   > Many websites that are specifically optimized for some browsers don't work on Opera While that sounds plausible enough, I've not encountered a website that didn't work in Opera for a long, long time.

   Being a web dev, I tend to keep a collection of browsers open all the time - Chrome for email, twitter, calendar, bug tracker etc. Firefox for development (Firebug FTW). Midori for state-less browsing (it empties caches and data when restar

   I moved a couple of thing that were tools on my own site onto their own domains. Both just fun projects, but still, they made it out of my brain and into the world :) http://www.mathaversaries.com/ http://www.readability-score.com/

   I use them a fair bit. Enough that I released a set of them on my site ( http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/ ) and then made a site for other people to build them ( http://www.cheatography.com/ ). :) Certainly not a sign of ineptitu

   Not quite yet, but early days for my projects: http://www.addedbytes.com/projects/ I'm working hard on the top three, and aiming to start making some real money out of them by the end of summer.

   Well, that's fine for people in the US. But for everyone else (i.e., the vast majority) for whom Hulu, netflix, etc are not available, the legal onlines alternatives are for the most part crap or missing the content you want.

    Glad you like it! Since launching it I've become almost obsessed with ideas for cheat sheets, and one thing I want to add in is a "cheat sheet zeitgeist" - a page which lists requests, ordered by their recent popularity. I'm working on a fe

    Hi ishi. Glad to hear you like the idea :) Thanks for letting me know about the filename issue. I'd not spotted that. I've changed the filename to something more useful!

    I don't think so, no. Why should a person or company be financially punished for doing nothing wrong? Your suggestion means that if you are sued and pay for a decent lawyer to defend you, but your opponent pays someone dirt cheap (or no-win

    The risk is that it's not just the domain name at stake. A lost court case can result in an order to pay the opposition's costs. For a large legal team, that can be expensive.

    I moved it to a new domain, as scq was kind enough to also comment. It's at http://www.addedbytes.com now.

    I have some experience of a similar situation, having at one point run a web dev blog at ilovejackdaniels.com, before the JD legal team contacted me ... and I'm on a new domain now. The problem, as explained to me by a lawyer (I am not a la

    I made something similar a while ago ( http://www.addedbytes.com/blog/mathematical-anniversaries/ ). I never did work out why these things aren't more popular. Might I suggest adding ical?

    I did know that, but wasn't sure the "p" stood for "perl". The manual page for preg_match leads with "preg_match — Perform a regular expression match", so I went with that.

    I moved the site to Linode and set my swap incorrectly, so as soon as the memory ran out it fell over. Oops.

    Strangely enough, I don't drink JD any more. I prefer Bulleit and Jura these days. And I do miss having a domain that memorable.
