@glennjones it's something you can turn off - but I don't remember how. Doesn't make it better though. – Remy Sharp on twitter

@rem @thebeebs @fordie I have tried to turn the thing off but, opt out form does not seem to work any more. Its screwing up my dev work : ( – Glenn Jones on twitter

@glennjones @rem @thebeebs @fordie It's a DNS based thing so you could try using different DNS servers (I use Googles 8.8.8.8 ones). – Binarytales on twitter
@Binarytales thanks for that, switching to Googles 8.8.8.8 DNS did it, can stop swearing now. cc @rem @thebeebs @fordie

@glennjones could possibly prevent that from happening by using OpenDNS' or Google's nameservers… – Matijs Brinkhuis on twitter

@glennjones @rem oh yeah fabrica would be perfect! Ask @laurencehill – Seb Lee-Delisle on twitter
Remy Sharp
@seb_ly @glennjones @laurencehill I called them, clueless guy said "no in today, not sure when the guy is in…". Wonderful. I'll call back – Remy Sharp on twitter
laurencehill
@rem @seb_ly @glennjones sorry for clueless guy - am in and out a lot :-/ what are you after? – laurencehill on twitter
Remy Sharp
@laurencehill availability of fabrica for Nov-10 @ 10:00-19:30, whether there’s wifi & costs (plus site visit). Email events@leftlogic.com – Remy Sharp on twitter
Remy Sharp
@laurencehill sorry, squeezed a lot in that last tweet. We’re running a very last minute hack event & looking for a venue that fits our need – Remy Sharp on twitter
Remy Sharp
@laurencehill fabrica was then suggested by a number of locals, @seb_ly et al – Remy Sharp on twitter
laurencehill
@rem hi there - unfortunately we have an exhibition running to end Nov so no availability I’m afraid – laurencehill on twitter
Remy Sharp
@laurencehill cheers and cheers for the quick reply – Remy Sharp on twitter

@rem how much space do you need because you might be able to use @welovecreate ? – Andy Parker on twitter

@theavangelist this is what they used in Berlin: http://nodecopter.com/img/venue-big.jpg… we're looking to house 20 or 60 ppl. likely nowhere near as big – Remy Sharp on twitter
Andy Parker
@rem well, I think it may be worth asking them, it's photo studio in NEH so there is plenty of room, it's a blank canvas. – Andy Parker on twitter
Create
@theavangelist @rem @laurencehill If you're looking for venue hire, we can hire all or part of our space. Get in touch if you'd like info – Create on twitter
Remy Sharp
@welovecreate @theavangelist I see the largest room is 90x90 which is too small for the hacking day – Remy Sharp on twitter
Andy Parker
@rem it's a shame you can't hire out the North Laines, that place is bloody massive inside!.. but it is a pub – Andy Parker on twitter

@rem we also have the front unit Space http://welovecreate.com/blog/space-at-create/… you are welcome to come and look around, the installation walls are temporary. – Create on twitter

Looks like node.js for windows is not there yet. Cannot get jsdom onto Azure https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/… works perfectly on http://microformat-node.jit.su/ – Glenn Jones on twitter
Yavor Georgiev
@glennjones jsdom is one of the remaining native modules that don't work on Windows, working on it /cc @gblock – Yavor Georgiev on twitter
Dave Ward
@theyavor @glennjones @gblock Cheerio is a great jsdom alternative on Windows in situations that it does what's needed: http://encosia.com/cheerio-faster-windows-friendly-alternative-jsdom/… – Dave Ward on twitter
@Encosia @gblock Now got microformat-node working on Azure node.js hosting. Moved from JSDom to Cheerio great module https://github.com/MatthewMueller/cheerio…

@glennjones @Encosia great to hear. Been meaning to try out Cheerio. Jsdom does work, you just have to push the pre built binary. – Glenn Block on twitter
