Someone want to create a Guava Project wikipedia page?

Personalization keeps thinking I like Guava the food, not guava the code/project.

There's one I/O secret hasn't been leaked AFAIK.  The band that will perform.

I hope, hope, hope it's Foster the People since I'm not going to their Friday show due to I/O time constraints..

Tired of being asked to check-in to "West Oakland Mental Health" instead of the Parking Lot to pick up the Google Shuttle.  Used Mapmaker to edit, but am seeing the bug described in here:

I suppose it would be a bad idea to comment publicly on this.

All I want to say is that you just need to use the report adsense abuse form:

https://support.google.com/adsense/bin/request.py?hl=en&contact_type=violation_report&rd=2

I had the older version of this form bookmarked when I was fending off Typepad spammers back in the day.

The best Electro-Rock band of the moment that's currently helping me burn the candle at both ends.

The best Electro-Rock band of the moment that's currently helping me burn the candle at both ends.  Think Daft Punk crossed with Rage Against the Machine, with a dash of Introduce Yourself era Faith No More.

Their top-10 single is below, but you'll find the rest of their repertoire rocks much harder.  Check out Palabra mi Amor for a taste:

SHAKA PONK - Palabra Mi Amor (feat. Bertrand Cantat) [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Or this set from the Paleo Music Festival:

Anyone want to help me complete my Shaka Ponk record collection?  I can't get you into Google I/O, but I'd happily pay triple and send you all the Google schwag you can handle..

 

 

Meebo offers a way to save your data as a tsv or zip file.  Can someone with Google Drive API experience talk to them about saving this data there instead?

Oh, and if anyone wants to help me buy something from the France iTunes store LMK before I go off and try to find gift cards from the far corners of the internet.
Happy to reciprocate too!









 

The Current described this well:

The Current described this well:

“All My Life” is futuristic gold that I only wish could loop on for another 10 minutes. Twin Cities vocal talent Jana Nyberg lends her chords to the first two tracks of this EP and it’s safe to say that without her this song would not be as complete. You can feel her body pulsating to the beat just as easily as yours probably will, and in an instant we’re transported back to the height of Studio 54. The All My Life EP is out now on Kitsuné.

The ITU *does* do a lot of good work,

I worked there from 96-99 and in some ways they are stuck in the past, but in many ways they are forward thinking and we wouldn't be here today without the work they've done.

I also think it's arguable that the gTLD-MoU would have been better than the ICANN disaster that we're living with today.

For those outside the Bay Area La Boulange is a small bakery that has expanded to dozens of locations in the Bay Area.  Their coffee is generally better than Starbucks and they offer casual dining with a french theme.

Wonder if they'll keep the free cornichon in the condiments counter?

Upgraded to Fedora 17 "Beefy Miracle" in-place on the same image I've had since Redhat 6.2.  It was a little more challenging than some upgrades due to moving everything into /usr, but overall it's working well.

And the origin of the name is pretty interesting, check it out:
