  1. Failing to map URLs with inverse regular expressions and failing to set up port forwarding and dynamic DNS via telnet. Too tired for both.
  2. @jake: I think Twitter just hates you :P
  3. The "Holy Grail" of CSS layouts - two fixed width columns with a liquid centre. Sounds like a chocolate. http://bit.ly/ttuMg
  4. Dear browser vendors: #box {border-radius: 1em; -moz-border-radius: 1em; -webkit-border-radius: 1em; } Why?! Don't even get me started on IE
  5. Motorola Milestone (aka Droid) or Nokia N900? The mobile distro wars: Android vs. Maemo.
  6. Google Closure is an interesting JS library for writing optimised JavaScript in an OOP style http://code.google.com/closure/
  7. The Sun to release advanced news reading device which feels just like a newspaper http://bit.ly/8aUVw8 #satire
  8. Linux-based gadget building blocks, awesome http://www.buglabs.net/
  9. All the people on [cros-discuss] asking when they'll be able to run desktop apps & games on Chrome OS are kind of missing the point...
  10. First #shotofjaq is out http://shotofjaq.org/2009/11/it-begins/ - 10 min Open Source podcasts
  11. I want these guys to do my marketing http://www.epipheostudios.com/portfolio
  12. Got bitten by a rabbit whilst trying to administer antibiotics this morning, kinda like every day in the office at Rabbitsoft :P
  13. New blog post: Google Chrome OS Overview. Technical overview and views on openness http://tola.me.uk/blog/2009/11/20/chrome_os
  14. @lukebarton: New re-tweet puts other users' tweets onto your followers' feeds without you having to actually copy & paste to your own tweet
  15. If speed really is the focus, I'm wondering whether the ChromeOS team considered not using X and using something like DirectFB instead.
  16. Register claims Chrome OS = another monoculture. Understand technical argument for locking down hardware platform, but it's not very "open".
  17. Uh ho, my 3 year MacBook warranty expires today :S
  18. Wondering how to write unit tests for Aspects
  19. Wish I had a device capable of streaming today's Google Chrome OS webcast to my car because I'll be driving for the duration. Timezone fail.
  20. Google giving Chrome OS demos to the press on Thursday, should be interesting http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10400012-2.html
