@ndw #turses if you want a cli-based client. #turpial is a good GUI client (gtk based). Choqok - haven't used - is a KDE client.—@CanOfBees
@ndw Why do you need a client other than #Emacs? Try `twittering-mode' https://t.co/jB5Me8l8t8—@MenteaXML
@ndw @MariusNestor Official @Twitter Client for Linux?
http://t.co/ixLTStv4qC Why not crowdsource #UXResearch @Research @Design #UX—@SingularityIs
@ndw ... the website :\ and sometimes perl scripts.—@gcarothers
@gcarothers @ndw I use the web site and "Pin tab" in the browser (also pin Evernote, OWA (for calendar),
and a few others.—@cramerdw

@BadAstronomer @ndw When do you think we might be able to see this in the UK? Loved the first series

@gabrielsaldana protip: you can drink wine out of any vessel, even the bottle. If you break the bottle,
though...—@ndw
@ndw haha well, I switched to scotch. Those glasses are less fragile when washing—@gabrielsaldana

Lots of online "JSON lint" services; any offline ones? Or ones with a programmatic
API? Want to test/format during doc build.—@ndw

@ndw must be the work of marketing.—@alexmilowski
.@alexmilowski More-or-less, it's for #MarkLogic World. I can fight delivering PowerPoint or I can work on fun stuff. Fun stuff wins.—@ndw
@ndw seems like the right choice. ;)—@alexmilowski

I had to edit every slide in the master template to get the copyright date correct
in the footers. Really? #powerpointgripes—@ndw

Inter-bullet spacing is (a) awful and (b) inconsistent on a slide-by-slide basis.
Really? #powerpointgripes—@ndw
@ndw Um, *yeah*. One of many #powerpointgripes—and why you should use *any* other slideshow tool.—@Zearin
@ndw gotten to the fun stuff yet? :p—@alexmilowski

Let's not be snobbish about Wikipedia. When I've looked up stuff I know, I've been
impressed. Gives confidence for things I don't know.—@RichardDawkins

"Privatized" "science". An oxymoron so absurd one hardly knows where to begin.—@umairh

When people see me #coding all the time and tell me I should do something fun, I'm like "No, you don't get it.
I REALLY LIKE this stuff."—@saronyitbarek

If gaming is beer, VR is whisky. Potent, and if done well can be exquisite, but if
done badly gives you a headache and makes you puke.—@llamasoft_ox

There were single primes instead of typographically correct apostrophes on a web page.
Is the reason I’m 20 minutes late.—@zeldman

“Yes.”—@whump

The thing about Ayn Rand recipes is that they only serve one. Cooking for others simply
encourages dependencies and expectations of handouts—@bsletten
