@maxogden I ordered all Europe mifi for $14/day. Picking up at Heathrow next week.
@JohnFBruno do a per sub inquiry. Novelty is their thing. Otherwise take it to plosone.

Rather profound for a Friday night.
@ethanwhite @wesmckinn hah, I downloaded the book today too! I suspect we’re both enjoying the same discount code. :)
@sjGoring Congrats Simon!

@genetics_blog Any more details on the code? Can I do my own deploy with newly installed packages?

@maxogden dude where are you?

@_NickGolding_ and those are also the only few days I’m back in town so will def buy you beer if you’ve got time.
@_NickGolding_ BART will get you across the bay to Amtrak so you can get to Davis and back.
@_NickGolding_ I’d suggest something near BART, possibly near Union Sq. Airbnb if on a budget.
@_NickGolding_ What dates? and what are you looking to do (stuff in the city, or explore outside)?
Are you in Oxford on the 11th? Want to come hear about @rOpenSci and learn about some of our cool projects?
Tinbergen bldg, D38, 12-2.
@WrightingApril Nope. That’s the way I know too.
@gvwilson Would pay $$$ for that feature. Currently no mac client offers it.
@recology_ Damn Canucks with their health care and no IRS.
@recology_ Dude. That’s an academic office? or did you get a job with the IRS?
@JohnFBruno @ElDon78 He’s been here a while yo.
@mbeisen @drugmonkeyblog @DrisiS Count me in. I’ll even implement that at Cal when those opportunities arise.
In a post apocalyptic world our email auto responders will continue to apologize for our inability to stay on top of communication.
@shancarter hey I would love to hear about your data viz fall course. I’m at Cal and would love to sit in if possible.
@tomjwebb You can set up a simple google doc/form that saves to a spreadsheet.
@nhcooper123 Thanks! We’ll meet another time. Haven’t forgotten a Dublin bootcamp (just not this trip). :)
@Stephen_Curry alas you are right. Just got my new air yesterday and it looks like I can’t lock it. :(
CHPoakland The #BayBridge is closed! pic.twitter.com/VwBrbHYVDj
@nhcooper123 unfortunately I’ll miss the sci tweet up. I get there on the 5th.
@Stephen_Curry yep. Buy a Kensington lock from amazon.
Final trip across the old bay bridge.

@SuseJohnston I did the same a few months ago!

@nhcooper123 I’ll be there at the same time!

@hadleybeeman what brings you to the Bay Area? Something open data related?
@profjsb dude I did not miss your breaking bad references. Get off my case Mr. White. Yo dude.
@kara_woo I tweeted this at some point. I think. Got to check the commit logs.
@hadleybeeman At least for BART it’s almost close. Muni is a whole other ball game.
@tpoi w00t! congrats man!
@GrunerDaniel @cjlortie Indeed. ESA did suffer from extra crappy internet this year though.
@katatrepsis @cjlortie I have my secret ways.
@cjlortie Looking over some tweet data. Intecol tweeted 2x what ESA did this year!
@VickySchneiderG Seems less effective than a single classroom approach.
@_PhilMartin Would love to. Need to get on the ball and email folks.
@timothyclem Hi Tim! Nice to chat with you today. See you around.
@matthewmccull Just met Tim Clem in person. What a cool guy.
@_PhilMartin Teaching a rOpenSci workshop at the zoo department on the 11th.
@robin_n_prince morning!
cjlortie @_inundata super. I love that many ecologists analyze the social ecology of twitter. Or the ecosystem that is us really!
@_PhilMartin Are you back at Oxford? I’m there on the 11th and it would be great to meet in person.
@cjlortie Saw that. Pretty cool. we can also do more interesting stuff. Need to grab alll int and esa soonish.
@Dr_Bik you the one with the Fiji water? If so turn around. Right behind you.
@Dr_Bik I’m sitting in some room with Josh’s voice booming out of the sky.
@Dr_Bik Oh hey, you’re here too! We should meet.
Not a huge fan of MOOCish workshops.

@xieyihui Thanks for the heads up. We’re affected by this. bleh.
Finally getting around to watching Chasing Ice. Stunning footage.
Also incredibly disheartening.
@DLabAtBerkeley ooh I see Jarrod is instructing. Is he on Twitter? Would he mind a pull request to the repo?
@DLabAtBerkeley Thanks!
@DLabAtBerkeley Is there a web page for the bootcamp (w/ schedule) that I could look at?
@shaka_lulu or burning man.
@djhocking glad to help. Let me know if you run into other issues.
@djhocking just download it and copy it to your packages folder.

@ElDon78 Just looking fwd to eating in the city and finding easy parking for my Subaru while everyone’s at Burning Man.
My favorite time of the year in the bay area. Great weather + Parking Man = win.
@ethanwhite Love the new autoresponder! I need to concoct something similar.
@jhamrick Now you just need a mimosa to balance everything out.
@figshare @gawbul @AhmedMoustafa @ctitusbrown @pyOpenSci Another simple way with @rOpenSci’s figshare.
@gawbul @AhmedMoustafa @ctitusbrown @figshare @pyOpenSci So many ways to skin this cat. A quick bash script + figshare API call for eg.

arielwaldman Frequent travelers: what do you do about email auto-responders? Have you done away w/ them and just hope ppl know you’re crap at responding?

@elitabaldridge @polesasunder @github @RBChannell but yes, I love the improvements and your point is spot on.
@elitabaldridge my super smart dog rebased my entire repo so my homework is gone.
@chrismentzel it is nice! Not complaining about that. :)
@elitabaldridge @polesasunder @github @RBChannell couldn’t you already do they without the pretty viewer?
@hadleywickham hells yeah!
@KTInvasion if this is ggplot just ggsave to an eps extension and you’re done.
@KTInvasion he’s on vacation. I can help. Is this from ggplot or something else?
@jessitron can you elaborate on why it doesn’t support reproducibility?
@jessitron R the software or are you referring to something else?
@chrismentzel it has always stored tabular data. Just shows it in a pretty format now. Same file size limits to preview apply as before.
@mbeisen @MotherJones A+++
@fperez_org @profjsb I signed up since I’ve never been to your bootcamp.
@CameronNeylon They couldn’t find your flight, right?
@jessicablois I’ve learned not to get snarky with purchasing people. Slows things down ever more. Currently trying to nudge something along
@portablebrain Yep, absolutely! I think we’re doing a mini #scifoo13 reunion brunch that am before @shaka_lulu takes off.
@portablebrain Staying in London from 7-11 and back for 13-15. 14 is preferable but 13th is ok too.
@Mbussonn @fperez_org I should grab one of those from Fernando sometime.

@ctitusbrown @genetics_blog will likely use a few at some point too.
@cjlortie worst case export to PDF rather than to ppt. Slide show will still work and it’ll look the same.
@recology_ @ethanwhite wow, just wow. PLOS one?
@recology_ wow that sucks. Did they say why?
