RT @glynmoody: LulzSec supposedly claims its biggest coup yet: The entire UK 2011 Census - http://thenextweb.com/industr... tell me again why centralised dbs are good?
Slowly switching to one time random passwords with @1password. Also 2-factor auth with Google but I suspect that is going to be irritating.
Oh wow awesome. I have Clicky Pro, great service. “@chartier: Clicky now has "big screen mode" for real-time web stats: http://t.co/4r42WHH”
Been using 1Password all day. I think I need to get used to it for it to streamline logging in. As I log in, replacing my passwords.
Select Player episode 4 is out! http://jalada.co.uk/2011... Skyrim + Skyward Sword. Please RT! :)

OK Rapidswitch, I'm not so impressed. Why can your special offer servers only be installed with CentOS?!?!?

Right, going to give 1Password + DropBox a try.
Rapidswitch (my server provider) are doing an awesome deal right now on new servers. Guess that pushes my server migration plans forward!
Awesome and crazy idea: Receipt printer racing game http://thisismynext.com/2011...
Erlang powers Demonware (they manage Call of Duty multiplayer etc) http://www.erlang-factory.com/upload... /cc @petermacrobert see, it's cool!
Getting sick of sites being compromised and turning out not to have salted stretched password hashes. Time for a password manager.
I had done the whole damn Biggoron sword trade sequence. Now I just have a blue Cucco! AAAAAH
Bah my OOT just froze! Down the well. Hadn't saved for a while...

Hurrah, iOS 5 brings Nitro JS to home screen web apps http://arstechnica.com/apple...

About to record Select Player episode 4. We're on a roll!
Re: The problems with desktop Linux. - http://www.awevation.com/2011...
"I'm gonna be cynical here and say Linux will never be ready for the desktop. It's written by a committee of people so it never has one clear vision, everyone has their own idea of what is good. And that's fine, it encourages innovation and results in new and exciting things being developed. But it means it will never be ready for the desktop, it will never be consistent, it will never be properly 'easy to use' and it will never have direction. Look at Ubuntu and all the changes they make to their UI all the time. I believe every OS has its use. Linux is great for servers and embedded systems. OS X is great for daily use and Getting Things Done (because it's just a joy to use). Windows is great for playing games, Getting Work Done, and daily use (but OS X is better). On a meta point. I recommend using Disqus for comments rather than WordPress itself :)" - Jalada

Huh, according to Clicky (analytics) people spent about 'a year' on @twfall in total.

Blog: Installing pygame on OS X with a Homebrew Python 2.7 install - http://jalada.co.uk/2011...
>>> pygame <module 'pygame' from '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/__init__.pyc'> SUCCESS!
What was that? ImportError: Symbol not found: _SDL_HAHA_SCREW_YOU :(
'Going down the rabbit hole' and trying to install pygame on top of a Homebrew installed Python 2.7 on OS X.
Love that a newly discovered type of mushroom that looks like a sponge has been given Latin name 'spongiforma squarepantsii'
I'm so glad adverts can have WebGL crazy-stuff on my phone :P can't wait! Good news in a way though; means it'll be in iOS proper soon.
