I quit Twitter: @samthetechie

I just quit Twitter https://twitter.com/samthetechie at https://ohm2013.org/










My digital privacy is very important to me so after the opening talk from @gmc at the Ohm2013 - Observe Hack Make hacker camp, I just quit Twitter. Many people are doing the same today. So please join us. Also, I am about to leave all social networks apart from Diaspora...Feel free to start a debate and ask me why below.

Today is the day, not tomorrow, not next week. I am here to help you to transition to Diaspora and other stuff. Just ask me any technical questions- I am happy to help.

I am also deleting facebook later so, if you *want* to actually stay in touch with me and invite me to stuff then send me an email and also please add me on Diaspora now: samthetechie@despora.de ‪#‎howto‬ ‪#‎diaspora‬ http://www.wikihow.com/Join-Diaspora

Writing the handbook is a group effort. For collaboration github is used. Although primarily used by programmers, github provides a very comfortable editor for markdown. Just register, clone the handbook repository, edit it and file a pull request (it is really not hard, just try it out).
