    Facebook-skype-fail

    At the top of my Facebook newsfeed today, I saw the picture above. It
    said that three of my friends including my partner had used the Skype
    friend finder to find friends. I thought "that's a bit odd, she never
    uses skype" so I asked and of course she had never used the skype friend finder on facebook.

    So Facebook, naughty naughty - that'll be false advertising.

    and shops at Sainsburys, reads the Guardian, made/wanted to make a
    lime yoghurt cake, bought beaded pearl earnings from Monsoon on the
    9th of August with £20 cash and uses Savlon healing gel:

    please stop using our recycling bin, there are plenty of empty ones
    which you can use.

    Best wishes,

    I've been scratching my head for a little while trying to figure out
    why I kept getting a

    "ssh://me@myrepo.blah/root/project does not appear to be a git repository"

    on a Transport Error (Cannot List the available branches) box when
    attempting to run the Clone Git Repository command. This was despite
    pasting the sourceforge git repo line directly. Turns out the parser
    in today's version of eGit/Eclipse parses the URL and keeps the
    forward slash ahead of "/root" and passes it on to the server as the
    root of the filesystem.

    Removing the leading forward slash seems to fix everything.
