- jim on jim’s “Ramblings.” I was back in april for a few days for work, will probably be back in Buffalo in a month or two again. I'll try to arrange it with a bit more notice, last time I didn't get to really see anyone.
- tinypliny on jim’s “Ramblings.” Have you been to this store yet: http://cacaodrinkchocolate.com/our-stores They were out of Pralus when my brother visited. You should check out their drinking chocolate selection. They are the best in the trade...

- jim on jim’s “Ramblings.” The C is variable. CRM: Constituent/Customer/Client/Campaign Relationship Management Basically tools for non-profits and political campaigns to do fundraising.
- tinypliny on jim’s “Ramblings.” I really like that website. The navigation is very easy to figure out...
- tinypliny on jim’s “Ramblings.” What does CRM stand for? Gather Karma! Gather financial support!
- tinypliny on jim’s “Ramblings.” I really that clippy "how we can help you". V.V cool!
- tinypliny on jim’s “Ramblings.” Wait.. that is North & Elmwood. Delaware and Elmwood don't really cross except where they start and that is not really a crossing either...
- tinypliny on jim’s “Ramblings.” Good luck!! Just apply, you will get both the jobs and will be spoilt for choice I am sure! :)
- tinypliny on jim’s “Ramblings.” Just the other day, e:Paul, e:Terry and I were driving back from somewhere... (citybration, maybe? maybe not...) and we saw this bloke on the corner of Delaware and Elmwood and he looked EXACTLY like you! We kept thinking it was you!! But …
- metalpeter on jim’s “PDX Riverfront” nice shots
- paul on jim’s “PDX Riverfront” I wish we had blossoms already. I cannot wait for cherries.
- tinypliny on jim’s “PDX Riverfront” You have the best chocolate store! http://cacaodrinkchocolate.com/our-stores I am so jealous, of the weather and the chocolate...
- jim on jim’s “PDX Riverfront” Yeah, Portland. Daffodils start coming up in early Feb, but didn't really bloom until early March. Trees started to leaf a couple weeks ago, only the biggest trees haven't budded.
- matthew on jim’s “PDX Riverfront” Beautiful! Is this Portland? I wish I could be outside taking photos of blossoms, instead I'm still taking photos of snow and ice. Buffalo, *grumble*
- metalpeter on jim’s “Portland” that is a great looking house
- flacidness on jim’s “Chicken Fried Bacon” What is that drizzled over it? It looks like caramel or gravy.
- metalpeter on jim’s “Chicken Fried Bacon” Does it tastes as good as it looks :)
- paul on jim’s “Chicken Fried Bacon” Holy crap that looks amazing. I am going to make e:lilho make this when she is in town.
- matthew on jim’s “Multnomah Falls” wow! This is a great photo.
- matthew on jim’s “Chicken Fried Bacon” Yum!!
- tinypliny on jim’s “Latourell Falls” That's beautiful!
- metalpeter on jim’s “Multnomah Falls” That is impressive... In some ways more then Niagara falls.... The reason I say that is over time (unless they use it for hydro power and reduce the water flow) those falls move over time some... Not sure how often or how much but I assume…
- tinypliny on jim’s “I Love Portland” Jim, you don't post anymore. I miss your posts. :(
- tinypliny on jim’s “I Love Portland” I like the idea of Public transport for everyone. The minute public transport attracts everyone, that's when you know that transit authorities are successful progressive thinkers - or maybe you know that gas prices are insane and that the …
- paul on jim’s “I Love Portland” Wow that's totally awesome, I'm jealous. In terms of the transit API, I think a major differencce is that public transit there seems more for everyone. Here it seems mostly for people who can't afford cars and those few green people. Not n…

