    Sad to see this shut down, I've enjoyed reading it over the years. Now there is no easy way to get blog posts from all the people at Basecamp. Subscribing to each employee's blog s…

    The Android turbolinks version 1 adapter is now deprecated but a version 2 is meant to be coming soon. I believe it's going to come out after Basecamp's new product named Hey is re…

    That's what I have, a very small helper library that contains 5 or 6 functions that I use frequently like .closest(), .hideAll(), .showAll() etc. My application doesn't use much JS…

    I use http://www.fbpurity.com/ to do filtering on Facebook and it works well enough even if it breaks the layout sometimes.

    The idea is to still eat healthy food on both days but one day you just eat less. So one day you might only have dinner and the next day you will have 3 or 4 meals all of which are…

    I use Anki almost every day (for language learning) and from a user interface it is a terrible piece of software. It is inconsistent and not at all intuitive, even simple tasks usu…

    I am running 12.04 on a machine with a SSD and 16GB of RAM and it works perfectly. I was not even aware people were having this problem until I read this post.

    This looks like an interesting idea but I get the feeling there isn't a business behind it yet and they are just seeing if people are interested at this stage. In my opinion this w…

    I have an Octopress site that I generate locally and sync up to S3, this blog outlines how to get it setup. Once you've created the Rake task it's as simple as "rake deploy" and ev…
