Hey Ben, just a quick note here, if you haven't already be sure to hop in our google groups list: http://groups.google.com/group/gnip-community?hl=... We are in the process of finalizing our schema and if you have any thoughts in light of what you are working on, that would be great. Going to digest your post a bit as well :-)

Added to my calendar. This looks like a ton of fun!

Really looking forward to looking through this. I've always been a fan of taking stock of what's been done and setting goals for the new year, but haven't gotten the chance to formalize it in this way. I'll let you know how it goes!

all hail the shag; a personal blog, just because I can : ride to work? this is a great idea...

Wow, this is genius! But yeah, Khaki's. Other than being ugly, they also don't hold up well for winter bike commuting where you may get a bit of dirt/mud flung about. Denim can hide that pretty well, but khaki's are exposed.

AwkwardRules.net : AwkwardRule #3: multiple goodbyes

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 08:05:11 +0000

Ok, so guys, here's a scenario: suppose the cute but socially awkward geeky guy you're with didn't pick up on the signals you gave off on your date and you want to give him another chance before the evening is over. So, you make up an excuse to walk his direction (I've never done this, really, oh wait, yes I have), and then you get the downgrade??? Ok, this is an optimistic version of "Multiple Goodbyes" and I can't say I'm very good and getting/giving signals because my track record is pretty much off on all counts. But still, what if?? I can only hope that the times I've made up that excuse to "walk the same direction" were not met with the "oh crap, why is she following me now??". Good luck man, good luck.

Nice post. Yeah, I think the panic factor is the worst part about stuff like this. We know it's serious, let's not inject "the world is going to end" energy into the work environment--it's distracting. It's not like we're sitting there eating bon bons rather than debugging!

Thanks Collin, but I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks for hanging out and having a proper geek lunch. Looking forward to taking you skate skiing.

Ah yes, we have been talking about that haven't we :-)

This makes sense, good way to draw the line. Thanks for stopping by, Rich!

Nice! Now, in terms of what Josh is saying, do you feel that there is any performance hit by doing this?

Nice post, David. So glad folks out there have this perspective.

I think that was the funnest blog post I've ever written. Thanks, everyone for your comments! Love it!

Brandon, leave it to you to come up with the appropriate place for recursion. It just goes to show that really it's about the right tools for the right job.

Very nice. Actually, PHP has very powerful date/time support which is nice. Here's a cool trick to get the last day of the previous month, especially helpful if you are trying to figure out Leap year stuff: mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 2000);

Dammit, Josh, you and your outside of the box thinking :-). And herein lies the very reason that I haven't gotten the chance to use recursion. I have hardly ever come across a reason for it and you've added another one to my list. Some day, some day, I'll find that perfect use case and we will live happily ever after...

Ah yes, Ben, you and your Erlang and your Python 3.0, and your cutting edge programming coolness. You'll have to let me know how/what you end up using Erlang for and how it goes.

Hey Dave, I'll contact you offline to ask you some questions about this. There's some questions that I have about your setup that you probably don't want to post to a public blog :-)

Nice post. I saw all the #motrinmoms tweets, but I didn't get the full sense of what was going on. I think it also goes to show that what's funny in the brainstorming room doesn't always cut it in the public.
