bit.ly/13RiUP I call B$. (via @courosa) ; ) #