- jim on paul’s “Why cant it just fucking snow” Sounds like a Portland winter :) Guess I didn't have to move after all.
- jim on tinypliny’s “Microsoft and Apple gang up to stall technology and Google.” I'd really hoped that they'd push for patent reform instead... but they decided to play the game. Probably didn't have any choice, actual patent reform via legislation or courts would take a decade.
- jim on tinypliny’s “Microsoft and Apple gang up to stall technology and Google.” Google just bought Motorola Mobility and its 25,000 patents (granted or pending). It should be squared away for mutually assured destruction like the its other big corporate peers.
- jim on tinypliny’s “Keyboard conclusions” A week to get up to speed (though pretty quickly I got even faster... its a keyboard for touch typing). Another week or two after that to be able to switch to a normal keyboard and back comfortably.
- jim on tinypliny’s “Being intuitive” Ah, I'm laughing at myself for reading so much of my own obsession into what you were describing that I made so many assumptions :)
- jim on tinypliny’s “Learning about linux by dissecting packages” Pretty soon you'll be looking for work as a linux sysadmin :)
- jim on tinypliny’s “Keyboard conclusions” I own this keyboard, it looks bizarre, it is expensive, and sounds like a machine gun when I'm typing (mechanical scissor switch). But it's the only keyboard that I can type on for 8 hours straight without the slightest twinge of pain. htt…
- jim on tinypliny’s “Being intuitive” I think about this all the time, it's basically the focus of my career. I'm not disagreeing with what I think you're getting at, which is that we have to use our minds and not mindlessly click through software wizards. I am disagreeing wit…
- jim on tinypliny’s “Microsoft and Apple gang up to stall technology and Google.” correction: landmine patents (not landline)
- jim on tinypliny’s “Microsoft and Apple gang up to stall technology and Google.” On a personal note, I've worked at small companies that have had giants in their fields, with patents back to the mid-90's on really generic stuff, like "Managing a Classroom (via the internet)" or "Schedule a Test (via the internet)", com…
- jim on tinypliny’s “Microsoft and Apple gang up to stall technology and Google.” There're a lot of patent lawsuits between all these big companies. The big boys fight dirty. It's not just MS and Apple, both of those companies are being sued by other companies for patent infringement also. Does that mean they're downtro…

- jim on paul’s “Objective C and XCode Suck” Yeah, the superset-of-C syntax craziness is pretty unbearable, and they haven't even allowed garbage collection to be turned on in iOS apps.
- jim on jim’s “*All* 150 years?” Period covers WW2, so commemorating the whole 150 year span just struck me oddly.
- jim on jim’s “Moving” Drew: if you could help in the morning that would be super awesome. It would be, unfortunately, helping move a few larger pieces of furnitures downstairs if you're up for it.
- jim on jim’s “Moving” Lilho: I'm in Buffalo, moving to Portland OR.
- jim on jim’s “Moving” Matthew: I'd love help. It'd be Friday morning/early-afternoon though, so most people would be working. I'm getting freaked out.
- jim on paul’s “Mistaken Identity” Ah! The facial hair would have to go ;)
- jim on paul’s “Blind worship of Apple” Did iOS 4.1 help Matthew? Friends of mine on 3g iPhone's have noticed a big improvement.
- jim on paul’s “Mac OS Snow Leopard in Vmware on Fedora On a Dell” Oh... and to see Adobe suite launch in seconds instead of minutes is a wonder. I hardly think before quitting programs anymore, they're so easy to relaunch painlessly.
- jim on paul’s “Mac OS Snow Leopard in Vmware on Fedora On a Dell” Awesome. I'd never go back to a hard drive after getting used to SSD's. Super fast reboots and VM's make everything nicer. I've also noticed IDE's / editors to be a lot more usable in projects with tons of little files, the random access s…
- jim on jim’s “Fuck.” Yup, car window smashed. Nothing taken though. Fuckers.
- jim on jim’s “James” He was at his parent's downstate near NYC, I drove down to visit for the weekend. I'm back in Buffalo now (no thanks to crazy rain/floods yesterday), and he's flying back to Portland later today from NYC.
- jim on jim’s “:-)” I re-uploaded the pic, not sure why the rotation ended up weird.
- jim on jim’s “Ben” It's his favorite stuffed animal, an elephant.
- jim on news’s “estrip.com is finally ours” Wow... congrats :)
- jim on paul’s “Rob Enderle is a fear mongering lunatic” That dude is pretty much always wrong.
