Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-06-01

  • @typicalmacuser You've probably heard by now but Grand Central no longer has invites. I'm thinking Skypecasts can replace Talkshoe. #
  • Sites like Plurk show that there's still lots of room to innovate in the Twitter/Jaiku/Pownce space. http://www.plurk.com/user/leolaporte #
  • Sorry - this is a better invitation URL for Plurk. (It's a very Ajaxy Twitter clone.) http://is.gd/p1x #
  • Hmm. That didn't take long. Plurk is now Borked. #
  • T - 2 minutes for this WEEK in TECH on TWiT Live with Martin Sargent, Patrick Norton, Jim Louderback, and Calacanis. http://twitlive.tv #

Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-05-31

  • TWiT this week will focus on the Rev3 DDoS incident with @jlouderb, @patricknorton, @martinsargent and @jasoncalacanis. Live @ 3p PDT Sunday #
  • @Hellstorm Good point. It must have been a DDoS or they would have just blocked the source, but they did say it all came from MediaDefender. #
  • @rozsavage update: she's rowing upwind and making slow progress. Updates at http://rozsavage.com/blog - working on her Twitter interface. #
  • I'll talk with @rozsavage live at 10a PDT (1700 GMT) at http://twitlive.tv - the podcast should begin this weekend so you can hear it all. #

Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-05-30

  • New Comcast modem is even faster - 30mbps down - but it's still dropping out. Which, unfortunately, kills TWiT Live even tho it's on the T1. #
  • @ryanblock GnuPG but you'll need to do some fiddling. This doc is handy - http://snipurl.com/2bidg - and get this http://snipurl.com/2bidp #
  • @Agent_C What percent of malware infections are you able to remove without reformatting the drive? How often do those machines stay clean? #
  • @docwho76 Each connection is discrete. The video stream goes to Stickam on a T1. Skype uses the DSL. General surfing is left to Comcast. #
  • @danwil The Wire, Season 4. Only one season left. -snif- So far I like season 2 the best. @hotdogsladies likes 1 & 5. #
  • @docwho76 I was using Comcast to manage the Stickam chat. If I leave the chat, the Stickam server closes. I've asked them to change that. #

Leo's Twitter Updates for 2008-05-29

  • Martin and I kiss and make up. Then kiss some more. http://revision3.com/internetsuperstar/feud/ #
  • @pazaq Save some money and get the Cann 50mm 1.4 - it's fast enough. (But the 1.2 is lovely!) #
  • @detorn I think I'll stick with Disqus after all - I don't want to whipsaw my blog readers. #
  • @bhenry05 Dane is training a new editor (Tony) so MacBreak Weekly will be a little late, but it should be out any minute now. #
  • I may not be able to retire Visual Hub after all. MKV file crashed the AppleTV. Sapphire is very cool though - imports metadata from IMDB. #
  • The cool thing about the aTV hack is that I can now FTP files right into the Apple TV and use Sapphire to tag and categorize automatically. #

  • Hey Bay Areans! @garyvee will be speaking at my friend Elaine's book store tomorrow at 1p. A must see!! http://snipurl.com/2azbk #
  • Boy that was easy. Just got the $60 aTV Flash from Apple Core. A couple of reboots and my Apple TV is fully hacked. http://snipurl.com/2aziq #
  • Excellent and balanced article by Freeman Dyson on global warming. Will carbon-eating trees save us? http://is.gd/mPQ #
  • @jeffjarvis Twitter's problems keeping you up late Jeff? Me, too. #
  • Pirates wear eye-patches not because they're missing an eye, but to preserve their night vision. And on that note I bid you good night. #
  • I'll get you Martin Sargent. If it's the last thing I do. http://revision3.com/internetsuperstar/feud/ #
