I guess dash doesn't recognize that being invoked from within screen should trigger interactive mode?

Long "centrist" period has given way to right wing gov of nasty bent. Party due to fractured opposition in multi-party system. I am sad.

I came downstairs to @paridy singing "99 bottles of beer on the wall" to our 2 month old son. #thoughtitwouldbeme #needtolearnmorelullabys

Firefox 10's stricter DOM write() implementation on unbalanced trees broke my web app. For once, IE works. #cold_day_in_hell

Dear tracker: you and your 21G in ~/.cache/tracker can go straight to hell. #fedora #tracker_ui_controls_stop_indexing_disabled_confusing

jhbuild is now building 213 GNOME packages so I can confirm "disabled" dialogue still there and then open bug. YEAH.
