oEmbed: Twitter Cards | Twitter Developers →
embedded Twitter card, timelines and tweets, basically give you no reason to do it otherwise if you simply want to include a tweet or a list of tweets of a certain topic. Although Twitter took quite some heat for their recent mood-swing against developers, I do think that they are pushing boundaries if it comes to content sharing and inclusion of tweets in other sites.
Texter, drawing pictures with text →
I don’t know where to use it, yet, but I’ll sneak it into a presentation soon, probably.

rogueleaderr:
Last week, I took a Megabus from New York to Boston. It’s a four-hour trip and Megabus advertises free wifi, so I expected to be able to get in some serious undisturbed working time.
Imagine my disappointment when I opened my laptop, connected to wifi, tried to ssh into a server I’m working…

How to completely remove Office for Mac 2011 →
Thanks to the sane Microsoft employee that wrote a blog post on how to uninstall Office 2011 for the Mac.
Apparently the development team of Office for Mac found it unnecessary to come up with an uninstaller.

The Shapes of CSS →
We have to develop a series of widgets the next couple of weeks. I might take a look into doing it CSS only.
Unicode Table →
The full unicode table, great source of inspiration. Wondering though, why I see so many squares in my browser. I thought is was a given that i’d have the full unicode set. But it seems that I don’t have any of the e.g. Buginese and Balinese characters.

Testing multi-lingual, multi-characterset support just became easier.

Be better at email | Profgarrett →
This post of Profgarett (http://profgarrett.com/2012/06/20/be-better-at-email/) kind of resembles how I try to keep my inbox empty. However, i’d suggest that you “Deal with email overload” by simply making sure you receive less e-mail.
People often have numerous notification services, newsletters, or end face2face conversations with “send me a mail and I’ll think...
ataussig.com: When startups compete, no one wins →
ataussig:
Two types of competitors exist for startups: big companies and other startups.
It’s a good strategy for small companies to frame their vision around beating a big company. Salesforce was the anti-Oracle. Apple was the anti-IBM. WePay has been known to punk PayPal on occasion. Why? First off,…
Filipe Kiss : A better git log →
I saw the same idea in a destroyallsoftware.com video. Having a better looking Git log on the command line might actually make that I’ll use GitX less.
The one liner for better looking git logs is:

Interesting list of assumptions about time / clocks on computers and servers. Might explain why it’s so hard to actually get a proper appointment system up and running that does not mess up timezones and makes me miss meetings due to daylight saving time and timezone issues.

Note to self:
If any kind of variable/class or module name is prone to typos, and you know you have to type it a lot…think of a different one.
It’s far too easy to type Questoinnaire instead of Questionnaire and man, did I lose a lot of time fixing bugs / failing tests because of this.
