Well, the City of Seattle has Wallingford over to Aurora for a bit, down to 45th. Enough that Kid Valley is definately ours!
If we annexed all the way to the ship canal, we would have that very strange space under Aurora, with the Fremont Troll.....that would be a little to spacy for Wallingford. That is definately a "Freakmont" area.

But Woodland Park Ave N is a part of Wallingford!!

I appreciate the clarification about what is Wallingford and what isn't. I've lived in Wallingford since '64 (on 54th & Kensington, then 50th & Latona). Went to McDonald Elementary (Wallingford), Marshall Jr. High (Greenlake) and Lincoln High (Wallingford). I hadn't heard the "Tangletown" name until the Zoka Coffee House moved in and developed their "Tangletown" blend, pulling the name from a little historical research. Zoka is so confused, listing their location on 56th as "Greenlake Zoka". Talk about reinventing the neighborhood through ignorance, then having others believing it 'cause it is on the web. All Zoka had to do, and newcomers could do, is ask someone who has lived in the neighborhood for 3 - 4 decades and they'll probably give you a better answer than a coffee shop. Welcome to Wallingford, everyone!!

in Never Email Anyone Over 30 on Andrew McAfee's Blog
I dont think Facebook will ever be used as the primary collaboration method within business. Apart from maybe a few, Which are internet based businesses.
The idea of it overtaking email, to me, is ludicrous.

in CEO Evan Williams on Orthogonality of Twitter and Facebook Status (and is Xumii on track to provide an answer?) on Dangerous Visionary
I use www.ping.fm to selectively update various sets of services with one message. It updates a very wide range of services from one platform.


You can use its default categories of 'statuses, microblogs, blogs, all', update just one of your services, or make your own groups of subsets of services and update only those. It uses the '@' char as the label, so "@freq' might be the group of services i want to update frequently, for instance.



Ping.fm supports image attachments and stores them on ping.fm not on a 3rd party service like Twitpics.



You can update ping.fm via your mobile from a WAP version - m.ping.fm and there's an iPhone-optimised version at i.ping.fm. You can ping via email or ping from all the common IM services.



My only disappointment with ping.fm is it's one way - it doesn't try to be your one-stop shop for messaging, only your outbound service.



Disclaimer: I've done some work recently for Xumii, so I won't comment on the product other than to say I think their idea of a 'mobile social addressbook' is a very powerful one, and the first company to let me bring together all my real-world and online contacts on my mobile and lets me message two-way with all or a subset of them as if they were on one network, wins hands-down.

in A Dirty Little Secret and Mental Modeling on Captain Jack's Grande Adventures
Wow, everyone's so complicated..
I just say "I'm here to have a great time, and spread fun like wildfire. If you're cool, you can have some fun with me too.." and it works great. I'm all over the place talking to everyone and having a good time, which just makes me more visible and makes other people want to talk to me more. Night game is a snap.



Day game on the other hand.. I just psych myself out. I'm thinking "She's hot.. but I have nothing to say. I guess I'll just keep reading my book/working on my laptop and checking her out from here..".

in Premiership Preview–15. Wigan Athletic on EPL Talk
'Your field was falling apart last year, I understand you had a new one laid, but that isn’t what I said.'
What you actually said:-
'Their field surface is undoubtedly the worst in the Premiership '
As I understand the language 'is' is the present tense meaning 'now': apparantly you don't bother reading what you have written
As for 'a 71-year-old chairman with questionable financial know-how.' is this the same man who turned a £400 compensation pay-out for a broken leg into a multi-million pound fortune? I wish my finacial know-how was as questionable.
You are entitled to your opinion, whether right or wrong, but your sloppy 'facts' are an insult to anyone who bothers to carry out a little research.

in Guestbook on Spacemusic hosted by *TC*
Name: Alan Martin
From: Germany
E-mail: alanrvmartin@aol.com

Hi TC,
"discovered" Spacemusic after buying myself an IPod and searching for cool music for my vacation in Gran Canaria. I was always atracted by spacy chill out music and I must say, the tracks you compile are really a delight. Especially #57, THE SHY, THE SAD AND THE BUSY is a good hour for spending on the hammock somewhere out there in space... Your comments and background info is also very welcome.

Thanks a lot for all that ! Please let me also criticize the spacemusic.nl site a little. I find it not very nicely done and also not very clearly and spacy arranged. Maybe you can do something about that, so it will better match the cool music you present so well.

Good Luck !!!
Your new fan
Alan

Admin reply: Well new fan, thanks for your message. Good to hear about the holiday destinations combined with the podcast. What about the site? Well, it matches the content in terms of content. For the rest, there's simply no time to design and maintain a hi-tec website. Then again, the more simple the site looks the better we think it offers information.But of course, it's a continuous process...... ~TC

in Building Multi-TTY Emacs from CVS on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon on Enigma Curry
These instructions worked for me. I was a bit confused by the instructions for repacking. I guessed and filled in the blanks with things I DO understand, and the final result is ok so far. I am running amd4, so the directory was not correct. I guessed and whatever I did it seems to have worked. This is a good how to but needed at least that much more explanation.

I also uninstalled auctex and reftex, and installed from CVS. It worked also.

in ‘What if’ Doesn’t Pass Ethics Amendment Sniff Test on The Colorado Independent
Rubbish Jim Spencer does the same thing here that he did at the Post, where it went up in the daily news section as a (wait for it) news columnist. The only one confused about that is you.


As for Amendment 41, it hasn't affected anything, except to produce a fat load of melodramatic waaambulance bull-puckey (based on deliberately nonsensical readings of the law) because the steady supply of free stuff from lobbyists to public officials in exchange for "nothing whatsoever" has been threatened. I for one am amused by the idea of Peter Groff swearing at his computer with the rest of us last week instead of ringing up some lobbyist buddy for Rockies tickets, but thanks to Judge Habas there was no problem I'm sure.


Gifts shouldn't make a legislator want to talk to somebody. Money isn't speech, so it's absurd to claim that Amendment 41 has "stifled speech." That's been the right's claim for years, money=speech, conveniently since they had all the money and we had all the people. It's funny because you accuse Spencer of appropriating a right-wing tactic, but you're arguing their corrupt case --

in Thompson Woos Conservatives, but Huckabee, Romney Remain Favorites on The Iowa Independent
Fred Thompson in 2008! Senator Fred Thompson is the only major candidate that gets it. He makes decisions based on principles. You have to stand for something and not change who you are based on the polls. That is what Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani have done and all of the Democrats do it. Give me a leader that will stand by his principles anyday versus someone that stands for everything.

I know many, many Republicans that will stay home if Rudy Giuliani is the candidate in the general election. He does not represent our values as Conservatives, and never will. Mitt Romney is a RINO (though I'm sure a very nice man) that simply has everything else and nothing to do.
