Not exactly a FAIL, but not full of win.

Yes, phone numbers exist in a dizzying array of notations, but if it’s also a valid dotted quad, at least give me the option of treating it as one.

The mail server had a separate 80GB partition just to hold email; and it was completely filled. The queue directory contained such a preposterous number of files that wildcards such as ? and * could not expand. That meant there was no immediate way to list only the Sendmail “q*” files, which would have contained some clue as to what went wrong.

The Great Cascade - The Daily WTF

How much of a geek am I? I was reading this humorous but true story, saw this passage, and immediately thought:

ls | grep '^q' | xargs ls -l

That’s how much.

I always have to stop and think when setting a border radius in CSS, so I built a tool for it: border-radius.com.

Genius in its simplicity.

Another day, another JavaScript framework to learn!

This is actually my favorite thing to do, sick as that is.

The constant learning is probably why I’m so different from my cohort.

Dojo Toolkit Resources?

I have a sudden need to learn it, so I’m looking for recommendations of books and web resources, both references and tutorials.

Where should I start?

LESS - Leaner CSS →

LESS embraces CSS, and any additional functionality it comes with, is integrated in such a way as to make it as seamless as possible. Thus, you can gradually move your CSS to LESS, or if you’re only interesting in using variables, or operations, you aren’t forced to learning a whole new language.

shutup.css is a custom user stylesheet you can install in your web browser which will automatically hide the comments section of many popular web sites. My gift of a quieter, saner web to you.

mind == blown

jacob:

I just realized that you can’t have a Javascript variable and an element ID with the same name in IE. That’s what this is trying to tell you:

Object doesn’t support this property or method

That’s because IE automagically creates JavaScript variables for any elements with an ID.
