Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:40:55 GMT 10207949974 Spent afternoon being frustrated by JavaScript. Will probably spend evening being frustrated by Core Data. I like programming, right? Right?

Several great ideas today. Mon, 08 Mar 2010 05:48:28 GMT 10158282855 Dinner tonight: @fattedcalf's pancetta wrapped pork tenderloin, Brussels sprouts, flageolets. To drink: the rest of last night's white Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:45:51 GMT 10150025383 (2 billion screwcaps was the number in Wines & Vines in 08, which is why I'm thinking missing decimal point.) Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:24:31 GMT 10143494896 Back from library with articles in hand.Saw a claim that screwcaps went from 300m wine bottles in 03 to 17bn in 09.Missing decimal, I think?

To drink: Parducci's "Sustainable White" (sample) Sun, 07 Mar 2010 02:15:42 GMT 10100475439 My heart goes out the @officialbfbc2 team. Server problems on launch are the suck, and community outrage just adds to the stress. Sun, 07 Mar 2010 02:09:49 GMT 10100245489 Any of you programmers have experience with any of the Objective-C JSON libraries? Need to add support to Mise En Place.
