Protip: If you want to speed up an S3 static website with CloudFront, configure the distribution as a custom origin and not as an S3 bucket.
Ugh, HSBC has really made it hard to log into their online banking site. At least I now know I still have funds in my UK bank account.
Successfully signed up for a business iPhone Developer account today. I'm sure it will take much longer to get the new certs installed.
Ooh, Netflix has open sourced their Cassandra client for Java. Now if I could just find a use case that justified it: http://techblog.netflix.com/2012...
I haven't sent a proper snail mail letter for ages. I hope the pack of "forever" stamps I found are still valid.
UIManagedDocument makes Core Data calls too easy. I have to be doing something wrong…
I don't know how I survived so long without a decent JSON extension for Safari: https://t.co/zXQorsob
Uncomfortable time sitting next to a couple on a first date: "You are so different from me. Why were you interested in my profile?"
Spent the day reworking the app to use Storyboards so I won't embarrass myself next time I hang out with @blackgold9.
It still looks a little icy outside, but I really dislike working from home. Wonder how far I'll get before I give up. #snowpocalypse
A real quick DynamoDB test shows EC2 client side latency of 10-15ms for writes and eventual reads, 60-180ms for consistent reads (ouch).
It's obvious from the DynamoDB documentation that the author didn't understand real JSON and confused it with something else.
I really wish Amazon would use real JSON and not try to invent their own flavor. application/x-amz-json-1.0 is NOT an acceptable MIME type.
The DynamoDB data model looks surprisingly like Azure's Table Storage.
Well, my access to the AWS live stream lasted for less than five minutes before it stopped responding. That's how you operate at web scale.
Trying to wrap my head around DynamoDB. Quick first impression: it looks *really* expensive to use.
So far I'm not really impressed with the #snowpocalypse. Let's see what things look like in the morning.
Uhm, so Wells Fargo, it would be nice if the email said you didn't make my scheduled payment first rather than making it look like you did.
I may be in the minority, but I really like the debrichterification of tweetie's bizarre and nonstandard UI conventions Clean, simple, easy.
Yay! It only took me all day, but I finally got a Scala / Akka HTTP / asynchronous Servlet 3.0 web app deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk!
I think the most I ever used the Google TV was the half hour or so it took to run the initial setup.
Wondering if I should even bother plugging my Google TV back in to get the upcoming system update.
Building a project with SBT looks cool but I can't seem to figure it out. Switching back to Maven, which I know will work.
The new deposit feature at the Wells Fargo ATM was pretty cool. Scan check, OCR amount and email receipt. I just don't get many checks.
If I wanted to be one of the cool kids, I would write my next project in Node.js. At the moment, however, I'm leaning toward Scala.
My first day as an indie software developer and I'm not sure what to do with myself. First plan, go out for a long walk because I can.
I almost forget to turn off my alarm now that there's no need for me to wake up at any particular time.
