- The @nytimes has some brilliant animation showing the increasing pace of #olympic 100m runners http://t.co/meUHLWgf #
- The false-start disqualification rule suggests the WR for 100m might be broken at less important meet as Bolt rarely best starter #
- I don’t understand these Bolt v Phelps comparisons. They’re in different sports. It’s not like Bolt is going to beat Phelps in the pool ! #
- @GTCost a h2g2 reference in an economics post. lateral #
- Has @MarsCuriosity found any martians yet? If so, are any of them faster than @usainbolt ? #
- “@slashdot: NASA’s Own Video of Curiosity Landing Crashes Into a DMCA Takedown http://t.co/6XpvnxHi” <ludicrous! #
- I think I prefer pixelmator to photoshop. So simple to use & cheap #
- when energy saving policies actually cost energy http://t.co/aSoqE6ts #
- Interesting blog post contrasting PhD studies & startups http://t.co/taRY9ujL #
- @JMcCormac hey John. What do you use to do the data analysis? Is it a map-reduce algorithm? #
- @JMcCormac ah yes, I remember discussing it w/ you and @rjrodger standing outside WIT 1 night in the rain 🙂 #
- @JMcCormac optimisation of cartesian product joins on v large datasets. #
- @JMcCormac wow, very neat. ever run any machine learning algos to see correlations in name, time, corp’s? #
- @rjrodger @jmccormac We were doing SEEPP at the time. Myself & Richard ending up working together shortly after that. #
- @JMcCormac @rjrodger and encryption using the internet equivalent of number stations. It was an interesting chat. #
- @JMcCormac the conclusion on the web dev -> hoster question? #
- Good luck to Katie T #london2012 #
- @Tweet_Dec me too 🙂 #
- 10-8 Very close fight. You could see how nervous Katie Taylor was. So much expected #London2012 #
- @colettebrowne he’s channeling Michael Jackson. Shamone #
- @anthonymcg @ireland absolutely, I’m not a believer but evangelical atheism directed at any1, never mind an olympic gold winner is crass #
- @paulmwatson or the @usainbolt honour lap as the 200m is now called #london2012 #
- Not fit, back trouble yet @usainbolt still wins. No sick notes for the bolt #
- @JimmyAnderson9 they’ll settle for a gold medal. #
- @gavinsblog it’s just way too easy to setup a fake a/c & get loads of followers so it looks realistic #
- @gavinsblog twitter’s approach to verification focuses on celebs & corps. Focussed on avoiding negative pub & lawsuits against twitter #
- @gavinsblog some bayes filtering cld suggest spam a/c’s for them to check. Similar to how spamassassin works #
- @gavinsblog tht too. sentiment analysis on twitter prone to distortions cos of this. Similar to manipulation alleged @ http://t.co/wO5BhyCV #
- @gavinsblog of course but it’s being used by banks in HFT algos. Direct incentive to manipulate social media. #
- @gavinsblog identity laundering. Take fake a/c with fake followers & use your credibility to legitimise it for some financial/social purpose #
- @gavinsblog did an experiment with tht on fb. Got some friends of friends who followed me to friend a fictitious person 🙂 #
- One of the press photographers lent @usainbolt his camera to take some snaps after his historic 200m final. http://t.co/N3giCmqX #
- Loren on the “Art of Matlab” is a useful blog for engineers & quantitative analysts http://t.co/xgFiGVVg #
- @forbairt increased “slickness” apparently. Haven’t upgraded yet as I’m sure it’ll break some opens source stuff I rely on. #
- @topgold not sure I’d agree that they work harder than previous gens but they’re professionally v conservative #
- @topgold but the baby boomers gave birth to IT industry as we know it. Will conservatism of Gen Y reduce pace of innovation? #
- @topgold I suspect that’s why “occupy” petered out. When I lectured, a banking IT job was viewed as the pinnacle of respect & cash. #
- @ireland wouldn’t vote for him if he chose me as his running mate 🙂 #
- it’s vpn/tor for me again as upc didn’t get their act together on bbc interactive coverage of #london2012 #
- @SiviPanda yep, great story #

- “@businessinsider: USA Beats Spain In A 107-100 Thriller To Win Gold In Men’s Basketball by @tonymanfred http://t.co/eqlqhhgV” <v exciting #
- @EmCally @ohpeanut what kind of nasty things? RT for our perusal 🙂 #
- @RiotTapes cheered me up anyway #
- @Punka1977 totally. New single schmingle #
- @wellboy76 @maryroche @dermotkeyes if taking the piss was an #olympics sport a Waterfordian would bag the gold every time #
- @ohpeanut @emcally I can see that myself but back to the suggestions 😛 #
- @RiotTapes I sincerely hope they were appalled 😉 #
- It’s @edsheeran playing pink floyd’s wish you were here #london2012 #
- Now that’s surreal #london2012 . Would be great if Andrew Sachs got out of the bus #
- @recklessrik I’m ok with that #
- It’s an accountant on holiday. Either that or fatboy slim #
- @recklessrik love her squeaking #
- @aidankane dunno. I’d say some know lots about chemistry #controversial #
