@ustreamsupport I sorted out my problem by using the "Forgotten password" reset - didn't work from me a few weeks ago, but works now.
@ustreamsupport I created my account linked to OpenID, but now I can't set a regular password to login via the Android app. Any ideas ?
Help bootstrap funding for the Warren DeLano Foundation .. enter the raffle http://www.ruppweb.org/Garland...
@markbate Apparently they will only have an SD broadcast. Still, 720p widescreen fishcam will be nice :)
@rashmiv11 Try using Rasmol instead. I dare ya :)
Just heard that Channel 31, and other .au community TV stations will be given funding to go digital. Thx @KevinRuddPM ! http://www.channel31.org.au/digital...
Excellent. A tick in the plus column for the government. - Neil Saunders
There is a lot of dross on Channel 31 in Melbourne, but there are a few gems too - namely "Chartbusting '80s", "Champagne Comedy" and "The Shambles". The disability talk show with the lesbian midget was pretty good too. I'm pleased that they are being allocated spectrum and given some help transitioning to digital before the analog network gets turned off, since up until this announcement their future has been uncertain. - Andrew Perry

@neilfws Okay, less excited about ChromeOS now, but not really all that surprised. Early days.
@mmanning13 drop me a msg if it works .. otherwise I might wimp out and just go virtualbox initially :)
@mmanning13 whoops, sorry, didn't mean to double msg you before either .. I thought Twidroid had *lost* the first one, not sent it :P
@mmanning13 any idea if it works on an EeePc 701 (4G) ?
@mmanning13 Any idea if ChromeOS works on the EeePC 701 (4G) ? Tempted to have a hack myself tonight.

@AndroidGuysCom Argh .. I hope the Tattoo doesn't become popular. The smaller screen size is a real headache from a developers perspective.
@AndroidGuysCom .. and I'm getting the impression that because the Tattoo can be an annoyance for devs, the users will ultimately suffer
Watching @hyphaltip talk about the Bioperl project on TWiT tv, live right now http://live.twit.tv/ !
Google Closure: How not to write JavaScript - http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs...
Finding and picking apart code that may work, but is not completely optimal, is a pretty easy game, and some of this article is a little petty. It shouldn't be a huge surprise that "OMG some Google engineers wrote some suboptimal Javascript !!1!" - however the good part about this article is that they provide lots of examples of common Javascript optimizations that can be applied. - Andrew Perry
Watching a doco about the Freemasons. Their aprons look like the Gmail logo. Is Paul Buchheit a member of The Craft ? Its all a conspiracy !
Exciting - looks like KDE has implemented tabbed-window support ala Fluxbox. Nice to see a bug I've been following for years finally close.
Latest update on my long journey toward Inbox Zero: I'm down to 300 emails in the inbox. Hoping to make it to zero before 2010.
@mmaitlen There is a vim plugin for Eclipse ... you may be able to have the best (worst) of both worlds

@NathanaelB I would love to see an architect at work designing lab+office space to understand how they manage to overlook key aspects, twice
@NathanaelB Taxis have always charged by both distance and time, for as long as I remember. But the time component was much lower
