@Are0h Mostly. Enough.

@mattcropp Well, I wouldn't be terribly informative. Mostly, I'm fighting Google's gravity. The leading contender is currently Zoho.

[co-op developer hat on] So, I'm looking for a CRM to track potential new co-ops and then print off nifty reports about them. Any advice? I have to share it with people who are bright but not tech experts.

@garbados I'm pretty sure there isn't one.

So, I'm at a bar called Modern Times. That's reasonably cool right off. Then it has highly eclectic art with the warning "TOUCHING ART IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH." And the bathrooms are wallpapered with pages from obscure comic books. And the walls are papered with obscure posters. And they have Duck Hunt recreated in Lego. And they have self-indulgent varieties of beer brewed 30 feet away.

At last, I found a reason to return to LA.

Hanging out at #wcnc18. Met @mattcropp in the flesh. Took eight pages of notes in two days, with one day left. All in all, an excellent conference.

@mattcropp Uh oh. Now I need to catch up.

@mattcropp You have 0 of 27 achievements.

@mattcropp Cool! I had an hour-long call yesterday with a consultant working for a sign-language agency considering converting to a co-op.

@mxsparks_afterlight @Curator Pardon my ignorance, but how do we use these?

@jackdaw_ruiz Support the toots!

@Graham_Mitchell @mattcropp @Antanicus Speaking as a former political activist and current co-op activist, I'd say cooperators here in the US don't get involved in politics because one major party is made up of racist, authoritarian lunatics, and the other major party doesn't have a spine. The electoral system is hardwired to prevent minor parties from ever becoming major parties.

@brainblasted I know. That was a little joke.

@brainblasted I find it redundant. Doesn't everyone compose at the keyboard?

@attackcat Fash in the pan.

@h I had to give that up. It was starting to leave bruises.
