Also, Java is another crappy language with single-argument round.

Eclipse's static Java analysis sucks.

Finally figured this out: GMail buttons have a different look depening on the OS (OS X vs. Win XP).

Power loss at the office. Very thankful for @CouchDB (continuous and otherwise) replication right about now.

2010-08-31 09:50:06

Finished my thesis. Whew.

Tried StageFlow Keynote Remote for Android. It mostly works, but definitely not good enough to trust my presentation to it.

What's with this new @googlecalendar favicon?

The iMac Touch: http://ajxn.it/b8k1kb. Oh, wow.

"Sound and Decidable Type Inference for Functional Dependencies" has GJ Duck listed as its primary author. I chuckled.

2010-08-22 16:53:48

Hmm, need reference on programmers spend more time reading than writing code. Any hints?

Saw Inception in IMAX. Mind = blown.

Epic state of Java post from @headius: http://blog.headius.com/2010/08/my-thoughts-on-oracle-v-google.html

Thinking about the Firefox tab context menu items. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587285

GMail UI: "Select all" link was used by < 1% of users and all the other select links are used by <<< 1% of users. Sucks to be the minority.

2010-08-14 08:00:41

Finally got Stross' The Fuller Memorandum. Another awesome Laundry novel.

2010-08-14 07:52:30

Rule of thumb: don't mess with my muscle memory.

2010-08-12 07:15:12

GMail: no "Mark unread" link anymore. Firefox: switched positions for "Open in New Tab" and "Open in New Window" in 4.0b3. Ugh.

2010-08-12 06:45:36

Hmm, going from Classic to Bold Blue has made GMail (surprisingly) less blue. Much better...

2010-08-11 08:10:39

Hmm, I think I preferred GMail when it wasn't so damn blue.

MQ is the git index on steroids: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2010/08/a-git-users-guide-to-mercurial-queues/

SC2 should have an achievement for being obliterated except for a few workers, then winning.

2010-08-06 17:03:47

So I sympathetic to @marcoarment's Mac Pro vs iMac reasoning, but Mac Pro is still at 3x non-Apple configuration (very similar components).

2010-08-06 07:57:20

Played my first SC2 games today. Pretty awesome.

OH on a dev mailing list: "Assume your reviewer has the attention span of a goldfish."
