Do we need more facebok applications?
June 10, 2008
My friend has 73 friends and 152 Facebook applications.
IMHO, the layout is lack of usability and functionality.
Let alone the fact each application require other users to install them in to their accounts in order to view standard web content (images, flash, videos, etc.)
I am sure Facebook’s dudes need to rethink the whole concept and come [...]

stefan fountain -> coding horror -> hacker news
Jeff - here are the links for you:
Google Contacts API: http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/
Yahoo! Contact API: http://developer.yahoo.com/addressbook/
Windows Live Contact API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463989.aspx
I’m glad these malpractices are getting more attention, they deserve to get the bad wrap on their wrist for these kind of infringements of respecting users’ data.

Is Facebook the next Microsoft?
January 7, 2008
I just came across this post by Robert Scoble
If you are trying to contact me on Facebook, please don’t. My account has been “disabled” for breaking Facebook’s Terms of Use. I was running a script that got them to keep me from accessing my account. I’m appealing. I’ll tell you what I was doing [...]
Getting things right vs. Getting things done
January 2, 2008
Most of today’s web developer will tell you that
the following:
<h2 id=”foo”>Click Here</h2>
<script>
$(’foo’).click = function(){alert(”Hello”)};
</script>
is better than:
<h2 id=”foo” onclick=”alert(’Hello’);”>Click Here</h2>
and the following:
<style>
body{
background-color:#ffffff;
color:#000000;
margin-top:3}
a{color:#0000cc}
a:visited{color:#551a8b}
</style>
<body>….</body>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
sf();
if(document.images){
new Image().src=’/images/nav_logo3.png’;

My brother thinks he’s a chicken
December 22, 2007
“… I thought of that old joke, y’know, the, this… this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, “Doc, uh, my brother’s crazy; he thinks he’s a chicken.” And, uh, the doctor says, “Well, why don’t you turn him in?” The guy says, “I would, but I need the eggs…”

Python vs. Lisp (Your favorite dish)
October 3, 2007
Using Python is like eating delicate gourmet foods. You know, great and innovative ideas, small portions, cheering up your mind, and tasting of the “Good Life”. Whereas using Lisp is like cooking that food.
Who made reddit?
August 18, 2007
Today I noticed that Aaron Swartz’s name is missing from the list of those who made reddit. For some reasons I think the name is missing on purpose.
When I read Aaron’s post Office Space, I felt the same as I felt When I read How Software Company Dies. These are the mistakes done every day [...]
Looking at gift horse in the mouth (or Google Reader is missing a core feature)
August 18, 2007
I know they said: don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Yet, since I have been riding on this horse for so many miles, I feel comfortable to point out few missing features I believe would make this a-grade web application even better.
I could not believe that a *Made In Google* application will miss [...]
10 Years of Rendering Proprietary Vector Graphic Content
August 11, 2007
1997 was the releasing year of Macromedia Flash 2. Since then, GNU/Linux became the most progressive operating system, mySQL is one of the most popular database on earth. Firefox has bitten and beaten IE, and Open-Source software is the hottest thing Intel processors ever calculate. Yet, at this moment, in case my artistic soul has [...]
