Don't want you to know about (in blinding colors). Tuesday, July 22, 2008. Real-life Superpowers, part 1.

We here at IT appreciate the diversity of web frameworks and methodologies that have arisen or gained popularity over the last few years, and we've had our filthy paws over and into a few of them.

Don't want you to know about (in blinding colors). Thursday, January 17, 2008. Ibuprofen, Naproxsyn/Naproxsen, and Aspirin: Don't overdo it. My girlfriend just got out of the hospital after having a bleeding ulcer as a result of taking ibuprofen, among other stressors. Just a heads up, any of you who read this, go easy on the ibuprofen, because the effects can be very bad. If you are unlucky, and it is surprisingly common. Written at 11:25 PM by Justin George.

Don't want you to know about (in blinding colors). Saturday, June 28, 2008. Git tricks I've been using a lot. Git add - patch. Incredibly helpful for splitting up your patches into atomic commits. I use this like mad when I've made a few different types of changes between committing. (e.g. I find something that needs refactoring in the middle of adding a feature). For hairier tasks, don't forget it's older brother,. Git add - interactive. Git rebase - interactive. Git checkout -b branch name remote/branch.

Code on the Road: Navigating The Minefield that is Visual Source Safe. Such a no-brainer. Why do you even try VSS to begin with? Get the Subversion plugin, grab SVN, and 99% of these things go away.

Don't want you to know about (in blinding colors). Friday, December 14, 2007. When you're serving static files. Never link http:/ yoursite.com/foo/bar/x to:. A) plain http:/ static.yoursite.com/foo bar x.ext. B) Never use plain hashes of the ID. e.g. ./hash of id here.ext. C) Borderline, but even static salts are bad: ./hash of id plus 'foobar' here.ext. Or, alternatively, as better people than I have mentioned, use bcrypt with a set difficulty value, and all your rainbow table type fears go away.
