Righty-o. So the wheels need to be fixed or "fixed"?

*cough* well I'm a developer, and use a Mac at work... I have to say that browser in/compatibility sucks the big one... but seriously, Firefox FTW

Saw you at Urbane as you were leaving, duppy... I called out but dunno if you saw or recognised me with the ol' hi-vis vest and mountain bike.

You in at Urbane tonight operator? I'll be dropping by after 5.

Keith: in future, are you still accepting jobs like wheel true/spoke fixes? I'd prefer to send the business your way if you don't mind and my roadie back wheel gets a royal beat down once in a while.

Yeah, I keep telling them that when they're making web apps to develop for Firefox and fix it for IE, rather than the other way around. Obviously stuff's gotta work in IE, but it's a lot easier to do it my way than vice versa. If it doesn't work in Firefox it probably doesn't work in Safari/Opera/Netscape/etc either. Oh wells.

Awesome, since I'm now officially a Baking teacher, I'll get my kids to make one for you. But you have to do a running dropkick for on a la mode.

And yes Dan, pie is the correct choice.

Is this Friday a safety one? I don't think I'm catering Friday so I should be able to make it.

You can bring your bike inside if you'd like, but there is also a couple of posts right by my house too!

I'll be working all day tomorrow so I won't be checking PMs. If anyone would like to stop by PM zippered for our address.

I'm at the shop 'til 7 so come over anytime after 8ish.

i usually get a bit bummed working nights when everyone else is out having a good time but tonight i had the privelage of assisting in preparing apps for a party in honour of calvin klein's 2007 lingerie collection complete with fashion show and dozens of nearly-naked very fit women (and the occational buff guy with stuffed underpants). could have been the best day i've spent in a kitchen. i'm just now regaining my composure; if i can't be out cycling i may as well be doing something else gratifying?

BTW - mike, i finally sourced a front rack - a little nitto thing that i won the auction for on ebay...
