It’s fun to see my #diaspora code submissions accepted, deployed, then used and abused by the public in under 24 hours.

I’m not completely sure, but it looks like pommed is helping with the MBP temperature. Won’t worry about macfanctld for now.

#Ubuntu 11.10 on MBP works about as well as you’d expect alpha release on secondary platform to work: ok but not great.

I’d really Iike to see an iOS #identica app that used the full API. The twitter-ish apps are kinda lame.

Very tired of folks wanting to abandon #linux because they don’t like #ubuntu unity. There are other DEs in Ubuntu and other distros.

Oh I just used a mild profanity. Look out world, I’ve gone mad!

I am most definitely being #persnickety about Linux today. Also, get those meddling kids off my lawn or I’ll recompile their dog.

Okay. Basic Ubuntu installation worked fine, but the MBP-specific fiddling until after dinner.

Twitter: 2011-08-26 Fri 20:36

Okay, so “after dinner” has become after dinner, cleanup, laundry, and groceries. Almost ready for geekery.
