At some point when I wasn't looking, "queet" became "quip". Thank you to whoever is responsible for that. <3 !gnusocial -

"Took its time coming down" is an understatement—we got to see this !rocket *actually get stuck in the sky* on the 23rd: http://cmass.org/index.php?view=image&format=raw&type=orig&id=1928&option=com_joomgallery&Itemid=6 http://status.hackerposse.com/url/10671 #haileris -

I think I need to get a few items from the Odd'l !Rockets catalog: http://oddlrockets.blogspot.com/p/accessories.html -

Also got a second HERC-5 !rocket kit for me—since the first was so much fun ☺ -

First big !rocket launch of the year for us, this weekend! Bought a couple new FlisKits directly from Jim Flis: a Tesla for me, a Triskelion for @nanohacker. -

Finally found a logo that fits the !TIL group—a frame from @NinaPaley's "Transmission": http://blog.ninapaley.com/2013/11/28/transmission/ -

Upgraded my Nikon Coolpix 950 to the latest firmware: v1.3. Partying like it's 1999! http://www.dpreview.com/articles/5574967436/950fw13 -

#APRILFOOLS: X-E2 v4.00 changed the RAF format just enough to crash #dcraw. Luckily someone else ran into this: https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/issues/3137 -

Upgrade procedure for Fujifilm X-E2 says "If the camera turns off during the firmware update, it won't work well." The amount of understatement there... can probably not be overstated. I'll use a fresh battery. -

Finally upgrading my digital cameras' firmware today. Not going to be dissuaded by the date.... -

The #Qt installer appears to be much better-behaved than I expected; I'm too used to installers like this shitting all over the host system. -

And TBH a big part of my problem is my being way more #paranoid than I needed to be—trying to bootstrap my Qt dev env in a minimal #chroot… -

@brantarik, I'm really being (slightly) deliberately stupid here, esp re: the `how come Qt needs GTK+!?' thing. I remember the #badolddays when GTK+ and Qt didn't co-exist well at all--and then it was quite nice when they started being able to use each other's back-end engines. It was surprising to see what *looked* like a refusal of one to run without the other, though. -

Oh, no..., the error is actually “This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" [...] Reinstalling the application may fix this problem”. Somehow I suspect reinstalling is not the answer.... -

Progress: finished install, QT Creator fails after “Warning: QXcbWindow: Unhandled client message: "_GTK_LOAD_ICONTHEMES"”. Wait..., *what*? -

Now... why to people think it makes any sense whatsoever to present the #GPL as a #EULA? What part of "You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program" do these people not understand? That's the text *in the `agreement'* following the "You must accept the terms contained in this agreement before continuing with the installation" header. -

Oh, there we go--apparently the Qt installer needs DBus.... -

Today's all about #convenience, apparently: now I'm brute-forcing my way through discovery of the hundreds of packages I need to install before I can get the `convenient' Qt installer to run without segfaulting. -

Every time someone starts in on the "convenience of not having to carry a real camera", I'm thankful for the #convenience of not having to fuck around and miss shots. One of the _many_ #reasons I carry a #realcamera: I can get it ready and get a shot before the guy with the smartphone has even unlocked his screen. -

Spent an hour trying to take a smartphone selfie for ID badge this morning; gave up, got the shot w/ a real camera in <1 minute.
