This is great. But I still have a colored GMail logo. How did you get the ASCII lookalike logo? - Edit: Ah, I know. I'm from Germany. We have a different logo (Google Mail instead of GMail). Not adapted yet. bummer... But still: My new default theme. - Ryo
I thought it would be cool, but I actually used it for about 3 minutes. - Amit Morson
not sure for that chat cloud, otherwise fine with me - last time I touched IBM/360 in 1991... still love green/black alphanumerics ;) - silpol

"I like how clean it is, and you’re right, the absence of the sidebar is pretty good, and I’m sure we’ll more blogs without it… But in the meantime, I think there’s some tweaks needed in the comments, they’re hard to read, I mean it’s difficult to differentiate each comment… It’s too black&white, it’d need some grey… Anyway, the design brings more focus on the content, and that’s the most important. Keep up the good work!" - Oli Kenobi

"The Detroit Red Wings may be feeling a twinge of embarrassment after their 3-2 home-opening loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, in which the Stanley Cup champions passed the puck like a remedial-level pee-wee team. That is, until Def Leppard's Joe Elliott redefined the concept of embarrassment during one of their NHL Face-Off Rocks segments at the Fox Theater in Detroit. This is what you get for booking a band from England: Drive on the wrong side of the road, place the holiest of holy hockey grails on a pedestal upside down." - Vincent X

