This New Year's post from @timbray resonated with me: http://t.co/i2HOqNNf.

Five OSS technologies for 2012 include nginx, OpenStack, Linux Mint, and... Stig, a vaporware NoSQL database written in Haskell.

Firefox 11 developer tools are looking awesome. Fx 11 on Android also starts up seriously fast... Good stuff.

So are there any bag nerd companies like Tom Bihn and Goruck, but from Europe?

Awesome news from Mozilla, incoming...

In my head, Lawrence Lessig still looks like Doc Brown.

Need SSL certificate for work. Are there big differences in security among the big providers? Is EV worth it?

RFC 6455 is already working great at the office. Hoping to see more of it in the wild now that it has been standardized.

Don Henley's New York Minute never fails to remind of that West Wing episode.

So Mozilla's B2G can supposedly now integrate some WebOS technologies, as far as relevant.

Already dislike that the new Discover button always glows as if there's something new.

Okay, let's see if the lilypond-user mailing list can help me out.

I don't see any point to URL shorteners anymore, now that Twitter has integrated t.co. Please stop using bit.ly, is.gd and everything else.

Lilypond is both awesome and incredibly frustrating.

For the record: for some of my use cases, Firefox's (Aurora) inspector tools are much worse than the Chrome/Firebug-style DOM tree panel.

I wrote a university thesis comparing Java, Scala and Jython, and ran into a bunch of the same things. Don't believe the hype.

Why Scala is bad: http://t.co/PG68Dter.

Also, I read much faster than anyone can speak, so audio & video are generally less efficient.

Why I dislike screencasts: can't generally use them at work, hard to search through for a specific issue, hard to scan through.

Why the infatuation with screencasts? I much prefer text + code samples and/or screenshots.

I find it annoying that offline GMail is now only available in Chrome.
