    I left that out of the post because I didn't change it from what Apache was installed with on my debian box. It looks like this. # # The following directives define some format nic…

    I was using haystack with whoosh and running into the same problem. I was waiting for some updates on that, but I think I'll check this out first. Thanks for sharing the code.

    I tried doing it that way first, but the wsgi directives aren't allowed in an .htaccess file. It would have been much better to have a user place a few lines in their .htaccess fil…

    I just went through the whole xbox live cancel thing too. No place on the site or in the console to quit. Tech support e-mail would always say call them. The person on the phone wa…

    It's good that you have a video showing the features, but it could use some more audio. The silent parts need a voiceover. It looks like there is enough stuff to talk about to fill…

    In addition to this question it would be good to know where to go to try out all of these chairs that are mentioned. Most places I've been only have the cheap ones out for trial.

    It would be nice to know more about how the website will be sent to my kindle before giving out my kindle email address.

    Are you using nginx for static files and proxying apache for python? I recently set something like that up and posted about it to spread the word. http://codespatter.com/2009/04/23…

    Are you saving the urls after someone requests one to be lengthened? It could act as a backup if one of the shorteners went down. Maybe one of the firefox extension developers that…

    It's important to pay attention to what other hackers are doing in your area. One of the awesome things about silicon valley is all of the people from the startups hang out there, …

    That is something that I would probably buy. I've been thinking about living on a boat for about a year now and I haven't really done any research. I'm sure there would be tons of …

    I liked the video that you have after signing up. That should be easier to find for people that haven't signed up yet.

    I would also recommend sxsw. I haven't been before, but I'll be there this year. The talks look interesting. http://sxsw.com/interactive/talks/panels

    http://twitter.com/greg_allard I mostly do @ replies, links to my blog posts, or what beer I'm drinking (microbrews, nothing boring)

    I noticed that too. The numbers in the picture do support his point though. 209/259 = 80.7% is listed higher than 118/143 = 82.5%

    Ok. I didn't see the Unsafe Reload option. That works.

    It seems to be making NoScript go nuts. Delicious bookmarking still works, but it obviously doesn't need to get content from the page. I tried adding things to the whitelist but ha…

    I've been looking for a simple task app that I can use on my iphone and have in my google homepage. I'll be trying this out.

    I've noticed that python seems to stay cleaner than php would, but I'm not sure if it's the framework that's keeping things neat or the fact that php made it easier for the code to…

    I created a link that says "Share this on Twitter" instead of doing an image. I don't know who made that one and I didn't see any others that I like. I'll see if many people use th…

    I like quick projects like that. I put together http://isthemarketdown.com in 3 hours, but I haven't spent much time promoting it. The twit this button is a good idea.
