  • Matthew Gallant  I've had the exact same reaction among non-geek friends, one of them even interpreted what I said as the actual verb "twitter."

  • Matthew Gallant  That's more of a nerd whine imo, and as a programmer I know that nerds come in every colour. Love the blog though, gives me a good chuckle every day. Thank you.

  • Matthew Gallant  This initiative reminded me of something I read a while back in Wired about "Aspergian" philanthropy: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/15-09/st_thompson "Give the homeless voice mail" certainly lacks the punch of "feed the homeless", but it might make a big difference in the long run. Here's hoping.

  • Matthew Gallant  I'm a nut for backups, I have a local copy of all my music/e-mail/photos on my laptop, which I back up once more onto an external hard drive once or twice a month. It only takes one hard drive crash in which you lose data to make you think twice about these things. Fool me once...

  •   mathewi  I agree, Matthew -- all it takes is one disaster to make you think hard about backups.
