Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-11-07

Posted on November 7, 2010 by Chris Samuel
  • #Welsh / #Cymraeg dropped from 1st beta of #Debian #Linux 6.0 (Squeeze) installer due to lack of updates since Lenny. 🙁 #
  • Safe flight @sabman! (twitter playing up, lost 1st tweet!) #
  • Congrats to Mike Kuiper of #VPAC as co-author and illustrator for #Nature paper on perforin today! http://bit.ly/bVfgfV #
  • Wow Melbourne's water catchments were dry. 36% more rain than 30 year average but inflows 6% below over same period! #
  • "If the Melbourne Cup stops the nation, just powercycle it a few times." – @mikestuchbery #
  • Very cute, a multiboot #Linux reconfigurable netbook/tablet/MID device with TI ARM A8 CPU – http://bit.ly/aPYjYZ #
  • Angry Muesli: Horrifying creature from another dimension. Will win race then destroy galaxy. Gluten Free. http://bit.ly/awauFD #
  • Of course it makes perfect sense for a broke country like the #UK to develop new #nuclear weapons.. http://bbc.in/aIcXgI #
  • I wonder why Twitter is suggesting I follow @sunmicrosystems, an account that has been idle since January ? #
  • Just pushed support for the RFC 3834 header "Auto-Submitted" to the Vacation git repo at SourceForge for 1.2.7 and master. #
  • Not yet got the hang of git merge, just applying changes by hand between branches so far.. #
  • .@worldlandtrust has some fabulous webcams in rainforests, this one has audio and heaps of birds ATM http://bit.ly/cgIUJH #
  • Amazing to watch the humming birds feeding on the @worldlandtrust feeder in the Buenaventura Reserve, Ecuador #
  • Just pre-ordered the 30th Anniversary New Model Army boxed set – looks like a ripper! http://bit.ly/domL4V #newmodelarmy #
  • So I wonder if the attendees at #gov20cebit can persuade Customs to not block the main @OpenAustralia website ? #
  • Looks like speculation about #Dell buying @Rackspace was a case of mistaken identity, it was @Boomi http://bit.ly/auLqQr #
  • #HPC geeks probably want to check out the perf command on Ubuntu (linux-tools) or Debian Squeeze (linux-tools-2.6) #
  • You'll need a recent kernel of course for perf, but 2.6.32 seems new enough. #
  • Anyone know if #RedHat RHEL6 includes perf ? #hpc #
  • Gah, apparently #HP claim that using VLC on their laptops can void your warranty.. http://bit.ly/cHMJai #
  • The @PTUA now has a dedicated outer east twitter account – ingeniously called @ptua_outereast #
  • Reuters says #Qantas has confirmed one of their #Airbus #A380's has crashed over Indonesia #
  • Good to hear that it sounds like QF32 hasn't crashed, instead has done emergency landing at Changi in Singapore. #
  • Amused to see people blame Twitter (and me) for incorrect news reported by Reuters on their website #
  • Found a weird #RHEL5 mlx4_en bug, some packets arriving on eth1 get misdirected to eth0! http://bit.ly/bhunID #mellanox #
  • Looks like the jets on Hartley 2 were created by a patch on the comet that's much richer in dry ice (CO2) not water! #nasa #
  • 5 beautiful close up images of the comet from just a few kms away! #nasa #
  • Comet Hartley 2 looks like a non-symetric dumbbell, the thin part has a much smoother surface than the larger ends. #
  • The jets seem to just be coming off the rough ends, and often relate to specific topographic features according to #NASA #
  • The smooth thin middle is suspected to be caused by fine material being redeposited from the ends. #harley2 #nasa #
  • Time to go to work, perfect timing for that briefing #NASA to fit in between me waking up and leaving! 😉 #
  • For those who don't believe me that Reuters reported an A380 crashed Thurs please read this link: http://reut.rs/cIqCPy #
  • Added my 2007 "Emerging #Linux #Filesystems" LinuxWorld article (http://bit.ly/cKEl7r) to Linkedin http://linkd.in/a9bwwy #
  • So either @Twitter has fixed the auth issues around their RSS feeds or Kontact in #KDE 4.5.3 can cope with it. #
  • BBC reports on the "House of the Gladiators" collapse in #Pompeii http://bbc.in/99O870 #archaeology via @archaeologynews #
