  1. #Leaving Twitter because it's a closed silo. Join me in the free world on identi.ca or from *any* OpenMicroBlogging service.
  2. http://ur1.ca/3e6x —The Guardian: Novelists Stephanie Theobald and Jake Arnott recall how they fell in love four years ago — !bi !glbt
  3. On #Amazon 's failure: if you have to be 18 to buy *anything*, why hide “adult” products? (—irrespective of how you define “adult”)
  4. !FSF should bless Linux-libre as the current best-effort, call #gNewSense “GNU” and be done with it.
  5. Why no-one uses #gNewSense: stupid name
  6. Thou shalt not disagree: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8000398.stm
  7. Browsing the fugly, 1997-ish, but inspiring carfree.com
  8. So… we need a distributed, federated ranking & tagging system, since that #Amazon thing—maybe @timbl circa 1992 can work something out…
  9. !glbt http://ur1.ca/3bkh – translation: “Same-sex couples are hilarious. A bloke kissing a *bloke*—lol!” or “It's funny cos it looks gay!”
  10. !glbt #evil update: still haven't bought any #Heinz product in >9 months. Moral: retracting ads that offend bigots doesn't work.
  11. !glbt !q “It wasn't intended to be a gay couple, [but] a humorous metaphor for these great-tasting sandwiches”— #Heinz, http://ur1.ca/3bka
  12. !glbt , time to cancel your account with #Amazon: http://ur1.ca/3bj5
  13. Cancelling my #Amazon account—they seriously require me to email them to do so?! No automation? Not only #evil, but also #stupid.
  14. #Evil: #Amazonhttp://ur1.ca/3bj5
  15. Ah. Closest I can find is http://tinyurl.com/d5zlyv !ubuntu
  16. Downloading 20.1 MB of Chromium update—what happened to delta diffs, !ubuntu?
  17. Listening to !BBC #Radio4 programmes on the #iPlayer is unsatisfying—they always stop just before the sixth pip.
  18. !Gnome 3 integration should be on !Mozilla's list for #Namorokahttp://ur1.ca/34v8 —shipping “early-to-mid” (i.e. November) 2010
  19. The difference between #Gnome & #KDE: Gnome indicates unstable releases with odd minor-version numbers; KDE uses even major-version numbers.
  20. Not listening to any sort of a podcast. Richard Bacon may or may not be a legend.
