@harrietvsworld I'm not going to be told off if I don't do it though. I'll just fall behind in class.

@harrietvsworld Compulsory? Well I guess it's compulsory if I don't want to be a monolingual moron.

My Norwegian language homework is hurting my brain! http://random.ryanhellyer.net/

Ohhh, just discovered I can change my Chromebooks wallpaper now. Anyone know if that's a new update too? Or just something I've missed?

New Chromebooks announced yesterday. Big update today. I'm guessing that's not a coincidence.

Hmm, Chromebook appears to fixed an ongoing Chrome sync bug I've been experiencing too. Good day to be a Chromebook owner it seems.

Not only is it flipped, but I think my Chromebook is two-finger scrolling a LOT faster now too. Much less jerky than it was a few hours ago.

Egads, my Chromebook just flipped it's two finger scroll direction like how OSX did a while back. Very confusing.

@XanaduHowTo I'm resorting to eating cheap nasty pizza by myself for dinner tonight. We must make up for it tomorrow

@nakrissimo Warghhh! All the pretty girls are busy this evening I'm going to go buy pizza to make up for it

@nakrissimo Wanna come join me for more poison then?

@nakrissimo Poisoned? That doesn't sound good at all! I might go get a kebab (which is probably also poisoned)

@nakrissimo Damnit! That last tweet of yours is making me hungry. What was that? And can I get one in Grunnerløkka?

@ryandonsullivan Grow more crops My guess (based on not much) is that this is not of practical use, or at least not for creating fuel.

@ryandonsullivan I get the concept, but I'd have thought it was more efficient to just grow more plants and convert them into alcohol.

@nakrissimo I'd rather poke my own eyeballs out with a stick.

@nakrissimo Minnie TheBruiser informs you have a much better surface now which will be good. Rubber didn't seem all that appealing.

@nakrissimo Yep, my rollerhockey skates.

@nakrissimo I'm not sure how long they'll take to arrive. Hopefully only a few weeks, but we'll see.

@nakrissimo I've FINALLY ordered for my skates to be sent from New Zealand! Rollerderby reffing here I come!

@TurcuCiprian My ChromeBook has WAYY better battery life so is ideal for travel so long as I don't need to do dev work.

@TurcuCiprian My only issue with the ChromeBook, is that if I want to work whilst travelling, I need my MacBook.

@TurcuCiprian I only use those things for work. Everything else in the browser for me.

@TurcuCiprian What apps do you use? I don't generally use any. I try to stay in a browser at all times.

@TurcuCiprian FYI, I've been using my Chromebook all evening.

@TurcuCiprian It's also by far the most secure thing you could reasonably use for internet banking. So they're ideal if you are paranoid.

@TurcuCiprian There are a small minority of us out there who use ChromeBook's.

@TurcuCiprian Oh, and complex photo editing, but basic stuff I do via the ChromeBook's built in photo editing tool.

@TurcuCiprian I don't use non-web apps apart from for dev. work.

@TurcuCiprian I guess I use it like people do an iPad, but it has a keyboard and screen.

I use my MacBook Air for dev work, but everything else I do on my Chromebook. @TurcuCiprian

@TurcuCiprian Er, … computer stuff? lol, not sure how to answer that.

I use my MacBook Air about half the time. Rest of the time I use my Chromebook. @jstr

I wan't planning on replacing my trusty Chromebook, but this is VERY tempting! … http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/samsung-chromebook.html Doesn't even have a fan!

I recall something being mentioned about WordPress handling high res. displays better in version 3.5. Any ideas on where that's at?

RT @squaregirl: A guy just jumped out of space and we still can't properly vertically align with CSS.

@PauldeWouters Oh, I see

@PauldeWouters Not impressed with what?

@Rarst I don't think I can recall seeing a computer with a Mic input in the back. They're usually on the sides or sometimes the front.

@no_fear_inc I wish they'd just use regular audio/mic inputs. Much simpler that way.

@dave_sherratt Cool Thanks for the update. Are you able to watch the YouTube feed? YouTube is still down for me unfortunately.

@no_fear_inc No idea. I have a Logitech headset, but it's kinda crappy as it only works via USB.

