Alarming!

@katiemoffat @MartinSFP Blob is a nasty drink from Yates
There goes the temperance.
- Dave Mee
Time for a Temperance Society then? You can put me on the stage as the example
- David Bird
Wetherspoons named a pub in Bradford after famous Temperance advocate Sir Titus Salt. Very odd.
- Martin Bryant
Wetherspoons and Irony were never far apart I guess. And then put the pub in the city with the largest abstemious population in the UK
- David Bird
I'm going to be looking for some beta testers for the Purefold character development tools. You'll need a Twitter account, knowledge of Python (the language not the species), a server which you have admin rights to and desire to keep a secret. Any takers?

I'd do it but I have no idea about Python. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
How's your unix skills?
- David Bausola
I'm no dev, sorry. I can admin a WordPress site OK, I can use web tools to create a web site (like the Bitmaps one) but that's my limit I'm afraid.
- Kol Tregaskes
I would like to ... have unix skills and vps server with root access ... not really bright on python though
- Jesse Wynants
Python knowledge will help with debugging the installation (if need be). It's fairly simple, as we have guides/manual etc.
- David Bausola
I'm more a user-end tester.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol - ok - having you as a spectator will be useful.
- David Bausola
OK. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Can we sub to the Development group BTW? I see it it private.
- Kol Tregaskes
What do I have to do then?
- Chris Billett
We'll have a new group for 'Staging'. That private group is messy.
- David Bausola
Chris, we'll brief all in due course.
- David Bausola
Rob will be here in a mo with the specs required to get involved.

I'm currently doing scripting for a war sim using LUA which is supposedly very similar to Python... can I play?
- Graham Sergeant
The server requires Python 2.4+ plus some easily installed libraries. It's been developed on GNU/Linux but should run on MacOS X. There's scripts to help with starting and stopping it, and scripts to help with developing resources for it, but you will need at least some basic command-line ability. Resources are written in YAML, which is an easy freeform data format.
- Rob Myers
Graham, does ^ answer your question? (You will need a server to play - the character system is designed to be highly distributed - no central control from us.)
- David Bausola
sign me up
- Saul Albert
Lets find out... where's the libraries? I'll grab Python
- Graham Sergeant
Oh wait a minute... says I need a twitter account... I'm FF all the way I'm afraid ;-)
- Graham Sergeant
I'm tentatively in
- Petros Lafazanidis
Graham, get yourself on Twitter. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Saul and Petros - awesome (disclaimer from me - I know these guys, in fact, I'm their fanboy)
- David Bausola
For you then Kol...
- Graham Sergeant
;-) You can follow me at: http://twitter.com/koltreg... but I warn you not to as it's a very noisy feed.
- Kol Tregaskes
Ok am tweeting now
- Graham Sergeant
@replayzero would like to participate :)
- Richard
If there's no real Python wizardry involved (I'm on the level of having read halfway through the Guido's tutorial, plus experience of barging through stuff I need to admin without deep knowledge of the code), I volunteer. I have twitter, I have a server I run (Debian-based), and as far as I know, no secrets have leaked through me. (oh, and the server name is wintermute, which probably should be a bonus point :)))) )
- Michael Bravo
yes, please, have basic coding skills, basic *nix installation skills, not much experience with python per se, I'll dedicate a linux box to it if needed
- meika loofs samorzewski
I'm a developer on linux, but I don't use python much, and I can't use my server for other purposes than professional ones.
- skylendar
Michael - cool!
- David Bausola
Meika - nice!
- David Bausola
Skylender - ok - what does that mean?
- David Bausola
I just mean that I develop and administrate a linux server but I don't use python. That's all
- skylendar
my bandwidth in Tasmania will be not impressive tho, the internet has no geography but the series of tubes do
- meika loofs samorzewski
Actually, I also use python, but juste for kleenex scripts
- skylendar
python isn't my usual language for developing, rather C/C++, perl, bash etc...
- skylendar
Richard - kewl.
- David Bausola
meika - the processor and bandwidth footprint is tiny per character. if you have a 100 characters on the same box, then you might strain.
- David Bausola
skylender - ok - you wont have to do any coding. Just understand what it is and how to install the libraries etc.
- David Bausola
arh, an old box then
- meika loofs samorzewski
Before being invelved, I want better information about the purefold project. Everything is still pretty hazy
- skylendar
involved
- skylendar
flag me as intrigued and capable.
- Dave Mee
sky, np - will be posting our talk about Purefold from yesterday later today. Explains a lot. But not everything. Post me a question as a new thread here.
- David Bausola
ok, I wait. So...
- skylendar
Dave, v. cool.
- David Bausola
will you use real actors, or 3D animations ?
- skylendar
Well if there are clear instructions and no coding is needed I might be able to help then. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Let us know what you need. www.agentblank.com :-)
- Johnny Blank
First of all, clear and honest information
- skylendar
I am Interested. Will brush up on Python. Quick study. Unix, Patch, C and Cobol :)
- Eric Logan
I'm also interested, but clear info first
- skylendar
Cheers Eric.
- David Bausola
Thanks Johnny
- David Bausola
I might be interested. I have a twitter account & a server with Python. But I don't know much about Python. I'm a PHP dev.
- arjo
arjo - that 's fine.
- David Bausola
lol i'm with kol
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
in.
- Marcus Brown
I know python, have a twitter a/c, and a home pc I can use as a server.

