Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-01-23

Posted on January 23, 2011 by Chris Samuel
  • Short link to Vic Roads closures is http://bit.ly/vicroadsnow, keep misreading it as being Vic Road Snow 😉 #
  • Contrast – juxtaposition of rich and poor on the Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne http://flic.kr/p/9ak1va #
  • Proof that you don't have to be human to house sit.. http://bit.ly/gtyGk2 (via @NearMap and @MDotSmith) #qldfloods #
  • Sometimes I do wish I could spell.. 😉 #
  • The concept of tagging photos of graffiti on #flickr has a certain irony about it.. #
  • "Neptunium muriaticum […] suitable for persons who evade reality and take refuge in illusion" 🙂 http://bit.ly/hjHAQx #
  • Does anyone know where I can find docs on the #DDN API? #hpc #storage #IhateTelnet #
  • #Kangaroo in Flight – caught on the hop at Cardinia on Saturday evening http://flic.kr/p/9bfwSE #
  • Sunset at Cardinia Reservoir http://flic.kr/p/9bfxDY #
  • Don't know which is worse: the fact that someone on train has Knight Rider theme as ringtone or that I recognise it 🙂 #
  • So apparently Australia is going to mandate ECMA-376 OOXML formats for govt, but can anything actually write that? #
  • Info on conformance and ability to write ECMA-376 OOXML hard to come by, #Wikipedia says MS Office 2010 read-only for it #
  • Here is how you should report a critical #security bug in your application – http://bit.ly/exOgOB – #tarsnap #crypto #
  • My reading is that ECMA-376 only supported for document import in MS Office 2010, not for authoring. Can anyone confirm ? #
  • If MS Office cannot export ECMA-376 OOXML documents (only ISO version) then is it excluded under AGIMO rules ? #
  • So it appears that the #AGIMO ECMA-376 OOXML format mandate has locked the Australian government into Office *2007*! #
  • Ben Sturmfels (http://identi.ca/stumbles) is going to @linuxconfau & will collect signatures for anti sw #patent petition #
  • Sunset over #Melbourne http://twitpic.com/3ro5zw #Sunset #

  • "It is estimated the moving inland sea is 90 kilometres long and 40 kilometres wide." http://bit.ly/fVp4Qb #vicfloods #
  • Bought 4x750GB WD Elements SE lightweight drives for disaster recovery, using #btrfs based snapshots and rsync with my 2. #
  • Oh wow, Amazon EC2 has HPC nodes with dual GPUs.. #
  • Brother Island: New York's forgotten island, amazing photos of an abandoned place http://bit.ly/eHv9m2 via @theretronaut #
