Joel on Interior Design by Tim Marman

Uh, ok. Now I'm jealous. This is cool . I've joked about it in the past, but now I really, really want to work for Joel. If the 700$ a month per employee gets to be too much, you can probably just turn it into a lounge at night. Just hide the computers...

Making Change by Tim Marman

Apparently, whoever set the price at the soda machine at school to 85 cents never had to do the stamps problem. People are typically going to pay with either a dollar or exact change. If you pay with a dollar, the machine needs a dime and a nickel to...

Javascript Syntax by Tim Marman

I've worked with JavaScript extensively over the past few years. Actually, I would say I'm way too intimate for my own sanity, but that's another story. JavaScript isn't a true object-oriented language, because there is no real concept of inheritence...

Moment of Silence by Tim Marman

I've been searching for the right words to express what I've been feeling, but unfortunately they're escaping me right now. I worked across the street at the time, and I continue to live and work just blocks from the site today. I considered it the greatest...

NFL Statistics via WebService? by Tim Marman

Does anyone know if there's an NFL stats feed available somewhere (even if it's not free, but is reasonable) ?? I've been considering writing my own Fantasy Football software, but stats are a necessary prerequisite!

Examples of my OneNote troubles... by Tim Marman

Maybe I shouldn't have used OneNote after all. Check out my mangled notes. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to undo this. They're not on different layers, and I can't seem to figure out how to separate them. They've just become mangled. Moving...

CBS News Exclusive... by Tim Marman

Any time a news network says it has an “exclusive story” just means no one else thought this was newsworthy enough to bother with. On that note, a Loosely Coupled exclusive - there's a remote chance I might make it to the PDC this year. Of course, my...
