Week ending Sunday 2014/09/28
Monday 10:18 · Oracle is hurting: www.techrepublic.com/article/two-new-ceos-dont-add-up-to-meaningful-change-at-oracle/ Now it can be said: Buying Sun was a bonehead move based on Scott/Larry being golf buddies. [Original.]
Monday 10:25 · RT @authzero: mugs are here! ☕️ [Original.]
Monday 10:47 · I have to say, @simplysecureorg looks awesome. Where’s the “we’re hiring” page? [Original.]
Monday 11:15 · My keyring now has a YubiKey Neo on it. Early days for this tech, but huge potential I think. [Original.]
Monday 12:07 · @lmedinas You have to buy a $10 helper app on OS X. [Original, responding to @lmedinas.]
Monday 12:54 · I find the Android Twitter client confusing, can't track conversations, so... [Original.]
Monday 12:55 · ... I was happy when it popped up a little rate-me dialogue, and when I gave a low rating, it asked if I wanted to say why... [Original.]
Monday 12:56 · ... I did, so it opened an email to a Google group to fill in the feedback... [Original.]
Monday 12:57 · ... which bounced because I'm not authorized to post to that group. Sigh. [Original.]
Monday 15:30 · So, gpg comes with Yubikey integration (via ISO 7816) and you can do crypto with a short PIN, no dorky passprase. Nifty! Will write up. [Original.]
Monday 15:39 · @mnot The big win is on mobile, where typing passphrases is a non-starter. But NFC is required. [Original, responding to @mnot.]
Monday 15:41 · @mnot No fruit. Current policy is that their NFC is for Apple Pay only. No general-purpose API. [Original, responding to @mnot.]
Monday 15:45 · @bryantcutler Surely just a matter of volume? At scale, you’d think mfg cost would be pennies. [Original, responding to @bryantcutler.]
Tuesday 07:15 · RT @mattcutts: Rackspace takes on another patent troll and wins again: Seriously great, pro-user way to burnish thei… [Original.]
Tuesday 07:54 · @m_eiman Yeah, the Yubi did USB & NFC but no BT. I wonder why. Perhaps so it needs no power supply? It’s super-rugged. [Original, responding to @m_eiman.]
Tuesday 08:31 · So hard to believe, in 2014, that Westerners dropping bombs anywhere in the Middle East can really improve anything. [Original.]
Tuesday 09:53 · @m_eiman No, NFC works passively, takes power from the active side. [Original, responding to @m_eiman.]
Tuesday 09:53 · @m_eiman But I bet you’re right, the issue with BT is security related. [Original, responding to @m_eiman.]
Tuesday 10:20 · @m_eiman Yep. This usage works with passive. To generate keys, you have to plug it into the USB though. [Original, responding to @m_eiman.]
Wednesday 02:16 · So, in most airports, the only headphones you can buy are the ones that @marcoarment says are shit. [Original.]
Wednesday 06:31 · On Lebara SIM in Denmark, there are 4 different sets of conflicting APN settings on the Internet and NONE OF THEM WORK on my Nexus 7. [Original.]

Wednesday 09:40 · @MayhemBCN Gotta rehearse & debug demos.😢 [Original, responding to @MayhemBCN.]
Wednesday 09:40 · @MayhemBCN But where? [Original, responding to @MayhemBCN.]
Wednesday 22:35 · @fredjean Nothing. I’m testing using Keybase.io with a new key tied to a yubikey hardware token. Works great! [Original, responding to @fredjean.]
Wednesday 23:40 · RT @BR3NDA: I daydreamed that twitter removed the character limit and our lives were forever altered and so much tldr [Original.]
Thursday 04:14 · @kriswager I don’t distance myself from it, I just point out that, in 2014, 1996 inventions aren’t very interesting. [Original, responding to @kriswager.]
Thursday 04:16 · @chuq Hoping the staff aren’t pale-skinned and avoid mirrors… [Original, responding to @chuq.]
Thursday 04:50 · Every time I look at Elixir code I get a warm stretchy feeling in my brain. In this case, @josevalim at #gotocph [Original.]

Sunday 02:03 · BTW, Bitcoin’s down by a third or so since earlier this year. Doesn’t seem to be news… [Original.]
Sunday 02:19 · @konklone Woah… thanks for pointing that out. Weird/bad indeed. [Original, responding to @konklone.]
Sunday 05:50 · RT @markmackinnon: RT @wu_venus: Tens of thousands still occupying main road in HK. Banner says "protect HK. We refuse a downfall." … [Original.]
