I bought the domain to force myself to do something with the free time I'll soon have an abundance of. I want to see more young programmers doing systems programming and making cool things with the language that forms…

Got invited to Djangy beta, sign-up link raised 500. Worse: They're running debug=True on a production deployment, and the error was a painfully simple import error (basically, urls file wasn't found). How am I supposed…

Nasreddin had a leaky ferry-boat, and used it to row people across the river. One day his passenger was a fussy schoolteacher, and on the way across he decided to give Nasreddin a test and see how much he knew. "Tell…

Got a job at a (now somewhat established?) startup in Mountain View. I'm aiming to move by the end of the month, but I could flex that if I had to (trying to avoid it). Details: I do own a cat, so you'll have to take…

The catch is optimally it'd be either a technologically difficult or socially significant project. I was inspired by an idea that was discussed on a different website about setting up a texting service for finding lost…

I need to have an at-home project now that I'm working on Python/Django at work. I'd like to learn something new, so I was thinking of checking out Java. What's the most well respected web framework for deploying Java…

I'm presently tutoring a student who is taking a C programming class. This student isn't a comp sci student (engineering discipline separate of computers), but really enjoys programming and seems to wish to do it as a…

Need to automate the pulling down of some processes and logs. The perl script has become horrid. I'm starting to rebuild it in ruby and it's going well, but I see that capistrano can supposedly do multiple ssh logins at…

I'm going to be getting a new laptop soon for a variety of reasons. Also, I have a list of necessities and niceties I'd like to see in a laptop. Reasons for getting a new laptop: 1. My 14" Dell 600m is falling apart,…

So, I'm just going to go ahead and put myself out there for the heck of it. Met a girl a few weeks ago, we really hit it off first night, then she ditches me for an older guy. Met a girl last Thursday, AMAZING night.…

I'm primarily a systems and applications programmer (C and C#) and I've been tinkering around in Dr. Scheme while following along with the SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) from MIT course. My…

Switching to T-mobile soon and want to take advantage of their excellent data plan, I also have need of a "rough" GPS device although a fully functioning one is a plus. I know my way around enough that just having…

So, I think it's time I took a break from programming. I...actually don't even really know what to say. It's 4 am, I've had 3 hours of sleep tops. I just had 6-7 waking nightmares about code in a row. I'm dead serious.…

Okay, my specialties lie in asm/c (C++ when I have to), debugging, code optimization, etc as a interest/hobby. I have worked in C# as a matter of profession and I would consider myself at least respectably familiar with…

I've been programming in some capacity since I was 8 years old (AT&T GW-Basic babeeeee) and am now 20 years old. I code primarily in C#/.NET (Can't do Mono, don't care for it.), C/C++, Assembly, Python, and I'm…

I don't have a blog, so I'm afraid my review/question will go here. My question, from the outset as I sit at this debian box, is why is the font rendering so good? This may seem like a strange question until you…

I mean a true digital library that has non-public works that haven't been expired yet. I've been working out a legal contraption in my mind combined with some locative ideas, and I might have some ideas for working it…
