@xieyihui You rock! Thanks dude.
xieyihui knitr 0.5 has been released to CRAN; see github.com/yihui/knitr/bl… for changes (200 features and bug fixes since first release) #rstats
@ethanwhite Crazy timing. Got your issue response right after that tweet! Will look through your detailed response first...
@ethanwhite I haven't used wxPython but I am trying to get the voodoo figured out this week (and I'll update the github issue once I do).
If you're a grad student who suffers from impostor syndrome, read how our awesome @JacquelynGill overcame hers. contemplativemammoth.wordpress.com/2012/04/25/how…
@carlystrasser Saw that. Ended up embracing my minimalism and not getting one (although I still could).
@jonesor meet my friend @carlystrasser. She'll be visiting Hal's group in Rostock next week.
phylogenomics Future of Academic Publishing Panel discussion tomorrow at Noon - 1pm wp.me/ph9ob-vw
@DavidJohnGibson Isn't the original the same as the rest of the printed copies. Maybe they should have just asked for 11 copies?
It seems like Oikos Jeremy is subtly mocking me with this post. oikosjournal.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/is-…
@jebyrnes @se_hampton You walking through the #nceas hallway is me checking twitter. Several new collabs this year via twitter.
I suppose this is one good way to get people to use stronger passwords.

@recology_ @distribecology @sjGoring @Dropbox Yep. But not many will care?Facebook owns all photos uploaded but that hasn't stopped anyone.
Great interview with Mary Power on the sci am blog.

noamross Just saw a forest ecology paper from the 70s that offered "card punching instructions and a FORTRAN program" for anyone to use. #openscience
@duffy_ma Looks rather elegant for something put together by an ecologist! I'd have done it with pvc, duct tape, and some cable tiles.
@mrgunn @carlystrasser Awesome! Thank you.
@mrgunn Would be nice if G+ didn't make me endure the promoted stuff in my feed.

@JacquelynGill @sjGoring awesome.

@recology_ sent!
@recology_ I know people who do this regularly and they record each person locally, then mix later. Can give you tech details if interested.
@recology_ Not a criticism but wondering why this needs to be video? Seems to me like the interviews are better suited for Podcast form.
@hadleywickham Yup. Can't figure it out so I'm going to ignore it for the time being (several more weeks before it would be ready for CRAN).
@distribecology remember when people didn't have to worry about using hashtags? There's a place where that's a reality. I've been there.
@distribecology We do. PS: The correct hashtag is #ESA2012
@JacquelynGill That would be cool. I'd love to see it (schedule permitting). This would be a first!
@JacquelynGill I've some of talks using Evo. Speaker on one panel, video on another, and attendees were visible too. Try it locally first.
@JacquelynGill An alternate option where I've seen academics share a talk + video with multiple people is this: evo.caltech.edu
@BrunaLab What format is the data currently in?
@hadleywickham If you have any advice/thoughts on this (stackoverflow.com/questions/1023…), I would greatly appreciate it.
@jebyrnes @JacquelynGill @MCrucifix Sounds like a great idea to make this a community effort. We @rOpenSci can help out.
@distribecology @jebyrnes Oh good god. Just realized I have been part of the #rhipster movement long before hash tags were even born.
PaperCritic Another good initiative by @jasonpriem - composing a list of #post-publication #peerreview apps out there docs.google.com/document/d/1HD…
R -> Dropbox is pretty much complete at this time. Works fine if you install ROAuth from github as well. github.com/karthikram/rdr… #rstats
@distribecology We both seem to be doing the same thing. Except my cup of coffee is empty. TIme to fix that.
Our #esa2012 workshop is scheduled! Thur. Aug. 9, 1130-115. Cost? $0. Registration? Not required. bit.ly/J8Hfix #OA #rstats
rOpenSci Our #esa12 workshop is scheduled! Thur. Aug. 9, 1130-115. Cost? $0. Registration? Not required. Room? D140. bit.ly/J8Hfix #OA #rstats
@rOpenSci bummer. Should we contact someone?
@carlystrasser @rOpenSci Ooh. Haven't seen the workshops yet. Do I have to register first to see the list?
@ucfagls @JacquelynGill That's what I did! But you need the luxury of time to do it. Steep learning curve, incredible payoff.
@JacquelynGill @duffy_ma wow! I scan the ecolog digest and thought it was a fairly harmless thread. Just now reading what it devolved into.
@JacquelynGill *Exactly* what I did. For my last chapter I was using R and SAS (just to be safe). Took off the training wheels soon after.
@JacquelynGill Totally understand. Thesis deadline first. Messing around with cool things in R later.
:)
@JacquelynGill phew. Do the figures in R! You can always recreate them anytime.
@JacquelynGill You lose some work?
@jaimedash Thanks! I'll check it out.
@duffy_ma This one!

All our GSOC interns for @rOpenSci seem to have their applications in. Fingers crossed.
Looking over some R code I wrote two years ago, and good god I'm embarrassed but also impressed at my progress.
