I find that music helps keep me focused on the task at hand. I've got different playlists setup for my different developing moods. ie. learning, coding, designing, administrative, etc. That along with actuall closing the IM, Email and IRC c

More specifically it is the review process. You dump your app into a black hole and get very little feedback. They need to have a dialog with the developer and a tighter feedback loop. Submit app, assign reviewer (who will also get priority

Very well said. But please remember that today is VETERANS DAY, the day we honor the Veterans. Memorial Day is the day we honor the dead. I personally know a guy who had half his face blown off in Iraq. He also just spend 10 months looking

A pretty decent reference. Some of it would be easier to read if it was formatted better. ie. all the flags really don't need two lines to explain them.

I've been using it for the last several weeks and at least for me it has been returning much more valuable links than Google. Part of that may be that they aren't big enough to have indexed all the lower quality sites.

The passphrase is the weak point in PGP. I suppose some people treat it like a password, which is the wrong approach. It should be much longer and harder than a normal password. Their analysis does demonstrate how cost-effective it has beco

Nice! I really need to look into Chef. I used to work with their CEO and he has some really good ideas on reliability and maintainability of systems. Don't forget to check out his O'Reilly Radar Blog - http://radar.oreilly.com/jesse/

I like using Google Reader on the iPhone, it works better than any of the dedicated apps I've tried and I don't have to reconfigure a new app with my list of feeds. I also don't think Twitter is ever going to replace RSS feeds. RSS covers i

Ahh, but that statement includes November and December, and since those months have been excluded by Apple (assuming we can believe them) it would be more accurate to say next year, or January or some other statement that excludes the rest

This just reinforces that normal application marketing can't be thrown under the bus. There may be a slight bump for 'being there', but you still need to find your customers and tell them about your app.

For a while you could use rtmpdump and a perl script but then they started encrypting part of the data and it doesn't work anymore. I think some of that came out of their fight with boxee (who voluntarily removed it, but Hulu took other ste

I'd say their biggest mistake is usually not hiring a sysadmin who also has development experience (or developers without sysadmin experience). I've found that my knowledge in both realms has been invaluable in determining how to design the
