  1. Entrepreneurial spirit alive and well in the youth of today - warms my heart! #guitarhero http://twitpic.com/pfhyh
  2. @aussie_ian Excellent. :) How long are you down? Catch up for coffee/beers?
  3. @bdyling You can! It's command-e on this keyboard, and @resync says it's Super_L + e (saves me figuring out the mapping ;) )
  4. Just discovered the expose function in gnome by accident - ironically, while trying to figure out how to type the accented e in expose.
  5. Does Gnome (as of Ubuntu 9.10) have a feature like expose on OSX? Specifically, I want to see all workspaces and drag windows between them.
  6. @NigelHoney Hah, yes, that's awesome :)
  7. I have an iPhone 3GS sitting in its shrink-wrapped box on my desk, and it's *useless* to me until I get my laptop back :(
  8. @warren_s The standard answer is "cross-platform portability". Additional factors include NIH syndrome, ignorance and poor taste.
  9. @resync Hah, that's awesome!! Hadn't seen that one :)
  10. @resync You could also statically map a whole bunch of common words/phrases to single unicode characters, so you can do better than 2:1
  11. @resync Hmm.. I'm sure you could come up with an ASCII -> Unicode compression scheme.
  12. Art installation, or creative vandals? RT @resync What the http://twitvid.com/B51C2
  13. RT @ozdj: iPhone photo of man using an iPhone to take photo of car accident involving girl with an iPhone. http://twitpic.com/oozeg
  14. @peterlyle No? I'm not sure if I've met @ltgamer - I'm not following them, and their profile is private?
  15. @stokely Oh, don't mind me! I'm just the kind of grumpy arsehole who pauses a DVD if someone talks in the same room :)
  16. @stokely Just shut up and watch the movie! ;) If there's anyone else who still hasn't seen it, you'll spoil it for them!
  17. @andrewb Yeah, the whole site is served off frankenboxes under our desks in our home offices, over ADSL connections ;)
  18. http://twitpic.com/olps2 - It's aliiiive!!
  19. @misscackle Hoping to fix my desktop machine after the kids are in bed :)
  20. @misscackle Yes, we enjoyed the picnic lots, thanks :D Excellent work there, and a great crowd!
