Why do I love to use gist as a blog engine?

The case for Gist blogging

Why to bother?

The posts people write in blogs can be classified in two groups:

  • those that are going to be (or should be) maintained, expressing the real time information (like books one reads or read, todo lists, lecture notes, etc),
  • those that express the momentary thoughts of a writer on an event or activity.

Maintaining the post

While first ones can be managed using standart blog engines (livejournal, blogger, etc) via «Edit post» option, that’s hardly

Smalltalk syntax on a postcard
exampleWithNumber: x
"A method that illustrates every part of Smalltalk method syntax
except primitives. It has unary, binary, and keyword messages,
declares arguments and temporaries, accesses a global variable
(but not and instance variable), uses literals (array, character,
symbol, string, integer, float), uses the pseudo variables
true false, nil, self, and super, and has sequence, assignment,
return and cascade. It has both zero argument and one argument blocks."

How to download a streaming video with Google Chrome

How to download streaming video

Streaming just means a download that they don't want you to keep. But Chrome's developer tools make it easy to access what's really going on under the hood.

Open Developer Tools

From the page where you want to download some things, go into your chrome menu to open the developer tools. You can either:

1.  (On a mac): Command-option-J
2. (On a PC): Control-alt-J
