  • A big #fail to 'Life in the United Kingdom – The Official Practice Citizenship Test' – Flash only – http://bit.ly/zqGuz #
  • I thought the Australian citizenship test was bad until I saw the practice UK one! Just failed it with 58%.. 🙁 #
  • #Motorhead Ace of Spades as you'll wish you'd never heard it before.. 😉 http://bit.ly/W2tm6 #
  • Hmm, #Android doesn't know about the AT command to turn on echo suppression on the OpenMoko FreeRunnner. 🙁 #
  • Update your WordPress blogs to 2.8.4 ASAP – unauth admin password reset bug out there and being exploited.. 🙁 #
  • Dear 203.166.226.41, who reset the admin password on my blog at 00:28:27 AEST, thanks for not doing anything bad with it! #
  • ah – apparently it doesn't permit remote access.. http://bit.ly/5Hc5H #
  • Looks like Michael Trimarchi's alternative #Android port to the #FreeRunner has echo suppression! http://bit.ly/c2K0g #
  • Wow – Michael Trimarchi's #Android port seems much faster than the Koolu one! It feels responsive, not sluggish.. #
  • #Microsoft Word sales+import banned in the US for infringing an XML software #patent – http://bit.ly/5ZiUt #patentfail #

  • RIP Les Paul, guitar master, dead at 94 (via @BreakingNews) #
  • Darwin has fallen off AARNET, oops; redundant link has failed near Coomalie Creek (west coast link down a few days ago) #
  • Darwin now back on AARNET, at least via Alice Springs.. #
  • Oops, I'd forgotten to use the provisioning hack after reflashing the Panicking Android image so no incoming calls! #
  • Now I can confirm that Michael Trimarchi's #Android port doesn't seem to have any echo, and is miles faster than Koolu! #
  • Oh foo.. "All Linux 2.4/2.6 versions since May 2001 are believed to be affected" – http://bit.ly/114whO #

  • RT @elakdawalla,@nivnac: Calypso pan taken while Spirit has been stuck at Troy http://tinyurl.com/kt3pca also includes QTVR by @mmbman #mars #
  • Looks like there's a big dust devil on the horizon on that Mars panorama by @nivnac about 1/5th of the way from the left #
  • Wet and windy up here in our part of #Melbourne, local CFA teams have had a lot of shouts overnight looking at their RSS #
