  • What does @openstack do to #vcloud? Ideally, force split between procedural and declarative layers; the latter should be API-neutral. #
  • Every time I come to Baltimore for a standards meeting, I wind up watching baseball at Camden Yards. (Twice in 10 years, inc. tonight.) #
  • Top of 3rd, Rays up 2-0, nobody out, bases loaded, and of course it's a walk…. Painful to watch. (Now it's 5-0…) #
  • Good grief, how quickly one forgets. East coast, hot summer night, therefore mosquitos. Sigh. #
  • The @openstack edge is the framework, not the individual technologies. E.g. someone will surely contribute a better EBS than one using AoE #
  • RT @markveldhuis, @scobleizer Flipboard "currently over capacity". < They didn't host in an elastic cloud? How 2007 of them! #
  • RT @vambenepe: Anyone can build an IaaS mgmt tool that works across Clouds. <<< At geo scale? With SLAs? With hw lifecycle mgmt? Bullshit… #
  • RT @vambenepe: @geoffarnold I meant a customer-side console. <Yes that's easier, but it still involves a delicate balance, to avoid pure LCD #
  • RT @vambenepe: "I think SOAP died when it became clear that Microsoft & IBM were having private meetings" < Boy, that resonates powerfully! #
  • RT @neilhimself: @amandapalmer Try Kirsty's "You broke my butt in 17 places" #changehearttobuttsongs #
  • RT @wspruijt: "OMG! The 10th of October will be 101010, which is 42 in binary. The answer to life, the universe & EVERYTHING!"< My birthday! #
  • “@ruv: Like fashion, most of the hot concepts in technology today are just recycled from previous fads” < CP-67 to hypervisors, for example #
  • RT @alecmuffett: Yay! There is a LX5! < But a bit pricey at $500 – I'll stick with my DMC-TZ4 pocket-cam (and Nikon P90 for zoom) #
  • RT @GeorgeReese: I miss Krispy Kreme. <Because none near you, or doctor's orders? #
  • That's it for TM Forum's Team Action Week in Baltimore. 170 people from 23 countries, 96+ meetings, 4 days. 1st mtg of the Cloud Services WG #
  • “@krishnan: Really impressed with some of the new features offered by AWS in the recent months.” < +1 to that; velocity is addictive #
  • “@theschnack: Did you know: The @tmforumorg has 2 Rachels on payroll. #3gpp doesn't. #taw” < quantity *AND* quality 🙂 #
  • “@theschnack: @geoffarnold Here you go, as I elbow you” < nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more, squire! #
  • “@ruv: @jasonbrooks The people who complain about 'Open Core' have no money to spend anyway.” < NASA has no money to spend? Who knew? #
  • Back at the Hilton after copious eating/drinking/carousing with the folks from @tmforumorg. I have an 8:35 flight home, so /me shutdown now #
  • Personal peeve: People who arrange for routine events (like subscribing to a YouTube channel) to generate blog entries which show up in RSS #
  • I just earned the Going Out Pin on @gowalla! http://gowal.la/r/WTBF #
  • “@rgeorge28: Kid A not the greatest #Radiohead album IMO” < Whoever thought it was? OK Computer blows it away… #
  • Interesting – but carefully neutral – David Brooks piece on moral naturalism – http://nyti.ms/csnZf9 I wonder what he really feels… #
  • Hint for new people I follow: if your tweets are >25% of the traffic over a 6 hour period, I'll un-follow you. Think s/n, people! #
  • In response to the question that @danariely posted at http://danariely.com my responses are (B) and (D). And now I'll watch the video. #
  • In response to the question that @danariely posted at http://danariely.com my responses are (B) and (D). Oops: I missed the country: England #
  • The Limits of the Coded World – http://nyti.ms/cXp26B – an excellent analysis of free will and the consequences of the "epistemic horizon" #
