I just received this link to an article in the Swedish version of Tech World. As soon as I see a reference to pocket protectors, I get suspicious of the article just being a translation (as pocket protectors are not as iconic in Sweden). One google later, I find the previous versions of the article. First published in January, and then in April. The images in the Swedish article are from the April slide show version.
Now I can’t find anything wrong with a publisher translating its content and re-publishing it, but as a reader, I feel deceived. Can’t they just tell the readers that they are getting translated international content? With the web, this becomes so much obvious compared to the magazine age.

Here is my Keyboard Maestro macro which lets me swap selected text with the text in my clipboard (previously copied).
Neat huh.

I used to love Skitch since it was quick. Since it got integrated with Evernote, it has become slow. I do not need Evernote integration. I was happy with being able to quickly create an annotated screenshot, getting the URL to it and being able to post it.
There are a few alternatives available:
The features of these alternatives break down as follows:
- Free: GrabBox, Monosnap
- Paid: Captured ($2.99), Glui ($2.99)
- Upload to Dropbox: Captured, Glui, GrabBox
- Upload to proprietary hosting: Monosnap
- Annotation: Glui, Monosnap
- Draggable image: Captured, Glui
I chose to use Glui. It’s simple and feature complete for my purposes. It also allows you to share a the image via a clean, responsice, black web page (URL on glui.me, image hotlinked from Dropbox).

Commenter William thankfully double checked our math and we've corrected a small error in our % NTSC calculation.
We finally got our hands on an iPhone 5 yesterday. I tried asking Siri if she really has 44% more color saturation but she wouldn’t give up the goods, so I went with plan B and aimed our PR-655 spectroradiometer at the phone to find out just how impressive the screen really is.

I made a theme for TaskPaper today. It’s called Bolarized because it is inspired by colors used by Byword, and the Solarized color theme. The theme is here: https://gist.github.com/3314637

Remembering to use that with restrictive clauses and which with nonrestrictive clauses is the best method, but the quick and dirty tip of using which when you could throw out the clause will also get you to the right answer most of the time.

Today the image below made its rounds on Facebook, twitter and a few blogs. It gives an example of a funny/provocative correlation.
It is funny because it gives an example of how funny correlations can be found between two unrelated variables. To bad the actual chart is wrong though since it compares the absolute number of murders with the percentage of Internet Explorer users. I was however, intrigued and decided to see if any of the numbers were true, so I looked for them.
Data
I found homicide rates in the US stated in number of homicides per 100k people on wikipedia. Browsers stats I took from W3Schools's yearly logs since they were the only statistics I found (without putting to much time into the search) that stretched back to 2003.
The W3School numbers were a bit lower than those used in the original image. The Wikipedia article also only showed relative homicide rates (which is good), so I had to visit the United States Census Bureau (here and here) to get the actual population numbers so that I could calculate the actual number of homicides. One should also note that the crime statistics found on Wikipedia are biannual. Therefore, I only used browser statistics from those years.
Number of homicides vs. Internet Explorer use.
Below are two charts, one for 2003-2011 which was the range of the data I had, and one for 2007-2011 which aproximates the date range used in the original image. As you can see, the numbers are actually quite accurate.
Homicide rate vs. Internet Explorer use
However, the comparison is flawed, so I made two more charts, one showing the index values of the number of homicides per 100k people vs IE use from 2003-2011 and the other showing using 2007-2011 as its date range. Below are the charts.
As can be seen, even though both variable show a declining trend, their rate of decline differs.

