Yeah, that background makes me nostalgic for 1997-era internet.

Agreed. In the past, I've used hipmunk to find a flight, and once I found myself forwarded to Orbitz, went to the airline's site and looked up the same flight manually.

Notational Velocity is great. Just point it to a dropbox folder and set it to use plain text files and you're set with syncing. There's even an equivalent program for Windows - ResophNotes http://www.resoph.com/ResophNotes/Welcome.html .

I prefer using a program like Password Safe ( http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ ), and use a safe password that's a long sentence (with punctuation). Then I can use arbitrarily long and complex passwords for all my accounts, and not hav

I've been using this hacked-together standing desk for a week and love it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/410195/standing%20desk.jpg My feet are definitely tired around 4pm, though.

Interesting article, but what about Steve Jobs? Warren Buffet? Bill Gates? It's easy to pick a few examples of anything, but it doesn't make it a real trend.

I've read that turning down the temperature in the tank can increase the risk of Legionnaires disease. I don't know how much of a risk that actually is, though: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/03/turning-down-water-h...

0. A developer must not harm Steve Jobs or, through inaction, allow Steve Jobs to come to harm.

I get the concern, but I feel like there's an entire Internet out there where a real name isn't required... The fact that you have to use your real name is apparent from the moment you sign up, and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

I read it several years ago and concur - it's well worth the read.

The prevalence of ad-hominem attacks against Icaza is unfortunate. You can agree or not with his more-pragmatic-than-some stance towards open source software, Microsoft, etc., but the fact remains that the guy is a first-rate builder and h

Interesting. Although that sort of raises the same question.

I must be missing something, but couldn't Google just have a device identify itself as a normal browser in the user agent string of any http request it makes?

Hah. I was thinking I would have been sorely tempted by this in high school latin.

Another option, if you don't mind USB, is to use Wordcycler ( http://www.wordcycler.com ). It's free, and allows you to two-way-sync individual articles to your Kindle. When you delete them from your Kindle, it will be automatically archi

My father, an accountant, was talking to me about this very problem a few weeks ago, and I thought it was a good business opportunity. Congrats on taking a shot at it. One question: Have you given any consideration for sending files the o

I would suggest reading this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/197139/fair-contract-sala... Obviously, I can't speak for your situation, but there's a good chance you're undercharging.

Agreed. It's definitely not a zero-sum game. Most of the time I read my kindle books on the kindle, but at night in bed it's great to be able to read on my iPod touch without any light.

The kindlegen command-line program from Amazon is pretty easy to use, and supports ePub and HTML: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000... Works on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

One way to avoid kindle fees is to use USB to sync. If you're on Mac, use Ephemera ( http://goephemera.com/ ), or if you're on Windows, use Wordcycler ( http://www.wordcycler.com/ ). (I'm the developer of Wordcycler.) Another great benefi
