   I thought about doing an in-browser git implementation for enabling offline mode in a webapp. Doing things with git would make some really interesting sync scenarios possible. Looking at what was involved though, I think I'm glad I didn't g

   It would have been trivial for them to patch Process Explorer to hide whatever they wanted anyway.

   I have played with making an absolutely positioned single-char text input box in my custom editor ( https://github.com/dnewcome/richie ). The idea is that it forces the built-in keyboard to show but the input is caught and inserted into the

   I wish I had heard about this a few months ago. I wanted to implement a way to create and connect streaming web services. I hacked up something then called webpipes ( https://github.com/dnewcome/webpipes ) using node.js. Unfortunately I hav

   Alas, if anything I ever wrote commanded criticism akin to that in comment #59 by voralex I think I could die happy.

   Lenovo went to a lot of effort on the battery/charging indicator, but they just managed to make it as complicated as possible. http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=79

   You get the most value out of blogging if you publish it. Period. Writing drafts is great, but it just isn't the same as putting it out there. It's like practice vs. performance. No amount of practice can take the place of the experience ga

    The shadow imaging hack to avoid lenses reminds me of the single-pixel camera that produces the image via random sampling http://www.ece.rice.edu/~duarte/images/csCamera-SPMag-web.pd... I love this kind of hack for some reason.

    I was kind of disappointed that it wasn't an active voltage-sensing solution. If it works well with all batteries (even cheap ones) then I guess it's a good hack though.

    I was thinking that an ASCII output option would be appropriate, given the TAB file tradition.

    Good for them. I thought that DabbleDB was really cool. Some of the things that they were doing with Seaside/Smalltalk were pretty out there. Eg, doing persistence by just persisting the entire Smalltalk VM image. Each customer got their ow

    Thanks for the comments. It looks like Node.net should port to any of those Javascript implementations. The basic requirements are the ability to use functions as delegates for callbacks from the host platform and thread sync primitives to

    I added RDF/XML and RDF JSON equivalent representations of the most complex example given in the readme. I'll hopefully add some more examples soon.

    I tried this for a while. No matter how soft whatever you are kneeling on is the pressure is only bearable for 30 minute periods. It would work as part of a system in combination with standing and sitting though. Another thing that might wo

    Thanks for taking a look. Working with XML isn't that hard, true, but even just using jQuery to replace my normal XPath looping-and-plucking was really nice. This just takes things one step further by letting you express collections and rec

    Once I got to the part in the article where they started combining the terms like `Independently innovative' I thought that this is ripe for a `personal leadership brand generator' site.
