  • 09:31 @wendyg So instead of a biometric card, everything is on mobile phones.... er... way to go with economic disenfranchisement again :) #
  • 09:49 @ju916 Because there may be one way bridges in wider network loops, and missing them misses the weak forces in the network? #
  • 09:53 @sv "Girlsname"+"year" in Twitter id == Spammer at the moment :) #
  • 10:06 @ABridgwater "People not moving to Linux because people not moving to Linux"... Come in 1997, your Desktop Linux talking point is calling :D #
  • 10:09 Looking at this morning news feeds and wondering what to actually write about. #
  • 10:11 @ABridgwater That's the point, people are moving to Linux... the problem now is that keeping them moved as some find it disappointing #
  • 10:16 Irony.... Windows 7 RC download being managed by Java applet. #
  • 10:32 @positennui I'd get the MacBooks fixed. :) #
  • 10:37 @positennui You didn't Applecare them then? It's not like PC laptops are any easier to repair.... #
  • 11:02 @positennui Macs, Windows and Linux. But Macs do the heavy lifting here... including running VMs of Windows, Linux, BSDs... #
  • 14:14 @nichtsokleijn Standard sales FUD... Salesmen are probably doing the "Scary cold call" as we tweet... #
  • 15:51 I have been accused of only ordering is.gd/wVDD so I can make jokes like "My knob is now in Barking".... #
  • 15:53 If I'd ordered is.gd/wVGj then I could have said "My enormous kn..." .... a boy can dream can't he? #
  • 16:20 @glynmoody Wishful thinking meets raw stats, whackiness ensues with classic "Well, other people use it more" anecdotal evaluation... :) #
  • 16:25 @glynmoody Er, the original research was the stats analysis of 160 sites. Hardly anecdotal. The problem is the noise floor much > MoE #
  • 16:40 @glynmoody Systemic bias is not "doesn't count sites that cater for Linux users" :) #
  • 16:44 @glynmoody (At least when you are sampling the general population... btw, same site gave 20% firefox market share in Nov)... #
  • 16:59 @glynmoody That'll be why Jon Lilly called that stat "A signifigant milestone".... #
  • 17:00 @glynmoody So how does Firefox show 20% then? Eh Eh? #