I have been using jitouch for several weeks now, and am very happy with the increased speed with which I can navigate tabs and windows in OS X.
jitouch ($6.99) is a third-party preference pane which allows you to bind commands to mouse gestures. BetterTouchTool (BTT) is a similar but free tool which may be a bit more configurable. However, jitouch is much easier to use, has a nicer interface and has these handy animations that show how the gestures look like. jitouch also has character gestures. Character gestures are used by drawing a gesture on the trackpad using your index-finger and you ring-finger. I like this because the finger+swipe gestures available are ergonomically limited (try holding your first fingers down and doing anything comfortably with your pinky).
I use the follwing gestures:
- TipTap left/right: Previous/Next tab (one finger anchored, tap with a finger to the left or right of the anchored finger). This works in all apps that have tabs (if not, I just remap the the menu item to a keyboard shortcut using the OS X Keyboard Preferences, and add an application specific gesture to jitouch).
- Three finger tap: Open link in new tab (BTT does not have this action). This is great since I scroll with two fingers (ring finger + middle finger). When I come across a link I like, I just tap it with my index finger.
- Character gesture C: Close tab/window
- Character gesture T: New tab
- Character gesuture down: copy (works in all apps)
- Character gesture up: paste (works in all apps)
- Character gesture Y: Keyboard Y. I use this in Gmail since I scroll messages with the trackpad after clicking on them. Drawing a Y on the trackpad is much faster than clicking on the "remove label" button. Since I have my hand on the trackpad, I do not need to switch from trackpad to keyboard. One could argue that only using the keyboard is faster. It generally is, but I find selecting a message using the trackpad is faster than moving to it with
j/kand pressingenter.
My conclusion is that a tool such as jitouch or BTT is the trackpad equivalent of keyboard shortcuts! For keyboard shortcuts, I use have my own set of shortcuts using both Keyboard Maestro and Apptivate. I use both because Keyboard Maestro lets me set up complex actions. Since I write in Markdown alot, I have macros that wraps selected text in backticks, square brackets, parenthesis etc. Apptivate is really greate since it supports keyboard shortcut sequences. This means that instead of creating unique keyboard shortcuts for each macro, I can group my macros under a main keyboard shortcut with secondary (and tertiary) single letter modifiers.
For example, I use the main keyboard shortcut
ctrl+cmd+was the starting chord for my "wrap selection in.." shortcuts. I then follow this chord by a singleBfollowed by a singleTfor "wrap in backticks". If I follow the first chord by a singleSfollowed by a singleB, I trigger the "wrap selection in square brackets" macro. - Nov 07, 12
There are several versions of Universal Time
(Not very universal eh?! Bold face added by me. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Time /jody)
UT0 is Universal Time determined at an observatory by observing the diurnal motion of stars or extragalactic radio sources [...] different observatories will find a different value for UT0 at the same moment.
UT1 is the principal form of Universal Time. While conceptually it is mean solar time at 0° longitude, precise measurements of the Sun are difficult. Hence, it is computed from observations of distant quasars using long baseline interferometry, laser ranging of the Moon and artificial satellites, as well as the determination of GPS satellite orbits. UT1 is the same everywhere on Earth [...]
UT1R is a smoothed version of UT1, filtering out periodic variations due to tides.
UT2 is a smoothed version of UT1, filtering out periodic seasonal variations. It is mostly of historic interest and rarely used anymore.
UT2R is a smoothed version of UT1, incorporating both the seasonal corrections of UT2 and the tidal corrections of UT1R. It is the most smoothed form of Universal Time. Its non-uniformities reveal the unpredictable components of Earth rotation, due to atmospheric weather, plate tectonics, and currents in the interior of the Earth.
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is an atomic timescale that approximates UT1. It is the international standard on which civil time is based. It ticks SI seconds, in step with TAI. It usually has 86,400 SI seconds per day, but is kept within 0.9 seconds of UT1 by the introduction of occasional intercalary leap seconds. As of 2012 these leaps have always been positive, with a day of 86401 seconds. When an accuracy better than one second is not required, UTC can be used as an approximation of UT1. The difference between UT1 and UTC is known as DUT1.

I recieved my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 a couple of days ago and have installed two 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green disks (WD10EZRX) creating a single X-RAID2 volume. The green have not given me any trouble yet and provide me with 927GB of space.
Since I have a Mac I initially only enabled the AFP protocoll, but later found out the ReadyNAS Remote (official Add-on) only support CIFS shares, so I switched. I also installed the Enable Root SSH Access Add-on. This made copying data from my USB drives into my shares a bit easier. The shares reside in
/c/with my users share in/c/home/<user name>. However, as I log in asrootownership of the files have to be changed usingchown.Overall, I am satisfied at the moment. As I have not added additional disks I can't give a report on how X-RAID2 expansion works.

Just a short note on how to write an AppleScript that opens the current Finder selection in a specific app. Why I would want something like this? Why, to open a bunch of files in Sublime Text 2 using a keyboard shortcut run using Apptivate of course!
Here is the script that opens the selection in Finder using Sublime Text 2:

Here is a nice tip and setting for all of you who own a Mac and use your controll key: You can remap the Caps Lock key to work as the controll key. This makes it more ergonomic when you press the Ctrl key using your pinky.
The best way is of course to use the fleshy part of your hand just below the lowest pinky joint. See the picture in this Stack Overflow post.

Today I found out that Datasift, one of Twitter's partners, will be selling access to Twitter data dating back to 2010. Access also comes together with various tools which enable subscribers to search and analyze the data. infochimps is another company which deals in data from social networks. Browsing their Data Marketplace, I found their Social Network Identity Mapping API. The data is accessed via an API which costs $10.00 per 1,000 calls. Here is what you get via the API:
Query a social identifier, like a Twitter handle, a Facebook username or a Facebook ID, to get user data:
- The person’s name
- Their location
- A short description, like a Twitter bio
- Their social networking profiles and usernames across the web, including, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many, many more
- A score of their online influence among their peers, like Klout
From a privacy perspective, this should be an eyeopener for everybody: Everything you publish publicly on the Internet, is actually public. Anybody who has access to this data can copy it and store it. Depending on where you publish it, it might even be sold and used by others for anything they want. Even decentralized systems will be open to such possibilities if they are public.
So, what should we do? Well, I think it would be great if people in general would become more knowledgable in the fields of databases and network and system architecture. This does not seem very likely currently, but people should be informed of what other people can do with publicly available data.
I do not know who said this first, but it really is quite true: "It’s clear that if you’re not paying for a service, you are not the customer – you’re the product.".
Perhaps I will move myself to a non-public, social platform where the data is in my hands and I control access to it. A great solution would be if there was some kind of encrypted virtual machine which one could deploy on a cloud server somewhere. This virtual machine would run server software which talked to other servers using standardized, encrypted protocols to facilitate decentralized social web services. All with authenticated data access.
