Just ffffound this picture, and it jumped out as the way to follow up the last 2 posts. Apparently I’m not the only one who felt that the Java a-snide was really misleading and needed to be called out, and he followed up with a post called Shipping Means Prioritizing. If this was […]

Java Developers Unhappy With Leopard ★
I fail to see why anyone (other than Java developers themselves) would care.
Wow, this Apple fan-dom thing can be really annoying. (Note I’ve still got my original MacPlus from 1986, which still works, I cut my teeth on ThinkC, etc.) “I fail to see why anyone would […]
I’m getting buried with spam over here at the SG HQ. All of it seems to go be going to the first Hobo tutorial post. Is that a measure or some sort of success? I wonder if these spam machines target sites which have more traffic, and now that I’ve gone from […]
Evidence Based Scheduling
Interesting feature of FogBugs which estimates your launch date as a probability of how accurate you’ve been in meeting your feature time estimates. I wonder if it works.

I read a lot of computer books, and the Processing Handbook is one of the best ones I’ve ever read. Processing in a graphical programming environment which is targeted for not programmers, and as a result Reas & Fry have spent a long time working out how to best teach graphic programming in a […]

Paper Planes, by M.I.A.
This is the first go-and-buy the albumn find for me. Fun story. She’s from Sri Lankan, hailing from there and London. From XL:
The majority of the record was made when she was supposed to be taking time out and traveling. When she ended up in Chennai, India, she spent […]
ActiveRecord used single table inheritance to store a heirachy of models in the same table, using a column called type to know what object to stick the data it as it comes back from the database. This is pretty cool, but… when you define your fields in a hobo model, it uses method_missing to […]
Here’s a processing toy which uses the basic idea of fractals to make shapes that look like plants, or blades of grass. Each planet has a “genetic code” which describes how it’s grown, and the sketch displays the plant from seed to the end, simulating the branches getting bigger and heavier and getting tossed […]
