   I think that's how Dribbble works, and it's quite a good way of doing it.

   Do any of these JavaScript frameworks have decent documentation yet? API docs are all well and good, but I'd really like some examples other than to-do applications. All they really need is an equivalent to the Rails guides at http://guide

   Aye, I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet. I want to offer a way of exploring entries but that relies on there being entries in the first place :)

   That's fine :D I'm just hoping there are customers for the quick-share-creative-writing market!

   I'm not trying to emulate pastie in allowing anonymous posting, so I opted for the quickest authentication system I could. I'll expand it to support other services or a standard signup form, but I'm not planning on opening it up to anonymou

   I whipped this up last week and I'm not sure where to take it from here. The idea is to provide an attractive way of sharing plain text, such as articles, prose, poetry etc. At the moment it just shows random writings from authors older tha

   Rackspace Cloud has servers in London, which may be a better option.

    I've had that ebook for a while but hadn't read it yet; I'll put some time into it this week I think. Just on the editor front; I've had quite a pleasant time writing Go in vim, but I guess that depends on whether you would class using vim

    Ah ha, I'd seen that style being used in a couple of libraries but I wasn't sure which was the more accepted standard. I'll make sure I use that format in the future. Update for your update: Aye, I wouldn't normally write so repetitively bu

    I already have far more than I should, as you can get some really nice names which are normally taken. Now if only I had a use for -any- of them.

    Awesome, that's nice and straightforward. If you could improve the audio quality/remove noise, then it could make for an entertaining web service. You could go so far as making a browser plugin (for more irony; in Chrome) which would auto s

    What problems did you run into when trying to use the speech API? It's quite an interesting avenue for bypassing these in the future as speech recognition gets better. Also highly entertaining when you use Google's own service against them.

    Oh when it comes to streaming files then I totally agree that the server should do the work. This is more about reducing the visible load time for dynamic pages on a site. My example points to my site (e.g. http://daysoutnearme.com/hubs/ci

    I'm not sure I understand your last line there. The request takes exactly the same amount of time as if you weren't using Rails' streaming support and will occupy a web process for the same duration; it just results in some of the data bein

    I read that article after reading your one about the NewRelic trouble. It's a nice technique and it's great to see someone else actually writing about this in regards to Rails (your NewRelic post saved me a load of agony) :)

    Ah ha, I see that's in the latest gem release - I'll update my version later. I have a feeling I was the cause of some slowness at Memcachier when I first switched to Unicorn without closing the connections, which must have been on a previo

    Aye, I think enabling this automatically would do good things for user experience but it would require a pretty significant change to the Rails stack. It's a shame that there isn't a way to tentatively pass the status code (i.e. '250: This

    I like it. The interface feels a little laggy to me but that might be because I'm using phone tethering at the moment. I see it as an odd mix of Pinboard, Pinterest, and Evernote; kinda what I was looking for.

    I usually like to see both, as I never watch intro videos while I'm sure that others do.

    I'd highly recommend any Scalzi book. The Old Man's War trilogy is great, but if you're after something more light-hearted then The Android's Dream or Agent to the Stars are also great.

    I noticed this the other day and just toggled it on myself. Making IPv6 easy to implement will hopefully ramp up adoption.

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind for the future; it's a bad habit of mine :D I actually didn't realise you only needed that for assignment. That's going to neaten up my code somewhat. I normally don't put .to_s in strings lik

    I recall trying out cache-money a while back. I haven't tried out any of the current equivalents, but I may have to give them a go just to see what they can do.
