Gesture Deja Vu…..I haven’t read Steve Gilmor for a while now, so I kept having to check the post date on his Gesturesphere post. I swear I read the first 3 paragraphs more than 2 years ago. Perhaps, like Don Sobol, Gillmor re-uses a handful of intros with each gesture.

Safari 3.0b on the Mac seems to get overwhelmed easily. After a few dozen websites, it acts like the network connection is dead. Quitting and reopening seem to help. So does spending more time in Camino

I had attributed the following quote to Chuck Olsen. Over lunch last week, he denied credit for it. Looks like I mixed up my film makers. “Every edit is a lie.” – Jean-Luc Godard

Joyent ps pipe grep #16 starts out discussing home coffee roasting. Then they dig into the regular übergeek stuff. If they keep this up, I’ll just do an .htaccess redirect from the First Crack podcast to Joyeur. 😉 Another great quote from the podcast: “Ruby is Java for people that hate Java.”
