How to transfer your Seesmic Desktop settings between two computers
May 21, 2009
After building out a fairly involved environment in Seesmic Desktop, I needed to copy it over to another computer. This information was a little hard to find. They don’t guarantee it will work for transfer between different operating systems. Good luck!
You’ll need to copy the file “xmlAdapter.xml” to the second computer. The location of this file varies by OS.
Seesmic Desktop - Transferring Settings between Computers - workaround

It would be great to see an import/export feature in an upcoming release.

Netflix Tales
September 8, 2008
(Update: After sharing this story with a few friends, I was encouraged to send it to Leah Garchik at the San Francisco Chronicle. A few days later it appeared in print. Thanks Leah!)
This morning while walking to the J line stop on Church Street, I needed to stop at the blue post box on the corner to drop off one of those little red Netflix envelopes.
As I approached the post box, a frail little old lady was also approaching, but from the opposite side, and half a second closer than me.
I politely yielded to her, and to my surprise, after she released her letter, she looked up at me and said, “What movie did you watch?”
Being a little off balance without caffeine on a Monday morning, and also a bit stunned from her knowledge of Netflix, I quite innocently responded, “Snatch”.
But before the word finished leaving my mouth I knew what I had done, and without missing a beat began rapid firing my defense, “It’s with Benicio Del Toro…a British film…directed by Guy Ritchie…Brad Pitt is in it too…it’s about a boxer and a heist”.
Her response was simply, “Sounds more like a porno.”
