Woohoo. Job interview tomorrow. Wish me luck, if you have any to spare. #
@wyhaines Because in SFO people are willing to pay, I guess. in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines It is. But as long as travelers are willing to fork over money, I don't see why SFO should change. Stupid de-facto monopolies. in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines Only if the customer has a choice, tho. But if you have to use SFO, or LAX, or FFM, you are stuck with it. in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines You bet there are! But customers can't chose with their feet as it were, to make SFO feel the pain, too. in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines Yeah, but they are, as far as SFO is concerned, externalities. Somebody Else's Problem, in a nutshell. in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines And no Sillicon Valley firm has sprung up to provide free WiFi, either. Telling, isn't it? in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines Oh, damn. in reply to wyhaines #
Job? I has it! #
It'd be nice if DB Regio offered free WiFi. would make a 1 hour commute a little more bearable. #firstworldcomplaints #
@miss_cath I find that not eating fast food helps me the best to get rid of the excess calories. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Yeah, that didn't last long. Back to the job hunt (at least, I got some funds to do that properly now). in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath No doubt. But no need to stop doing that (unlike fast food), either. in reply to miss_cath #
So, LaTeX (and MiKTeX) are useful. LyX, not so much. Conclusion: The Word processing metaphor fails when applied to layout-agnostic formats. #
@miss_cath That's very, very close to Too Much Information territory. in reply to miss_cath #
@geopsychic Well, I get results faster with vim and MiKTeX, than with LyX and MiKTeX. Not as comfortable since I have 2 shells open, tho. in reply to geopsychic #
@miss_cath Enjoy! in reply to miss_cath #
Okay. Writing a Ruby tutorial from (pretty much) scratch will be more difficult than I thought. *.tex will be put under version control. #
@haacked Next time, setup mail forwarding! in reply to haacked #
@scenariogirl Bah, needs Flash to listen to the audio. in reply to scenariogirl #
@sixtus Naja, "live stream" wird weniger benutzt als "live webcast" IME, ist aber echtes Englisch. Anders als "Handy". in reply to sixtus #
Appointment for job interview nailed down. #
@jm If you apply force and it won't budge, you didn't apply enough force. in reply to jm #
@peterc Well, you could do Ruby-focused vim screencasts. in reply to peterc #
@peterc Yeah, that'd help a lot. I find vim rather opaque, yet usable. Something showing how things work would be the awesomeness. in reply to peterc #
@peterc A supermodel hacker! in reply to peterc #
