201211.07 @ 22:46. On 2012.11.07 at 22:46. I am in a hotel in an undisclosed location, pondering my life. I want to write more books. I WANT TO WRITE MORE BOOKS. My soul rises up in a curl of repudiation, like my elder dog facing a coyote. When can I write books again? It will be a few years yet, I'm afraid. At 2012-11-08 06:36 (UTC). And I want to read them. At 2012-11-08 06:44 (UTC). You are kind. (How long it's been since I've seen you! At 2012-11-08 06:43 (UTC). At 2012-11-08 06:44 (UTC). And tho I h...

After the dead horses. April 25, 2010. We’ve had a fair bit of fun here lately, pointing out the silliness of those who are supposed to be the intellectual leaders of the right, in its libertarian, neoconservative and Republican tribalist versions. But, as quite a few commenters have pointed out (one using the same, maybe Oz-specific, phrase that occurred to me) the exercise does seem to savor a bit of flogging dead horses. Overall, as I said on my blog a while back. Practitioners of this kind of manager...

Amazon’s price discrimination — Crooked Timber
http://crookedtimber.org/2008/12/22/amazons-price-discrimination
Amazon’s price discrimination. December 22, 2008. Amazon is quoting me a higher price than it’s quoting my friend, on the same product. I knew this was theoretically possible, of course, but I didn’t realize online stores engaged in these practices much these days. After all, is it really worth annoying customers when they find out? For the Prime membership and shopping at Amazon a lot is higher prices. No thank you. Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC6. If not, do you get $14.14 or less? No, of course th...

Bundler: Oh the fail I know. | Marked As Pertinent
https://markedaspertinent.wordpress.com/2010/03/08/bundler-oh-the-fail-i-know
Rails, design, art, business by BJ Clark. Bundler: Oh the fail I know. First, a disclaimer: I don’t want to be negative. I am only writing this because I feel it deserves attention by the community and because I love Rails so much that the fact that something is making me lose faith in it truly makes me a little sad. Anyway, on to the fail. . . Builder 0.8 soon followed suit (I believe in January) and messed us up by changing the path inside the bundler folder that all the gems where kept at to be na...
