FYI I am testing out CloudFront with this track, so I apologize if your first attempt to play the track failed.

Haha, so they are. And for *once* I might just act on it!

Literally 33% of your responses are SPAM!

This is interesting, but I would not encourage people to broadcast *everything* saved to delicious onto Twitter. I would not do this myself, and I would not particularly want to read.

OTOH, I would like tighter integration: specifically push the links that I shorten with bit.ly to delicious (unshortened).

Wow, things have really changed in the 8 yrs since I last tried capturing OBD data.

Back in the day, you couldn't just claim something on the Internet was valid without quotin' an RFC. These days Wikipedia is the shortcut:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_address#Sub...

The problem with plus sub-addressing is that it's an MUA feature, and not functionally specified in RFC 5322, which defines email address formats. RFC 5322 3.2.3 lists the following as valid characters for the local-part of an email address:


   atext           =   ALPHA / DIGIT /    ; Printable US-ASCII
                       "!" / "#" /        ;  characters not including
                       "$" / "%" /        ;  specials.  Used for atoms.
                       "&" / "'" /
                       "*" / "+" /
                       "-" / "/" /
                       "=" / "?" /
                       "^" / "_" /
                       "`" / "{" /
                       "|" / "}" /
                       "~"

The definition of sub-addressing is in RFC 5233, "Sieve Email Filtering: Subaddress Extension". That one's pretty obscure, and you always find 5322 if you go looking for the format definition. But of course web developers don't read RFCs, they just copy magickal regexp incantations that they find on the Google.

Excellent call, Ajit. The Unforgettable Fire has that incredible soundstage from recording in the big stone castle. It feels amazing.

Also, Brian Eno.

Thanks for sharing the moment with us, Bijan--it's inspirational.

How do you feel about the scratchy sound of vinyl after all these years on digital?

Re: New turntable brings back old memories

bijan — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:42:36 -0000

Not scratchy really

Its more like smooth. Don't know how else to explain it.

That should work! Not everything has a Phono stage these days, tho.

We look forward to your blog posts decrying how thin and lifeless the digital versions of your old vinyl favorites sound by comparison!

I'm sure you'll like the Rega--I've got one myself. Just make sure you connect it to a quality phono stage preamp. So you'll need a new Preamp, preferably one with tubes. And that won't sound right unless you've got a tube amp, preferably a vintage Mac :)

Surprisingly, male Waxing Off displays don't appear to have a positive effect on human female mate selection.

But seriously, you need to friend me on XBL and taunt me with this superhuman achievement on a daily basis. Seriously amazing, IF TRUE.

You're in for a treat! Totoro is more lighthearted family fare than Nausicaä and Princess Mononoke, but you can see his major theme of girls finding their inner strength.

Thanks Brian! I'll make sure Jace sees your comment! If you know of any Boston companies/startups looking for someone with Jace's talents, feel free to pass the link along ;-)

What's new over at Betahouse? I really wanted to attend Resig's jquery briefing but missed it. Interesting events coming up soon?
