I couldn’t agree more. It simply doesn’t make sense and the 1st of April is still far from now, so everything seems awkwardly true.

Night owl
There’s some truth in the article. I’ve been into that in the past and I will surely be in the future.
Cycloramic
This is by far one of the coolest and smartest use of the device capabilities by a mobile developer. It might not be one of the most useful apps out there, but it shows how brilliant some developers can be by making the most of the limited hardware features available on a smartphone, as some others… Read more »
Berlin
As you might have noticed, the about page of this site says that I’m now in Berlin, and I will for a year more or less as I’m trying to learn German, for what would be my fourth foreign language after English, French and Spanish. It’s hard to define what “tough” means in language learning, but… Read more »

Release cycles
Insightful article from a former Mozilla developer who explains how Firefox is losing users for the benefit of Chrome, and his interesting perspective on software updates in general.
Cloud9
Cloud9 IDE is a great online editor that stays in the cloud, so it’s available everywhere and has some interesting features like realtime collaboration. I’ve quickly given it a try adding the FTP account of this site and it works great, it’s like Coda in the cloud, with all the advantages that come with it.
