  1. iPhone bookmark-icon tip for sites without their own: zoom in on some detail, then bookmark; the zoomed view is used for the icon.
  2. This Sony Ericsson W518a Walkman (TM) phone has some of the flakiest firmware I've ever seen. And WALKMAN (TM) branding, how sad!
  3. When I see odd bot activity in my Apache logs I look up the IP. Lately it's often an EC2 machine.
  4. RT @bitprophet: Simultaneously writing Python and Ruby code and overhauling the office's central firewall config. FEAR MY MANY HATS
  5. Links I've collected for autodidactic programmers: http://smarten.us/
  6. #21cTintin: Flight 404
  7. Well, python-twitter made that absurdly easy: http://purportal.com/news/124/
  8. Just updated my LinkedIn "Honors and Awards" to note that I won 750,000 Euros in the SWISS-LOTTO Satellite Software email lottery.
  9. Working on @purportal and looking at my user comments reminds me: a lot of people fall for net scams because they don't read well.
  10. Analysis and visualization of "Choose Your Own Adventure" books: http://samizdat.cc/cyoa/ (via @cemerick. Read the colophon too)
  11. I missed this malware news item from September where we blame Microsoft, Adobe, and Google -- not just MS as usual! http://is.gd/4Tq5q
  12. Thanks to @jezdez I've discovered @hgtip. Good stuff there already, for example this "shortlog" idea: http://is.gd/4TpWf
  13. Hey, look, a new programming language: http://golang.org/
  14. I'm in 398th place on @typewar
  15. Mercurial graph of this week's work starts with default branch, adds a new branch, and now shows the final merge. Nice end to a Friday.
  16. Quite possibly, if I never see another ad that uses the phrase "quite possibly", I will be happy.
  17. Good #wmassdevs meet last night. Topics: SEO badness, web templating, C#, Django, Javascript, virtualization. I donated a book to Panera.
  18. Don't have the Russian edition of my book for tonight's #wmassdevs meeting. I'll bring something from my Obsolete Tech Book Library instead.
  19. @judell's enthusiasm for this (and the podcast interview he did) got me to take a look. http://www.clipperz.com/
  20. Why the average success here isn't 50% I don't know: http://bit.ly/xODMr
