Comcast has decided to impose a 250GB/month limit on their customers. I have a lot of friends that use Comcast for their internet service provider and are likely to hit this limit, even counting fully legit data. Linux isos aren’t small. And I know that I do a lot of backups and [...]
Via the ever-wonderful Andrew Weissman who echos someone who has a somewhat more sarcastic approach than I prefer to music, manufactured or not. Description of the band, the band page, single on amazon and a myspace band page.
Enjoy!
Update: Sigh. I keep thinking it’s Friday. It’s not. I know.
David Humphrey has a post up about the upcoming Mozilla Toronto DevDay. It’s taking place on Monday Sept 15 and Tuesday Sept 16 and is worth checking out if you’re in the Toronto area.
I’ve added a new feature to whoisi. It will now keep track of things you haven’t seen:

Once nice thing about this blog is [...]

This episode should really be called the “Brendan show” because he does most of the talking. But if you’re into JS or you’re into programming languages in general it’s worth [...]
Since Stuart landed the Qt port into mozilla-central the other day and Ryan Paul wrote an article on Qt and Mozilla I thought it might be worth it to add some context to that work.
Ryan’s article contains this quote from Nokia developer Oleg Romaxa:
