@andrew baron. If I'm taking it the wrong way then perhaps you are presenting your context in the wrong way. I read the comments above and all I see is a giant semantics argument that doesn't have the collective gall to call an idea out as terrible. Experiment? To what end? What's your hypothisis? That your followers and fans can be bought and sold?! Who does that? What human with any sense of honor and dignity does that? Sure I'm upset by your so called experiment!!! I'm outraged by it.

@chris not all "experiments" are harmless. Not everything in the "social space" is the same. Is twitter more intimate? I don't know but selling off the people who follow you in earnest without their consent is unethical. You don't need an "experiment" to know what we've know for years. Calling it is an experiment is a cop out. It's selling out your user base to the highest bidder and it's as command place in today's market as twitter. I simply expected more from our community leaders. Yes rocketboom was a leader in online content and I expect more. I'm hurt and disappointed. Again, just my 2 cents which I assume is all my opinion is worth on ebay anyway.

ok. I decided to channel my outrage on my blog rather than continue to bore anyone unwillingly here. If you're interested: http://is.gd/5NI

On second thought, maybe rendering content is job 1. XSS being a close second. :)

That's good to know. Though, I never got into Haml, always seemed like a good idea but every time I sit down to do it I feel odd and then go back to erb.

that's a really good point. I'm starting with Erlang but I believe that the functional stuff will translate to F# really well. I'm actually hoping to write some very fast multi-core programs coming up and F# or Erlang may be a perfect solution for me. I'm certainly stepping out of the "comfy" zone with a totally functional programming language but that's why I chose Erlang over F#, Erlang is pure functional and F# still can be very OO (which is cool!). Anyway, thanks for the comment.

Re: Test Naming: To Underscore or Not To Underscore

Leon Gersing — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 19:36:23 -0000

I, as you know, am a fan of underscores but only because I can't use strings and like whitespace. I'd prefer to do what RSpec does and say it "Should wait for me to" do ... end. but since I can't in C#, I use underscores. As far as the runner goes, they're both kinda fugly but they're the best we can do, I s'pose, until we figure something better out. :)

not to be a dick, because I hate this commercial too but my kids (ages 2 and 4) ALWAYS greet me like that. I usually ask them to calm down too. :)
