More info at the MNISPI.org site
It should be fun.

- watching season 1 of Torchwood via Netflix. Pretty good. Needs to either get darker or more humorous to be enjoyable long term. #
- @jwynia, Top # lists are useless and why any on-demand/streaming service won’t beat Netflix for a while. J’s Top 100 is far more interesting #
- a nice reminder that in more places than conventional wisdom allows, Wal-Mart is hope. cullect/53: http://culld.us/622283 #
- 97.8% of Americans make more than minimum wage. cullect/53: http://culld.us/588983 #
- Me: "Granola." Him: "Cooper, says it’s ‘granona’." #
- @sborsch, last time I rented a place (~5 yrs ago) – we found it sitting in a coffee shop browsing the bulletin board. #

- http://everyblock.com is about to launch. I’m interested, even it if involves newspapers. cullect/1: http://culld.us/619110 #
- my initial impressions when seeing the opening shots of GigaOm TV http://tinyurl.com/2ywmga : ‘boring’ or ‘porn’. Neither sound interesting. #

- @timelliott – I’m real anxious to listen to them (and some Talk Shows, and @gapingvoid’s latest, and an EconTalk). #
- "may", "might", "could" are words that belong in fear-mongering propaganda….not Public Radio news reports. #
- @timelliott – 65 feeds may not be as arbitrary as you think, @cullect reading lists feel best in that area http://culld.us/590301 – #
- The Law of Unintended Consequences – something I’ve been thinking about his election season – cullect/53: http://culld.us/599103 #
- catching up on twitter….missing that I can’t hide tweets I’m done with @ twitter.com like I can elsewhere. 😉 #
- @croncast – re: new theme. Thanks! #
- posits 2 things; 1. things (news, invites, memes) move faster on twitter than on facebook. 2. things move faster on email than either. #
- @misc – your feed import is complete: http://cullect.com/68 #
- @pfhyper, @swirlspice – something I got in email 2 days ago is just hitting facebook now (actually it hasn’t hit twitter yet). #
- @truetone – interesting. I have twitter, facebook, etc – email me all direct messages, so does that make email the best way to reach me? #

Restarting Rails with ‘Address Already in Use’
iTerm crashed on my this morning taking down my development Rails process. Now, I’m busy tailing cullect.com‘s production.log and listening to some podcasts so I didn’t want to restart1
A little Googling found John Nunemaker’s year-old, “Oops I did it again” post.
His tips worked. An I’m rewriting the following for Future Reference2:
$ ps aux | grep script/server
To get the process id you need to kill
$ kill [PID #]
1. My standard way of restarting Rails in this situation.
2. If memory serves, this was the name of the first inhouse blog I started .
Where Did I Rant About Truncated Feeds?
Mark and Ed pulled me into a web advertising and truncated vs. full feeds conversation.
Neither Mark nor I can find any writing/ranting I did on truncated feeds (these days I’m ambivalent – unsubbing is easy enough). If this rings a bell for you, can you put a pointer in the comments. Thanks.

- @timelliott – the world is at least 1 magnitude better. Bad news just travels faster and is easier to find. #
- @tom_elko – I’m technically not in Mpls, so I can’t. 🙂 #
- @tom_elko – at least, not as a primary. Might be worth getting a roaming account. #

Cullect.com Would Like to Thank ShareYourOPML
Dave Winer just retired share.opml.org, one of the early projects that was about discovering and sharing the feeds you read.
One of the things I liked about Share Your OPML is that I could point it at a URL of my feeds rather than uploading a file. I’m not a big fan of uploading when I have something sitting on a server already.
The only problem with this – the silo-ed nature of the current feed readers export to a file more easily than they export to a URL. ShareYourOPML gave out URLs.
Cullect has takes urls on the import and the export. Want the opml for Cullect.com/65 – the comedy reading list Aric and Cayenne are curating? here you go: http://cullect.com/65.opml.
Easy to share (and just one of the ways to share your reading list).
Want to see the other reading lists those feeds might be in? Pop over to http://cullect.com/65/feeds and look for ‘Also in…’.
Easy to discover (and just one of the ways to find new feeds in Cullect).
