Nice work. I'd tinkered with the same thing and actually came up with https://github.com/mtigas/django-medusa but never got it clean/stable enough to talk about (though it now runs my blog to S3 where it's served now). Some of the same id

Not sure what HP's decision-making process was here, but sure looks like the team wasn't ready (or may not have even known if this was in play ahead of time). See comment by Dave Balmer (Senior Software Engineer, webOS Developer Relations):

It's not dead yet: While introduced last month, Wednesday was just the first hearing regarding HR3261. The House Judiciary Committee will reconvene on it in a few weeks. ( http://staff.tumblr.com/post/12930076128/a-historic-thing ) It's mor

The choice of a red-green gradient is probably not wise, considering the prominence of people with red-green colorblindness. ( Screenshot http://bit.ly/fcRHRk vs filtered screenshot http://bit.ly/frqlxP — Note the similarity of NYC and

My one-off alarms worked for me as well — though they hadn’t been enabled all weekend and I enabled them before bed last night. Not sure what the circumstances were for those whose alarms didn’t go off today.

Is that Google Spreadsheet publicly-viewable? Your page is showing either "User not signed in" or "Access denied" (if signed into Google), in the spot where I assume there should be an embedded spreadsheet.

One missed in that article is chrome://system which brings up a bunch of hardware-related data. (For example, cpuinfo output. If you're wondering: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66GHz.) As other commenters have mentioned, a bunch of those w

That "crosh" shell is actually extremely limited, only allowing a handful of basic commands. (ssh, ping, traceroute, top, a couple of other misc utilities -- but no text editor.) You still need to enable developer mode to get to a "tradit

Looks like the list is far too long for the automatic Google Charts URL to work since it goes over the API's limits. Bug in that Google Docs template, I guess. Try this: https://www.google.com/chart?cht=bhs&chs=300x1000&ch... EDI

Sure, but thousands of people phoning in to say “you’re an utter asshole” — leading to the site’s closure — isn’t simply “not a nice thing to do,” though. They got what they deserved, but if it ain’t “mob justice,” I don’t know what else to

AFAIK, Patch http://www.patch.com/ has been growing by leaps and bounds — but they may have more autonomy than some (all) of the advertising/services acquisitions. (I guess most of which eventually folded into AOL?)
