Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-01-15

  • London, Hong Kong, New Zealand, shattered… #
  • @vdmeersven thanks Sven. Very tired by now. Just want to go to sleep even though I've already collapsed or a few hrs #
  • @paulmwatson Newspapers reporting "facts". Sounds unlikely & I can't imagine it would be popular #
  • Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) conference will be in Berlin in April 2012. Much needed! (via @stephenkinsella) #
  • @ronanmorris not all public sector employees receive increments. Contractors don't but I agree tht most do. #
  • Off to Wellington NZ this morning #
  • @wellboy76 holiday, perhaps 😉 #
  • @maxkeiser our catholic bent was overruled by our colonial mindset. When the poor kid w/ bad parents wins the lottery, seldom works out. #
  • @damienmulley and why not? #
  • @damienmulley will google for a pic. But 1st to enjoy the sunshine in Wellington, NZ 🙂 #
  • @liamooo that & they also tend to be either idiots, opportunists or ideologues with an exclusively supply side view of economic problems #
  • @klillington right but the law society viewed acting without a solicitor (an archaic & money wasting rule) as his major transgression. #

  • @jcollery okie doke. recommend looking at http://t.co/53MbIrQF most of this kind of work gets covered under this scheme in my experience #
  • @jcollery don't think so #
  • Stressful day. Only cure is pizza 🙂 #
  • @liamooo did u ever watch the wim wenders movie of the same name? #
  • @liamooo is it habit forming? #
  • Still waiting for that takeaway pizza. Need that rich tomato & garlic goodness pronto #
  • @eamonnpowerynet took them 1 hour. They were so embarrassed they gave me a voucher for more pizzas #
  • @feylya quite like aptana but I also use the ActiveState Komodo editor #
  • @feylya not yet but I will. Available on osx? #
  • @feylya see it now. cool + gang, will install it on new MB Air tomorrow. #
  • @eamonnpowerynet don't know tbh #
  • @jcollery done. good to see that everything got sorted out. #
  • Essential reading. How to make #osx lion behave like snow leopard (so it's usable :)) http://t.co/FEPFJqzV #
  • SGI offering turnkey hadoop clusters for #bigdata http://t.co/HQC7FSzv Compelling benchmarks #
  • @fionahaughney hates that #
  • @jcollery I think you're confusing science (new discoveries without immediate applications) & engineering (driven by business requirements) #
  • @jcollery thousands of cos. have used EI schemes to access innovation from IoT's & Unis. #
  • @jcollery glad we can help. We have projects with everybody from early stage entrepreneurs to fortune 100 corps #
  • @jcollery and I agree that it's tough to mix sales & research but EI can really help with that. Don't write them off 🙂 #
  • @jcollery @normanwyse Absolutely. 1 of the reasons I like apple is that they can turn high-risk engineering into gr8 consumer products #
  • @normanwyse @jcollery iphone was v high risk. Miniaturisation, elephant glass screen. brand new OS & multi-touch. Stunning tech #
  • @jcollery @normanwyse true but I think the problem was a company tht wanted to make consumer products at prices nobody cld afford #
  • Pixelmator is quite good. Not so good at rasterizing PDF images but mac preview does that beautifully #
  • Forgot quite how many dependencies GiNaC has. Lots of #macports compilation underway #

octave 3.4 on osx lion

Needs some tweaking to get it to work. Not the usual mkoctfile stuff which appears to be fixed. This time it’s the link to gcc/g++ (required to build packages) which is revealed in a mysterious config.log file that it dumps on the system.

I did

cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s llvm-gcc-4.2 gcc-4.2
sudo ln -s llvm-g++-4.2 g++-4.2

to fix it. Have fun.
