Re: RailsConf Europe 2006: Unobtrusive Ajax with Dan Webb

Daniel P — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 09:10:31 -0000

Agreed, I've been working on a few new methods of making my xmlhttprequests a bit less obtrusive. I have to say its made me feel comfortable enough with 'ajax' to have suggested it to the higher ups for a focus to take on our upcoming platform. As it is currently, it runs some pretty old and ugly code, that fails miserably if a customer has no javascript support.. So I'm hoping they'll be easily persuaded (though they are currently more inclined towards going the absolutely-no-javascript approach, which I suppose works as well..)
But I've atleast got the designers on my side!

They actually got it back for you?

You should be bloody happy man, every time my luggage has been 'misplaced', it's either taken weeks for them to find.. or just vanished completely. (most likely in those cases, they just didn't like me enough to look for it)

Still, traveling is entertaining enough to put up with the god awful service of the airline companies.. :)

Re: Music to listen to while programming - part 1

Tragically Yakety Sax is really the only song that can really convey the quality of the code base were on at the office i'm currently working at (for one more week thank GOD).. I like to kick it up during our strategy meetings.

That said aside from that I generally listen to Disney songs while coding, for obvious reasons.

Not 5 minutes before reading this comic I was talking about how much better the web was in the gopher days.. Creepy.
