I was shocked to find out this morning that Visual Studio 2005 did something I don’t like.
It made :

Foo f = new Foo( “bar” );

Into:

Foo f = new Foo(”bar”);

You may not notice the difference, but I do. I’m a big fan of style, mainly because I like clean looking code.
For the same reason, […]

Quite a few of you probably know about Technorati.
If you do, chances are you know about RSS. For some reason, Technorati doesn’t RSSify all of their site. I felt cheated by this. So why not create my own?

So, taking some inspiration from Michele Campeotto and his flickruploader, I created a simple python script that looks in […]

Boing Boing: Roll-your-own RSS: Hollywood Video new releases:
I’m a subscriber to the Hollywood Video MVP program. This is something similar to NetFlix, but is limited to movies that are 4-6 weeks past DVD release.
I’m tired of going into the store not knowing what has been recently added to the MVP list. Which means […]
