Hi there, I’m Brian McKinney

Developer, designer, musician, recording engineer. In other words, I like to make things

Cheers to @worksology for fixing the awful lighting in the office. Jeers to K-State for making me work in a big room that is 80ºF most days

@sabrinaland Nicole Atkins’ Neptune City is an excellent album, be sure to give that a listen. BTW, I dig your music, good stuff.

@ericholscher I like your idea, but my job won't let me out of my cubicle, so maybe saying fuck it and doing it live is the way to go.

@thecurtain Yeah, some great instruments all over the place, but all the good stuff got way out of hand. That was my last instrument auction

The auction ended up being a complete waste of time. Two trolls from Big Dudes music (seriously) were trying to buy everything decent.

@thecurtain nope. A bunch of goof balls are bidding everything up.

@thecurtain I'm there at the live auction now, most of the nicer stuff is up pretty high.

Really tempted to buy a nice banjo at this auction.

@mills_jeff comedy of errors: a situation made amusing by bungling and incompetence

Working as a Web designer at a University is a comedy of errors.

Attempting to set up git on a test server.

Cool, just got some basic twitter integration going with my website, in anticipation of my trip.

Test Tweet.

@sabrinaland Regarding music suggestions, have you listened to Gemma Hayes, Nicole Atkins and the latest Rachael Yamagata?

Looking for a decent place to stay in Brisbane for the first few nights of my trip. In 31 days I'll be drinking a VB on an Aussie beach.

@jcroft @worksology Thanks for the info on django-pagination, I've got installed and it is incredibly easy to implement. Huge time saver.

@worksology Now that you mention it, it looks pretty good.

@worksology I initially dismissed django-pagination based on the assumption that it was querying the db for all objects, but not so.

Any Django people out there have opinions of the built-in pagination versus django-pagination?

@worksology I was using the built-in pagination. Should I switch to django-pagination?

Trying to figure out using pagination with date-based generic views in Django.

Crap. Just maxed out the Twitter API, will have to wait an hour before a second test.

@stephenparks Breaking up with your girlfriend frees up unbelievable amounts of guitar time.

Trying to take it a little easy tonight and relax for a bit. Slightly concerned I may be feeling yet another cold coming on.

Just finished watching Kind Hearts and Coronets — a classic British comedy. Alec Guinness plays 8 characters, definitely a huge thumbs up.

@nathanborror Congrats. Your design never ceases to inspire and readernaut is one beautiful web app.

Finishing up my night by playing guitar, which I've had more and more time to do recently, and have now realized how much it was missed.
