tumblr really needs to support Facebook’s Open Graph comments. I hope they’re working on it.

Writing good code is only one part of the equation. Awesome implementation is only as good as the product which delivers it. Technologies don’t win, products do. A good product with bad implementation can and often beats a bad product with an good implementation.

tmux

I’m trying out tmux for a while. I’ve been a screen user for a pretty damn long time, but recently, my vim at work is causing screen to hang, and I always can only get out of it by kill -9’ing screen and losing all my state. Kinda makes the whole thing pointless. tmux seems […]

Since we fixed the most glaring font problems on FB for Japanese windows users, I decided I don’t have to force myself to live the pain anymore and switched back to a mac. Since I do this a lot, seemingly, I think I’ve managed to become mostly stateless. All my dotfiles are in svn. And […]

I shouldn’t have to ask this, but what is the fastest way to eject a removable disk in Windows 7? So far I’ve been finding an explorer window, then right clicking on the drive, and picking eject. Why is this three difficult clicks? What’s the one thing that you know is going to happen with […]

Boehner should just change the spelling of his name. I can’t read any article about politics without hearing the adolescent in myself constantly giggle. I wonder if this spelling gives him more name recognition. Someone should try running as “John Penis”, but be like, “oh, it’s pronounced like pay-knee”. I’d probably vote for that if I saw […]
