Fail whale ale existed briefly. It was available at the FAIL party, and was quite tasty.

in Mac networking help sought (Scripting News) on Scripting News
Remove the routers involved and place all machines on the same switch in the same IP network subnet.

If the problem persists, one of the routers or switches is having issues passing traffic. If it's all macs, it's entirely possible a router is blocking multicast or other parts of the AFP protocol.

in search me? who knows. on Retina Technology Blog
Very, very, nice!

I like viewzi. My only complaint is that the selection of display format should occur before or on the same page as keyword search and not after I've typed in my keywords.

You're an idiot.

You have complete control over what is on these cards, and if you have an issue with revealing information on the cards or the information on them, just edit what is going to print.

These cards don't look 'stupid in a suit' -- mashable is fishing for headlines.

Pete Jna,

Not sure I understand the question...made no reference to revealing information?

Re: the headline, it tries to infer a creative brand going corporate.

in Leopard on the Hackintosh on Retina Technology Blog
That error is typically caused when the installation disk can't find your hard drive or if the hard drive driver is incompatible.

What motherboard / disk configuration are you using?

in Web 2.0 Notes: Optimizing the Frontend on Mindtangle
Hey eric - I think I met you at web2.0. I gave the talk on the Snarkatron and we'd discussed writing up the Snarkatron for instructables and bringing it to maker faire.

Drop me an email if it's you. Thanks.

in Autocomplete in rails 2.0 on Retina Technology Blog
Sure. The partial is very small, and looks like:

<ul class="autocomplete_list">
<% @affiliates.each { |r| %>
<li class="autocomplete_item"><%= r %></li>
<% } %>
</ul>

in The secret to Twitter on Scobleizer
I have a different hypothesis for why twitter works, and that's because people have been in a multiuser communications blackout for ages. Article here:
