  • Maybe it’s because they don’t want all that wiring to ruin their lives? Until they make wireless hard drives that can be stored under beds and other none obvious places, we’re not getting any more! 8o|

  • In the last article he talks about how they didn’t bother supporting back references because they are hard to implement correctly and quickly, and because most people don’t really know how to use them. re2 sounds pretty bad ass.

  • This probably coincides with their release of re2

    I read the first article cause the analysis was interesting but only glanced through the 2nd and 3rd articles.

    It’s so rare that I see people using backreferencing to it’s fullest degree though, if at all. Most people I know use regexps as just ‘fancy search’.

  • LOL…and then we can have decades long debates about it…just like “The Beach” and “The Beaches”

  • I can clearly remember the first time I saw this video on MuchMusic. A gem.

  • If you published a photo book of soccer practices and dentist appointments, it would go platinum.

  • Thanks guys, for the kind words.

    The MacBook does get a little warm after a long day of work. But it’s manageable we think. We’re a webdesign company, so no heavy video processing or superPI-tests ;)

    Thanks a lot for mentioning our office!

    ..and between you and me, at the end of the day we do have a messy desk sometimes ;)

  • Will a camera get your children to their soccer practices and dentist appointments?

  • They run fine with a closed lid in typical use. It’s when I start transcoding video or running unit tests that the noisy fan cranks up.

  • I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how they keep it from frying. I’m surprised they let them run with the lids closed in the first place, though I can see how it’s convenient.

  • That MacBook tray is clever, until you start taxing the CPU. I often have to open my MacBook to cool it down.

  • There is a long tradition of American politicians shooting folks – from the Vice President Aaron dueling Hamilton-Burr in 1804 to Vice President Dick Cheney’s infamous face shooting 2006

  • Watching is person is a lot different experience than on TV – easier to see the whole ice (big picture) and various parts of the game that aren’t really on TV or don’t show up well (e.g. line changes and other stuff “behind” the play).

  • The feeds thing is really weird. It’s part of how that tumblelog plugin works. You set a cron job that gets the plugin to check your feeds (like pinboard or flickr or whatever), and it makes a post for every new entry it finds. Unfortunately when it does that it doesn’t fill in the url-only title field, so permalinks to articles give up 404s until I go into textpattern and click ‘save’.

    I’d also like the feed link to go to the source link and not the permalink on my site. But I seem to have no control over that, unless I can find some other plugin that might help.

  • I like it. It’s nice and neat, so that might be why. Also, though your feeds were broken before I think they might be working now.

  • I think they are shooting each other.

  • I’m of two minds. One, curation is a valuable thing and assuming the collection of links is good, then the site is good. I think your iPhone blog is better than some of the big money iPhone sites out there. You post good stuff, and not too much stuff. The other sites are stuffed with crap esp. shitty press releases.

    Two, it is valuable to hear an actual human’s point of view, and I think I like the new site even more now that you’re posting some thoughts along with the links.

    The thing is, don’t hold off posting a good link because you think you need to come up with a few paragraphs of commentary and you don’t have the time. I think that’s how a lot of good bloggers got sucked into permanent exile in twitterland.

  • Yeah? So it looks okay? It’s hard to judge this shit yourself.

  • Came across this today (via tumblr). Thought it might be of interest.

  • Hah. No, I am just apparently well loved. Though I have a hunch who wrote the card.

  • Wow, did you get a new job?

    Posted by Ijaaz Ullah (Dear Ram ....)

  • I’m just going to be honest and admit that whenever you take the time to link to one of these, I take it as a sign that I’ve done an okay job. Thank you!
