Excellent question. I am due a release based on @foaas 1.0 so maybe next year? #useR2016 #user2017
@eddelbuettel forgot to ask: when can we expect the rfoaas talk at useR?

<sad face> After Google's Code Search, the second casualty. Once again @Debian (and @zacchiro) to the rescue.
OpenHub code search has been discontinued... code.openhub.net/ luckily Debian has sources.debian.net ;-)

Slides from the talk are now up--had to get home to kick the router. Sorry about the outage, thanks for having me!

Check @eddelbuettel website, he has lots of talks up, not sure if these will go up as well.

suppressMessages() does the same (+ more) while shorter. Startup messages can be useful, have them in some packages.

Thanks for having me, and especially to Maia (and @CapeRUser) for organizing and a cold one or two afterwards.
@eddelbuettel @CapeRUser thanks for the fun intro to #Rcpp :-) enjoy the rest of your holiday in Cape Town! #rstats

Besides the admirable #WTFPL use 'in the wild', it makes @paultag and co look good!

I have been very happy (in Chicago) with one of these (via a season-ending sale): breezerbikes.com/bikes/detai…
I'm looking for a pretty nice commuter bike -- a hybrid, maybe even a comfort bike -- for riding all seasons. Any recommendations?
