Exige & Survolt

I bet it would be possible to put the body of this http://www.topspeed.com/cars/citroen/2010-citroen-survolt-ar85734/pictures.html onto this http://www.grouplotus.com/cars/showroom.html#/exige/exigeCup/ .

I like the futuristic look of the Survolt and concept of the Exige. So together... they'd be awesome!

Scientists supersize quantum mechanics : Nature News

via nature.com

I think one could sum this up as: wtf.

Read the article, read it again and then... hell I don't know. It's weird and I can't explain it but it's cool. Very cool. Somehow...

Clients From Hell

Client: “The site looks great, but I need you to do another one too.”

Me: “Umm, ok? What for.”

Client: “You know! You made the website on a Mac so you need to make another one on a PC for people who don’t use fancy computers like you.”

via clientsfromhell.tumblr.com

A funny yet scary blog of what is supposed to be true feedback from clients.

The worst part of this is: I can relate to some of it...

Spirited Away - drikin.com

via drikin.com

I just started using it and I like it. It hides all the apps you are not currently using. You set how long it should 'wait' before hiding and you can exclude apps that shouldn't be hidden.

I like it! You should perhaps try it as well ?

Mr Kevin Cornell is one funny guy. And he must be a good carpenter since he always hits the nail on the head.

Debugging your PHP Code: XDebug on MAMP with TextMate and MacGDBp Support | TechnoSophos

via technosophos.com

Just realized, when I set up a mac for dev, that I was missing the debugging stuff I had installed on another mac.

So here it is, for me to remember and you to find out.

My tip would be: forget about MAMP and go with MacPorts instead. There is something funky about MAMP that just makes me feel less in control. The blog post is still valid and worked perfectly: I was debugging my code in less than 3 minutes!

Oh... and check out abcde if you are using MacPorts.

Tweet = Twitter + Quicksilver

Jay wants to know how to post to Twitter from Quicksilver. I don't blame him.

via blog.codahale.com

I just can not believe that I haven't thought about this before: posting quick updates to twitter via Quicksilver. Sure: it doesn't count the characters for ya but if you know it will be a short tweet, why not?

I have one little tip for ya: if you do have more than one twitter account and you want to force Quicksilver to only use one, change this:


set twitter_key to first Internet key of current keychain whose server is "twitter.com"

to


set twitter_key to first Internet key of current keychain whose server is "twitter.com" and account is "your_account_login_name_here"

The blog post will tell you all you need to install, run and start tweeting through Quicksilver! And Twitter will also show that you used Quicksilver: plus one hacker karma points, right?

"It's like twitter. Except we charge people to use it."

via 27bslash6.com

True? No? Yes? Maybe?

Regardless: this is fun. And scary. Since this could all be true. Considering that I've had the pleasure of listening to folks talking about their clients that acts just like this.

Anyway: enjoy! And good night!

Netvibes Wasabi Edition

via wasabi.netvibes.com

I've tested the beta-version of the next version of Netvibes and I like it. It's fast and the news reader is, to me, a good alternative to Google Reader. Google Reader is another beast all together, of course, but Netvibes is looking better and better.

Under the hood they are using Tokyo Tyrant: speed and disk space are the reasons. Regardless its working pretty good and I've yet to find any bugs at all. IE6 doesn't look like it is compatible but who uses that old fart anyway?

Porrsurfning på kommundatorer - Expressen

via expressen.se

Underbart! 80% av bandbredden på kommunens datorer används till porr eller fildelning. Fildelningen förekommer mer på skolnätverken medan porren är lika distribuerat mellan skolor och kommunanställda.

Kan vi inte få en likadan jämförelse i 'maktens korridorer' också? Tänk att FRA måste vada igenom all den där 'äckliga' trafiken för att få tag på de riktiga skojjarna bland oss...
