Apparently it is a trend with FP guys :-) HAppS (a Haskell framework) has also advocated this: "HAppS does not come with a server-side templating system. We prefer the pattern of developing static web pages and using AJAX to populate them w

Also, you can wait for a notebook with a mobile version of Core i7, when Intel finally catches up with everything AMD has to offer (eg integrated memory controller). Q2 next year?

My thoughts exactly. For me, a glossy display is really hard to use, functionality is ruined. That's the way my brain is wired, I can't help it. I only hope that notebooks with matte displays don't disappear, and that I can install Linux on

Hehe, so true. Geeks usually place their religion all over licenses, languages, editors, operating systems, methodologies, etc. Some people choose ideologies. There must be an evolutionary explanation for religion somewhere.

Diablo I & II were the last games I played. I stayed away from computer games because I don't need another time-sink. And then I read about Diablo III... The thing is highly addictive. The diablo-receptors in my brain already started fi

Instead of navigating with tabs, you can try this in your .emacs: (iswitchb-mode 1) Very speedy buffer-changing that's hard to beat.

Here's a good explanation of what went wrong: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html "The IPv6 designers made a fundamental conceptual mistake: they designed the IPv6 address space as an alternative to the IPv4 address space, rather than an

Emacs is my editor of choice, very powerful and portable. Its complexity can be frustrating sometimes, a bit of a time-sink. Altough I'm currently using a Mac, I try to resist the temptation to use Textmate. It may be easier to use and exte
