"The Little Book.." was the first instructional text I read on CoffeeScript, i.e. beyond Coffee's home page hosted on GitHub. I followed up with the following free e-book, which I …

Not sure if you'd have any thoughts on this matter... The JavaScript community as a whole (seen especially in the direction of node.js + NPM) is moving away from global namespaces …

No previous Perl programming-experience. I've been consciously aware of Perl since at least 1998 and even poked at the source code of some scripts here and there, but didn't bother…

Over the past week I've read "Modern Perl", and will finish it later today: http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/ The ebook/PDF edition is free! It's a great book for learning (mo…

As someone who uses and develops open source software, communication via IRC (especially the Freenode network) is an important element of my day-to-day routine. I'm very happy runn…

It would be interesting to find out if using Hans Montanus's non-canonical formulation of GR (which involves a Euclidean metric and perfectly flat space-time) would yield the same …

Oh, forgot to point out the other big difference. Slicehost had (and still has) a monthly billing model with a monthly bandwidth allowance bundled into the cost. Rackspace Cloud Se…

No, you are incorrect. Slicehost technology is Rackspace Cloud Servers technology. Cloud servers and Slicehost slices are running in the same racks on the same hardware using ident…

The author mentions CPS... There already exists a powerful cross-environment JavaScript CPS implementation called JooseX.CPS: https://github.com/SamuraiJack/JooseX-CPS Tutorials: h…

How amazingly cool is this! http://jsfiddle.net/michaelsbradleyjr/sZUtU/ I had not really tinkered with flapjax on the client-side until tonight, but jsfiddle sparked my instincts …

jade looks interesting, had not heard of it before and will be looking closely at it for sure. I'd like to also recommend Nickolay Platonov's little-known but powerful JS templatin…

I had Office Depot print this cheat sheet: in color, legal-sized, double-sided, laminated with a heavy/stiff plastic and spiral bound. It now sits off to the side of my desk and ha…

My beliefs and meditation-prayer practices are according to the Christian Faith, but "sitting quietly, doing something" is an apt description whether it's Buddhist meditation or Ch…

Nice! I wasn't expecting that, fun surprise :-D

I posted this info as a comment on the guy's blog (still awaiting moderation), but I thought you might find it interesting too, the point being that amazing things are possible wit…

It's pretty clear that this church's site was inciting or had the potential to incite violence. I think the tricky issue here is "hate speech". There are varying standards, and wha…

tmux is a great BSD-licensed alternative: http://tmux.sourceforge.net/ I've tried both, and the licensing issue aside, I've found I prefer tmux. Anyway, not wanting to turn this in…
