I’m very pleased to share version 2.5 of Social with you. Brought to you by our good friends at MailChimp (see their blog post), Social is a…
Fellow Colorado web geeks, I made you a t-shirt. The code that comprises the white stripe is a full, working HTML page with canvas code that draws…
It’s been very interesting to me to see how some folks are re-evaluating their work/life balance in the wake of reading Isaacson’s Steve…
It’s amazing how cold medicine that is to be taken every 4 hours is effective for exactly 3 hours and 30 minutes. #30minutesofsniffles
.@rands Early on the impulse is to build as much as possible. Over time you understand the limits of what can be maintained.
@WookieeBoy When I get text messages for things that aren’t urgent, I find it annoying. I realize this is a “get off of my lawn” situation.
Last weekend we had my daughter’s three year photo shoot (see photos). Today we got the proof sheet and I showed them to her on the iPad. Pretty cool to watch her experiment with the proof website: tap to enlarge, swipe, press the X to close, etc. Her: I want to see the photo with…
Guys, GUYS! Just got a call from an Allstate recruiter regarding a “business opportunity in my area”… a BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY!!
Using consistent variable names sure makes code refactoring easier.
@williammanning I really hope I can get it on iTunes or Amazon, but I’ll suck it up and get HBO if I have to.
@dlpasco I just had the same experience; feels odd, awesome, and a little scary (did I think of all the edge cases, etc.?).
All features are “development complete” for the next version of Social. I will sleep well (though not long) tonight. #wordpress
The daily choice of which things I’m going to fall (further) behind on is wearing on me. I need a pause button for the rest of you.
I spent some time looking into this and have determined that today is only Tuesday. Can’t be right, going back to re-check…
When I’m actively #hiring or acting as lead dev on a project, I fall behind. When I’m doing both at once, I fall *way* behind.
I intended for this to be background noise while I got some stuff done this afternoon. About 35 minutes later I’m now getting to said “stuff”. (thanks Shawn)
I see three reasons for the Instagram acquisition:
1. Talent
2. Idea
3. Product
If 1 or 2 are the primary reason, the product dies.
The right balance is between making only the changes necessary while making enough changes to keep things elegant.
Pro tip: If you’re using a string that can be localized as a key in your “next step” code block, you’re doing it wrong.
I had a handful of the songs but somehow I didn’t have the entire Lyle Lovett “The Road To Ensenada” album. Situation rectified.
I miss Dixon’s, but I’m three for three (dinner, lunch, happy hour) with good experiences at Lucky Pie. (View on Forkly)
Side effect of linking to your own blog posts: you get a glimpse (via pingbacks) of how many places are re-posting your content.
I <3 my backups.
It takes a little longer to do things right.
Part of why I got the white iPad 3 is so it would look new and different.
I can definitely feel the weight difference between the iPad 3 and the iPad 2. Feels more like an iPad 1 when lifting it by an edge.
QuickCursor (with BBEdit) is incredibly useful/powerful. I should be using it more. http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/quickcursor
So thankful for the root canal I got this morning. Yes, you heard that right. Once the nerve is out, no more pain!
