  • Having our kitchen measured. Time to replace it. #
  • @grantmichaels If only I could do that, then send it right to Ikea. #
  • You know it’s going to expensive when they call it an “Espresso System.” #
  • @grantmichaels Built-in from Miele. #
  • LazyTwitter engage! Is there a book for functional programming that is considered *the* book? #

Scala: Silly things I’ve done. 0

I had a list of objects, say like this:

val l = List("aaa", "bbb", "ccc")

and I wanted to produce something like this:

<td id=IDaaa>aaa</td>
<td id=IDbbb>bbb</td>
<td id=IDccc>ccc</td>

I first did this:

l.map(u => <td id="ID" + {u}>{u}</td>)

and that failed, unsurprisingly. That’s not even close to valid xml.

The real way is this:

l.map(u => <td id={"ID" + u}>{u}</td>)

  • @kevsmith Awesome! #
  • I really like reading articles by Daniel Spiewak: http://snurl.com/36hh2 #
  • @kevsmith Make sure to point out the concepts of erlang and erlang/otp. I was confused by that at the start. #
  • @strawpoll (2) Debit - carry as little unneeded debt as possible. #
  • @kevsmith Sounds like a good plan. #
  • Robbie Keane to Liverpool? What? He’s going to play off Torres? So odd. http://snurl.com/36itu #
  • Not sure about how my 24 hour fast is going to go today. Looks like it will be about 18 hours. CrossFit was grueling this morning. #
  • @paulwill I attempt one 24Hour fast a week. The stress promotes Growth Hormone release. It’s a black box experiment on my body composition. #
  • @paulwill - It doesn’t hurt, the feeling of hunger comes in waves. Water and black tea help. #
  • @paulwill Yup, the rest of my routine stays the same. :) #
  • @ryancarson Hell ya you should, it’s just hair. #
  • A coworker is selling chocolate almonds for charity. In related news, I’m full of chocolate almonds. #

Woo, this was pretty rough.

120 SDHP - 45#
120 Thrusters - 45#

9:59. I was surprised I was under 10 minutes. I did all of the High Pulls and then all of the Thrusters. I wonder how time would be different if I did 6 rounds of 20/20? Other than the first set of HP, I was doing sets of 20 and then 10.

I should try it again.

Clover Coffee Maker in Toronto 0

Clover Coffee Maker

Googling for “clover coffeemaker toronto” leads me to this post at BlogTO.

For a little history on the Clover, it’s an $11,000 Coffee Maker. Starbucks bought them in March 2008 and will be rolling the machines out to the remaining stores.

Previous to the purchase Crema Coffee picked up a Clover and I will be heading down to sample the fare.

  • @importantshock re: new Ratatat, it’s awesome. Thanks for reminding me. Are you on Last.fm? Add “tjweir” if you are. #
  • @importantshock - One more thing, Ratatat is great coding music. #
