Got linked to this article today, NoSQL Data Modelling Techniques. I don’t think I’m going to have the time to read it, but I skimmed it, and maybe someone else will be interested. It talks about various data modelling strategies and their implications.
Doing some research on Peter Norvig (I’m fascinated by the guy and want to know what he thinks) and I found a talk of his: Peter Norvig: What to demand from a Scientific Computing Language. In the talk Peter explains what he wants out of a programming language and why he feels that Python fits the bill.
I watched the whole thing but I think I’ll put it on my TODO list to watch this again one day.
Today I was looking up the syntax to create a MySQL database from the command-line and found instructions on Snipplr. I haven’t seen snipplr before. I guess I’ll have to spend some time one day browsing the popular snippets.
I was just confirming my understanding that JavaScript numbers are 64-bit (i.e. double precision) floats on all platforms and I stumbled upon this old article from Douglas Crockford: A Survey of the JavaScript Programming Language.
Found myself looking up the syntax for CSS overflow. I think I ended up using overflow-y instead to get scrollbars on the y-axis only. I should know more about this stuff than I do. :P
Found myself looking up the syntax for the JavaScript setTimeout function today.
I used the jQuery.browser interface for the first time today to put in an IE hack.
Doing some research into CSS based drop down menus. Found 25 Scripts for Dropdown Navigation Menus. The ones I like the most are All Levels Navigational Menu and particularly jQuery Multi Level CSS Menu #1.
Learned about Apache module mod_macro today.
