There are so many things right about this app. The lovely watercolor, miniature sketchbook icon. The marketing site. The “take this everywhere life takes you” video above. And the undo gesture: Place two fingers on the screen and draw a circle counter-clockwise to undo and clockwise to redo. (Though the number of undo/redo...

Nobody Gives A Damn About Google+ →
parislemon:
The reality of the situation sure seems to be the opposite. The only people I know that use Google+ regularly are people who work at Google (and Robert Scoble).
I use Google+ everyday, but only for Google Hangouts with Extras (for the Google Docs integration). Google+ itself is of no interest to me.

Hello, fellow code monkeys.
Look at your editor. Now back at mine. Now back at yours. Now back to mine. Sadly your editor is not like mine. But if you stopped using noob-scented editor, and switched to Sublime Text 2, your editor could look like mine.
Look down. Back up. Where are you?
You are on a desk with the editor your editor could look like.
What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have...

What a frustrating day!
Nearly six hours to fix my internet connection…
…and it was (almost) all my fault. :(
The story goes like this: many years ago when I first got ADSL I setup up a dedicated firewall/router using IPCop using a spare 486 box. It worked, and worked well.
Recently it started showing it’s age. Odd errors, spurious failures and taking far too long to boot up. I had a spare Pentium III box...

One of the questions we always get asked at meet-ups and conversations with other engineers is, “what’s your stack?” We thought it would be fun to give a sense of all the systems that power Instagram, at a high-level; you can look forward to more in-depth descriptions...

Bouncing around
As part of my new role as a team manager I want to make sure I’m readily available for both my direct reports, and the internal customers my team services.
This means getting clever with my IRC setup.
Since I first got an iPhone I’ve used Colloquy for IRC, which has “bouncing” (sharing a single connection between multiple clients) and push notifications, however these...

OR, The longest, most awkward dinner of my life
tl;dr version: I’m really glad to have an iPhone 4S.
(Note: this was written over multiple days, spaced weeks apart.)
I approached this experiment with a lot of questions, the primary of which was quite simple: why do people use Android? I had my own preconceived answers — they dislike Apple or couldn’t get an iPhone for...
