off course i mean if you want to take a break from coding like crazy or marketing your hot startup. i am debating between reading "the big switch from Edison...." and chasing women ( really hard for an introvert)

I'm probably going to ask people unnecessary questions, then count my peanuts throughout the night.
eru
Ah, peanuts. They are always dividing and multiplying. Can't wait to count mine.

thank you all. i end up having a menage a trois with |the big switch| (just how i like them) and |nescafe|.

Thinking about the current development-related issues with my startup - handling the exponential relationships between members of a social network.

I'll probably just flake out and store each relationship in a join table ;)

some art show, and then maybe some drinking (in sf)

If you want to know anything about that, just email me. I've read extensively on that subject. :P

I'm going to a party for a little while, then coming home to work on my startup until the sun comes up.

Sitting in the San Francisco airport because it is snowing in Atlanta.

Watched "The Terminal" on television, along with what seemed like a good hour of mostly-prescription-drug commercials. Sorted through some digital photos. Cleaning some no-longer-interesting files off of my iPod.

Saturday night tends to be a night off, which I think is a good thing.

Went to a Greek-food dinner party with karaoke, now I'm working on my current project, a hosted website load testing solution. The site prototype (but not the app) is up, at: http://www.testomatix.com. Edit: also rocking out with Pandora while I work. I really like pandora.

If I may make a suggestion, chasing a woman has much higher ROI than chasing women.

And, of course, you can ask her in bed if "the big switch from Edison" is worth reading.

curi
if you focus on one girl that's very risky, if you learn how to have a high percentage chance with most women, that is a low-risk investment

You will get the best ROI by managing your portfolio correctly. By all means make a close on the deals that are ready for it. But equally important - make sure your pipeline is full and has a steady inflow of potential deals.

I disagree. Like, this is a good strat for times when the outcome is based on how hard you try; but, in my experience, and more relevantly, from what I've read about evolutionary biology, there is such a thing as trying too hard. Plus, if you are really going for one girl, you might get messed up emotionally.

Found out how to rip mp3s out of flv movies.

That's a pity it's Sunday morning here already :)

Ate some haggis for Burns Night, read some poetry, drank some beers, then some Glenfiddich fine single malt, then continued to work on prototyping a business application I'm working on.

I'm leveraging the Clojure Lisp, and along with NetBeans 6.0 for GUI design, and TextMate for editing code, it's definitely the most productive language I've ever worked in.

The neatest thing is that that same code runs unchanged on OS X and Windows XP, since Clojure runs on the JVM. (v 1.5 for those of us with Leopard, that is.)

Just saw a movie. Awesome intravert sport, movie watching. Except for the whole leaving the house thing...

Seeing Cloverfield makes me glad I just moved from NYC.

ericb
Was Cloverfield any good?
immad
yes, surprisingly good

Went out with some guests from Italy. Still angry that Austria hasn't followed the rest of Europe and banned smoking, at the very least in restaurants.

I got back from my first band practice in six years, did XHTML/CSS till I was falling asleep at my desk, and hit the sack at 10pm - which is earlier than normal. Ended-up waking around 5 a.m., so made a venti size latte and caught up with the ever-faithful RSS overload.

I was reading "Weaving the Web", by Tim Bernes-Lee.
