In Manhattan restaurant: “I have Internet and I have power, but I also have the crane. I live on 58th.”
Now have to figure out how soon we can get home. Given the current situation, I’m betting the earliest is Thursday.
“Parking meter rules suspended today”. Oh, really?
The point of this declaration eludes me.
Peeked through hotel window curtains. Video screens in Times Square still going. People and cars still moving around.
Light rain in Manhattan. People and cars still moving around, but most retail establishments are closed. #sandy
Stuck in NYC.
“Bring in the Menonites.”
(On the features of a hotel bathroom) “That’s not a shower. That’s a tsunami.”
I think I need to try this for my next hard problem (the different location part, not the dead trees part): http://calnewport.com/blog/2012/09/05/solutions-beyond-the-screen-the-adventure-work-method-for-producing-creative-insights/ #problemsolving #think
This morning’s atmospheric groove to get things gradually moving: Contagious Orgasm’s “Escape”. Percussion that sort of burbles along in the background.
#Android #ePub readers, based on ability to render “Practical Vim”:
Aldiko: fail 😠 Bluefire Reader: fail 😠 Moon+ Reader Pro: fail 😠
Mantano: success 😀
Surprised that I like @instapaper better on Nexus 7 than on iPad/iPhone. I’d probably like ePubs on Nexus 7 better as well, if there was an ePub app with a renderer that didn’t suck ass (Practical Vim is illegible in everything). PDFs are better on iPad.
Hands cold? Find a place with questionable cellular signal and hold an iPhone while it struggles to keep a connection.
High class lunch — samples at Costco.
Now have a folder just for #ADN clients.
Obviously, @nelstrom has never met Damian Conway.
“If you have to look down to find the keys on the keyboard, the benefits of learning Vim won’t come fast. Learning to touch type is imperative.”
Adding meat to vegetarian food.
The big feature that @netbot has that other #ADN clients don’t: crossposting to #Twitter.
A new #ADN client? Must purchase! Gotta collect them all!
Will probably need to move all the clients out of the Internet folder in to their own folder.
Whee! Got spam on brand-new, not-yet-used email address. Was caught by @pobox spam filters, but shows email providers get stuff sent to random addresses.
