  Bread and Circuits — Authority: 125
  To my students working on Processing.js , I wanted to share a video that Ben Fry linked to on Twitter today (if you guys were all on Twitter this would be so much easier, btw).  You don’t have to be able to create things like this yourself: helping to enable the tools that are used to build them is part of ...

• text-decoration: underline

  
  Bread and Circuits — Authority: 125
  An unfortunate side-effect of removing underlines from links on a web page is that one can easily miss side-by-side links.  Here’s an example from a blog I was reading today: How many links are there in that section?  One?  Two?  Three?  The answer is three, but just like with this image, you can’t tell ...

• Doing without

  
  Bread and Circuits — Authority: 125
  I’m reading papers right now, written by my students about their experiences attending open source talks at FSOSS .  Quite a few of them are thinking about the problem of the economics of open source, looking at business models and comparing them to closed source companies.  In the middle of this, Al shares a ...

• Rich client

  
  Bread and Circuits — Authority: 125
  Tomorrow will be the 14th day that my email has been broken.  I’m just going to call it now, because I’m done expecting it to get fixed.  Our IT department has bungled this so badly it has left my colleagues and me speechless.  There are official statements like this one , which leads me to believe they ...

  Bike Commuters — Authority: 418
  Yesterday morning during my commute down Lincoln Avenue in Chicago I came upon two lovely tubes across my path. Recently – due to lots of construction along this Lincoln Ave route – I’ve been detouring to the Lakefront Path, but I’m glad I took the route down Lincoln on Monday. I counted! These tubes are ...

• Student Contribution Opportunity

  
  Bread and Circuits — Authority: 125
  I came across a couple of bugs today in the Thunderbird code that need a fix, and they are both easy fixes for a student looking for contribution.  Basically, in DXR I have a C++ parser to create HTML files with markup versions of source code.  My parser chokes on 2 files, because someone did a bad thing and put an ...

• Running Treehydra and Dehydra scripts

  
  Bread and Circuits — Authority: 125
  Today I learned something new.  Last night I integrated callgraph into dxr (I’ll blog about that later, once I rebuild dxr indices for mozilla-central and comm-central), and that meant that I needed to be able to run a Treehydra script in addition to my existing Dehydra one .  Dehydra scripts are basically ...

• Failure as contribution

  
  Bread and Circuits — Authority: 125
  Since I’ve got some time to kill here while I wait for just about every piece of software I need on my box to rebuild, I thought I’d reflect on what I’ve been doing the past few evenings.  I want to try and show what I mean by “contribution” when I ask my students to contribute to other projects .  At the ...

• I’m hopeful, too–PatchCulture.org

  
  Bread and Circuits — Authority: 125
  My friend Mike Hoye has done something important for the web : It’s small, just a start, but the world doesn’t work this way yet and I think a lot more of it should. PatchCulture.org is live. Might work, might not. I’m hopeful. This is exciting for me because it’s the realization of the thinking I ...

  RedEye — Authority: 626
  A rider wrote to "Going Public" with a complaint about concrete bus stop pads. The CTAs response is after the jump. "It seems that no one is paying attention to the cost to the city/CTA in placing concrete bus stop pads throughout the city due to the overweight buses that are crushing our streets and sewer caps. To ...

  A number of colleagues have pointed me at Joel Spolsky’s latest post, Capstone projects and time management .  In it, Joel argues for the inclusion of real-world projects in computer science programs and laments the near universal dismissal by (top) schools of any grounding in things like version control, ...

• “Could you explain to the students what you are proposing?”

  
  Bread and Circuits — Authority: 125
  Sure, I’d be happy to do just that.  Yesterday I wrote about the new Mozilla course getting underway this week in France, and today Didier (Desiderius on irc in #education and #comete ) spoke to me on irc looking for info about the projects his students could do.  When I wrote yesterday, I ended by saying ...
