I am the JDW.

@jennyeccs I like dry roasted nuts as much as the next person, but you can’t have any of mine. Perhaps @jdwtweet can help.

@EFF The Australian gov’t must quickly pass bill adopting the laws of Physics or everything could wind up upside down. OH MY GOD IT’S TOO LATE!

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

@kellbot The arrow keys are no good. All that extra hand movement? Exhausting! (Disclosure: I came by my hjkl skills honestly: Rogue.)

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

There are few things I enjoy more than getting random reminders that @nfsn members are among the smartest, most creative minds out there.

.@johnjcook @trevortimm How is the headline of that article not “Facebook’s one weird trick for burying clickbait will SHOCK you!” ?

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

Prediction: Companies forcing existing users to buy new cloud subscriptions to get fixes will give “Old man yells at cloud!” meme new life.

@mikewalker0001 @jdwthewatchman @camrakl Heh, Google Maps says it’s a 6 1/2 hour flight; won’t make it in time. Please drink it for me!

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

@mikewalker0001 @camrakl I of course have no idea. But “money” is usually a good guess where corporations are involved.

Being mistaken for a British pub never gets old! But I’ll throw back a pint for your cause all the same. https://t.co/0PeXKX348v

Please sign and RT to ask @JDW not to sell our current Pub of The Year, The Regent, Walton

@developer_ace Nope, it’s mainly ICANN fees ($185k per gTLD, higher if contested) and other financial requirements & fees they impose.

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

@developer_ace @nfsn It’s not simple, but it’s not rocket science. The main obstacle is the cost to get one started, around $500k.

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

Also, their support offerings are so complex they’re “afraid” of “a great deal of misinterpretation” if they write them down.

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

Just had @MariaDB decline to give me a quote for @nfsn. They don’t deal with “staff” & say I’m too busy & hard to reach to be in management.

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

@deedubze On https://t.co/HvorDRbIig it’s at the top “Username.”

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

@deedubze You can change it, but not to @jdw.

I just bought: Newegg's Fight Patent Trolls T-Shirt via @newegg https://t.co/NW81tUYaYG

.@kufat @nfsn Indeed. In my non-humble opinion, most new gTLDs are missing out by badly overpricing. The world needs more nearly free TLDs.

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

@jmoneyrocks21 Yes, that's exactly how it works. Oh, hang on, no it isn't.

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

Running an open SMTP relay is grounds for being kicked off the net these days. Why isn't this also true for attack-multiplying NTP installs?

[Jeff Wheelhouse @jdw]

In a rare field trip outside of the @nfsn bunker, enjoyed a great show from @joshrthompson and @craigyferg tonight.
