From the "Gosh, You Wanted Me to Quote You?" Department... July 25, 2008

This comment deserves response: First of all, if you're quoting my post, blocking out my name, and attacking me behind my back by calling me "our intrepid troll", you could have shown the decency of linking back to my original post. Here it is, for those interested in the real discussion:... [<a href="http://blogs.tedneward.com/2008/07/25/From+The+QuotGosh+You+Wanted+Me+To+Quote+Youquot+Department.aspx">Read More</a>]

Roller Mobile with iUI July 25, 2008

Roller Mobile Originally uploaded by snoopdave After spending a couple of hours with iUI this week, I've put together the beginnings of an iPhone style interface to Roller. So far, I've been able to do everything I need to do by making a couple of changes in Roller's struts.xml and adding two new JSP pages -- no...

Noteworthy Nonsense - July 25, 2008 July 25, 2008

Mixins, meet Groovy. Groovy, say “Hello” to Mixins. I kindly request that all job postings henceforth forgo the usual mumbo jumbo, replacing it instead with Paul Graham’s one metric to rule them all: the income-to-boringness ratio. Snippets and scripts deserve first-class version control too. If you... [<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jasonrudolph/~3/345526812/">Read More</a>]

What You Can Learn from the Facebook Redesign July 25, 2008

I've been using the redesigned Facebook profile and homepage for the past few days and thought it would be useful to write up my impressions on the changes. Facebook is now the the world's most popular social networking site and one of the ways they've gotten there is by being very focused on listening to their...

The Productive Programmer July 24, 2008

I have been waiting for this book since I saw my friend Neal Ford give a talk on being a Productive Programmer. Now, I have it in my hands. Many of us strive to be a craftsman?we don't simply want to get by; we want to do what we do at its best. For most people I interact...

Some Thoughts on Amazon S3's Recent Outage July 24, 2008

Yesterday Amazon's S3 service had an outage that lasted about six hours. Unsurprisingly this has led to a bunch of wailing and gnashing of teeth from the very same pundits that were hyping the service a year ago. The first person to proclaim the sky is falling is Richard MacManus in his More Amazon S3 Downtime: How...

Quick Sleep July 23, 2008

Here's a quickie, but I showed this to Venkat, and it made his day, so chances are good that others don't know about this handy keyboard shortcut. I used to always rely on my PowerBook to go to sleep successfully when I close the lid. But every once in a blue moon, something doesn't work right, and I open my laptop bag...

Rich Web Experience 2008 x 2 July 23, 2008

Last year, one of the most refreshing conferences where I spoke was the Rich Web Experience. Too often, conferences are mono-cultures, and mono-cultures are generally boring. RWE is fundamentally different because it's what I call a condiment conference. The focus is on how to make applications better, not how to make...

Jose Reyes on pace for 85

Posted on July 24, 2007 by davidbloom

Reyes becomes better and better
Take those 85 walks. Since baseball began to integrate in 1947, a grand total of six shortstops age 25 or younger have drawn 80 or more walks in a season. Two of them, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, you may have heard of. The other four are an odd bunch
Its not [...]
