Twitter Updates for 2011-10-20

@sglassmeyer I'm sure tonight's news will feature someone trying to surf those 20 ft waves. #
I am attending Open Education 2011 http://t.co/WxOyuv8o 10/25-27. I'm sure there'll be a hash tag like #opened11 or something. #
stdout.be | A wild success and an utter failure http://t.co/Hiq53OSP [interesting take on Wikipedia, good insight.] #
Hmm, apparently it is possible use all 4 gig of memory on my MacBookPro. Maybe I need something faster and roomier. #

Switching back and forth b/t coding #Drupal modules and #WordPress plugins is Fun And Exciting. Just need to keep those API calls straight. #
Very cool. SupCt of PA is on Twitter @SupremeCtofPA "for the latest available dispositional orders and opinions." Can't wait for more Cts. #
BTW, picked up tip on @SupremeCtofPA from Slashdot of all places – Pennsylvania Supreme Court Tweets Rulings – Slashdot http://t.co/XNoRsOOA #

@johnpmayer yes, #DPLLA should be a platform. Strictly speaking, could be just an API that others build services on. #
“@TechCrunch: CMU Researchers Turn Any Surface Into A Touchscreen http://t.co/5Oe8fIY8 by @johnbiggs” #wantone #

@CALIorg #Classcaster blogging platform fully operational now. Went ahead and did some updating to. Still trying to sort out what happened. #
Law Librarian Blog: Declining Academic Credentials of 1Ls: Will the mad dash to fill seats in the legal academy put… http://t.co/0RC1f1pm #

Now on the iPad/iOS/iCloud #fail front: repeatedly need to reset my Apple passwd. The rules changed, it seems like things are out of sync. #
@johnpmayer thinking critically = analysis, suggesting alternatives; being critical = negative, attack ideas or person. #
Google engineer calls Google+ a "pathetic afterthought" and "knee-jerk reaction" http://t.co/lgBMP4UG #

@edmyers I wasn't going to say anything… #
updating the iPad to the new shiny iOS 5.0. Apparently I'll know when the update is done because the iPad will float 4 inches off my desk. #
Well, instead of floating, the iPad sunk. Update to iOS 5.0 failed. Apple tells me I may need to update OSX first. Bass Ackwards. #
@brianlbaker An otherwise up-to-date version of Lion. And the iPad was up-to-date also. D/L the Lion updates now. #
And the iPad upgrade to iOS 5 #fails again! This time "the iPad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable" #
@LiHuMa You, me and half the civilized world, apparently. http://t.co/YvmKJ71s #
@LiHuMa Yes it is. And it makes me a little bit happy inside when a big company has trouble anticipating demand just like me! #
Yippee! iPad update to iOS 5 worked on the 4th try. Look, tabbed browsing! And iCloud! Oh, my! #

Reporting for jury duty this morning. #
In the jury assembly room. Was on a jury yrs ago in SYR. Cool seeing system at work. Something every #lawstudent should do. #

@carlmalamud @freegovinfo Court opinions on FDsys a big step in right direction. Can't wait for public beta to see for myself. #DPLLA #
@carlmalamud Central location, signed by GPO, metadata in XML, consistent formats (hoping for XML/HTML like other FDsys material). #
“@zheller: A good argument for how over-exaggerated the power of Twitter is http://t.co/PceaOlMw” [Twitter is an echo chamber.] #
@carlmalamud Just PDF would disappoint. GPO signed PDFs would raise interesting questions about 'official' versions of opinions though. #
Creating ebooks requires a whole different way of thinking about text, and it is hard to get past our deeply ingrained concepts of "book". #
@sglassmeyer Absolutely! A real index would be nice, too. #
@johnpmayer Perhaps, but consider a syllabus or outline that refers to "page 8" of a book. That ref may mean nothing in an ebook context. #
