  • Time to recover Starseige #Tribes for its noble purpose as a sublime game not some silly book about, pshaw, community leadership! As if. #
  • After all, what’s “community leadership” if not being on a team capturing and holding an enemy checkpoint? That’s community a la #Tribes #
  • @joguldi I wonder how many friends I could get together to buy $100 houses in the same neighborhood somewhere? Instant intent’l community. in reply to joguldi #
  • Sure, there’s $100 houses in Detroit, but I can’t get Kentucky Fried Movie’s “NO! NOT DETROIT! ANYTHING BUT DETROIT!” outta my mind … #
  • Yeah, priorities are important. Short duration intentional community online playing #Tribes must be up somewhere near “Bread” & “Water”. #
  • Really struck by this Timbers Army crest, with a rosy cross in front and a Woodcraft sunrise in back … http://tinyurl.com/dht48v #
  • WiMAX for Linux in the new kernel http://tinyurl.com/ca938s #
  • @ursonate It’s a thing from a movie in the 70’s – 1/2 way down this page http://tinyurl.com/32tvf in reply to ursonate #
  • @xenijardin restart is warm startup (no BIOS), reboot is cold (w/ BIOS), reset is an unclean shutdown then a cold startup (w/ BIOS) in reply to xenijardin #
  • @xenijardin Er, and by BIOS, I really mean POST. #
  • The link for the “more” button on a twitter profile includes “&twttr=true” but manually using “&twttr=false” doesn’t change anything #
  • Neither does setting it to something else nor removing it from the URL … so, why’s it there? #
  • The problem w/ hashtags are that people aren’t consistent, or don’t use them. Needs to be more seamless. iwantsandy-like autodetection … #
  • There are more than twice as many results for GDC than for #GDC for example … #
  • @xiojason seems like any term based on a certain user-config’d threshold should be linked to a search for that term automatically, like GDC in reply to xiojason #
  • @xiojason Except for a way to determine that threshold, that’s a client issue. The API should have some way to query for interesting terms. in reply to xiojason #
  • @xiojason Ignore stopwords, then have a back-channel stream non-uniq w/ a +term msg or -term msg … then let a client aggregate on the fly #
  • @xiojason a runtime thesaurus! or, you know, simpler to just let the folk do their onomy … #
