Has anyone heard of ifttt (if this then that) ? It’s a new service (free, for now) based on what I think is a really original and awesome idea! ifttt is like an automated social media/internet to do list.

Recently, at SheepDogInc , I have been working with various Google APIs, especially the Calendar API. The state of these APIs is rather unfortunate . Google is a web giant and you’d think that their APIs would be state-of-the-art given the number of professionals they employ. Documentation Before we go anywhere, let me just talk about the documentation for a minute. As an open-source software author and advocate, I always encourage deve....

Good news. I have finally arrived in Palo Alto. I just got to my hotel and I'm getting my apartment later this week (hopefully), so you could say that I've officially moved.

I know this sounds extremely lame, but on Wednesday August 3rd, I threw my back out playing Angry Birds. And each time I’ve told people that, they’ve either burst out laughing, gave me the quizzical look (as if I’m joking), or simply state something along the lines of “if it were to happen, it would have happened to you.” I definitely plan on telling people that I threw my back out playing Angry Birds at future events (it is a great ice ..

My employer, SheepDogInc , sent me and a colleague of mine to DjangoCon 2011 . It was my first developer conference and I had a blast. Here a few quick points about what the conference has clarified for me. Deploying Django Despite the Django official documentation’s recommendation to use Apache and mod_wsgi, most people seem to deploy Django with nginx and gunicorn. This has been a pleasant surprise to me because I like it but though t....

I’m getting worried about Google. Long one of the champions of the open web alongside Mozilla, the rise of social networking silos and the app economy seem to have scared them. And like any scared organism, they lash out. Many of their plans to make web competitive against native development environments are good, there is indeed much to improve in the stack. But what I’m uneasy with is the unilateral way they go about it, preferrin....

Well, what was left of my post-Ukrainian childhood, anyway… Website contests Does anyone else remember those website competitions, where you had groups of sites joining teams (usually fantasy-themed) and compete amongst themselves to get the most votes, and then the finalists of those teams would go up against finalists of the other teams until there was one winner left and they got an animated GIF award to put on their page?

This is awesome for all Vimsters out there. A guy named Michael Pohoreski seems to have had a similar problem to almost every other vim user/beginner out there. He couldn't find a good vim cheat sheet, so he made the mother of all cheat sheets. It's damn ugly, but pretty good:

A while back I applied to Microsoft’s MACH Scheme (graduate scheme) and was lucky enough to get offered a place. Only started on Monday but I’m already loving it. If you’re a student considering applying for graduate jobs I would strongly recommend it . P.s. As I’ve started work and don’t working internet connection at home (yet) I just wanted to quickly apologise for not getting back to people as quickly as I normally would. I will st..
