If you blow a tech interview because you are greatly under qualified and honestly don’t know the things required for the job, but they still give you an offer anyway, DON’T TAKE THAT JOB. It’s a trap. It most likely means the people hiring you are less competent than yourself and you’re going to be [...]
It’s pretty funny that we actually have Microsoft to thank for the original XHR. Makes you wonder what else is hiding in their R&D labs.
This guy is so great. First JSON message failed because of JavaScript limitation on not allowing reserved keywords as name part of object literals.
This Greenhouse business is ridiculous. Most downloader-type applications are. Do I really have to: Download the Greenhouse installer (2.6M) Â Open the file only to have it immediately start downloading what I can only assume is the core of some bit-torrent-esque windows client (Indeterminate size) Start the application to go download the FREE content I’m looking [...]

Here’s the interface for managing users in a version of postNuke that we are running on one of our websites: 40,000+ items in a dropdown box FTW! The HTML for this weighs in at around 2MB by itself. I hope this is fixed in a more recent version.
These stats on Google Reader’s keyboard shortcuts are pretty interesting but what would really be great is a way to reliably open up the original item in a new tab. The ‘v’ shortcut seems to act differently depending on the item and I can never quite figure out why this happens. Often times the original [...]
