A few weeks back I was at out Austin Office and took some shots from the roof. Here are a couple. I am behind on a number of blog related things, but hope to catch up this weekend. Full set here: (http://flickr.com/photos/sean_reiser/sets/72157605946043274/)

I get asked this question a lot. So I'll let you all in on the secret.  The statute of limitations is well up so it's time to let the cat out of the bag, as it were.  Let me tell you a story....

The story starts 100 years ago (well the mid to late 80's), when men were men and wrote code in ASM, no C#.NET, no perl, no Ruby. Rails is what TMRC used for trains not writing code.   Pascal and BASIC were for children who couldn't handle knowing where things were in memory.  It was Assembler or run the risk a lifetime of abuse.

I'm in Austin, TX the rest of this week and heading up the Houston for the weekend, for meetings at Dell. If you're local to that region and want to grab some dinner Thursday, let me know. sean@seanreiser.com

Work's been busy so I haven't posted much. I have 20 half written posts in my queue to finish... maybe some writing on the plane to Austin later in the week, when I visit Dell.

As I get a lot of traffic for integrating Disqus and Drupal I wanted to help publicize Rob Loach's Disqus Module. It looks like it's for Drupal 6 only right now, so you'll still need my hacky howto if you're planning on using Drupal 5, but if you're using Drupal 6, Rob's module is the way to go!

Thanks Rob!

Inspired by twitter blaming @scobleizer for their stability problems I have decided to use him as a scapegoat for everything.

Essential Responsibilities and Duties

Some random shots I had and never got around to posting

Enjoy!

Walk through monument park before the game with some friends. Didn't snap as many shot as I normally would since I was distracted by some folks around me. The full set is here http://www.flickr.com/photos/sean_reiser/sets/72157605172765129/

I've been sitting here today reading tweets and posts from folks preparing for tomorrow's twit-out as they try to synchronize their twitter and friendfeed / jaiku / pounce / brightkite / other messaging platform lists and it's occurred to me that we've created nightmare when it comes to managing our social graphs, the process of re-adding all your friends / buddies / people you follow / etc is painful at best and impossible at worst.  As I join new services I find myself bouncing into my favorite followers websites, friendfeed, etc to see if they have mentioned using whatever the new service is.  To be honest a good part of the reason people don't leave twitter is they don't need to recreate their social graph elsewhere.
