The League of Justice (i.e. the StackOverflow trilogy) stickers arrived today in the mail! YAY YAY YAY! Somehow or other, there were two StackOverflow stickers, along with a ServerFault and SuperUser one, in my envelope, when there should have been only three total, but this is awesome! I will post pictures of the stickers soon!

GIGRIB users can add websites they want monitored, and in return their computers become a part of the GIGRIB monitoring network.” So, I fired it up, inputed the domains I [...]

The Twitpocalypse Returns
In my last post, I explained what truly went on in the Twitpocalypse, which dealt with tweet IDs passing the limits of the 32-bit signed integer (from -2,147,483,647 to +2,147,483,647), which is the most common datatype in use in computer applications today.

This year, I attended the 2-day Microsoft Faculty Summit 2009 at the Microsoft campus in Redmond, WA. This was my first time ever visiting such an awesome company as Microsoft, and I was very amazed and delighted. I was able to speak to one of the programmers at Microsoft, and I was very intrigued. I [...]