“Interesting. Just saw something that suggests that C++ is still more popular C# for hobbyist programmers which goes against what I've been told a thousand times over (e.g., C++ is dead!). Of course, VB still leads the pack which makes Yuvi happy and me confused.”
August 5 at 6:55 am - Link
Hah! Case-insensitiveness ftw! Try explaining to a naive wannabe programmer why A != a - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
38 more comments
For the same reason "I" is grammatically correct and "i" isn't. They aren't the same symbol. They don't even look the same. Case insensitivity is for the birds. - Mark Trapp
PHP is more fun$variable-name = error $variable_name no error! have fun coding, code monkey! ;-) - Igor The Troll
What I can't get over in VB is that the language itself uses capitalization yet it's case insensitive when it comes to user keywords and variables. - Akiva Moskovitz
probably because .NET wrappers != .NET - Tim Hoeck via NoiseRiver
I think it depends on what field, but private inhouse development that you never hear about is the vast majority of all development and there is a lot of legacy there, not that C++ is only for legacy apps. But I guess it isn't surprising. - felix
@Akiva - VB9 appears to use TitleCase 'coz VS formats it so. Maybe the reason why it's considered more verbose than C# - Caps take up more pixels. - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
I think it's more verbose because of "End If", "Dim As", etc. They just only recently added a ternary operator. "OrElse" instead of "||" ;) It's definitely more verbose. (I like VB. I use VB every working day. But it's definitely not as concise as C# (which I never use)) - James Williams (willia4)
felix, that's true but what makes this statistic surprising is that it's specific to hobbyist programmers. Can't say where it comes from exactly because I'm under NDA, unfortunately. Of course, now that I think about it, it could be skewed a little since most university CS programs still emphasize C++, don't they? - Akiva Moskovitz
@James - Casts? Semicolons? I *hate* casts. Optimizing for special cases = shitty. - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
@Yuvi -- We turn on Option Explicit and Option Strict on so we actually tend to do quite a bit of casting. DirectCast(foo, BarType) is much more verbose than just (BarType)foo. ;) - James Williams (willia4)
Akiva - My CS program started us on Java moved us to C, then taught us C++, then let us do whatever we wanted. - James Williams (willia4)
@James - Okay, I agree that it's more verbose if you have Option Strict on. I have Option Explicit On, Strict Off :D - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
@Yuvi I'm a big believer in static typing in general. (I like ObjC where it can easily go either way). (Edit: replaced "strong" with "static") - James Williams (willia4)
@James - I'm a fan of just-strong-enough typing, not the IronMan v40 type strong-typing as seen in C#/Java ;) - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
Probably all the "I'm going to become a leet games programmer, and other leet game programmers tell me that C++ is what I need to learn" people. And most CS departments tend to have switched to Java (the good ones teach Lisp/Scheme, Haskell or Ruby first, of course ;-). - Tom Morris
Yuvi -- That's just because you've not chased down enough bugs where things just made absolutely no sense (because the type you think an object has isn't the type it actually has). :) - James Williams (willia4)
@James - Like? Example? - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
Tom, Java makes my heart and head ache. I've tried learning it several times but I could just never get into it (although I really like Eclipse). - Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, ahh, huh - yeah, misread that part of your post. That is surprising! Although, I'd guess it involved an aging hobbyist programmer group. Back in the day, you could choose from C++ or C, these a days most hobbyists are probably opting for php and what not. - felix
I've definitely run into that sort of thing over in ObjC/Cocoa when I've overused the id type. It will try to send a message to an object which doesn't respond to that message and weird things happen. I don't have any specific examples, though, as it never seemed noteworthy enough to document. Less so in the .Net world, if only because my employer mandates Option Strict. ;) - James Williams (willia4)
Akiva - First time I seriously tried getting into Java, I was shocked to find that they had no Properties. - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
@James - but seriously, I code with Option Strict off and haven't run into issues like you describe. I've run into many facepalm situations, but none were 'coz of type mismatches. - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
C# +1 - Jordan Hofker
Yuvi -- This is the eternal debate. ;) While I like my religious arguments as much as the next geek, in reality I'm a big proponent of "Use what works. Getting the job done is the important thing." - James Williams (willia4)
@James - we belong to the same religion then ;) - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
Are we actually having an argument for VB? Ugh... Are you kidding? VB? *Super hide* - Bwana
Bwana - VB has lambdas now! It's a real (incredibly verbose) language now! - James Williams (willia4)
*screams* It has XML Literals! - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
What, no one else has to code in Lotus Script? *ducks and hides, because I do have to* - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
And to think my original goal was to spark a conversation about C# and C++! - Akiva Moskovitz
@Akiva - ofcourse, you Invoked me here :P BTW, if I weren't fluent in C++/STL, should I learn it? - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
Oh. Sorry about that! I don't really have an opinion about C# as I never use it or C++ as I have avoided it since college. - James Williams (willia4)
Yuvi, a good thing about learning C++ is that you get to learn about parts of programming that .NET and scripting languages shield you from. Memory management, destructors, pointer arithmetic, etc. You'll probably hate it, though, because, y'know, it has semi-colons and brackets but, more seriously, because things that are handled automatically by .NET now have to handled manually by you. Chasing down memory leaks are not what I call fun times. - Akiva Moskovitz
Not this hobbyist programmer. I do a lot in Perl and Vim script, and a bit in Lua. - Morton Fox
This frustrates me because I don't want to learn Java but I also want to get away from Microsoft. There are plenty of .NET jobs off-campus but there are plenty more in Java-land. Being a C++ developer just sounds so much more bad ass than being a C# or Java programmer. And, as you all well know, sounding like a bad ass is more important than having widely employable skills. Yeah! - Akiva Moskovitz
When I was studying CS 4, 5, 6 years ago, the introductory programming classes were in Java, after which they switched to C++ in order to teach data structures and advanced algorithms. And then there was assembly for logic design & all it's low-level friends. I liked C++ a lot, but I have very little experience with C# since I have been in web development ever since. - Tom Harrison
VB is just so bad. It's like reading text without punctuation. - Oli Kenobi
Lots of VB hate. Must be from the 6 days.... - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
Yuvi, don't sweat it. C-based programmers just hate the shift key. - Akiva Moskovitz
anyone for Pascal? - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ

That is a bold statement, Hakan... How many clicks does it take to VPN on a Windows machine? - Mona N.

