If anyone is interested in my particularly strange use case, this seems to work: $ sudo ifconfig en0 alias 192.168.2.210 255.255.255.0 $ sudo ifconfig en0 alias 192.168.2.211 255.255.255.0 $ sudo ifconfig en0 alias 192.168.2.2

Nice. Interesting that you're doing it at the userland level and balancing across IP address and not interfaces. I may find a use for this. (On a network rate limited by IP address, not per physical connection or per MAC address, and a

Was just playing around with the YouTube JavaScript API myself, it's really not that complicated. You can do some pretty cool things with it. Looks like you're using the HTML5 YouTube player too, I haven't tried that. I'm surprised by how r

I wonder if this could be implemented with the existing Apple Magic Mouse? There are programs like BetterTouchTool which allow you to make additional gestures. How hard would it be to add additional click gestures? Of course you still have

Wow. That's great. I may use that from now on. Graphs are much more convenient for answering "when today will it probably rain"? And all the other graphs provide really nice context.

Also, I think you should consider both allowing the space bar and return to complete words. Pressing space between words is much more natural. Not typing spaces is fairly unnatural typing. Alternately, later levels could be short phrases or

Fun. The sudden death feature is interesting. It forces you to both type as fast as you can while making absolutely no mistakes. That's actually probably a very good habit to enforce. Small bug: if you switch to the "daily" tab, the bottom

I once had a metal 18" ruler that fell off the back of a desk, and fell perfectly flush with the wall catching the top two prongs of an outlet. A spark, blackened the ruler and took a small notch out of it.

What J2ME app are you using? I ended up porting (really just copying one Java class) part of Google Authenticator to J2ME. It works, but isn't great. What're you using?

When implementing submenus please let me move my cursor somewhat down before moving right. With this implementation you must move your cursor almost perfectly to the right into the submenu. Mac OS notably lets you move diagonally as long as

I hadn't read the Unix papers, but I just tracked down Volume 57 of the Bell System Technical Journal online. I thought I'd share the link for anyone else interested: http://www.alcatel-lucent.com/bstj/vol57-1978/bstj-vol57-iss... Now I j

The "DigitalColor Meter" program with the developer tools actually used to include hex values. I actually hadn't noticed the hex values are gone, so thanks lancashire for making me notice. I may need this app now.
