Twitter and Ruby on Rails, and Irony

The following tweet by Twitter's Evan Williams is in response to a story on TechCrunch that suggested Twitter plans to abandon Ruby on Rails.

Twitter / Evan Williams: FWIW: Twitter currently has...

"FWIW: Twitter currently has no plans to abandon RoR. Lots of our code is not in RoR, already, though. Maybe that's why people are confused."

When I saw the above link on reddit to Evan William's tweet, I clicked on it. The Twitter web site responded with the correct page. I then clicked on the "Evan Williams" link below the tweet. But Twitter wouldn't respond.

I've been trying and trying to load that page on Twitter while I write this, but no dice. Maybe Evan should reconsider.

Ted Rall says D.C. cops must "Arrest Bush"

Yahoo! News: ARREST BUSH

"When the U.S. signs a treaty, its provisions carry the full force of U.S. law. One such treaty is the U.N. Convention Against Torture, of which the U.S. is a core signatory. ... George W. Bush has publicly confessed that he ordered torture, thus violating the Convention Against Torture. He, Cheney, Rumseld, Rice and the other Principals must therefore be arrested and, unlike the thousands of detainees kidnapped by the U.S. since 9/11, arraigned and placed on trial."

HRC says: "Rich people, god bless us"

TheZoo: Excuse me….who’s an elitist?

"Rich people, god bless us. We deserve all the opportunities to make sure our country and our blessings continue to the next generation."

Hopefully she doesn't mean that literally and she'd actually leave some opportunities for the rest of America...

MacBook Pro, sometimes my display won’t wake from sleep

This problem is widely reported on Apple's Support discussion groups, I haven't checked it lately but last time I did there was no known solution.

Sometimes I can get an external display to work even if the main display won't, but it's not perfect. I have to reboot the machine to get the main display back.

I really hope Apple fixes this soon, I've never had so many issues with sleep with a Mac as I had with this MBP (2.4GHz), my first Intel-based Mac. Actually I've pretty much never had any issues with any of my Macs before this one.