How is the testing going?

@julianlstar good point, will ask. I'm not averse to using a handheld GPS unit, just would prefer carrying 'one thing that does everything'
I painfully discovered that the one-device-that-does-it-all uses up power much, much faster than a bag full of devices with lots of batteries. my 4000ma Ameo would only last a half-day with GPS, Bluetooth, SD card and GPS use. Comically, it could also drain charge faster than it could recharge.

Anyone who's seen http://gawker.com/5265194... on Gawker should know I've not denied a friend request. Gawker has the wrong end of the stick
Why don't they provide links to the original tweets? They're not really pushing for authenticity. The Denton canon is tabloid
- Dave Mee
http://twitter.com/louiseb... The link is here if you want it. Gawker took this totally out of context. It was not about me denying a friend request to anyone. It was about me defriending someone I had believed to be a friend but who showed me last night that that friendship was a total sham. Any friend who can disrespect me so blatantly is no friend of mine and so I took steps to remove that person from my life as far as I am able to.

I am excited. Having breakfast with Fred Wilson. Then a very full day meeting lots of people including two Rackspace customers.

Anything I should ask Fred or Allen Stern?
- Robert Scoble
What made him invest his money into Twitter, and if he did have any plans on taking over twitter or helping them with the service?
- James Bayliss
For the Rackspace customers, what do they dislike about Rackspace?
- Adam Martin
For Fred, what advice would he give startups seeking funding if the founders are not known like "ex-googlers" or something of that nature.
- Rob Diana
Get him talking about hacking education. That's one of my favorite topics.

I am meeting with Robert Scoble this morning. Anything I should ask Robert? :-P
- Allen Stern
I am posting in reply to someone having a meeting with Robert Scoble. Is there anything you'd like them to ask him? :)
- Dave Mee
Allen, ask him why he's not using my service to do the photo/map thing on this trip. Did I say something stupider than usual and offend him? You might have to coax the answer out of him. You know how shy he can be. ;-)
- Bruce Lewis
from fftogo
Robert There's a meal I would have picked up the tab to be a part of. You 2 comprise 40% of my "dream team" startup, the others being Seth Godin and Kevin Kelly. Plus me of course :)
- Mark Essel
Found out to my surprise that I am a Rackspace customer -- apparently while I wasn't looking they bought my email provider.
- Brian Sullivan
Bruce: no reason. I have been focusing my creative energy on getting videos for building43 which launches June 11.
- Robert Scoble
Mark: I recorded the good parts of our conversation which will be up June 11th.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, Just ask him, what are the possibilitites in investing in Indian ventures, given India is a hot country with a cold investment cliemate and equally cold tech users
- Nitin Nanivadekar
Nitin: Fred is already gone but investors are excited by the opportunities in India. I saw this first hand when I was hanging out with Charles River Ventures.
- Robert Scoble
Robert looking forward to June11th then

I'd love to see this in action, but I have never - despite 5 years of handsets implying this. What combination of network, handset and OS works?
- Dave Mee
I tried it years ago once but it just doesn't interest me. It has practical applications but most of the time voice is enough.
- Martin Bryant
Dave: when I tried it cross-network it didn't work. With two phones on Three it worked fine but I just wasn't that 'into it'.

Never, but I have done quite a bit of live video streaming from the phone.
