Hey @thinkgeek, any chance of continuing The Girl Effect donations once the Mary Shelley shirts are back in stock?
@nicolibrarian I don’t know leaving out the chainsaws is a pretty big disservice to the world too…. :D
@maxey2005 well as long as the sun wasn’t out in the middle of that, it has the possibility of a short day, guessing this isn’t your case.

@nicolibrarian ouch!
@nicolibrarian just flipped over to your twitter page and saw “Now with 100% more baby on board.” very cute!
@nicolibrarian if you’re looking at long term preservation/identification, the transience of urls could be a problem.
@nicolibrarian … and both rfc2396 and (http://www.w3.org/TR/uri…) seem to hint that distinction, they don’t say it that way.
@nicolibrarian I was thinking that uri’s were suppose to be more persistent style identifiers than urls which are location base…
meyerweb As @cwilso once rightly observed: say what you want about Clippy, he knows way more about Office than any of us ever will.
@nicolibrarian I usually go with URL 2x: b) from what I remember of the original distinction, more in keeping with how most are used today
@nicolibrarian I usually go with URL 2x: a) more people know what you’re talking about.
ghc IMPORTANT! Grace Hopper 2010 is going to sell out SOON. if you really want to go, please register This. Week. http://ghc10r #ghc10 plz RT

@lgvelazco Always seemed to work fine, :(
@lgvelazco on the topic of odd Safari issues, is there a reason I don’t get the new bing maps interface or the link to use it in Safari?
@lgvelazco :( nope. Looked like standard page for upd. browser and had links to each. Noted could continue, possibly without all features.
@lgvelazco Tried just now to repro:couldn’t. Was already logged in and reading messages. Try to note better in future. (10.6.4 Safari 5.0.1)

@nicolibrarian good luck!
ok, it’d be harder to implement, but wouldn’t @twitter’s “Who to follow” be more helpful if based on more than just following’s followings?
@adactio’s @abookapart HTML5 book, was a fun reminder of why I don’t like it HTML5 as a whole, but did highlight some nice things about it.
forgot to write about it when I finished the book, but @adactio’s @abookapart HTML5 book had a really nice way of including hyperlinks.