Had a number of both of them and couldn't agree more. - Steve Isaacs
I like my friends to have a pulse, and not be overhyped machines. - Amber aka SDA
I've had Windows, Linux, and Macs. Suffice to say, I have made the switch, and have no problems. At the risk of beating a dead horse with teh same stick, I'm going to leave it as: It changed my life. Efficiency and simplicity FTW - Mona N.
Real geeks would rather have machines than friends... I'm just saying. - Jemm
I think it is true what Hakan says. MAC is a friend who has high restrictions and a wide private space which is always under control of her father. Windows is a machine who can't understand itself well. I believe linux is a machine which can understand and do everything if you can choose your words wisely. - Doruk
Waits for Steve Jobs to invent the Icondom to go with his computers :D - Earl E Morningwood
Same as Mona, it changed my life. I'm going where the experience is the best (easiest and smooth), right now it's with Macs, maybe tomorrow will be with Linux... - Oli Kenobi
Platform agnostic is the way to go. Cultism scares me. - TDavid
My network is my friend... any individual machine is just a node. I upgrade hardware and components regularly... no need to get attached to one. I will say that Windows has done much, much more for me than MacOS ever did. The huge installed base and the commodity pricing of the hardware have both allowed me to make a living for my whole life in the technology industry in a way restricting myself to Apple products never would have. - Soulhuntre
Choices FTW. Cross platforming is possible on my Mac...? Simplicity = efficiency = productivity = results. @Soulhuntre: Like leaving surprises in the registry? I like Easter Egg hunting, but not when it comes to my machines. Just saying... - Mona N.
Good analogy. Another thought - Windows feels like you're using someone else's computer, one owned by Microsoft. - Jason Kaneshiro
What TDavid said. Cultism = teh scary - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
Oy vey. - Akiva Moskovitz
And the same Windows echo echo echo.... - Mona N.
A computer is not a friend. A computer is a tool I use to communicate with friends. - Morton Fox
I've been told that all Macs are female. - Thomas Hawk
@Thomas - Maybe. I name all my PCs female ;) - Yuvi (has IRL friends!)
I am glad folks use whatever environment they feel most comfortable in. I frankly was born without the fanboy / cult gene so it's not something I get all upset with. I wills ay I get much, much more done with the amount of hardware I can easily afford from non-apple vendors than I woudl have paying Apples prices all this time :) - Soulhuntre
I think hardware has reached a kind of automobile position in most people's daily lives: you don't have to understand internal combustion to turn on the key and go. Most folks will stick with what they know or are at least familiar with. @Soulhuntre makes a good point: it's now all about the cloud. I'm waiting for the 15" touchscreen OLED wireless cloudpad. The iFloat? - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
In the past, I've played and worked (ok, "professionally played" ;))) with as small a computer as a Commodore 16 (your microwave oven timer is way smarter than that!) all the way up to Cray and IBM multinode mainframes, and pretty much anything in between. They're instruments, some of them have you stand in awe at their design, both hardware and software, some of them - erm - not so much, but "friends"... a pet is a friend. Go out and get one ;) - dario
A Mac is a luxury, A PC is a necessity. - Satya Boora
a mac is a utility, a pc is tool - Alemsah
Too many mentions of Windows. How come - only true MAC competitor is Linux - ie Ubuntu - Migger

3 - Krishna Gade
I asked this same question a few days ago. I usually go through about 3. - James Ferguson
One (then refresh.) - Czar
usually 1 page & refresh but i also scroll through all my rooms & specific friend's pages - i think this may be different than the way most use it but that is the beauty of ff - to each his own - i still am using it as a presence aggregation tool sort of like an rss reader on steroids ;) - mike "glemak" dunn

depending how many times a day i check. if i didnt check for few hours than i go up to 3 pages back, but usually its not more than one page and F5 thereafter. - Hayk
2-3 pages usually...then park on page 1 and refresh - Jack Wilson, K4SAC
1st few entries + blog. I can always change it later if it doesn't work out. - Vincent van Wylick

Sometimes I got back 9 or 10 pages. But, new stuff is always coming in bumping everything around. - Yolanda
Usually if I'm really into it like 5. I usually go through each of the feeds I subscribe. Cause sometimes I wish there was a way to get rid of (friend of). But be able to turn it back on. Cause I wouldn't of found Mona N without that. - Shawn aka ringking

