Upgraded to R 2.15 today and it's been a bear to rebuild so many packages. If you haven't yet upgraded you should wait a few days.
If any #rstats folks want to test out a new R package to interface with Dropbox, look here: github.com/karthikram/rdr…
bug reports appreciated.
@hadleywickham Thanks for all the comments, I'll update the slides shortly.

As someone wrting a ms entirely in markdown, I'm excited to see @cboettig's efforts which allow one to skip pandoc.

rOpenSci We're looking for students for @gsoc 2012 to work on rOpenSci related projects. See here: bit.ly/yJDIsW #OA #rstats
@jebyrnes thank you.
FakeElsevier Our revenues are ~$10,000/paper. J. Machine Learning Research does it for $10/ppr. I know a mob front when I see one. hvrd.me/y0zZH6
Absolutely love the idea of using live plots with the d3 framework. Could be great for talks/teaching.

@arielwaldman Event is sold out
:(
@LizNeeley @jranganathan @jebyrnes @carlystrasser ah. You are so up to speed on these things that I assumed you were in attendence.
@nceas Is the #treas2012 site meant to be closed off to the public? I'd love to see the list of speakers etc. etc.

@jebyrnes @LizNeeley Hey, can one of you at #treas2012 storfiy the tweets if possible. Does it end today or is there one more day?
I just updated Rtools for Sublime Text. Once approved into package control, it will become a 1 click install. is.gd/OwBgUG
kaythaney Fun fact. Charles Darwin left £50 in his will to create a complete list of *all* plant species (still a work in progress). #dsspeaker #kew
@ocean_zen I noticed your follow request at my personal account @KarthikRam. This is my office science/ecology one. Follow this one!
@colindonihue I noticed your follow request at my personal twitter account (@KarthikRam). This is my science/ecology one. Follow this one!
@vitoaguiar I noticed your follow request @KarthikRam but that is my locked personal account and this is the science one. Follow me here!
FYI: MT @noamross: MultiMarkdown and Pandoc md extensions both support bibtex. MMD only -> LaTeX, Pandoc for any output form.
@noamross Awesome, thanks for the heads up!
Anyone know a way to use bibtex with markdown?
Deck.js usage:
m to see slide sorter.
Press g, then slide #, and enter to go to a slide.
Last night I gave an intro to R talk using Deck.js and it worked out great (I think). Almost ready to give up Keynote.

@researchremix @ReaderMeter @recology_ Makes sense. It's nice that bugs can be directed to one or more individuals.
@ReaderMeter @researchremix @recology_ you might be interested in a upcoming github for writing. scigit.com
@researchremix @recology_ @jasonpriem nice!
@mrgunn Sorry, didn't mean to be harsh on Mendeley itself (more than manual metadata entry sucks). Longer response in email.
@carlystrasser @megangarber Somewhat sad that I was expecting to see Amazon HQ in Seattle (or something like that). This is way better.
@mrgunn which is my biggest woe with Mendeley (which still struggles with newer ones). Entering metadata sucks.
@jasonpriem Someone should fund the infrastructure for an academic github. Something like Arxiv but academic with no storage limits.
@researchremix What if I start calling you a number nerd?
;)
rOpenSci Just pushed 1st version of rgbif (API wrapper to @GBIF), binaries up soon. cc: @cboettig @_inundata
@jasonpriem there are also Calepin and Scriptogram among others that do similar things.
@JacquelynGill congrats! Nicely done.
@ethanwhite Thanks Ethan!
Can someone tell me what the top 5 ecology journals are ranked in terms of (current) impact factor?
thanks very much.

Looks neat. “@github: We rolled out some new stuff for OAuth Apps. github.com/blog/1077-oaut…” cc/@cboettig @recology_
@arielwaldman You're not missing much. It's raining cats and dogs over here.
Like the idea of using ↬ for a hat-tip and ᔥ for via. ᔥ curatorscode.org
@marciovm what is a qs meetup?
@researchremix @cboettig I have a few solutions to that. Too long for twitter…will email.
@researchremix @cboettig Looks nice! I have not incorporated md with knitr but I should since tex is laborious.
Want reproducible science? Make your software open too.

Told a bunch of sciency people about all the cool things you can do with git. (with link)

@mrgunn PS: Was expecting to run into you at useR last night.
@mrgunn Yeah, sorry, don't have a better solution. But I use this to check out parking limits beforehand.
@mrgunn if you have a neighborhood in mind, do a virtual walk through and look for street cleaning signs or lack thereof.
@jebyrnes But lately I just send compiled PDFs and ask them to annotate using Acrobat tools if they don't want the raw source.
@jebyrnes Sadly Word docs and I send them sweaved R code so they can copy/paste and run to verify.
@carlystrasser That's what people said about R in 2000s. Now everyone is Rrrrring. Sometimes you need to take away the training wheels.
@jebyrnes Also, there is this: trackchanges.sourceforge.net #deathtomicrosoftword
@carlystrasser @jebyrnes I suppose the novelty is that it works with word docs. meh.
@carlystrasser @jebyrnes Couldn't people just do that *right now*? If you have a purdy diff tool like @kaleidoscopeapp, you'd be set.
@hadleywickham @cboettig Amen. I think this will happen with the new gen of academics. @ethanwhite teaches one such course.
