Crushing Google Chrome with my XML data viewer. ±30MB per-sec memory deltas!
| @dimmer Oracle's Hyperion is an example of a program so complicated that nobody knows how it works or what problem it was supposed to solve… ... |
|
| @dimmer After all day hearing about the Doom Storm about to hit CT, it was nice to actually get noticeably loud rain. |
|
| It feels wrong to take out display:inline-block styles just for IE but not as wrong as finding that YAHOO.util.Dom.batch choked on IE7 |
|
| Listening to what can finally, properly be described as a tropical storm hitting New Haven… |
|
| On the same hardware, Safari 3 and Firefox 3 will load 40MB XML in a second. IE7 takes minutes of 40K pagefault/sec… |
|
| Being the dorky guy walking around the farmer's market with an xkcd shirt. Someone has to do it… |
|
| Enjoying the sweet smell of Oracle |
|
| WTFing the way Excel considers a number to be a "formula error". |
|
| Mulling whether a formal dress code is sufficiently unprofessional to warrant finding a different job |

|
| Using a bug tracker with three choices for priority: important, urgent and emergency. Since when did starbucks design helpdesk tools? |
|
| @schwa impressive - I last about 5 minutes with each BB release before wanting tidy, validators, terminal/build/test tools or current syntax |
|
| @schwa The main thing is extension: the TM community is a lot more open; bb left me feeling trapped by the vendor for fixed which took years |
|
| @schwa BBEdit might be good for app devs. For web and ruby/python/etc it was sub-vim; I bailed to TM after 2 fee upgrades with little new |
|
| Surprised to see how badly the chimps at Microsoft broke Excel 2007 as a spreadsheet. Freakin GeoCalc could update col/row refs when pasting |
|
| Safari handled a 39MB XML file better than I had any right to expect… |