1, sometimes 2. and Best of the day. - BeeLing
with the pagerization-greasemonkey-script active on my firefox I sometimes go 5 or more pages back. depends on my mood and free time. usually it's just the first and the best-of-page though :) - marcel weiss
Almost never use "Friends" tab (only when everything else is boring) (1) My feed (2) Check people who liked/commented my thread & their discussions - click through to other people - esp. Robert Scoble, Louis Gray, Mona Nomura, Polly Roberts (3) Best of (4) Best of - 100 posts (5) Everyone by service - 100 threads (6) Friends - 1 page (7) Friends - 100 posts (8) Friends - 4 pages #0-399. - Mitchell Tsai
Normally one, but I also frequently scan the first 100 items of the individual feeds in my "followed and following" bookmarks folder - Slippy Lane
I read as many pages back as i need to... in order to find where i left off the last time i was on FF. Now that the 11 limit is gone, i often go into the 20s if i haven't been on for a day...... I can't believe i'm the only one who does it this way?? (and it takes some time too!) - Ňicķ

+1 Tad, for the suggestion :) SF is awesome on so many levels. The vibe, culture, people... I came back here, after the East wore me out :). But I have a straaaaaaange feeling, I'm going to be moving soon (again!) - Mona N.
Cyndy: Where are you? - Mona N.
I've never lived anywhere else either. Fort Worth, TX. - Yolanda
Sydney > Sunshine Coast, QLD > Perth, Western Australia > Bunbury, Western Australia > Melbourne. How did I end up in Melbourne, my wife woke up one morning and decided to apply for a job here. She got the job 3 days later and we were going. She didn't discuss applying for the job with me, she just decided one day to do it - Duncan Riley
When I completed my contact in the middle east, I flipped a coin. heads =CA , tails =AU. IT landed Heads :)- so worked my way to Canada and Toronto is the city which has a rich cultural diversity. So thats my story :)- SO back Tracking looks like YYZ=>DXB=>MCT=>BLR. Cities that I lived in. - Peter Dawson
Went to school in DC and came back a few years later because I loved it, still do... I'm here for the foreseeable future but not for the rest of my life... not sure where I'll end up though - Shawn Duffy via twhirl
Pensacola. My radio gypsy life brought us here. The marriage and job went away, but I didn't. While this is the longest I've stayed in one place, who knows what the future holds? - Chris Baskind
I'm thinking San Fran or Seattle next - maybe once we're able to sell our house at a profit (10 years probably). I want to live from my 50s on in a place where I can get fresh seafood every day and live amongst progressive, optimistic people. Any other suggestions? - Tad, TV's Patrick Duffy
Mona, I'm in Rochester, NY - Cyndy
Moved to Los Angeles from Cleveland about 8 years ago because I needed to do a full reset. It worked, and California has been very good to me. I like it here for the most part, but I miss weather and stars and clean air, and I hate the traffic. Planning to move to the SF Bay area soon to be closer to my wife's family and our friends up there. - Michael Hocter
My mom thought the schools in NY were too violent. We came to Atlanta and they were just as violent and a lot less educational. I knew we made a mistake when the principal said "On yesterday..." during the morning announcements. I like it here, though. Don't think I'll ever leave permanently. - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
Rahsheen: "on yesterday..." wow. yeah. i hear stuff like that quite a bit everywhere. - edythe
Russia->Israel->NYC->Osaka->Bangkok->Osaka->Mars! - Igor The Troll

Where am I from? I don't know but I think I like it this way. {Edit} So that's India->Muscat->Bangalore->Hyderabad->Bangkok->Toronto - Kamath ॐ

Long story short, I was taking a break from school (Tucson, AZ), buddy 1 of mine was graduating, buddy 2 offered me a job at a startup, so I turned to buddy 1 and said, we're moving to San Francisco, and he was down. Moved to SF in May 2000 and never looked back. The dot com went under, I finished school, was a preschool teacher t
