Pastes are Forever
So every now and then I hear something like this: I think the one thing missing from pastie is either a paste expiry date or a way for the author to delete the paste when it's no longer needed. Pastie doesn't have expiration dates on purpose. Pastes are forever. Why? Because I think it's way too ...
Sometimes pastes are abusive and are removed. Also there is a very low threshold where the system decides _no one_ has ever looked at a paste in so many months, so it must not be of any value to anyone - and it is removed.
But generally any paste that gets more than just a few hits in a few months is retained forever.

Pastie is back online now. :) Box ran out of disk space. :)
Vincent Munier fails the iPad test
I first heard of this photographer via a video with footage and photos from his Nikon D3S ... I really wanted to check out his website, but it was not to be. Obviously his talent lies in photography, not HTML5 and web standards. :-)
To Beast? Newer and better things calm along... altered_beast (on github), etc... not sure if the original Beast source is still online anywhere... it was pre-github. I just checked Rick's URL and it's 404 now..

That's a carry over I think... probably goes back a bit to the days when computers were more shared resources and people didn't have one in every room of their house. Still I see the point... if passwords weren't secure by default I'd want at least the option of making it secure (when people are around).
Although you could argue that should be a client decision... the server just says "hey this is a password field" and then I decide if I want it to be shown or hidden... I think the default should be hidden though.
I have debated not hiding the password though on some projects, but I've always come back to hiding it so far.
Password retrieval should require e-mail address alone
Never make me give you two pieces of information to retrieve my password unless I'm guaranteed to know both of them (like SSN, birthdate, etc). What if I've forgotten my username? Seen at: Project Euler
Welcome. :)
Pastie Learns Erlang, Lua, io, Haskell, Lisp, and more...
Following up on my previous post... Pastie adds support for over 15 new languages and some easy to guess/bookmark URLs to go with them... Some of the new languages and URLs: Apache (config) - pastie.org/l/apache_config D - pastie.org/l/d Erlang - pastie.org/l/erlang Fortran - pastie.org/l/fortra...
It's not that I wish any of my existing friendships would die. The context is usually a date or potential date that never panned out. We decide there isn't anything there, but the girl still wants to be friends because "you can never have too many friends"... and some girls really don't get the concept that yes you can...
If I have free time I'd rather be spending it with existing friends, potentially dating someone else, or maybe reading a good book rather than talking to a someone I have no interest in... so this also connects back around to the "do you stay friends after dating someone" stat...
Friendship Survey Results
The results are in. I'd like to say Thank You to everyone who took the time to fill out my survey on friendship. You may view the full results at Wufoo. My Thoughts One reason I created this survey is because I've grown tired of hearing "You can never have too many friends, right?". It's always ...
Invoicie uses the Blinksale API which requires your username and password. I'm not sure how something like OpenID could work in this type of pass-thru authentication scenario. You could prove your OpenID credentials to Invoicie, but that wouldn't allow any access to your Blinksale account without some development work on Blinksale's end.

Invoicie: Blinksale for the iPhone
The recent launch of Logpost motivated me to build my own API-driven only app. That and my shiney new iPhone 3GS is just craving for me to build some apps for it. So here we go. You'll need a Blinksale account to try it out - but that is the entire point after all. Please let me know if you have ...
I guess when I wrote the article i was imaging viewing it from your desktop and hence manually typing the URL into your iPhone... the app is iPhone optimized and not intended to be used from the desktop, hence no link.
I suppose if you're viewing my blog on your iPhone thought it might be a bit annoying. I'll see about tweaking things.

Because the parser Pastie uses (ultraviolet, syntax files derived from TextMate [for the Mac]) doesn't support any of those languages... if it did I would add a few common ones.
Pastie <3 iPhone
A bit late to the party but I only recently started glancing at Pasties using TweetDeck on my iPhone. The usability sucked. So I fixed it. :-) Enjoy.
I haven't even thought of how alternative currencies are handled... I can look into that.

Yes, it's Rails. What else? And Invoicie should work just fine on an iPod Touch. :-)

Some of the visual pieces are from iui and UiUIKit... and I started with CSS from iui to get the headers and such looking correct. I wouldn't say I'm using any particular library though as all the JS is custom so far and I'm kind of just doing whatever works and trying different things... this is a learning project.

Les, if you have specific suggestions feel free to share. I think it's pretty well thought out overall, but I agree there is some pixel level tweaking and improvements that could be made overall. Have to start somewhere. The invoice screen is of course complicated because it tries to show a lot of information in a very little space.
Ilia. Unfortunately accessing the API does require your username and password. This is true if any external 3rd party app that integrates with Blinksale. Of course it's your right to trust whoever you please, but I'm one of the good guys. :-) I value my data and my privacy as much as the next guy.
And Invoicie doesn't save anyone's passwords. They are only used to access the API for your current session and are actually sent (securely over SSL) with each request. When you aren't using Invoicie it has no idea what your passwords or account is.
