Oh and of course it’s Accentuate the Positive. Sorry I’m a little slow. 😆

[Jonathan Slate @jslate]

@onthemedia Shazam tells me it was Accentuate the Positive performed by Syd Dale. Can’t find it that track on Spotify or YouTube but I’m loving the rest of the catalog, almost completely unironically!

@SammyRaeMusic Awesome! Now do the Dead and Canned Heat songs by the same name? 😊 Looking forward to seeing you all on the road in Boston!

Been using https://t.co/6nhA3xfKRO as my domain for a while now. It just occurred to me to see what that top level domain really is. Turns out it’s the country code for #Somalia. I wonder if the people of that country get any benefit. If not maybe someone can suggest a charity.

[Jonathan Slate @jslate]

Nope, that’s per pound. Well same idea. Why should I be penalized for not wanting to waste plastic? A lot of thinking has to change.

[Jonathan Slate @jslate]

Save $.30 when you waste some plastic! What a deal! @GSK

@NewportJazzFest there’s so much wonderful about the festival but I don’t understand why you have this chair height requirement and then you don’t enforce it at all. We spent $100 on new chairs and now we can’t see anything past the people who didn’t bother.

@skryking @PengyinShan @coreyja_dev @CodeGuru42 @railsconf You aren't sure? 😆

[Jonathan Slate @jslate]

@PengyinShan @coreyja_dev @skryking @CodeGuru42 great to connect at @railsconf home ed.! Who's up for trying an every other week small dev team tech discussion? I've got one more who is not on Twitter afaik.

@actblue @AbortionFunds Nice, a solved problem! Okay now just have to get the people. 😆

[Jonathan Slate @jslate]

Hey @actblue, you process donations for @AbortionFunds? I was wondering, is it possible to set up a fund that just goes directly to that, but allows a group of friends to see their collective impact? Or maybe there’s some other way to do something like that?

[Jonathan Slate @jslate]

@the_datababe If you are setting yourself up for pain, then no, but if you just need to say, "okay, yes, this is good enough," then go for it!

[Jonathan Slate @jslate]

@railsconf I'm in now, thanks, it wasn't clear that I needed to login to Hopin, imo

[Jonathan Slate @jslate]

1. go to fix some small bug
2. get fed up with some implementation that affects large parts of the app
3. make massive changes that seem like a real improvement
4. realize that the implications of the change are too far reaching to complete at this time 😭

@HappenHerePod in case it’s useful for your lawn episode… https://t.co/PsKI9unQqB

@SteveStockman ❤️your book! Recently met an aspiring videographer in Malawi & working with him to raise money for https://t.co/YwbsjSr7qu — Sent kindle ed. and spent an hour getting him through registration because of international SMS issues. Now this. Suggestions?

[Jonathan Slate @jslate]

Yay, my employer said sure, go ahead and register for @railsconf home edition! I wonder if I’ll run into anyone I know. Geez it’s been a while since I’ve interacted with people…
