I just sent a mail to Tumblr support yesterday asking if there was a way to do this without having to export all my Blogger content and write a custom loader script against the API. Of course, they said they don't have such a tool. I love

The professor might also be an overbearing tool bag or the class might not be particularly worth the effort (I've had a few of these). Anecdotal evidence like this is junk. My dad showed me his report card from Kindergarten once. He barel

Agreed. Some people just aren't as effective at abstract symbol manipulation. I've found that people who can pick up programming languages can pick up other human languages and vice versa. This doesn't mean that they can't learn programmi

This was how most of my professors taught debugging, actually. Print statements. Reading the code is great but after a while it really does become hard to see where things go awry--especially in your own code. I think teaching students t

An avid Apple and open source fan. I've recently come to see how much of a contradiction that can be. That said, I don't think an open-sourced version of Microsoft's enterprise intranet newsfeed network thingy would be terribly exciting.

It is the jack of all trades and the master of none, with one exception. It works very well with ActiveDirectory. Other than that, it will do a mediocre job at being anything you can dream up: CMS, blog platform, wiki, customer portal, in

Ew. Someone just posted a message about auto-scripting something like this. Now I feel dirty and ashamed for suggesting it, even if they didn't get the idea from me.

I feel terrible that my first thought when reading the title was "I'm not familiar with a markup language called sheetmetal."

Is there some kind of karma-grabbing contest to post everything that comes out on a few key blogs before anyone else can?

I'm a spelling nutter, too. I'll file this one for later use. I think it may be the first time I've ever seen it written or attempted to write the word. Thanks!

Perhaps instant karma also refers to the karma the submitter expected for posting TC come-up-ins. A short title with much depth.

I'm still unclear about the difference between defecit and deficit.

The corollary is also true. From what I saw in school, academic success didn't really require or didn't often encourage high IQ.

I'm not going to repeat my whole comment here, but the thing that still bothers me about OpenID is the incentive/adoption interplay. I don't think OpenID will take off until big players with large user bases make it the preferred authentic

Thanks. I would posit that the celebrity nature of professional sports is the biggest contribution to making them becoming huge money-making enterprises in the last few decades. If you made all players anonymous, I would bet money that the

Leaving usernames out entirely would make it harder to gain reputation which would probably reduce the amount of incoming content. The reputation aspect tied to a name, the cult of personality, is part of what keeps this thing churning. Im

You do. I'm a fan of magical realism, so the esoteric content doesn't bother me but I totally get your ranking on that point. Norwegian Wood is all psychology and no parapsychology. If I remember correctly, South of the Border, West of t

I use Disqus in my poetry web app and realized that it doesn't address auto-discovery for the comments on a poem (which is a blog post for all intents and purposes). The Disqus component on the page does include an RSS link, but it's not p

I'm sure they're trying, pragmatically, to solve the problem of providing the self-contained .NET development experience to the effort of creating web animation and RIA. Market share is part of it, but they've always succeeded in having a

I'm using Heroku, which runs on Amazon. Since I'm not using Amazon service directly, this might actually be a more fair comparison (AWS by itself is lower level than Heroku and GAE). I don't plan to switch because I've been having a good

I'm planning to switch from local avatars to something else. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Regarding OpenID, all the services I've tested with so far don't even return email, let alone anything else. Is this a heavily under-use
