Interesting for the conference planning and web-site-traffic handling discussion. Also: sock knitters are as obsessed about getting their tickets as Ignite Portland attendees.

Really wishing I could ditch this headache.
Wondering if I should paint my nails before @selenamarie and I appear on @strangelovelive tonight.
BTW, @pgesch rocks for being on top of things when everything is getting hectic. #seriously
Having weird SMS interactions between my iPhone and Lucas’ g1. The g1 is suddenly sending regular text as MMS. But only sometimes.

Having crepes with blueberry compote and sour cream for the 2nd lunch in a row. Yum. I need to cook more lunches like this.
Despite being way too wet, it’s delicious. I just wish I could get the custard to set.
Every quiche I make comes out too wet. What’s the deal? How do I fix this?
Having a mojito while tonight’s quiche (chard, chives, and smoked mozzarella) bakes.
RT @selenamarie: Book a room for @osbridge now, get the early bird rate, do your victory dance http://bit.ly/3neHaW
Aha, oven temperture problem. I put it back in at 375 and now it sets.
Introducing Lucas to the Buffy musical episode.
Headachy from clenching my jaw in my sleep. Dreamt about miscommunication, not paying attention.

So happy I don’t have to go anywhere today. Just staying home and getting work done.
Trying to figure out why IE is being dumb this time.
Trim is my favorite Photoshop feature today. So handy.
At code n splode. - at CubeSpace http://shz.me/69U
Giggling at @igalko’s description of my side projects as some kind of cult activity. But it’s a friendly one!
Hoping this is the last funeral I go to for a while.
Wishing I had lemon pie. Though I do have smoked mozzarella/sausage/chives pizza about to go in the oven. And cranberry vodka.
Trying to make sense of my inbox.

By Igal. I’m flattered… I think?
Earlier this weekend, I realized that I may have become part of a dangerous
cult after having the following conversation at the foodcarts:

This is really frustrating.
Bah, I think the naan and tortilla recipes I was using were one of the casualties of the magnolia disaster.
Thinking about heading to green dragon then @whiffies with @pgesch.
Mayor Adams Meets with Local Tech Community... →
On Sunday, May 18, Mayor Adams met with leaders from Portland’s tech community as part of the Mayor?s plan to meet with 100 Businesses in 100 days.
Wondering how I managed to forget to buy tea yesterday despite stopping at two different grocery stores.
Watching fireworks from a bus on the bridge.
Getting breakfast and veggies at the farmers market.
Tearing apart and redoing bad html is pretty satisfying.
This week there’s a dog on a choke collar tied to a tree outside the market. WTF? And who do I report it to?

Had to clean the Roomba a second time in one run. The cats must be shedding like crazy.
Wishing it was Friday. I’m ready for weekend side-project time.
Enjoying @reidab’s description last night of “WhereCamp planning season” as the time of year we can sit outside on patios & drink beer. :)
If you’d like to help plan this year’s WhereCamp PDX, this is a good time to join the mailing list: http://twurl.cc/zs8
