notes on "how to clone delicious in 48 hours"
december 2010 by soypunk
I see these types of post ("write popular service X in language/framework/tool Y over the weekend") rather frequently and I often wonder whether I'm just being a cranky old man or if the various US CS education programs aren't preparing these folks.

OFFICIAL AUTO-MEME API VERY VERY NICE
may 2009 by soypunk
Returns inspiring bits of text such as "COINS OR GTFO" or "HOW IS RAPTORJESUS FORMED?". It is basically a generator for 4chan-like one-liners. I'm struggling to think of a legitimate use for it.

ArticleHereComesTheSun - doctype - Magic properties make Firefox synchronously load the Java plugin - Google Code
february 2009 by soypunk
" It turns out that Mozilla Firefox treats window.sun as a magic LiveConnect property. (I tested with Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6 on Windows.) What's LiveConnect? It was introduced in Netscape 4 to allow plugins to be scripted. Accessing any magic LiveConnect property will start the Java plugin -- even if your code has nothing to do with Java."

"If you visit the armoury in firefox they return an XML document with an XSL stylesheet referenced in the header that transforms the XML into a web page. Why are they doing this? It must be a huge amount of work compared to just serving HTML, I don’t get it. Let’s ignore that."

"jCquard is a generally useless JavaScript library that you will probably (hopefully?) never need to use — unless you are the nostalgic type, you like to roll with the old-schoolers, or you are convinced that the end is near and soon all we’ll have left are stacks of punch cards with which to rebuild the entirety of our culture."

Maybe the greatest news story of all time: "A burglar who broke into a home just east of Fresno rubbed food seasoning over the body of one of two men as they slept in their rooms and then used an 8-inch sausage to whack the other man on the face and head before running out of the house, Fresno County sheriff's deputies said Saturday."
