Am I supposed to know who "Justine" is? I'm pretty sure I don't care, I just wonder
if I'm supposed to know.—@ndw

Centerpiece of dinner tomorrow: a magnum of Sauterne and a whole foie gras. Starting

Obligatory food shot. http://p.twipple.jp/MrMFH—@ndw
@ndw Foie gras?—@james_clark
@james_clark Indeed. Whole one done two ways and accompanied by a magnum and two other bottles
of Sauterne (which we did not finish!). Yum!—@ndw
@kendall @james_clark Yeah, just a little. 2 Jan is New Year's Day with an off by one error. That's my
story.—@ndw
@james_clark May have to give @ndw a few more years in Texas for him to tweet photos of Fried Turkey and Pecan Pie.—@aljopainter
@aljopainter @james_clark I make a kick-a** pecan pie. http://photos.nwalsh.com/images/ndw/2012/11/21/IMG_20121121_195149—@ndw
@ndw @aljopainter Looks good. How do you like Austin? I've been there only once, but it seemed like
a nice place to live.—@james_clark
@ndw @james_clark Nice pie photo! Looks like you're settling into the Tejas way of life real good.—@aljopainter

.01 % probability to have bad earthquake this year in CA; 100% likely to have bad

Previously: ext video didn't work, but suspend was solid. Now: ext video (kinda/sorta)
works, but suspend is unreliable. #linux #notworking—@ndw

@ndw is pretty solid; lots of new features, etc. http://iso.cdn.pcbsd.org/10.0-RELEASE/amd64/ if there's interest.—@CanOfBees
@ndw I don't know what your requirements are, but if you're feeling adventurous consider
giving PC-BSD a try. The 10.0 release candidate (+)—@CanOfBees
@dpawson "It" being this Thinkpad W530. NVIDIA drivers: no ext display. Nouveau drivers: unreliable
boot, suspend/resume. #linux #grumpy—@ndw
@ndw @dpawson The nvidia GUI tool for configuring multiple monitors would always crash on me. Think
I used their tool to generate config.—@pdxleif

With Nouveau drivers, nox2apic and the MATE desktop instead of Cinnamon, I believe
I may be winning. #linux—@ndw

This may be surprising to anyone who follows me on twitter, but I don't think I've
ever intentionally used my caps lock key. EVER.—@scalzi
