- my response to Theo’s "disruptive postgresql community" comment – http://snurl.com/236ul #
- @br3nda i think we need more mentors and community that specifically recruits women. #
- @jchris using linux as your host? #
- @br3nda and we need to provide incentives that work for the mentors — should be men and women mentoring because all the women i know are… #

- @gorthx wish that you were here! #
- back from a great lunch discussion. more about how we can get in-place upgrades implemented #
- for postgresql #
- listening to a defense of denormalization from Gil Moskowitz #
- xtuple uses stored procedures in postgresql to return useful error messages, and then Qt to translate messages on the fly #
- (translate into different languages) – within 2 days of open sourcing the client, they had europeans asking about translations #
- people haven’t been as much interested in the code – more interested in *using* the app and putting in work to translate #
- applying constraints to the database is helping them to find longstanding bugs in their application. #
- @danblaker congrats!!! pics? 🙂 #

- @radiogretchen happy birthday!! #
- @ljbanks the clinton campaign uses "hillary" rather than "hillary clinton" or "hillary rodham clinton". not sexist – intentional marketing. #
- @ljbanks the campaign says that it reflects the human connection she has with her supporters. #
- @ljbanks sometimes marketing backfires :/ #

- hi @zrusilla! 🙂 #
- @linuxpoet gave a great summary of complaints we had about postgresql – good feature list for summer of code 🙂 http://snurl.com/22l80 #
- @linuxpoet field trip! summer time would be best. #
- @zrusilla just turned me on to act: http://act.mongueurs.net/ #

- @theory i know, all that talent from @linuxpoet, going to waste! #
- @linuxpoet we’re just teasing you 🙂 #
- @mtrichardson that’s awesome! 🙂 #
- @TiEsQue turning gmail IM off is persistent through sessions #
- @karolcooks XO Farmers market!! woo, #
- @karolcooks i am so on it!! #
- @TiEsQue maybe selectsmart? http://snurl.com/22fa9 #
- enjoyed nytimes magazine editorial on hapa kids. just was talking about chinese/caucasian kids with friend at postgresql meeting. #
- @TiEsQue did you look at that site? it has sources, it isn’t about his social skills 🙂 #
- @TiEsQue here’s what I read: huffington post, NYTimes Caucus blog, Daily KOS, Blue Oregon. I watch CSPAN and CNN coverage, and even FOX. #
- @TiEsQue I imagine @grigs has some good resources, but to really get in depth coverage, I find I have to read a lot, from several sources. #
- other sources: also the economist, the nation, youtube http://tinyurl.com/2wach6, the oregonian and even that stupid willamette week article #
- and I’m just gonna come out in say it: much analysis is overrated and wrong. people should trust their own judgment more-primary sources FTW #
- @jtkeith yeah! good one. #
- and WIM by "primary sources" is: look at what candidates say and do, not what analysts think about what they say and do. #
- @TiEsQue sure – but who do you trust for summary? i like huff post, but know they are biased; economist is good, but also biased. #
- @xolotl 🙂 i’d talk about this all day long if i could. i’m happy when people pick an issue, research it and decide for themselves. #
- @wendemm thanks for the link 🙂 #
