How to use GTalk to update Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook Status 12 Jan 2009

Use ping.fm, that’s how. It took me a while to figure it out, especially since some of these services already talk to each other, like Twitter to Facebook. Now I can do GTalk updates ping.fm, which in turn updates Twitter and LinkedIn. Twitter updates Facebook. Maybe at some point I will turn off Twitter to Facebook and let ping.fm directly updates Facebook.

The charity where I am the trustee is accepting Qurbani to Indonesia.
The process is fully online, with all major credit and debit cards accepted.
Qurbani should be performed by all Muslims with means. So even if you are not going to offer it with PortalInfaq UK, just do it with whoever you are comfortable with.

Check the header image on Sita’s musings. Cool, innit? Of course I would say so since two of the kids there are mine 
The picture was taken during a holiday in Bali (highly recommended place to visit, by the way). We were waiting to board the Discovery submarine (yes, it’s a real submarine — small and electric, but real!).

Sabhnani defense: The Indonesian is mentally ill and someone else burned her 11 Jul 2007

Defense attorneys for a Muttontown couple accused of enslaving two Indonesian women they hired as housekeepers filed a court brief late yesterday arguing that one of the women, who officials said had been tortured, had most likely inflicted the wounds on herself.
‘Slave’ suspects: Woman hurt self – Newsday.com
So here we have some explanation, by the defense, of how “Jane Doe 1″ (one of the Indonesian woman allegedly enslaved and tortured by the defendants) got her injuries:
- She hurt herself,
- And there’s another person, from Jakarta (that’s the capital city of Indonesia), which we didn’t know about until now.
All allegations are denied by the defendants, and the pre-trial hearings continue.

Bail denied for Sabhnani couple, jailed until trial 12 Jun 2007

Courtesy of PACER, I have learned that the Sabhnani couple, charged with several counts of federal felony statutes, has been denied bail. The judge said that they were a significant flight risk, therefore various proposals for house arrest were rejected (the prosecution has always maintained that no bail should be given). You can read in full the Sabhnani Detention Order.
I must admit I am very impressed by the swift and firm US justice system. Of course we all hear how good law and order in the US, but to see it in action (and not just through TV shows ) is something else.
No bail as yet and even more charges for Sabhnani couple 8 Jun 2007

The affluent Muttontown couple accused of enslaving two Indonesian women will have to wait at least until Monday to determine whether a federal judge will release them on bail to home detention.

I keep following with interest this case, and being curious how much I can get access to details, I tried to see whether you can see court documents on the web.
Enter PACER. You have to pay if you access scanned documents, but they won’t start charging until you reach US$10, and at 8 cents a page, that will be quite a lot of pages…
