  1. @autumnspirit: well done. Wish I were so lucky (and awake) a couple weeks ago when I gave my iTouch 4 scratches in a single fumble...
  2. @autumnspirit the phrase "indie convenience" just makes me think of someone boasting "I was into convenience _before_ it was convenient!"
  3. My iTouch has magically lost the ability to show GRiS' landscape interface - it still works for other apps. Nothing has changed in months!
  4. The new google homepage is odd. It feels like a competition now, you have to try and never reveal the chrome. So much for simplification...
  5. @autumnspirit yeah. Gwibber posts to both identica and twitter, and then identica's "push to twitter" kicked in after a ridiculous delay
  6. Just replaced 100+ lines of bash/expect/telnet bollocks with 20 lines of python. Yay termlib! (Also: the damn script actually works now ;))
  7. #gwibber on linux is a surprisingly good social media app - I like it more than any of the mac twitter apps I tried...
  8. somehow, the display delay of pop-down terminals (guake etc) seems directly related to how *wide* (not tall) they are. maybe compiz related?
  9. So apparently powermates are set to "flash the bright LED like you're at a sodding rave" when the computer is off. Who would EVER want this?
  10. @mat_kelcey: excellent :D Consider it payback for originally teaching me the alt-dot trick ;)
  11. Downgraded kernel, broken (now fixed) graphics driver, and suddenly no sound. Yep, definitely in linux-towne. And nope, I don't miss the mac
  12. It's always a little surprising when you type "sudo shutdown -h now" into the wrong terminal window :s
  13. So, how long can these hash tags be? Here goes: #googlewavemarkasunreadshouldbeablipwiseoperation. Who's with me?
  14. @MikeJF looks like they're mirroring the current files as we speak. alternate-amd64 just appeared...
  15. @MikeJF yeah they still do. Sorry, spoke to soon without checking the filenames ;)
  16. Good: my ISP has karmic available from the freezone (doesn't affect quota). Bad: Server's so overloaded I can't even get a file listing
  17. @Paul_Bone its a user-focused distro, innit? Is the server version any slimmer?
  18. @tomayac cool, that'd be great. You might also need a github account if you are working on the code.
  19. @tomayac I'd like that, but I'm afraid I've pretty much ceased GRiS development. I'm sick of apple, and heading on to more open pastures.
  20. @autumnspirit mm, tried that. It's using a UUID rather than /dev/* - which should Just Work as far as I can tell :/
