devinrhode2 / writing
Created April 1, 2012 03:01
writing a gist
writing. We do it all the time. And I've just realized that I prefer writing a gist. Why? All I do is type CMD+ T, "gist" ENTER, and -write-
Now I don't even know what I came here to write.
...Backtracking in my tabs, reading a profile on OkCupid where this person described that the only thing they know for certain is that they love writing. They've wanted to do it since they were 12. Recently talking with David Adewumi, a mostly honorable entrepreneur I worked for for a bit, he asked "So what do you want to do?" I responded "I don't know, if I knew I'd probably be doing it"
Between these two points, I decided I'd come here and write out exactly what I want to do, and work up from there.
-I want to meet a great girl to spend a lot of time with. Would be amazing if she was also into startup, technology, and I'd melt if she could also code.

My Nodester app 503's no matter what I do!
Try upgrading to node 0.6.12, assuring these 3 things are exactly as described in your base folder package.json file:
{
"name":"rhodester",
"node":"0.6.12",
"author":"devinrhode2"
}

UA-Sniffing-FTW
The internet abroad doesn't believe in UA sniffing. Maybe it
complicates things too much. I believe we can have a hybrid.
I thought hard about this. What the hell is so wrong about UA sniffing?
Ok, what if we don't have a user agent? I almost took the excuse:
"well, 90% of the time we'll have a UA (if not 100% of the time)
so, why worry about the 10%?"
EVERYBODY deserves the best experience their browser is capable of.

String concatentation errors suck!
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.innerHTML =
'if (window.top !== window) { '+
' var subFrame = document.createElement("script"); '+
' subFrame.src = "'+chrome.extension.getURL('specific/sub_frame.js')+'";'+
' document.documentElement.appendChild(subFrame); '
'}';
document.documentElement.appendChild(script);
//gives "unexpected end of input", with no line numbers!

Like, basically PERFECT scrollbars
/**

It's pure CSS.
Since a quick google search will confirm people going crazy about Mac OS Lion scrollbars...
this has no fade-out effect.
In Mac OS Lion, the lowest common denominator is always showing scrollbars by a setting.
