My long obsession with selfies gets really awkward on the AppleTv photo stream screensaver.


RT @BadAstronomer: I would unironically and joyously watch a Doctor Who kids’ cartoon if this were the opening. http://t.co/vD3xmW8yh4


@pmbuko @GlennF is there a non-huge manatee? A Minatee?


@eaton damn autocorrect. Middleware.


@eaton a novel set in mid-21st century middle wear testing would be all expletives.


Duck Wisdom.


Finally watches Rise of the Planet of the Apes in preparation for Dawn (OTPOTA). Wow. Serkis's work was amazing.


My youngest daughter looked at my Ubuntu desktop with multiple terminals open and called it "spaceship writing #nerdhouse #myscifilife


@lmorchard would also look for sell buy orders in market so we know if we could make money off them...


@lmorchard (contd) so that our Indy members could target production and market populating


@lmorchard before I quit I wrote a client in python that pulled down the top 20 ships and modules lost by our corp... (Contd)


@lmorchard somehow knowing you're hacking EVE market data makes you even cooler to this nerd #nerds #internetspaceships


Guardians of the Galaxy: awesome!!!


monkinetic: Docker, Openstack, testing followup http://t.co/UFiA5qnOgp


Docker, Openstack, testing followup

Last week I wrote about an issue I was having with Docker and running mysql (among other things):

>The issue I'm on right now is that mysql-server won't start. I tried starting (and restarting) it manually in my Dockerfile with RUN service mysql start after mysql is installed but always get a policy-rc.d error.

What I finally learned (after some research and some helpful folks in the #docker IRC) is that Docker is really designed to run a single process in a limited jail-like environment. It's not a virtual machine, which is why containers are smaller and way faster to start.

If you need to run an app with access to a variety of processes, it seems that current best practice is to boot multiple docker containers running the various services, and use docker container linking to have the services talk to each other.

As for my particular use case, I decided that I did not need a complete Openstack install in order to run my unit tests. I stripped back my provisioning script to only install the base debian packages and the Openstack Dashboard packages, which installs the dashboard unit testing frameworks and mock data that my tests depend on. I can then run my tests and pull out the results for processing.


@davewiner wait, you have a blog?! :-P


@Coverville such a great album. My fav of theirs.


@lchen @tbmcmullen next time disaster strikes "at least you didn't get downgraded from a 787."


RT @iamdevloper: Wipe a developer's memory and show them code they just wrote, and they would say it's the worst code they've ever seen.


ok, is the @atpfm theme song available on the iTunes store or something? Cause I’d listen the hell out of that song.
