Human Computation
meat →
People keep asking me to blog this, so I shall. It’s really exactly what Alton Brown would tell you. Needed:
Meat, such as rib roast or lamb leg
Roasting pan
Probe thermometer with…
Flickr Stats too limiting and does not allow to see what caused traffic to my stream to double 2 days ago. Grr.
It would be cool if there was Skitch to Tumblr integration.

Watching an interesting video about human computation. http://tinyurl.com/hkg6z

Avoiding looking at ancient PIII. I’m afraid that it may have given up the ghost without a backup. Argh.
Opera leaking embedded video outside divs. Bad Opera.

24/7 Wall St.: The Twenty-Five Most Valuable Blogs
First pass at invites landed. Sorting through wreckage now.
Enjoying muxtape and more than 1GB of RAM in Mac Mini. Good day.
2GB mem module. Check. Putty knife. Check. Screwdrivers. Check. Time to upgrade Mac Mini.
Erk. New Apple RAW update does not include support for Sigma DP1.
Debating if I should upgrade the firmware on Infrant NAS. The 4.00 release definitely has performance issues. Grr.
varnish working! Only 58% hit tho. More tuning/config needed. Now on to postfix fun.
6 tags
sample varnish config
Decided to try varnish, the relatively new squid alternative out. Here’s what I have so far. I’m getting about 66% (very limited testing, YMMV) cache hits with this setup but am missing some things for caching Rails sessions and content. With appropriate tuning/configuration, I am sure the hit rate could be much higher. If you have any suggestions, let me know and I will update this.
...
Finally got Flash on FF3 portable. It’s a pain.
Experimenting with Varnish. Debugging strange mail issues. Erk.
Giant killer potholes in Berkeley.
Interesting Google Tech Talk vid. Email 2.0. Imagine Twitter with large messages with secure transports. http://snurl.com/2208j
Twitter Feature Request: icon to represent a link instead of in message body. URLs take up too much of msg body even with shortening svcs.
To watch any YouTube video in higher quality, try appending &fmt=18 to the end of the url. Try it!

Places of a Lifetime, Places, Travel, Tips, Photography - National Geographic
New fangled ATM with check scanning at BofA. Massive FAIL. Took twice as long. Unnecessary and unwanted “improvement”.
Very happy to find Firebug working on FF3.

Routes recognition in rails and why speed matters
Debugging JS keyboard events. Would be way cool if Ragel could output JS. kthxbai.
Wishing the internetz would just move to FF3 already.
SFPD is crap. Try fighting some crime instead of issuing tickets. http://marc.perkel.com/archives/000015.html
Wondering why there is no Rails ActiveUser? User create/login/reset has been done umpteen times. Add option for flex data fields. Fin.
Listening to The Gourds version of Gin and Juice. Awesome.
Apple SDK downloading… Slooooowly.
