Cogito, Ergo Sumana for 2009 October 13

# 13 Oct 2009, 05:31PM: Presence & Status: I learned recently:

Empathy is an IRC client but does not (yet?) support slash-commands. Gobby is a really cool tool to let multiple people read, write, and chat about a document collaboratively from different computers. Kazoos are different from paper-rolly party noisemaker things. Leonard did set up a category for all his walktheplank.net blog posts. Absinthe makes the sides of the back of my tongue tingle slightly. Natives don't pronounce the "t" in "Montréal."

I'm half-remembering high school French as I read signs & overhear colleagues' conversations here in Montréal. Je me souviens!

# (1) 13 Oct 2009, 06:35PM: Le Line Du Punch: I'm planning on doing an open mic comedy show tomorrow night.

sumanah: I'm thinking scrum humor
sumanah: comparing the 3 questions of scrum to the 4 questions of passover
sumanah: it'll be a riot
sumanah: sorry, rioutte

Accidental comedy mentor Simon Stow used to perform stand-up here when he was getting his master's at McGill, so I'm coming full circle.

If I'm really on the ball, I'll see some improv tonight, too.
