Find the bug!
farktronix:
My officemate just found a bug in some C code. I wasn’t able to notice it by looking at the code, but it’s a head slapper. Let’s play find the bug (code changed to protect the guilty):
- (void) handleState:(stateEnumValue)state { switch(state) { stateOne: handleStateOne(); break; stateTwo: handleStateTwo(); ...
Urban Word of the Day
March 26, 2008: Lawyer Ball
The art of playing the rules instead of playing a game. For example, trying to work out a walk in slow-pitch softball. Swing the bat, you puss!
Also applicable to weenies who demand free throws after the slightest contact in a pick-up basketball game and d-bags who take yardage penalties in backyard football games.

Because no one has to walk around with cigarettes attached to their hands all day.
Very interesting. One of the biggest issues of contention between me and my ex-girlfriend was that I wouldn’t quit smoking, while she wouldn’t quit biting her fingernails… all the damn time. I guess we both thought our struggle was more difficult than the other’s, so...

There’s already some great muxtapes! The ability to discover relevant new muxtapes will be the very next thing I do after a couple bug fixes. Also coming soon: M4A support, RSS feeds (last minute omission from the launch schedule), more customization, many many many other things.
Alright, alright, so it’s “in beta.” Like every other web service in existence. But it...

Apparently Jakob Lodwick has never heard of blogs, pandora, deezer, blogs, hype machine, the radio, youtube, or ListenIn or blogs.

About an hour ago, Justin Ouellette solved one of the largest problems of our culture: it is very difficult to discover new music.
Muxtape succeeds where other discovery services fail. Finding and listening to new music is now personal.
It’s also fun, elegant, and hi-fi. Well done, sir.
Really, really nice. Congrats, Justin.

Create your own instant mixtape - so easy it’s ridiculous (via jstn and starting a tumblrfire).
It’s cool, I agree, but how is it anything more than a clever front-end for Amazon S3? (Alright, I’ll admit I’m impressed with the UI in that it’s entirely Javascript, including playback. Clever enough, I guess.)
