Currently playing about with the timeline, I can't see any easy way to choose which list sees your past posts, unless you want to manually go through every single one and change it.

I've had this for a couple of weeks (weirdly). You never get used to it and you always feel like you're missing something. Even more annoying is the little status updates in the top right, above the sidebar showing everyone of your friends

I second this, you can install straight from an installer and get a Git command line, Git GUI and a plugin for VS. It really is almost a one click process.

I suspect the roaming charges at the peak of Mt. Everest are far more profitable than in a city.

I'm using f.lux right now. I'm pretty sure I first heard of it on HN, not sure why the URL hasn't been posted before though.