Introducing Marble the chameleon … http://ryanhellyer.net/2012/10/14/marble/

@Hexxeh I suspect @FeIixBaumgartnr might feel otherwise

@Hexxeh Yep, @FeIixBaumgartnr broke YouTube.

@dave_sherratt He remember he had a stability chute. Maybe that slowed him down during the freefall bit?

@williamsba Your country rules at space exploration. It'd be great to see you guys doing some more totally insane stuff like in the 60's.

@omrisancho That definitely explains my confusion. I was assuming he'd need to be doing some totally insane speed to manage it.

@omrisancho Speed of sound gets slower at higher altitudes, I thought it was the opposite. HEADBANG!

@omrisancho Oh shit. NOW I get it. I had it around the wrong way!

@omrisancho I assumed that was at a very high altitude though.

@omrisancho I'm cynical. I'd have thought the air would slow him down too much once he approached the surface. I'll do some googling …

@omrisancho What was the link for? I don't see anything about using gravity to break it on there.

@SiobhanPMcKeown YouTube has caches all over the globe, so it was probably a local cache that maxed out perhaps.

@omrisancho I thought it was the speed of sound at sea level, not the actual speed of sound. Maybe I misunderstood.

@omrisancho Is it possible you mean the speed of sound at sea level?

@omrisancho Ahh, I don't think it is possible to reach the sound barrier via gravity. You wouldn't even get close.

@angiemeeker I guess I'll have to watch it afterwards

@SiobhanPMcKeown That's also using YouTube, so is down too

@SiobhanPMcKeown Thanks

@angiemeeker Thanks. I don't have a TV here though.

Is anyone else managing to watch the skydive? All I get is a loading symbol on the YouTube stream

@markoheijnen I hope I fixed the typo on your name before you read it

RT @kovshenin: Asking for help with your code without at least indenting it properly, is like going to the dentist without brushing your …

@TCBarrett I ended up going for a Samsung GS3, so not quite "phablet" territory, but big enough for most things IMO.

@TCBarrett I've considered buying a small tablet before, but decided I'd make better use of a big phone.

@TCBarrett I don't know anything about that sort of thing. I always buy my own devices.

@jdub lol, where on earth do these nutbars come from?

@bluelimemedia Thanks. And yeah, three tracks is too much.

@TCBarrett A phone that's big enough to almost be called a tablet. Like the Samsung Galaxy Note.

@pgibbs That is very very short.

@TCBarrett Buy a phablet instead.

@miss_jwo @no_fear_inc @chrislema Thanks Your suggestions are somewhere around what I had in mind. The 60 min talks I find a bit long.

@karmatosed me too

Question to WordCamp attendees. What is your preferred talk length?

@konstruktors @hanlasse Chrome Remote beta is another alternative … https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop-bet/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp

@omrisancho It wasn't Celine Dion either, but I get your point.

@omrisancho I don't know what Calin is, but yes, similar.

Why is Facebook telling everyone what I've looked at? So much for stalking in privacy!

@alexkingorg Congrats on Twitter Tools 3. I hope it's a worthy replacement for the now sadly defunct Wickett Twitter widget.

RT @alexkingorg: Twitter Tools 3.0 is now available! http://alexking.org/?p=14672

@Japh Thanks for the input. I'm confused though. What is the plugin reminding you to do?

@bronsonquick I update my own sites with SVN. Backups I plan to do with cronjob and S3CMD command line tool.

@benjaminbradley Dang! More praise for @infinitewp I'm glad I suggested it to my colleagues this morning.

@bronsonquick We need a few more features than just auto-updating, so @infinitewp is looking promising so far.

@zedejose Hmmm. Well I've only been using Norwegian so hopefully they're not like that.

I'm liking these responses for opinions on @infinitewp

@zedejose Fascinating. I've actually launched sites by downloading the EN version, then dumping in language files.

@zedejose I wasn't aware there are any localized PHP files apart from the wp-config file.

@zedejose Do you mean that the language files don't update?

@zedejose What specifically is the problem with updating non-English versions?

@zedejose Most of the sites we'll be updating are non-English versions of WP.

@zedejose I love that it's a hosted platform rather than trusting a third party with my client data.

@Rarst Come post at @wprealm and you too can join the cool club

Messing around with http://infinitewp.com at the moment. Anyone have experience with it? Good or bad?
