Choosing the right (open-source) tools
June 22, 2008
From the announcement of the open source reddit:
There are only five of us who work on reddit; we couldn’t have made this site if it weren’t for a great community of developers. In no particular order, here’s a quick list of the open source products that reddit is built and runs upon: Debian, lighttpd, HAProxy, [...]
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.

Too Bad To Be True (or Dear Ray Ozzie: IE8 can’t handle Windows Live)
March 11, 2008
Yesterday, while walking from launch, my freind Amnon David (the creator of jNext) told me that IE8 doesn’t work on hotmail.com.
Since IE8 release gained lots of credit by JavaScript Hackers (John Resig and many more), therefore, I couldn’t believe it until I saw it in my own eyes.
Plain and simple, the site is broken. Icons, [...]
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’;
