Food on the Table is hiring – I’m looking for a great developer to work with us.  Read more at We Are Growing! | Food on the Table Blog.

On the 28th, I’ll be MC’ing the Austin On Rails meeting - (Meeting: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 @ 7-9 PM).

There’ll be four talks:

• Technical Feedback Loops – Marcus Irven
• Product Feedback Loops – Ash Maurya
• Process Feedback Loop – (me)
• How My Community Saved My Life – Mando Escamilla

My talk will be a short version of my recent Lone Star Ruby Conf. talk “Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please” or why I love continuous learning with continuous deployment. (video)

Check out the talks and hope to see you there!

Gotta love this…

FYI – we have a google voice number for Food on the Table -and forward it to our SkypeIn number.  However, at some point we realized that it wasn’t working. No matter what we did, we could not get a call to go thrugh Google Voice to SkypeIn.

Fortunately, I found an answer we had Skype set so that it  would only”Receive Calls to my online number” from people in my contact list.

Now that 37signals centralized their user management, my existing Fluid-based campfire doesn’t work. Specifically, I can’t login because it keeps opening a new window in my regular browser to login, instead of completing the login within Fluid.

I googled for “can’t use campfire with fluid” and similar, and no luck.  A little more digging and I found reference to Making Fluid Ssbs Browse Only Pages You Want – fluidapp | Google Groups.

All I had to do was to add *launchpad.37signals.com* to my whitelist of URL’s to browse in Fluid and it worked.

I’m posting this here so the next person may have a shorter route to find the answer.
