felixthehat··on TweetDeck Discontinues Support for AIR, iOS and Android Apps
I'm still using the 'yellow' version, it's flaky but I love it. What a shame. Any other good multiple column/facebook-integrated desktop apps worth looking at?
felixthehat··on The Next SoundCloud Becomes SoundCloud
I love the new design and have been using the beta for ages - the only thing that irks is that it steals the spacebar key to play/pause rather than scroll page up/down.

Also, a great bit of UX detail worth noting is that it prepends '▶' to the page title when audio is playing, so you can see which browser tab sound is coming from - something all multimedia pages should adopt!

felixthehat··on Notch trying jsFiddle
To be fair, that's the description notch used in his tweet: https://twitter.com/notch/status/275331530040160256 :)
felixthehat··on Kim Dotcom Avoids “Unsafe” .Com, Picks Me.Ga for New Megaupload
It has to be said, that's one of the worlds best domain names. Can't have been cheap!
felixthehat··on Github: Major Service Outage
You do hear rumours of mafia types holding sites to ransom by DDOS... that was one of my thoughts
felixthehat··on Enter Darth Vader's Tie Fighter
Amazing work, great model. really clean. Reinforces that IE is really messing up by not supporting webGL. Works smooth as butter in chrome for me.
felixthehat··on Chrome DevTools could do that?
It's pretty amazing from Safari to plugged in iPhone in iOS6 using the new remote debugging. I have to mention coda2 & diet coda airpreview for iPad specific live debugging too, and Adobe's new edge inspect works well too (I've been using all three today for a responsive iOS site)

felixthehat··on Valve hired their first wave of Linux developers, hiring more
Exactly this, I'm a designer, and I like the look of ubuntu, but it's no macOS, it's hard to see an advantage that linux has over macs apart from the price - but designers need fast (expensive) machines anyway. No Adobe is the reason I can't even contemplate a switch.

I love blender though, my 3D tool of choice so at least 3D artists are well catered for.

felixthehat··on Delivering the Windows 8 Release Preview
Exactly this! Win+i is the shortcut btw ;)

People are going to bitch and moan about this - with good reason - forever.

My other peeve is that you can type in to Win7 search start menu for everything, but in metro start menu, you type 'sound' for example, it doesn't appear, you have to select 'settings' first.

Otherwise, love the new design, super snappy too, but that could always be the fresh install smell.

felixthehat··on Delivering the Windows 8 Release Preview
Definitely! Although, I've found http://www.splashtop.com/win8 to be really useful for testing apps on an iPad
felixthehat··on Blender 3D: Noob to Pro, free ebook
I had a slow job for a year, so I bought Essential Blender and went through it chapter by chapter when bored, I'm no expert but I can now model reasonably well - you can also read it free online here http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.4/Books/Essential_Bl... - but yeah it's 2.49 focussed, and the new 2.5 is considerably better/different - here's something I modelled after a month or so http://www.blackspike.com/site/3d/technics-1210-3d
felixthehat··on Push Browser App Should Make Chrome’s Apple Fans Happy
