Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Running Windows under Ubuntu to test in Internet Explorer

How to test Internet Explorer 6 to 9 in Ubuntu

The final purpose of this tutorial is to have a Windows (XP, Vista, 7) running a native installation of Internet Explorer (6, 7, 8, 9). Windows will work as a guest in on Virtualbox running on Ubuntu. We will also make sure to have access to virtual hosts configured in the host OS.

Following steps have to be run on Ubuntu (or whatever flavor of Linux you have)

Download disk images of Windows

First step is to download Windows Virtual PC VHDs for testing websites with different Internet Explorer versions . These disk images are installations of different Windows versions with Internet Explorer installed. It's perfectly legal to use to any of these images; free as in beer.

Once you have download them, you will find that they are RAR files and one of them is an .exe file. Just rename the .exe file to .rar and we can continue.
