  • USGS #earthquake map of north east coast of #Japan – http://1.usa.gov/i9puX3 #eqjp #
  • Good to see Chris Mason's git pull request for #btrfs fixes for 2.6.38 went through and 6 fixes hit Linus's repo #
  • Busy prepping for the DDN enclosure firmware upload tomorrow, ready for the big outage on Wednesday when we reboot.. #
  • Trying not to fall asleep while #SuSE #SLES is "Waking up ZMD…" – how do I stop it going to sleep in the first place?! #
  • Dear #SuSE it should not take 15 minutes or more to install a single trivial RPM (tftp) via rug.. #
  • You'd think working on a public holiday would mean quieter public transport – you'd be wrong.. #
  • OK, got Khweeteur auth'd to both Twitter and Identi.ca, wonder which it sends to now? Both? 🙂 #
  • OK, so it does send to both but at least it seems Twitter doesn't accept the rebroadcast from Identi.ca – good, no echo! #
  • TEPCO has declared an "Occurrence of a Specific Incident (Failure of reactor cooling function)" for FD no.2 unit #eqjp #
  • Someone is dancing on top of a house near Richmond station! #

  • eep – gone midnight again – time for bed said Zebedee! #
  • Useful discovery from @astronomyblog today – @Flickr machine tags are for machines to read, but you can add them by hand! #
  • Couple of young people collecting messages for Japan outside State Library tonight, taking photos of message and writer #
  • Just rebooted into the 2.6.38 #Linux kernel via #Ubuntu mainline PPA; group scheduling does seem to make a difference! #

  • The strange tale of the Lebanese space race – http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/culturelab/ #space #science #
  • Japan has two power grids, one running at 50Hz and one at 60Hz, consequently they cannot balance power between them.. #
  • I wonder how many more lives would have been saved if the world had declared a no-fly zone in #Libya two weeks ago ? #
  • ComputerWorld article on Japan's multiple electricity standards in their grid(s) – http://bit.ly/eZWr4c #eqjp #
  • Early morning sun over Cardinia Reservoir http://flic.kr/p/9rpKpB #

  • "SuperMoon" over Cardinia Reservoir http://flic.kr/p/9rBK98 #
  • Moon may have been not that different to usual last night, but at least it got me out to try and take photos of it! 🙂 #
  • Also a fabulous sunset, and I'd had the foresight to work out that the moon rise was going to be over Cardinia reservoir #
  • Missed "very bright" #ISS last night but tonight is "extremely bright" (mag -3.5) for #Melbourne http://twisst.nl/41331 #
  • 10 mins to bright ISS pass, trying to work out with Google Earth if gum trees in the garden are going to frustrate this! #
