Thanks -- good recommendation. Tomato looks good. I didn't know the Apple AirPort was a "standard" wireless router. Cool. Now bidding on one... :-) http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=226933642

Yeah, fair call -- if I knew the router would be 100% reliable with the built-in software, great. I'll look into the WRT-150N. However, I'm looking into OpenWrt/etc because I've had such a bad run with the build-in firmware on previous rout

You're right, that's pretty C/Python-like. Nice. In fact, I've often thought that Python could make the syntax "n..m" expand to "range(n, m+1)" or equivalent. However, Python's TOOWTDI comes to mind. Not that it's quite true, but probably c

Me too, but I don't think it's just a preference. I come from a C/C++ background (I'd say the majority of people do, or C# or Java), and Python looks much more familiar and obvious to me than Ruby. For example, this from Wikipedia: (3

That's not quite true -- Adam Dunkels' protothreads make very good use of Duff's Device. They enable you to write event-driven code in a more or less thread-style way. That said, Mr Duff is kind of hidden inside the protothread macros -- on

Yeah, dead right. And even if he was right and it "worked", I'd still be saying no thanks. My family is far more important than money.

That's helpful -- a helpful explanation, I mean, as well as a potentially helpful tool. It'd be great if you could say more stuff like this on your home page. I tend not to sign up without a lot more information.

Yeah, a bit the same here in New Zealand (20 days/year is standard). But I think that would be quite generous by U.S. standards.

Yeah, that'd probably be a one-liner JavaScript. Something like: onclick="getElementById('pwd').type='text';" But you'd want a bit more to toggle it. Still, maybe a slightly better way -- and a way to address the security issue at th

Results: Okay, it's been about three days now, and it was hardly a conclusive study, but yep, Daniel was right. It didn't market itself, and I only got 8 people emailing me (in the first day, none afterwards). So I get to keep my $20. :-)

Yes. And to me it seemed odd that 3/4 of the examples of LESS actually require MORE typing than the CSS. So perhaps not the best name, but looks like a nice tool. Or maybe LESS should be an acronym: Less Equals Simpler Styles :-)
