  1. @chartier Small correction: as of last night, it's in "Release Preview" (before: Consumer Preview; before that: Developer Preview).
  2. My followers, grouped geographically: tweepsmap.com/!chucker (via @arepty)
  3. For when you feel like Visual Studio 2012's menu bar is SHOUTING AT YOU: richard-banks.org/2012/06/how-to… (via heise.de/developer/news…)
  4. Not quite what I had in mind when upgrading, but sure. #windows8 twitter.com/chucker/status…
  5. @uliwitness Failover redundant landing site!
  6. @uliwitness I dunno, Sacramento is near Elk Grove, where they used to manufacture Macs, and now run a call center, IIRC.
  7. Windows 8 Release Preview is out: windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-…
  8. @SpecMode Numericoverflowgate.
  9. @SpecMode Very kind!
  10. @SpecMode 6B years? Crap. Would have loved to see that, but already got plans.
  11. "Sächsischen Dialekt", oder "sechs Ischen, die er leckt"? #Deutsch #Spracherkennung heise.de/mobil/artikel/…
  12. @boredzo Reverse the polarity, then reset the PMU.
  13. @xpaulbettsx @ccgus @wilshipley @chockenberry Apple has clearly started doing that; Safari f Windows ships with objc.dll and Foundation.dll.
  14. @oncueapp Could've sworn I had launched it since 5.1.1, but bingo: a reinstall later, I can launch it again. Thanks! :)
  15. @oncueapp Strange. The log says that it failed to launch in time. Seems stuck somewhere in CoreData.
  16. My @oncueapp broke (5.1.1; 4S); apparently, it doesn’t like the jailbreak I recently performed.
  17. "You never want to be the biggest user of a third-party framework." (via @marcoarment: 5by5.tv/buildanalyze/78)
  18. @SpecMode Not sure about pre-SP1, but next time, try going to update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate right up front. Also, consider slipstreaming SP3 your CD.
  19. @SpecMode Go for the big updates first, such as SP3 and IE8. Saves on small intermediate updates (but leaves you unprotected for longer).
