Well thought out; but by "evangelize" I just meant to consider those people visiting your site who don't know what your Bingo Cards are, and to sell the concept of Bingo Cards, not just your product ( sell in the sense of explaining the be

I've know about your Bingo Card Creator for about a year now, and for the first time I know what it is. Clearly an explanation is not necessary for your market (which I assume is the US); to expand internationally, evangelizing for the teac

I went to the trouble of finding the offending js a while back, but some aspect of its URL must have changed (server? directory? depth? name?), because the filter stopped working. So now I nuke everything; the loss of js hasn't harmed the t

Cute idea, vim script is... unintuitive, and reminiscent of bash. But, similar to Javascript in a browser, half the battle is knowing the environment (ie vim's internals, analogous to DOM for js).

Interesting point, but the thing about eyes is that they can look in unpredicted directions, so you need much more data available than just what the eye can process. This wouldn't be true if we didn't have lag (then we could just stream the

"640K is enough for anyone" (misquote). When there's an excess of computing power of some kind, it may make possible that was previously inconceivable. And if you're the one to conceive and act on it... An easy one is 3D video (1080p x 2);

4.29 Mbps average, in melbourne, significantly higher than all the other rates (including my ISP, iinet). It bursts up to 8 Mbps. It's probably because I'm very close to the exchange (I checked before I moved). FWIW, it has made no impact o

It's commonsense that motivation comes before action; but in reality, action comes before motivation (where motivation is the feeling of wanting to do it; you can decide to do something whether you feel like it or not). Some argue that th

A great read. One thing troubles me is that "great businesses" that make more money for their owners and raise prices for customers, seem to be less socially useful than the others, such as those in the airplane industry. Here's the arith

The fastest coding is no coding. Some pre-programming thoughts: Problems are easier to fix the earlier you find them. Try to define the problem (get it clear in your head); try to define the solution. A minimal product can help ( does it so

I believe Visual Basic was spectacularly successful in part because it did visual layout; and there several tools that do the same thing for webpages. I guess you're saying the difficulty is doing it in a webapp. Maybe with faster machines

The iPhone's 3.1.1 rejection of CS5 is very dangerous to Adobe, because it undermines their platform's relevance. Particularly during a changing of the guard. One response is to ensure their great tools work well for HTML5 (which is probabl
