I have not yet experienced Japanese Curry before, but this writer discusses it in comparison to Heroin, “The only significant difference between the two is that eventually, if you stop doing heroin long enough, you are no longer addicted to it.” Anyway, I always like new things, and this one sounds interesting for sure.

I think I need this. It can help detect when a person’s mind wanders, and I’m the guiltier than Hitler when it comes to staying on topic. But when the mind wanders it seems that there is an indirectly very positive effect of coming upon other topics that when combined with the original might lead much more interesting ideas then the first or another tangential topics on their own. Yet another tangent. Point in case…

Maybe its just most useful when you really need to focus, like flying an airplane, driving a bus, driving a semi, drinking alcohol, etc..

This is pretty damn sweet. This (http://www.betanightclub.com/images/misc/Dance-Stack-Datasheet.pdf) is the speaker system at Beta Nightclub. It is definitely the loudest damn thing I have ever heard or felt. Your heart matches the beat. I have to yet to check out the amazing LED display upstairs too. I love working for Beatport

I typically just post by going to the web interface in the wordpress admin section. But I have just started playing with Flock, which is a pretty sweet social browser built on top of the same engine Firefox uses. It is simply an aggregator of all of your social sites (Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Picasa, delicious, etc…) and it pulls all the data from each of these sites directly into your browser. Very cool as well is the fact that it greatly simplifies sharing, bookmarking, and tagging content that you find while surfing the web. Problem is, Flock is a little too much for me. I still appreciate having some simplicity in my web browsing.

Point of all this is, I setup their built in blogging client to hookup to my custom blog on khadiwala.com. So, that got me to looking for other solutions to blog from Firefox, a browser that I can handle. Thats when I came upon ScribeFire. Hopefully its not a piece of crap, but I will report back shortly if I am pleased with it.

It definitely is a look into the future though: APIs that expose content and services that make it possbile for integrating local and remote applications. Bottom line: making content more accessible and life a little more simple. Definitely important as I am quickly getting burnt out with my current crazy life.

Immediate Update: So that picture up top was submitted from my computer to my site via API. So that was pretty freakin sweet.

Did you know that item is a freakin’ reserved word in IE? Me either, but the last well spent 45 minutes helped me learn that fantastic piece of information.  Yeah, I probably should be using something more descriptive than item, or prepending it with a single character to describe its data type (sItem), or a million other possibilities.  But getting an untelligible error, and a script debugger that looks at the right line in the wrong file just seems a little asinine to me. Why would I ever go back to using IE?

By the way, I do greatly appreciate the fact that thanks to Scriptaculous the rest of my code works perfectly in IE7, which was forcefully installed on my computer.

As Microsoft has always had painful products to work with, Apple is starting to become evil in the name of the bottom line, Ubuntu or any other flavor of UNIX is starting to seem much more appealing.

I’m about to buy a new laptop and I’m going to keep Windows so I can DJ, but I likely will do a majority of my dev work in Ubuntu so I’ll just have a 2 OSs on there so I can do something of use, like have a local development server that isn’t a pain in the ass to install, configure, and maintain. And does not at all represent the final host of the application. Unless there is an extremely good reason, I won’t be using any Windows boxes as web servers ever again.

Rant is complete, I feel better.

I love Beatport and I love working for Beatport even more. Cool article on WMC 2008 with a lot of focus on Beatport.
