   Bad title. The man robbed a bank for health care. He only loses if they don't find him guilty.

   This is great, thanks. I put it in revise and did a tiny bit of cleanup, but nothing worth really publishing.

   This was around 10 years ago (which is a lot more recent than I'd expect). There's no MX or A record on arpa right now.

   arpa is still published. I got a resume a few years ago from a guy who's email address was something@arpa. That's just bad ass.

   Agreed, a download is most useful to me. I'd rather play with the data.

   Amazing how many people are commenting about how SSDs don't help much. I am stunned by how long it takes to do anything on any of my computers that don't have SSDs now. IOPS matter to me.

   Well, no. I should try to actually get it up there, though. My current userbase likes it, but it'd be fun to see what the store would do.

    I tried to push up one of my apps. It passes all validation and stuff and then uploads to Apple. Then Apple sends me an email telling me it was signed wrong. I follow instructions, repeat. They're OK at support, giving me a lot of stuff

    This is one of the applications for which I really like small couch dbs. Build it in one place, replicate all over. I converted something from that to a couchdb in a couple of minutes and set up a view to reproduce their CIDR export data.

    Pixelmator is a great and underpriced product. I had no qualms about buying it again when it hit the app store.

    So instead of doing one thing well, they do several things well? That seems pretty awesome. I'm a huge fan of my Android phone. I think it's pure magic. I can't understand how people can tolerate these iPhone 4s since they're such inferi

    I've been using the Couchbase server alpha for a good while for a few reasons. _replicator DB has made a lot of things a lot easier for me. I get a pretty good reduction in file space as well (my wikipedia database is about 25% smaller, f

    I didn't learn anything from this, but I've been using d3.js most of the weekend to help me build dynamic SVGs for a project. With d3 handy, I say SVG. :)

    I keep SMS and phone calls making noise, but don't often answer them unless I'm out and idle. I just note that I have something to look at when I get back to my desk.

    I made these same complaints in their blog post comments when it came out. They made it harder to test code without first publishing it (i.e. welcome to CVS) and in the trivial cases where someone submits a spelling fix to your docs and yo

    I only thought once. The del.icio.us API would allow them to grab pretty much all of it anyway. I've already migrated mine out to a couchdb-based clone: http://xlson.com/2011/01/13/out-off-delicious-and-into-your-... This has the nice b

    That's pretty much how all development works in OS X proper. Just today, I needed a simple interactive calculator to think through a problem. It took me about as long to write an app as it would've taken me to make a spreadsheet, but I got
