Huh? 2 months = 60.8736998 days

 

What a precision!

Can you tell how really much any of the numbers are in less then 1e+01 seconds?

YouTrack/Charisma Users: syntax changing poll

I'd like to organize a little poll as to proposed changes to YouTrack/Charisma query syntax symbols.

If you find
type: "Usability Problem" and :"Usability Problem" queries a bit more intuitive or easy to type then current
type: {Usability Problem} and #{Usability Problem} then please go vote:
Change query syntax: replace { and } with quotes
Change query syntax: replace # with :

Or, maybe you have better suggestions?

Most Concise Tracker Bug Ever

I've never seen a more concise bug about an issue tracking system:

Good Icon Choice

I just love the icon near this option!

Spotted on Geni - easy to start build-your-own-genealogy-tree site.

test/test.com Adword

Just wondering is it a genius advertising idea or just someone's accidental "test" entry?

Fake "test" entry is so common, it can have unforeseen consequences in the Digital Age. How many accounts are there with test/test login/password? Millions?

Ever wanted to read all comments for some user's LiveJournal from a single place?

Update: It was a long time since the post, so it does not work anymore... openkapow went commercial and parsing things need constant support which I am reluctant to do. Anyway, there should be a better way to do this now. Let me know if you find one ;)

It's been quite some time since I've read about various RSS mashups engines. Until today I considered them quite useless, however.

But not now. I've changed my mind a moment after I managed to create this thing. Here is an example of comments for my Russian rare blog.

It serves all comments of a specified user of LiveJournal blog in a single RSS feed. I wanted such a feed for some time already and today is the day.

Pleas note the it works for some, but not for all users. It fails on collapsed threads, etc, etc.

Some background: the feature uses openkapow to turn single entry comments into the feed and then Yahoo! Pipes to aggegate them into single feed. I tried to use Dapper instead of openkapow, but it turns to be quite buggy and not really as robust.
Well, Google's Mashup Editor is yet to try!
