Re: Addiction Is Not A Disease Of The Brain : 13.7: Cosmos And Culture : NPR

Agreed. It was an interesting (philosophical) point of view, but doesn't change anything.

Nope, works great for me too. Even on the iPad's Mobile Safari. It was clunky when I first used a full size photo in the header (it's only scaled down by the browser), but that was just me being stupid.

I love 7:) But "iTouch" ? Many people call the iPod Touch that, so do you think Apple would name it that ?

Re: Is This The First iPad (Apple Tablet) Commercial? You Decide

No way. That´s a normal OS X desktop, plus fugly work on the commercial.

Just as this post is obviously not just a coincidence, this is exactly why this wednesday will be so exciting (or so the rumours have it..). It may be the first real shift in the computer UI paradigm for that many years. And I know it´s just rumours, but knowing what they already have with the iPhone (and AppleTV) and how the form factor of a tablet demands changes (as opposed to what HP, Dell, Microsoft, etc. has thought so far) I think we will see something new.

Re: Xcode & MacRuby: Embed, Compile, Fix

I love these posts, Carlo, being a newb to desktop apps, or rather the coding (except for Visual Basic some time in the past) and the compilation of them. And I´m too very intrigued by the prospects of MacRuby. I have however already fallen in love with Ruby on the web.

Thanks for writing this up. It will be interesting to follow the MacRuby project, and see whether it will be powerful enough to replace Obj-C as the default lang for mac development in the future.

Jeg smurfer hele dagen lang, men det er min arbeidsgivers abonnement så jeg slipper heldigvis å telle Mb (eller tellerskritt!).

Did you ditch dailymile and prefer motionbased ? Why ? Just curious.

Re: Is This Stupid?: My Nomination for Stupidest 2.0 Site of 2008

Thomas B — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 16:27:05 -0000

Ok, I *may* have missed a bit on the semantic use of "stupid" here, English not being my mother tongue, but I wholeheartedly agree with the second paragraph in your comment though.

I´m sorry, but this doesn´t seem that stupid to me. It obviously has a number of loyal users, even if it is a niche site. It doesn´t seem that badly built either. I´m not especially fascinated by manhole covers, but I can´t judge those that are, at least we all need a hobby. And you said yourself that Japanese manhole covers "granted are much more interesting than their US counterparts". There´s a lot of "stupid" collector sites on the internet (without mentioning all the other types of strange and stupid sites) from collecting pens to pictures of airplanes, and this site at least has the sense to mash up all the data collected instead of only keeping it in html tables etc. I may be biased as I have an uncle who is obsessed by trains and pictures of train bridges etc., but I think we can do better than this when finding "stupidest 2.0 site of 2008". "Most strangely enthusiastic" perhaps ?

Having said all that, I will add that pictures of manhole covers and roadside flowers are the most obscure collector items I´ve come across, and it was given that a man was behind the site (all male members too perhaps?) as men are more prone to obsess about collecting like that. I´m very fond of old Norwegian portable radios, but I wouldn´t dare dedicating a site to it now :)

Re: Xero API + Ruby Revisited

Thomas B — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 05:13:36 -0000

Being a rails noob this looks like even I could use HTTParty. Maybe a stupid question but would the code above be in a new class file "Xero.rb" just as above ? How would the methods be referenced from other Rails controllers ?
