I think it's no secret that I'm a big fan of This Week in Startups. In this latest episode (no 128) Jason Calacanis interviews Color's founder, Bill Nguyen. Color has obviously had a lot of attention because of it's enormous pre-launch raise and the low quality of it's initial application. The interview addresses and gives you a little glimpse into the way Bill sees things.

I really should learn from my past mistakes, and usually I do, but this one comes to bite me again and again. I never save assets. This results in me having to find fonts, recreate images and the like over and over. If you do a hard refresh of this page (CTRL+F5) you will notice the logo looks a little different. This is because I couldn’t find the font I used before and had to find something similar.

MySQL has had a pretty decent full text search engine in it's MyISAM storage engine and for some developers it's probably still a pretty big reason for sticking with MySQL (for some functionality at least). Somebody published [this link](https://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Full%20Text%20Search%20in%20Mongo) to the The MongoDB blog [on Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2376349), just now, so I wanted to share it here.

Patrick McKenzie is one of the most well known users on the Hacker News website. He runs the blog [Micro ISV on a shoestring](https://www.kalzumeus.com/) (which is a name that makes almost no sense to me, but is still really good). I didn't really know Patrick had started giving talks, he posted this video of a talk he gave at the [Business of Software conference](https://businessofsoftware.org/) probably in the fall of 2010.

I am extremely lucky to have ended up in a situation where I know and work around people who do the things I’m trying to learn for a living, on a daily basis. I think I would’ve given up on this snail game long ago if I was in a more isolated position where the only point of contact with people who know what they’re doing and are willing to help is Google or programming forums. Just a couple of days ago, I was trying to do something that I ..

A lot of people have asked me whether there’s some sort of index or “table of contents” of my TPT scripts (there’s over 1000 in my TPT script repo right now). I have planned to create such index for years, but never got to it. I probably never will :) So a good way to extract the descriptions of some scripts is to just grep for Purpose : in the scripts directory:

So I've been working on some toy projects in node.js for a few weeks. Node is pretty hot in the tech media these days (see this article , among many others), and I've been having fun learning it and opening my brain to the world of async and callbacks. This post will just note a handful of the interesting things I've found thus far. OK, so one of the first things I got enticed by was CoffeeScript by Jeremy Ashkenas. It's a pretty lit....

In Greek mythology, the Anemoi were wind gods who were each ascribed a cardinal direction, from which their respective winds came, and were each associated with various seasons and weather conditions. They were often personified as winged men and, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, were the children of Astraeus and the goddess of the […]

Methodologies. Oh, methodologies. Agile, Scrum, Kanban etc. etc etc.. I'm a big opponent of those. Probably because I've never really worked within a large team of developers so I probably haven't seen a use case for those yet, but they are really popular. They are especially popular amongst people who are not programmers. I've even seen a lot of startups here in Iceland adopt some of them, no matter if they are doing software development o..

You may know John as the author of jQuery, so this fellow really knows what he's doing when it comes to Javascript. John's templating engine is extremely fast. In fact it's the fastest of the templating engines featured on this jsPerf benchmark comparison test. What's more amazing is if you view the code behind it, it is extremely short and simple which also means that it minifizes pretty easily to just under 500 characters. That's impressi..

How does one draw an endearing snail? I’ve been working so much on the mechanics of my game that sometimes I just want to take it easy and flesh out the design and some of the illustrations. I know, this isn’t really “taking it easy” - it’s also hard work. However, it kind of lets my brain switch to something different. I think I’ll need to find a balance of working on the gameplay and the style of the actual game. Besides, at this point ..

If you program in Python, you’re probably familiar with the pickle serialization library, which provides for efficient binary serialization and loading of Python datatypes. Hopefully, you’re also familiar with the warning printed prominently near the start of pickle’s documentation: Warning: The pickle module is not intended to be secure against erroneous or maliciously constructed data.

A few days ago I looked into a SQL Tracefile of some LOB access code and saw a LOBREAD entry there. This is a really welcome improvement (or should I say, bugfix of a lacking feature) for understanding resource consumption by LOB access OPI calls. Check the bottom of the output below: *** 2011-03-17 14:34:37.242 WAIT #47112801352808: nam='SQL*Net message from client' ela= 189021 driver id=1413697536 #bytes=1 p3=0 obj#=99584 tim=130039047....

It continues to amaze me how much people devote themselves to Apple products. Every time the fruit company releases a new product, people line in front of the store for days in hopes of being one of the first blessed people who get to touch the shiny new toy. The Oatmeal has an awesome comic about this. Being all crazy and sleeping on the sidewalk aside, let’s look at more of a down-to-earth example. Being a geek and all, I get asked ra....

Something I tend to need from time to time is some generated lorem ipsum text as a placeholder. I would normally search for lorem ipsum, click through to lipsum.com click paragraph etc… I thought this was too much work, so I quickly added a lipsum generator. To use it just type the following, lorem:100 Where you can replace 100 with any number of words up to 1000. Works for the following search texts as well,

So the iiNet TopGeek journey is over for me. I think I did well, if I do say so myself.

Congratulations to the top five (especially Jess, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at the WA games challenge and who definitely deserved to go ..
