schestowitzhttp://twitter.com/FOSSpatents/statuses/59523124697374720 LOLApr 17 09:27
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @schestowitz cc: @akshatj_96 Who will "fork" a simple if...else construct? Show us one reasonably sophisticated piece of Free code you wroteApr 17 09:27
schestowitzHe intentionally goes away from the big projects: http://twitter.com/FOSSpatents/statuses/59519999332724736Apr 17 09:28
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @akshatj_96 cc: @verofakto Look at this hugely complex specimen of Free Software: http://schestowitz.com/Data/timezone.jsApr 17 09:28
TechrightsBot-scNot a web page! Aborting application/javascript typeApr 17 09:28

TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @verofakto Seen #boycottboy's latest lunacy? He thinks journalists need his help. But they do identify non-personal email when they see it.Apr 17 09:28
schestowitzHe's getting angryApr 17 09:29

TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @akshatj_96 cc: @verofakto I'm sure. I doubt #boycottboy will answer my question. Guess he's never written anything reasonably sophisticatedApr 17 09:29
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @akshatj_96 cc: @verofakto Miguel de Icaza's guess is #boycottboy's programming credentials boil down to using word processor, booting LinuxApr 17 09:29
schestowitzhttp://twitter.com/FOSSpatents/statuses/59503786372235265Apr 17 09:31
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @verofakto He also fails to see how often I get asked. On Google's Nortel bid I didn't do even one proactive email but top-tier media asked.Apr 17 09:31
schestowitzHe just concentrates his efforts on defaming TR nowApr 17 09:31
schestowitzJust like he did GLApr 17 09:31
schestowitzAll his morning tweets are about itApr 17 09:31
schestowitzInciting Jack. http://twitter.com/FOSSpatents/statuses/59505955683049472 http://twitter.com/FOSSpatents/statuses/59506200420683777Apr 17 09:32
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @jackschofield I can't take his "Microsoft XXX" thing seriously. He applied it to so many people including TheReg's Gavin Clarke...Apr 17 09:32
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @jackschofield Also, he argued on Twitter that the European Commission is in Microsoft's pocket. He sees Microsoft in everything.Apr 17 09:32

TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @akshatj_96 cc: @verofakto The problem is I couldn't find anything substantially more sophisticated on his website. It's all at that level.Apr 17 09:33
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @akshatj_96 cc: @verofakto I saw your question. That was a good one. And to the thing he pointed you to he may not have contributed much :-)Apr 17 09:33
schestowitzHe's not even debating newsApr 17 09:33
schestowitzJust peopleApr 17 09:33
schestowitzYes, 10/10, all about Techrights today http://twitter.com/FOSSpatents/statuses/59526773225951232 http://twitter.com/FOSSpatents/statuses/59527199035891712Apr 17 09:33

schestowitzI guess he was seriously when he said something like, now we can just target TR (cause Groklaw is gone)Apr 17 09:34
schestowitzFunny thing is thisApr 17 09:36
schestowitzI write far more innovative programs than any of themApr 17 09:37
schestowitzMany FOSS devs just write yet another IRC client/mail client/browser/etcApr 17 09:37
schestowitzI write stuff that was never written before to experiment with paradigms and concepts, making new methods available. He could not have missed those projects in these pages, he is being disingenuous Apr 17 09:38
schestowitz[09:33] [Notice] -TRIdentica to #techrights- [openbytes/@openbytes] Now, as well as being an Openbytes reader and regular TechBytes listener - I wonder, does Gary follow me on identi.ca and Twitter? Lets see!Apr 17 09:38

schestowitz(10:53:06)  m: can you give me a hand with gitosis and redmineApr 17 11:00
schestowitz(10:53:46) Dr. Roy Schestowitz: what are these?Apr 17 11:00
schestowitz(10:54:32)  m: redmine is a project management tracking system, and gitosis is a git-like system intended for ubuntuApr 17 11:00
schestowitz(10:55:33) Dr. Roy Schestowitz: I thought it was git-relatedApr 17 11:00
schestowitz(10:55:38) Dr. Roy Schestowitz: I never used them thoughApr 17 11:00
schestowitz(10:56:19)  m: yeah, well I got gitlite working somewhat, but it does not yet have a stable plugin for redmineApr 17 11:00
schestowitzWahttp://twitter.com/jackschofield/statuses/59606404226486272 what nonsense. The mobbyists are happy to spread lies about people whom they disagree with but yell when someone calls them a "liar", saying that it's a lie to call them liars when they lie. Apr 17 15:33
TechrightsBot-sc@jackschofield: @ender2070 You called me a liar (which I am not) and maligned my integrity. But it's also an accurate description of how #techrights works.Apr 17 15:33

TechrightsBot-sc@Bradley M. Kuhn (bkuhn)'s status on Saturday, 16-Apr-11 23:25:10 UTC - Identi.ca: @webmink, only b/c ppl like #Shuttleworth prey on conflating things. Simply: !FSF ©AAs make binding community promises;for-profit ones don'tApr 17 17:26
TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @ender2070 cc: @verofakto Reasonable people can easily see that my positions are distinct from those of Microsoft or any other company.Apr 17 17:26

TechrightsBot-sc@FOSSpatents: @schestowitz I'm still waiting for a link to Free Software you've written. The stuff on your homepage underwhelmed 14-year-old @akshatj_96Apr 17 17:28
