  • Shoulda tweeted earlier, but… Live on my webcam right now: guy replacing cracked windshield on my car! http://t.co/GdS38uOH4A 00:27:36
  • He's actually already been at it about 30-40 minutes. Old windshield already off. http://t.co/GdS38uOH4A 00:29:27
  • Reading – Hillary Clinton Warns Against U.S. Intervention In Iraq (Ruby Cramer) http://t.co/MAAuweA6vr 01:27:25
  • Windshield all done. No more show. 02:20:57
  • Just switched to a diff audio player for the podcast. Only the last ep, not the old ones. Tell me what you think. http://t.co/WobfETYtQ4 02:33:49
  • Crap, it did mess up the older podcasts. I thought I’d avoided that. Sigh. Let me see if I can fix. 02:36:47
  • OK, fixed all the podcast posts back to 2012-04-15 to use the new podcast player. Before that there are different players, but they work. 03:01:51
  • Of course, I just realized that audio player plugin doesn't have a non-flash fallback, so doesn't work on iOS. Too bad, I liked it. :-/ 03:31:29
  • Turns out when messing with the audio player screwed up the old posts in a way that limits me from switching to a new player again easily. 04:14:25
  • Which means I may be restoring from a backup from a little before I started futzing. 04:15:17
  • But then I figured, if I’m going to do that anyway, maybe it is time to finally move the main part of my site to my new host. 04:15:48
  • I’ve been putting it off and putting it off. Maybe it is time. So I guess I will begin… Gulp. 04:16:20
  • Of course, starting to move my stuff has temporarily broken my poll analysis and some other things that were already on the new server. Joy. 06:10:51
  • Reading – Why The Spectacular Success of ISIS Will Be Its Eventual Undoing (John Little) http://t.co/ouIqTqnYjD 06:24:45
  • My files are still moving between servers, but I fixed the poll site. http://t.co/uKPQnh7foV Woo? 07:47:44

  • Reading – 11 facts that explain the escalating crisis in Iraq (@zackbeauchamp) http://t.co/gUkATWuagh 16:45:57
  • So far not seeing stuff that makes me think US inv would help prevent or reduce death & destruction in Iraq. So right answer = Do Nothing. 17:06:23
  • Or is there something I am missing? We might “like” one side better, but do we actually believe us bombing would PREVENT more deaths? 17:07:20
  • I suspect it might actually make things worse. Just like it would have in Syria. 17:07:44
  • And by some reports, people on the ground in some areas are welcoming ISIS. Perhaps that is propaganda, but if true then perhaps… 17:09:07
  • …perhaps the best way forward is actually to let them have their territory. Maybe not. But shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand. 17:11:03
  • BTW, not saying ISIS are nice guys and would be wonderful for people in areas they control, especially people who don’t share their beliefs. 17:13:12
  • But looking for the path that gets you to less violence as quickly as possible. Also, bonus if we don’t entangle ourselves in local affairs. 17:14:16
  • PS: I liked the Biden partition plan idea in 2008, and still like it today. Probably would have given better result. :-) Go Biden! :-) 17:17:11
  • There really are good reasons for federalism… 17:18:39
  • Off the cuff thoughts over. Should I have just blogged that instead? But then I would have had to think in coherent paragraphs. Oh well. :-) 17:20:31
  • BTW, kid home sick. Still coughing and wheezing like last night. Still sleeping, although fitfully. Poor guy. 17:22:24
  • His mom has the same cough too. Fun day at the Abulsme household. (I’m WFH starting in the afternoon.) 17:23:26
  • Since I was at work until 1 AM, not home till 2 AM, and up a good portion of the night, I’m doing a slow start to the day. :-) 17:24:18
