    I'm on a danish keyboard; the programmer-handy keys like "[" and "]" have been moved to shortcuts (alt-9 for "]") to make room for the danish letters "æøå", so some of the combo's …

    Darnit, no Denmark :( I think it's a good idea, and i'd subscribe if my country was supported.

    HARO is a good business for Peter Shankman, I just googled it and first link says $800K/year around the start of 2009[1]. The point being that it's probably not so much about him n…

    But beware that you'll have to give your e-mail address to get the results. It's a trap.

    HTML5 is not a valid alternative to Flash. Sure, there is some overlap between them, but there are way more differences. It's (like so much else) like comparing an apple to an oran…

    I, for one, welcome a django-like templates for .net -- Especially since it's open source. I looked for exactly this half a year ago, and couldn't find anything. I ended up writing…

    WriteRoom is cool for sure. If you ever need to "upgrade" a bit, then i've personally found Ulysses to be the next logical step. It has a fullscreen mode akin to writeroom, but als…
