Currently stranded at Stockholm airport following a delayed flight causing me to miss the connection to Istanbul. Airport bureaucracy knows no bounds! Talked to 6 (all very friendly and helpful) different people at 4 different desks, accumulated several additional sheets of paper, called people in three different countries, and now I might be able to rebook a later flight (crosses fingers).
Sarven Capadisli@csarven ha ha, that really triggered my metaphor extrapolation addiction — I immediately thought “so PDFs go bad quickly, but… help to ripen other formats left nearby?”

@tungufoss cool! Anywhere I can find it to watch/listen online?
Happy ridiculous, confusing date format day! #justUseISO8601 #itsAnUnambiguousStandardDammit #piday #imagineThatLastHashtagWithAirQuotes
Self esteem tip: rather than searching the web for “how to [do xyz basic life skill you really should know by now]”, search for “optimal [xyz basic life skill] technique”.
Very excited to announce that next week I’ll be travelling to Turkey to play hurdy #gurdy at World Wood Day 2015 in Eskişehir!
Really looking forward to visiting Turkey and meeting everyone else involved.

For example, I’d love to read something like Terry Bisson’s Meat, but where the narrators are repulsed by the fact that humans have to traverse 3D space, most often between artifically constructed bounded areas, in order to achieve their goals.

Articles like this one are the reason seriouseats.com is my favourite food blog. So much good information, so many excellent recipes. Making their French Onion Soup this evening.

Is there anything besides film, software or a rash that you "develop"? What a dumb verb.

@evanpro in British English you can develop an idea, develop land, develop a technique or product, and now I’ve developed semantic satiation from thinking about the word “develop” too much :)

finds some closure on a few orphaned notebooks. They've been re-routed to the proper home. The new scholarship awardees will enjoy them now.

@briansuda if these are the ones I think they are, props to Analog for handling them in such a human way
First thing I did after getting home from Germany was make mango lassi. @brennannovak, you are to blame for this fruity yoghurty deliciousness!

The llama thing was about a couple llamas that escaped and caught national attention. CNN even had a llama in the studio last night. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/surprise/2015/02/26/sun-city-llamas-on-the-loose-abrk/24068713/

@acegiak oh, that’s actually a pretty cool optical illusion! Thanks :)

Buying viola strings at justmusic.de in Berlin is a weird process. You choose the strings at the desk on the top floor, who give you a piece of paper and tell you to go to the ground floor. By the time you’ve got there, the strings have arrived in a little vacuum tube thing, and you pay for them.
I’m not entirely sure how this works for the pianos and do not intend on buying one to find out, unless they have a vacuum-tube to Iceland as well.

I’m confused, isn’t that exactly what the method you linked to (request.data) provides?

@kylewm only if the data isn’t in a “format understood by Flask” (a list of which is not given). Apparently it’s empty if the data has been processed by Flask.
Python-land: where it’s apparently acceptable for a popular “micro” web application library to not provide a consistent way of accessing raw request data.
I’m looking at you, Flask.
