  1. @Fourmilab you might like this, 23 years after you wrote Autosketch 2.0, we are still heavily relying on it. Thanks! battlehorse.net/page/2012/04/2…
  2. I spent some time to be able to run 1989 software on modern day hardware (Autosketch 2.0 for DOS). Fun experience. battlehorse.net/page/2012/04/2…
  3. Countryside instagr.am/p/JE5DRbGQDF/
  4. Nice intro article on screen densities, device-independent-pixels and a glimpse on the world of CSS sizing for mobile. alistapart.com/articles/a-pix…
  5. Went from Lloyds to @MoreThan for contents insurance and halved the premium. Woah. Either I was a fool before or I'm missing something now.
  6. #morethan sysadmins, go fix your configs. Your morethan.com naked domain points to a work-in-progress page, unlike the full www.morethan.com
  7. Adsense and Google Charts? A new post in the Ads Developer blog on how to chart AdSense data in 30 lines of javascript. goo.gl/o66j3
  8. Hummus in Jerusalem, check.
  9. A quick tutorial I wrote about a client-side javascript solution to saving #google #charts as static images battlehorse.net/page/topics/ch…
  10. Wrote a jQuery plugin that tries improving box selections behavior over plain jQuery UI selectable: battlehorse.github.com/jquery-xselect… @jqueryui Comments?
  11. @nickmote Congratulations!
  12. New visual styles for #google #charts "Controls and Dashboards API" : battlehorse.github.com/google-charts-… . Give them a try and let me know what you think.
  13. The Product Manager interview at Google. My take on how best to prepare for it: battlehorse.net/page/2011/10/2…
  14. Blogger dynamic views are out (youtube.com/watch?v=lpDQF2…). If you are looking for similar flipcard visualizations look at www.rhizospherejs.com .
  15. When you end up the day having found a meaningful use for the Visitor pattern, you know it was a good coding day.
  16. @bcurdy A long way indeed. But I'm no hurry (it'll be done when it'll be done) and we are anyway really close!
  17. You might want to have a look at Rhizosphere if you are familiar with @desandro isotope project, lots of similarities. code.google.com/p/rhizosphere
