Not-so-fun fact: only 91 out of 1200 notebooks in stock around Sweden feature matte displays. Most of them are probably EOL. WTF happened?
@jncoward Don't agree about Ruby being so diff. from JS: OO, closures, dynamic typing- heck Java is more diff. and Google managed to do it
@jncoward But I think the awesomeness of code like <script type="text/ruby">5.times { puts "oh hai" }</script> speaks for itself
@jncoward I never said HotRuby was the new hotness (it's really dead :P), just that its intention was right.
@jncoward But going through YARV is a bit clunky, I'll give you that (esp. since it's dead). A direct solution using e.g. ParseTree = nicer!
@jncoward No it wouldn't. HotRuby JIT compiles YARV bytecode into ECMAScript which runs in-browser. Cooler than precompilation from YAPL imo
@jncoward I'm not. I dislike a lot of the Java space, but it's like comparing meerkats and elephants. It's pretty obvious who's the elephant
@jncoward Also, in a world where Java syntax is nice, GWT features a Java to JavaScript compiler. How I've longed to do web UIs Swing-style.
@jncoward Think of the craziness that would ensue. Client-side Rails anyone?
@jncoward YAPL :) Why note use an existing language, e.g. Ruby? HotRuby ran a subset of YARV bytecode in ECMAScript (http://hotruby.yukoba.jp/diy...)
Using GIMP to create a hackergotchi for the #lo planet.
There. Refactored my blog template, added bits and pieces here and there. Now it's as XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant as possible ATM :)
I love removing code :)
Cool! Tumblr actually does provide an auto-generated sitemap (http://my.intel.st/sitemap.xml). SEO win.
@emanuelferm Now that's Microsoft talk ;)
Slightly new blog design -> http://freeasinbeard.org. Still a bit of CSS refactoring to do.
Also had the opportunity to seriously try out Mercurial. Verdict: I think I'll stick to #git ;)
Working on a few patches that improve the LaTeX formatter in pygments. TeX macros and Python in symbiotic harmony :)
Just revived my old Nokia 3310. Best. Phone. Ever.
Holy JavaScript codebase Batman! @cdibona on @FLOSSWeekly, Google Wave contains about 2 MBs of JS before minification.
RT @codinghorror: moms4moms has finally arrived.. http://moms4mom.com/questio...
Actually, no. I'm bored with this. More fooling around, please ;)
Ok, enough fooling around. Back to business.

Doing a cost-benefit analysis case on moving to an open source IT platform.
Listening to the #chronocross OST and dreaming of a pre-rendered world enshroud in lush colors.
Picked up #odinsphere, got pissed at it, put it down again.
RT @merlyn: RFC 2119: i love your pic and i say you are hot and i will become your... http://merlyn.posterous.com/rfc-211...
Listening to the #chronocross soundtrack yet again. Pure beauty and greatness. Yasunori Mitsuda is a genius!
