• Huge pitfall of #OSSEC: “ip route add DST/32 via DefaultGW src ServiceIPAddress” is your friend #
• Just watched at some cool pics of tanks. Not a militarist, but I’d love to drive a tank in Portuguese roads, that’s for sure. A Panzer… #
• Going to bed in a really grat mood thanks to @gbraad 😉 #
• s/grat/great/ #
• @stephwer turtles are omnivorous, in a pond or aquarium they will eat all and any fish near them 🙂 #
• Amazed at how Microsoft people believe that inbreed technologies (like Exchange/Outlook) are state of the art for groupware… #
• For those w think I live outside corporate world, I’ll be 10 years old at my current job this year. Portuguese find this company essential. #
• Even if most of them don’t even know its name 🙂 #
• @kanarip moving to Cardiff? Looking for Torchwood, are we? 😉 #
• @phantas that way, they save face: «hey, we did it, it was those guys who made it fail» #
• Não, não queremos que a Net seja como a Rádio e a TV. A Net é bidireccional, somos prosumidores! http://tr.im/RK9n #

• ♺ @hook: #Microsoft – #Slovenian government agreement includes an anti-#FOSS clause! !FSFE #
• Pergunto-me se o mesmo se passou em Portugal… #
• @gbraad interesting. But I can’t monopolize the TV that way 🙂 #
• @gbraad I disagree, !OLPC grayscale reflexive screen mode absolutely rocks for b&w comics like manga, and even color comics looks good. #
• ZOMG #followfriday has been imported into #identica and I was mentioned! (thanks, btw) 🙂 #
• @gbraad well, I don’t like Manga per se, but I do love the few *good* ones I get to read. Oldboy and Lady Snow Blood were my latest. #
• @jwildeboer 20l? Weakling! I get to have a living dino @ home (a red eared californian turtle bigger than a big human palm). 100l 2/5 full #
• @hgfernan thank you for the Free Software port of #followfriday 😉 #
• Entourage is almost certainly not copyleft hardware, but I wonder if Free Software can run in it unhindered… #
• @gbraad hey, I saved a couple of big turtles from being “abandoned” until they had a fight and required being separated. Male got new owner. #
• @gbraad the female has been under my care for quite some years now, neat! #
• @gbraad @jwildeboer hey! All your fish are belong to my dinossaur! #

• ♺ @glynmoody: Obama Reiterates Support For Finishing ACTA – http://bit.ly/bLNChc whoops – out of step again… #obama #acta #eu #
• Never had used/tried before, but finally did now. #OSSEC is really cool and can very well save us hundreds of thousands of Euros. Pitfals? #
• Don’t dare claiming #Thunderbird’s a whole lot better than #Evolution. It isn’t, and I use both of them. They’re both as bad. #
• @oeming did you try Inkscape and GIMP? What did you think of them, could you share that? Even bad critics are good for future improvements. #
• Quando há um ano o site da transparência caiu pelas visitas derivadas d’O Público, teve 200 mil visitas numa manhã. #

• I meant libvirt, of course… #
• @gbraad well, I must confess that the Red Hat way to handle updates has really gone downstream. It’s a huge hassle to non-internet systems. #
• Agradeço aos Eurodeputados portugueses o seu voto sobre a ACTA. Com excepção de VMoreira AGomes MDavid e PRangel q abstiveram ou ñ votaram. #
• Foi um bom voto. Para os restantes Eurodeputados portugueses: PARABÉNS! #

• @rkj if I cared about “widely adopted” I’d go with Windows and other such proprietary #crapware. #
• @gbraad will check it out, hope it works well 🙂 #
• @pietercolpaert Don’t let #orval decide for you 😉 now seriously, why? #
• Is Remi’s repo the best way to get Firefox 3.6 for !fedora ? #
• Is !Fedora 13’s Firefox 3.6 only problem the Java plugin if installed in Fedora 12? #
• @lovenemesis for me it’s not a problem (hate java in browser anyways) 🙂 #
• @mostafada I know, thanks, I just wanted to know if there was a very serious issue if I did that… #

• Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is another very well spent time even if the 3D didn’t add much. #
• @chmod755: web can’t support OpenPGP safely and securely, never give your keys to a remote server !fsf !fsfe !ubuntu !fedora !gnu #
• @sunny256: yeah but that isn’t support of #OpenPGP that is sending a normal fil.e #
• @openuniverse of course not, don’t be ridiculous. I’m talking about webmail. The best you can do is send a file that happens to be encrypted #
• @lovenemesis the OpenMoko has about 5 computers inside the device. The GSM one runs a proprietary dedicated OS. #
• @lovenemesis However, even if we could run Free Software in it (and we’re really close to) it needs legalizing or you can go to jail for it. #
• @rkj I’m kind of hopeful for Moorestown and Meego in the sens of running Free Software in it, but I’ll bet it’s not open hardware. #
• @gbraad GSM is quickly growing irrelevant 🙂 #
• @rkj yup, that’s Moorestown. #
• Oh, I think I got it on how to use eet_data_descriptors 🙂 #

• @support @elmdentica marked http://identi.ca/notice/24027987 as favorite w/twitter api, shows up in favorites, but can’t unmark as favorite #
• @support “echo | curl –basic –user elmdentica http://identi.ca/api/favorites/create/17580436.xml -d -” gives error #
• @support The database for Identi.ca isn’t responding correctly, so the site won’t work properly. #
• @gbraad monitor or tv? 🙂 #
• @support it’s an HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error #
• @support oh well, looking forward for fix applied date… 🙂 any suggested workaround? #
• @support is it *also* supposed to break when marking from web browser? it’s broken through there as well. #
• @gbraad it seems that if I mark a notice as favorite through twitter api in identi.ca it corrupts something at DB level. #

• Ok, User timeline also works ok on !elmdentica, just trying it out with an account with no difference between user and friends timelines. #

• @toopaz I believe you are unfamiliar with the history of Apple vs Microsoft, right? Young, are you? Right? #
• @jwildeboer I’d prefer a better one, one where the maker isn’t «disinclined» to fix bugs. Worst problem of OLPC hw is probably wifi card. #
• ♺@samadeu: Proposta antipirataria do Governo inglês é derrotada na Câmara dos Lordes http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8549112.stm #
• @jwildeboer but the godawful bug that it *never* powers down is a serious energy drainer. «Marvell’s disinclined to fix this bug» from wiki #
• ♺ @mjnalmeida: “HACKED BY NEO” http://bit.ly/aNgDDR #
• !elmdentica now allows choosing your preferred browser and supports public, user and friends timelines. Also a bit faster, uses more EFL. #

• @jwildeboer sure, why not. #
• Excelente artigo: O Tsunami Somos Nós http://tek.sapo.pt/opiniao/opiniao_o_tsunami_somos_nos_1050302.html por @jmcesteves #
• @gbraad a couple of hours ago @bkuhn from twitter (who’s not @bkuhn from identi.ca) got a message from me 🙂 #
• @gbraad if !osmocombb is able to make calls but not licensed, you can go to jail for using it. not a solution, different issue: #stupidlaw #
• @bkuhn I’m hopeful Moorestown won’t be so bad as current android phones are 🙂 #

• @bugabundo Don’t you mean $ gconftool-2 –set “/apps/metacity/general/button_layout” –type string “:minimize,maximize,close” ? !ubuntu #
• @bugabundo I just thought you where telling other !ubuntu users how to get it the normal way. #
• @bugabundo One risk for !ubuntu with all this “looks” changes are #apple lawsuites, let’s hope they don’t feel like repeating the old case. #
• @bugabundo they did it against Windows with far greater differences… so…. #
• Yes! Loading the public timelines now works in !elmdentica svn… #

• @bkuhn: so … did you cover !freerunner and freesmartphone.org? didn´t read it yet #

• @gbraad right on! #
• @bkuhn still haven’t read your article, but while OpenMoko failed as a company, freesmartphone is what GNU/Linux was years ago. #
• Interested in Munich’s experiences migrating 15k desktops to OpenOffice.org? Listen @floschi’s talk tmrw at #CeBIT, 9:15, http://ur1.ca/o81w #
• @bkuhn you know that there’s people working on getting the freesmartphone.org stack on other phones, right? 🙂 what’s needed is drivers 🙁 #
• @bkuhn android forks are worthless, just get the drivers and get a real platform on the phone. android sucks as a platform. shiny toy. #
• @bkuhn just finished reading your article. my feelings exactly, however you seem to be okay with mere forks of android or meego. #
• @bkuhn that doesn’t work because of device drivers. our biggest problem on embed devices are drivers. => too much proprietary. #
• @bkuhn @gbraad and drivers is what leaves me most hopeful about meego, lest the same brainiacs behing poulsbo are involved… #
• s/behing/behind/ #
