I do believe that you've picked up what I put down. Seriously though, my desktop is essentially bare. I like the space to spread my arms out as I think, and I find that a large clean surface allows me to concentrate better than a desk full

Nothing. A cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind.

I haven't started writing any code yet, but I'll get to it eventually here: https://github.com/cfinke/Telegraph.js if anyone is interested in following the project's progress.

Isn't it moot to withhold your name but still list that you work at Northrop Grumman and are the webmaster for the International Women's Flag Football Association? There can't be too many people who fit that description.

I thought this was going to be a plugin that would allow a user to click in Morse code on a text input in order to "type" their text. I'm kind of disappointed that it's not, since I've been meaning to write a browser extension to enable Mor

Maybe I've missed something, but what has changed in the two years since eBay spun off Skype at a valuation of < $3B to make it worth more than $7 billion today?

When I started at Netscape (the social news site, not the browser), I spent my first two days doing QA on the application, and I would heartily recommend having new hires do this. I got acquainted with all the aspects of the site, I didn't

My two-year-old asks every day to play Angry Birds. He's terrible at it (in the traditional sense), but he spends lots of time flinging the birds off in the wrong direction.

AOL has owned Engadget for six years. I doubt they're leaving because things got "corporate" all of a sudden.

That kind of text will still confuse the majority of Web users. It's the kind of thing my mom or wife would show to me and say, "So am I supposed to put my state in? Why do they have it there if I'm not supposed to fill it in?"

I like the animation between the screens of the tour, but I'd like even more to be able to try out a demo of the bug tracker. Also, I'd avoid using a quote from a bugrocket founder as a testimonial.

I hate coding on anything but a laptop. Having the keyboard + trackpad + monitor in such a tight space greatly decreases the time my hands and eyes spend moving. I've tried dual-monitor setups before, but they make me feel like my head

It's a beautiful visualization. While browsing through the source code, I noticed that there are a few numeric keyboard shortcuts. "9" is especially handy!

In this case, you really still only have one password (the formula that generates your passwords), and saving a script that runs that formula is the same as someone else putting their single password on a Post-It.

OwlHuntr, if you're interested in some code that could generate PDF invoices from your .clockwork.log files, let me know. I have some code that I think could be easily adapted to do exactly that.
