Taking the afternoon off for the tennis qtrfinals--lineup looks great. #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter http://davemessina.com/2008/10/10/the-daily-twit-4/ 11:49 @troutman What?! No holster for that label-maker? Tsk, tsk... #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter http://davemessina.com/2008/10/08/the-daily-twit-3/ 17:14 @arareko If google reader doesn't cut it, try NetNewsWire. That's the one I've settled on. # 17:17 New build of DASher went faster than expected, thanks to NetBeans (SO much better than Eclipse). That means Dave has more tennis time. :) #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter http://davemessina.com/2008/10/07/the-daily-twit-2/ 17:46 Back at the tennis tourney. Couldn't resist. twitpic.com/evkf #Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter http://davemessina.com/2008/10/07/the-daily-twit/ Apartment Therapy takes a look at an amazing example of a mid-century modern home in Los Angeles. Paging through the slideshow, I'm struck by how the changes in depth and texture and the attention to detail show how an open-plan design, even a busier, more complicated one like this, can be ... http://davemessina.com/2008/07/29/mid-century-modern-wow/ So after a long year's wait, the iPhone finally came to Sweden, and thus to me. Was I one of those crazies who waited in line the first night to get one? Uh, yep. Was that a wee bit of overkill? Maybe, but much of the world is sold out of the 16 GB ... http://davemessina.com/2008/07/22/iphonery/ The help system on my Leopard installation has lost track of most of its help files.

For instance, there seems to be a lot of stuff like this: Billion Dollar Climate and Weather ... http://davemessina.com/2007/11/13/130/ That's who I really look like (or used to, much to my eternal shame). Who the heck are these people? http://davemessina.com/2007/11/03/wheres-sean-astin/ These days I pretty much always use Subversion — I have come to rely on it to save me when I manage to mangle, delete, or otherwise befoul previously working code.

Unfortunately, FileMerge doesn't conform to ... http://davemessina.com/2007/09/18/finally-i-can-use-filemerge-with-subversion/
