Thank you, alas so little free time RT @gappy3000 What would be awesome: if @eddelbuettel wrote a "High Performance Computing with R" book.
@drewconway It really sucks to be in grad school, doesn't it? RT Point Lobos State Reserve, it doesn't suck http://yfrog.com/h7pmtgoj
@jseidman Yes, I've maintained RODBC in Debian since 2003, yet prefer non-ODBC direct connections; sometimes I even write them.
@jseidman My bad, I thought it was a postgres and R mashup made to scale. If one has to re-invent all the analytics I am less keen.
@jseidman Nice! Isn't there R in there for the analytics? MADlib: an OS library for scalable in-database analytics http://madlib.net/

His powers are waning. Next time he'll only squish a tiny island (@mattyglesias Soviet Union collapsed while I was on vacation years ago.)
@cdibona Can you get Cee-Lo? Would send a nice message to your friends at the competition.
@pchalasani Done! (RT @eddelbuettel Great... it would be nice if the new-package tweet also contains the #rstats hashtag.)
CRANberries now tweets about new CRAN packages at @CRANberriesFeed, a few more details at http://goo.gl/Gmrk3 #rstats
