Comment on Bus Watch, a quite useless idea by Arthur

You dont realize the significance of what you have written. “a quite useless idea!” Exactly the oppsite. EXACTLY.
What you need to do with a gumstick computer is this: Ride the bus to the next stop after yours. Look for the spot on the road where its 10 Mins exactly past your stop. Put a gumstick on a rooftop, with a motorcycle battery. Have the gumstick sniff for the bus, when it passes, ( 10 minutes prior ). it should Log something to a website, as each bus passes, it can update the website for the departure times. All you have to do is set your alarm to turn on your computer, and see when the last log was.

btw, WHERE IS RONNEBY?

Comment on The Inner-platform API anti-pattern by David

By the way Per, what is your opinion about the Inner-platform API above?

Absolutely Per, much better!

My suggested version of the API did not take full advantage of the available HTTP verbs.

Isn’t the “create” part of the URL the fourth example? Why not just http://server/user instead of http://server/user/create and use the HTTP verbs to decide if its a createUser request?

POST http://server/user (create a new user and let the API decide the id)

Then if you need support for “getUser”, “updateUser” or “deleteUser”, you have the possibility to use:

GET http://server/user/97580 (get information about user with id=97580)
PUT http://server/user/97580 (create, update or replace user with id=97580)
DELETE http://server/user/97580 (delete user with id=97580)

Thanks Danne, I actually have it bookmarked already but I decided against adding another dependency at this point.

I use this code to work with more advanced “tooltips”.

Comment on Convert mailman translation to UTF-8 by CJP

Thank you! Mailman’s archive looked like a puzzle with question marks where all the swedish characters were supposed to be. It would have taken me days to figure out a solution, and it wouldn’t have been this elegant.

Comment on Remote control of XBMC, but not too much by David

You can actually pull it from https://github.com/twogood/xbmcweb – but beware that it assumes that it can resolve “xbox” in DNS. The most interesting file is probably application/services/Xbmc.php.

Hi there,

Would you make this public? I would be interested in something like this.

Thanks.

Oh yes now I remember, my kitchen computer runs Unity, and I don’t like it very much. Gnome 3.0 seems more interesting to me.
