About zealog

Designer, developer, and what not. Started on Basic and a Vic20 back in the 80s. Worked my way through C++, ASP, .NET, PHP, JS, and lately drinking the Rails kool-aid.

    This could really be something else. I signed up and am #777 in line. I'm assuming this will be more worth the wait than Mailbox - and probably delivered about the same time.

    The build, check, tweak, rebuild is certainly the most time consuming part of any iOS development. This is a really great enhancement.

    There is already an example project on Github using Cocos2d in a RubyMotion app. https://github.com/anydiem/cocosmotion

    While it can't do all of that, you Blekko let's you use slash tags like /programming or /ruby to limit your results to specific, relevant sites. Definitely my go-to for tech querie…

    I'd highly recommend Blekko. It is by far the best alternative out there and they support tons of ways to get exactly what you need. Additionally, they run their own crawler so it'…

    You are allowed to overpay the IRS. If he'd like to pay more no one is stopping him from sending a check.

    I would venture to say that photo sharing apps are the PREVIOUS geolocation apps. While they may be new as phone apps (as opposed to web apps), people have been sharing photos in a…

    This is true (and SFO in San Francisco does not use the TSA). However, even the 5 private agencies airports may choose to use must follow the exact same procedures set by the TSA. …

    The author of the article is the one who rightly explains that the only thing that has made us safer since 9/11 is locking cockpit doors and the knowledge that passengers should no…

    That's not a goal. That's a fantasy world. There will always be a tiny fraction of people that want to harm others. Whether it is because they have an agenda or are simply crazy (o…

    Some of the items are regional (east coast/west coast), but Joe Navarro is great. His book on poker tells is amazing. Reading it is like taking off glasses the next time you play a…

    jQuery is the library of the present. LOVE it. It's made me look forward to writing JS in my projects, and that's saying something.

    I'm not sure I'd use it to the extent of the original poster, but I can think of a number of places it could come in handy. Like the ruby(&:function), frequently that is what you w…

    Spoiler warning When watching this the first time the facial expression at 2:29 clearly gives away the outcome. The pinched lips is a classic poker tell for discomfort in honesty. …

    I use Bugzilla at a place that was setup before I got involved. Too much noise for what we need, but too much legacy to change. Currently trying Lighthouse for a small 2 person pro…

    While an interesting examination, the problem with articles like this is they have lots of graphs and math to maximize dollars without any consideration of value that can't be stor…

    While Pixar may have "planned for 3D" from the beginning, I would bet cold hard cash that the director's preferred version is 2D and 3D is just what has to be done for the bottom l…

    It's unclear to me how a company that auctions off its only real product (eyeballs to advertisers) can be an anti-competitive monopoly. I will say that I firmly believe competition…

    The notes on the page says that it "works with Firebug 1.4" which is the current beta of Firebug. I can't tell if that means it works with it or requires it, but perhaps that's you…

    Yes and no. You're correct in that most CEOs aren't sending out resume "cold calls" or answering ads. However, even when you are suggested for a job via your professional network, …
