@adronbh @jasonmauer thanks!! #
suggestion via @jasonmauer, @adronbh: go with The Art of Unit Testing: with Examples in .NET http://bit.ly/Etw2B #
Thanks to @petereisentraut, give us feedback on what should go into 8.5! http://postgresql.uservoice.com/ #
@neil_conway cool idea re: password caching #
@morganpdx number of sides? 🙂 #
@jchris gross! 😀 #
haha. delighted to be scheduled for a pie date! #
And with the downpour and thunderstorm, DNS completely fails. Time for dinner! #

Finally got registered with the local embassy. 20+ webforms + slow/lossy inet == FAIL #
Exploring Nigeria this weekend http://tr.im/qWhq #
@dkeskar good idea! 😀 Ondo state is evaluting a txt-to-your-government system.I recommended they incorporate twitter/identica as well. #
thanks @demew @infixum @jasonmauer @darianapatrick @schmichael @gchaix @ctb @thesethings @FranckMartin @justinfreeman @kartar @irabanovich #
and @mherrick66 @ifindkarma consensus is Zimbra. will report how that goes. #
anyone have a wsj.com account? would like a PDF of this article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122332198757908625.html #
@ifindkarma Zimbra uses Postfix on the backend, and custom calendaring. #
@jasonmauer need to talk more when I get home, but why should it matter where I am? support, licensing/lockin, interop are the issues. #
@rzara thanks for the tip. worked perfectly! #
@jasonmauer nice try 🙂 your company thinks Nigeria should use Exchange. how do local skills play into it? #
@jasonmauer so you’re implying that it requires more tech skill to admin Exchange than Zimbra (or other FOSS alternative?) 🙂 #

@thesethings concern re: goog apps is inconsistent & slow inet to outside.gonna have internal microwave links between cities… #
@thesethings but fiber to outside world? totally crappy, no good upgrades on horizon. need to have service internal to country. #

Listening to Governor Mimiko speak at the Labor Party celebration for Dr. Adelola’s appointment #
“Ondo state was known as the reference point for education in Nigeria. Now, I cannot say the same.” -Mimiko #
“We must be competitive globally and must focus on education.” -Mimiko #
