foz··on If your client has a problem with a site, send them here and ask for details
yes, removing the gradient and :hover CSS would probably clear that up.
foz··on Poll: How much sleep do you get per night?
I have also found that reading a "real" book in bed is the most effective way for me to fall asleep.
foz··on Under voter pressure, members of Congress backpedal (hard) on SOPA
Why is there not a referendum process in national US politics? It seems the only way to prevent government officials from passing this kind of legislation is through public outcry on the internet (and mass media, if they listen). People should be allowed to reject this kind of thing through a real process. Special interest has a bigger voice than the people most of the time. Referendums work in Switzerland (usually, let's not talk about minarets).
foz··on Sublime Text 2 Beta released with Auto-complete and Improved UI
TextMate 2 has `rmate` which lets you edit a remote file from a terminal session: http://blog.macromates.com/2011/mate-and-rmate/
foz··on BitTorrent takes on Dropbox with personal file sharing
Did anyone actually bother to try this? it seems to be uTorrent.
foz··on Anatomy of a Kernel Hack
Don't forget RAK, the ruby gem (works the same). gem install rak.
foz··on Crafting the worst interview process in 8 easy steps
Unfortunately, the same kinds of companies love to do the same thing to "vendors".

Multiply the time wasted by 5x and throw in a 10-page proposal, and you have what is called the RFP process. Huge amounts of time wasted in writing, crafting solutions, meetings, and budgeting. And all for no response. At. All. That's what having your own development shop is like.

foz··on Galaxy Nexus Power Analysis: Why chargers can't keep up with navigation
Using Navigon in 3D without a charging cable, the iPhone 4s will last only about 1 hour on a full charge (the power drain is extraordinary). With the cable plugged into the car, I can navigate indefinitely. If I start out with a drained battery, I can plug it in the car for Navigon, and when I arrive at the destination, the battery is always fully charged (for trips > 1hr).
foz··on TimeHub. Create invoices from Github commits
I agree that commit messages should be clean and relate to the code. I would not want to see time logs attached to commits for many reasons.

Perhaps another idea might be to attach the time log entries using git-notes. Maybe this would allow time to be tracked in git, on a per-commit basis, but not pollute the commit messages?

foz··on Webdesigners: please make text readable
I followed the links in the credits to the two designers who made this site (http://richard.gazdik.name/ and http://www.kirowski.com)... to my surprise, both sites were using tiny low-contrast text. Huh.
