Wife just called me on phone, from bedroom to other room in house, to ask a question. Is that worse than asking on IM or email? #fb #
Maybe people will slow down with the Git hype. RT @dshuck: Yesterday Subversion became Apache Subversion. Cool! http://bit.ly/9MfMaL #
Reading Maven article in May NFJS mag by @matthewmccull . Let’s see if he can sell me. #maven #nfjs #
So the #maven article was good. Liked the analogy of Java POJO to Groovy POJO, massively cutting LOC and build.xml to pox.xml LOC saving #
However, @matthewmccull needs to write a follow-up so I can now use #maven after his cunning sales pitch #
@matthewmccull Yeah, good stuff. I’m working with a team that is new to maven but going to use it for a huge project. Frantic learning… in reply to matthewmccull #

Question for MacBook Pro users… Do you like the glossy or anti-glare screen? Why? #fb #
