Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-10-03

Posted on October 3, 2010 by Chris Samuel
  • Great photo from @Astro_Wheels of Tracy Caldwell Dyson viewing earth from the #ISS #039;s cupola http://twitpic.com/2sapus #
  • Bah, upgrade to Maverick reinstalled PulseAudio despite me having explicitly removed it first, purging again! 🙁 #
  • Hmm, was hoping for something better for a 10GigE connected machine, only 265Mb/s.. http://bit.ly/aA6L9M #speedtest #
  • If you are puzzled about my 10Gb/s tweet just add a smiley to it – I wasn't seriously suggesting that as a real test. 🙂 #
  • British Waterways and others on leaked list of UK heritage bodies to be scrapped http://scr.bi/bxODeV (via @CurrentArchaeo) #
  • Time for a change – just started the process of churning to #Internode #039;s SOHO Fast 50 ADSL plan from CyberOne #
  • PulseAudio – it's a bug, not a feature.. #
  • Applied for @internode ADSL last night, just heard that they've processed order and have sent on churn request, yay! 🙂 #
  • New @metrotrains platform announcements remind me of the PA announcements from (original) The Prisoner. Be seeing you! #
  • #btrfs online survey to capture peoples experiences and needs/wants from this filesystem http://bit.ly/bialbs #linux #
  • Great shot of an aircraft transiting the moon taken in SE QLD on @APOD today – http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap100929.html #
  • #Microsoft dumps MSN Live, switches to #WordPress com hosted blogs! http://bit.ly/aVsqQL http://bit.ly/cZ7dN4 #
  • Computer necromancy – someone built their own binary-compatible #Cray 1A using an FPGA as the base – http://bit.ly/cWz2yj #
  • 11:04am emailed #SGI asking if we can swap failed PSU with spare – 11:08am phone call from them saying "yes" + offer help #
  • My home ADSL is down, and I'm happy! Just because that means the churn to @Internode is finally happening. 🙂 #
  • I Can HaZ @InterNode! 🙂 #
  • Suspect I might need new ADSL filter, Dynalink DSL-002 might be a bit long in the tooth. Whirlpool not that helpful. 🙁 #
  • First #fail for @Internode – SMS'd me my account details including password in the clear 🙁 #
  • Wish I'd realised @Internode had free Ubuntu mirror *before* I pulled down almost 500MB of updates for Kubuntu Maverick! #
  • Exiv2 #Nikon bug (100x slower vs same shot with no maker name) still not fixed in #Ubuntu Maverick http://bit.ly/atWlZg #
  • Exiv2 takes 4000ms to 6000ms to set maker name to "NoName" on Nikon D90 image, 30ms to set it back to "NIKON CORPORATION" #
  • Moab #fail Friday we did triggers for dead nodes, today I reinstalled a bunch and it warned about OK ones instead #hpc #
  • Polly Woodside http://twitpic.com/2u81dh #Historical #
