Just realized I have shmuts all over my shirt and it’s probably been there all day. πŸ˜•

Corn and asparagus on Big Green Egg. Simple today.

Making some coffee with the Yama Cold Brew Tower.

Letting the coffee bloom in the Chemex.

Great morning for Kubb & Koffee.

Good morning Urban Bean Coffee.

The Collaborative Technology Summit 2012

  • At The Collaborative Technology Summit event on panel 2 talking about 8thBridge and evolution of tech in Minnesota!
  • Had fun on panel with Erin Newkirk of Red Stamp. Thanks for good questions from moderator and attendees.
  • Listening to friend and former colleague Jim Bernard on panel. Great joke from Jim Bernard: “I’m actually an expert on everything that Jamie is an expert on so thats fine.”
  • Comments on AWS having poor security a bit misleading. AWS in IaaS, calling it insecure is FUD.
  • Last panel with Robert Stephens and Nancy Lyons. Both great speakers. Looking forward to it.

At George and the Dragon for first time and I’ve got a major crush. Loving it!

I ran this command in the wrong directory!

sudo find . -type f -print -exec rm '{}' \;

luckily the damage is repairable, but plenty bad… and if anyone gives me crap for not using xargs, I’m ignoring you… meant to run that in /srv/www/wordpress/fastcgi_cache. Instead arrowed up and hit return in /opt/etc/nginx. Yeah.

We all had fun playing in the creek tonight after dinner.

On this day in 1997 Philip Hotchkiss, me and a team of 6 launched BigCharts.com. Great memories!

My Sessions at MinneBar 7

MinneBar 7 was just a little over a month ago and the videos the two sessions I did are now online.

Running a Virtual Server with Confidence

I gave one talk on Running a Virtual Server with Confidence. I got a lot of really good feedback from this session, people found it really useful and adopted a number of the suggestions I made. I didn’t use slides for this, instead I just walked through my build notes and shared that URL.

Every HTTP Status Code

Garrick and I also thought it would be fun to do a talk on Every HTTP Status Code. We made it fun and walked through each one.

Just created my very first MediaWiki bot! It’s working like mad for me right now. 😊

B-Squad 2012 Season Underway

Another year of Men’s Recreational E-League Softball has begun. The suspense is heavy this year. The B-Squad is playing well. A win taunts us.

Bakers Wife ridiculous today. Didn’t expect mothers day donut rush!

Nice macchiato Urban Bean Coffee! Think I overheard the Urban Bean brain trust brainstorming a Ham & Gruyere latte to follow the PB&J one. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Trampled by Turtles on the roof of our building!

My Running a VPS with Confidence session from Minnebar just got online.

Just sent a diff to add two Tag Cloud features to Semantic Results Format extension for Semantic MediaWiki.
