To be fair, no cat video watching on the Newton though
colszowka··on DigitalOcean announces second Amsterdam datacenter
There seems to be a heavy rush on the region at the moment, creating a 1gb box took 17 minutes, now I'm waiting for 5 minutes for a power-off to enable private networking... `sudo shutdown` worked, but the admin job queue seems to not check on that. I'll try again tomorrow :)

This is actually somewhat big news because, considering the relative popularity of Digital Ocean, this alleviates 2 blocker pain points for european customers:

* The AMS1 region used to be out of available droplets quite frequently, and in recent weeks it was entirely unavailable to book new ones (at least for me)- which is bad news for scaling existing installs. * The AMS1 region did not have private networking

The fixing of these two points with the new region makes it much more reasonable to deploy multi-node environments to this region.

Yay! And private networking, too!
colszowka··on Web GL Ocean Simulation
Hitting ctrl-+/ctrl-- on chrome leads to interesting results :) Impressive demo, kept staring at it for a while pondering the exciting future the web platform has in it.
colszowka··on Why does the alarm clock snooze button give you nine extra minutes, not ten?
You're right, it's more like "ah, it's not 8:50 yet, I can snooze..."

For me this looks like this: "I've hit the snooze five times, it must be 8:50, oh hey it's actually only 8:47. I SHALL SNOOZE ONE MORE TIME!"
colszowka··on Essential Tools for Starting a Rails App in 2013
Some additions:

* The better_errors/meta_request/binding_of_caller combo for error pages with in-browser REPL and for Rails Panel chrome dev tools tab

* foreman for launching processes

* pry as a debugging tool

* lograge/quiet_assets for cleaner log files

As the project author, I will not include simplecov here, but I would normally drop that in there too ;)
