I'm heading over to Dublin in a few hours to
present at XTech and I'm wondering if anyone wants to meet up informally to meet/talk/hack Google App Engine.
I've set up an event on Upcoming. Please add your thoughts + tell me if the time is good. I think we should hold it at the hotel where the event's taking place for convenience.
Let me know your thoughts here, express your interest on the Upcoming page and/or contribute to this thread on the Google App Engine forums.
Oh my, I just realized that while I was on the phone to my friend Gilles, I ASCII art doodled in TextMate!

I normally doodle on paper when on the phone but, AFAIK, this is the first time I did it while using my laptop. Should I be worried? Or have I just reached a new level of geekiness?

I just put
Singularity on Upcoming. Express your interest in the conference by watching it or marking yourself as attending.
There's also a Singularity group on Upcoming to gather together all the various local meet-ups, venues, and events. Keep an eye on that too!

You tired, you poor, hungover masses yearning to Google... stop rubbing your eyes, Google has turned off the lights to support Earth Hour.
On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. On this day, cities around the world, including Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Dubai, and Tel Aviv, will hold events to acknowledge their commitment to energy conservation.
So now that Google's gone black, will it ever go back? Apparently.
As to why we don't do this permanently - it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they display.
So is black the new green? Read. More.

My daily Adobe Updater experience: Launch Photoshop. Cringe as I see the freakin' Adobe Updater icon jumping in the dock like a crazed puppy dog. Switch over to it. See the completely unhelpful dialog above (Which file? Where should I place it? Why should I care? Leave me alone!). Force quit Adobe Updater.

Moving to Wordpress 2.5 messed up my RSS feeds but I don't think it's an issue that should affect others (I had a unique setup).

Update: Restarting fixed it. And here's some user-contributed content courtesy of Amol:
