My blog has a new theme. Classic Tim flavor, new box.
This might affect you if you were subscribed to an RSS feed. I think the themes have their own RSS URL structure. But, if you were subscribed to http://www.timrosenblatt.com/blog/, then you should be okay. Of course, if you were subscribed to the old one, you […]
I’ve been practicing my drums lately. I’m better now, more than before.
Before I start the links, here’s an article I found discussing how serious drummers can be more physically fit than top athletes. So um, I’m not making noise, I’m exercising!
There’s some links that I wanted to have handy, and I figured I’d […]
MySpace announced they’ll be creating OpenIDs for their users. Although, it’s not full support for OpenID — users can only use their MySpace logins for other sites, but not for signing into MySpace. I’m not sure why they do this, I doubt it’s for any technical or spam-prevention reasons. It seems like a business decision, […]
Continue reading about MySpace + OpenID. Can OpenID have blinking text and bad HTML?
If you’re involved in the process of writing code on any real level, you should be a reader of Coding Horror. It’s written by a guy named Jeff Atwood, and he’s definitely got something going on between his ears.
There’s a good post from a few days ago talking about “monkey patching” which brings up […]
This Gorbachov music video is insane. There’s some Russian history going on, and some metal, and some hot girls with Twinkies. This video is bizzare, but totally awesome.
Thanks to Corey for the link.
If you’ve ever worked in IT, watch The Website Is Down. It’s one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a while. If it’s not funny to you, you’ve never worked in IT.
Finally installed the very excellent reCAPTCHA plugin for WordPress. I like it when my posts get comments, I don’t like it when the comments are spam. So, if you look at the comment field on this blog, it’s got the reCAPTCHA interface hanging out, keeping us safe. Also, reCAPTCHA helps decode books. Awesome!
You should post […]
I wanted to cover a nifty-looking service that’s just launched — Gnip.
It’s a simple premise: instead of asking every social networking service what’s going on, Gnip will tell you what’s up (they’ll even POST it to your website). They’re going to be — Atlas-style — lifting a huge weight off of social networking providers. I […]
I came across an article on BBC talking about advances in health care in the past 60 years. Honestly, 60 years isn’t that long, considering the changes that have occurred were previously unknown to humanity. So, a lot of assumptions about things have to change. Getting in a car accident; getting shot; damage to organs; […]
I’ve been writing a lot of JS lately, and I wanted to take this opportunity to drop some knowledge right here.
Lots of languages have support for some type of for-each-looping. This is great for looping over associative arrays, and even regular arrays, since it’s a bit cleaner than the standard for-loop. Sadly, Javascript doesn’t totally […]
