Hello World, encoded and embedded into a wheat field in Germany.

Time to encode random silliness in semacode yourself, and find creative places and ways to post it, somewhere in the world.

Ah, the Web at its finest: reading an article about JavaScript misconceptions led to discovering JSLint which made me curious on whether there’s a bundle that’ll integrate it into TextMate.

Confusingly enough, JSLint and JavaScript Lint are not the same. Nonetheless, I found more than I bargained for: Andrew Dupont’s JavaScript Tools is a TextMate bundle with JavaScript Lint and JSMin integrated.

Now I just need to integrate the latter into my nanoc Rakefile, so I can have readable JavaScript code on my end, and minimal code (saving everyone’s time and bandwidth) on the server.

Not with this kind of story: “Man admits urinating on ill woman”

The 27-year-old shouted “this is YouTube material” as he degraded Christine Lakinski, 50, who had fallen ill, magistrates heard.

But if you insist, reddit also provides us with a mildly WTF story on programming: “Only $0.001 per Line”. Really, though: you get what you pay for.

What’s a good sign your software has “made it”, reaching beyond niche status? Well, these days, one way of telling is if events focus on it.

While Denis was strangely not notified, it would appear his nanoc project has now reached that status, which is even impressive if you consider how young it still is.

Titled “Agile Markup with Ruby: nanoc and heel”, Upcoming lists a Spanish appears to (I hardly know any Spanish) focus on leveraging and enhancing nanoc in order to accomplish a low-resource, high-performance website together with heel (a suitably lightweight webserver).

This page lists some people I know, such as Luis Villa of Planet GNOME fame, although the Luis Villa listed on it is not the one you might know from Planet GNOME. Aaaand there’s an announcement in the form of a blog entry.

But really, it’d be good to have a Spanish-speaking person confirm the above, since I’m mostly interpreting text in a language I have never learnt.

Branched off Windows NT 5.2 (the basis of Server 2003, XP x64, Windows Home Server, etc.), the Windows Research Kernel should be a relatively recent representation of what Windows’s underpinnings look like. “For academic, non-commercial use only”, but nonetheless worth taking a look at.
