google maps api

Just found out this… typed my city in change.org, and it filled out the city, state and country… I was amazed. Looking at the network panel, found out this call: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js/GeocodeService.Search?4sporto%20alegre&7sbr&9sen-US&callback=_xdc_._t9nhk5&token=32861 And opening this on a new tab, checked this result:

New Blog Engine or Jekyll?

So, I’m a little tired of WordPress. Sorry, dude. When I want to publish something, I want to write in markdown, save the file, commit and BAM! It’s published. I had high hopes on Posterous but then you have spaces, too many features… blablabla. And then you have email html parsing, never looks like I [...]

MacOS .htaccess not setting php_values [SOLVED]

So… I’ve spent a good amount of minutes trying to figure out why my local Apache wasn’t setting php_values, because everything seemed fine… actually it was ignoring .htaccess completely, and the httpd.conf was with AllowOverride All. Just couldn’t get what was going on… Then, I found out that my MacBook has a /etc/apache2/users directory, and [...]

Instalar Modem 3G Claro no OS X Lion

Sabe o que mais admirava no Steve Jobs? O ponto de vista do “it just works”. A Claro, ou Huawei, alguém, não pensa do mesmo jeito no Brasil. Estou num café baixando drivers do Huawei E226 para fazer esta joça funcionar no mac com Lion, e eis o que descobri até agora: O driver na [...]

8pen

The cool thing about being google is that they can hire some smart heads to invent things. The iPhone keyboard is the best alternative so far, but wouldn’t be a better way to input data onto a mobile device than having to use a miniature keyboard? Welcome to 8pen. At least looks very promising…

Acessando Dropbox por Proxy

Dropbox é muito bom. Podes criar várias pastas sincronizadas com N computadores, começando com 2GB grátis (podendo a chegar a 8GB com recomendações) compartilhar pastas, tem a pasta pública disponível ao mundo, onde para copiar o link basta um right click… realmente impressionante. Mas dependendo as configurações de proxy que estejas usando, não há como [...]

Melhor Captcha

Eis o captcha que mais me agrada. Não é completamente infalível, mas isso dá pra contornar transformando a operação em uma imagem com ruído. O que gosto é que além de prevenir bots, exige que o utilizador esteja sóbrio e não seja um chimpanzé… Só acho que a operação poderia envolver pelo menos dois dígitos. [...]

"The art of bonsai tells a story through living illusion. A bonsai artist searches for ways to express his personal creativity by mixing form and thought in a miniature world." Now imagine a bonsai made of bits. That's code to me.
