Now I can put my 140 characters of pithyness in two places at the same time.</p> Sun, 02 Mar 2008 21:41:09 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2008/3/2/forget_about_february nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2008/1/21/zombie_infection_simulation <p>Link: <a href="http://kevan.org/proce55ing/zombies/">http://kevan.org/proce55ing/zombies/</a></p> Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:33:24 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2008/1/21/zombie_infection_simulation nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2008/1/4/dna_seen_through_the_eyes_of_a_coder <p>Interesting parallels between genetics and programming.</p><p>Link: <a href="http://ds9a.nl/amazing-dna/index.html">http://ds9a.nl/amazing-dna/index.html</a></p> Fri, 04 Jan 2008 19:56:02 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2008/1/4/dna_seen_through_the_eyes_of_a_coder nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2007/3/24/jsonmarshaller <p>A Java to Javascript (well, <span class="caps">JSON</span> anyway) marshalling framework.</p><p>Link: <a href="http://www.twolattes.com/code.php">http://www.twolattes.com/code.php</a></p> Sat, 24 Mar 2007 08:17:05 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2007/3/24/jsonmarshaller nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/9/22/a_jstl_primer <p>Yeah, um, your template language doesn&#8217;t look that friendly</p><p>Link: <a href="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jstl0211.html">http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jstl0211.html</a></p> Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:18 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/9/22/a_jstl_primer nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/9/21/recursive_directory_list_with_ruby <p>Helpful, and soooo easy</p><p>Link: <a href="http://www.oreillynet.com/onjava/blog/2006/03/recursive_directory_list_with.html">http://www.oreillynet.com/onjava/blog/2006/03/recursive_directory_list_with.html</a></p> Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:17 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/9/21/recursive_directory_list_with_ruby nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/8/7/ruby_book_sales_pass_perl <p>Amazing what two years can do</p><p>Link: <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2006/07/ruby_book_sales_pass_perl.html">http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2006/07/ruby_book_sales_pass_perl.html</a></p> Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:43 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/8/7/ruby_book_sales_pass_perl nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/8/7/freedom_languages <p>Is your programming language &#8220;safe&#8221; or &#8220;free&#8221;?</p><p>Link: <a href="http://www.journalhome.com/codecraft/9003/">http://www.journalhome.com/codecraft/9003/</a></p> Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:43 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/8/7/freedom_languages nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/4/25/rails_developers_use_params_not_params <p>I&#8217;m guilty in the worst way &mdash; I&#8217;ve been doing about half with @ and half without with no real logic</p><p>Link: <a href="http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/articles/2006/04/25/use-params-not-params">http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/articles/2006/04/25/use-params-not-params</a></p> Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:24 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/4/25/rails_developers_use_params_not_params nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/3/13/about_programming_languages <p>A rundown of today&#8217;s most popular languages, their pros and cons</p><p>Link: <a href="http://www.cabochon.com/~stevey/blog-rants/tour-de-babel.html">http://www.cabochon.com/~stevey/blog-rants/tour-de-babel.html</a></p> Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:15 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/3/13/about_programming_languages nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/3/10/10_tips_that_every_php_newbie_should_know <p>Tip 0: Learn Ruby</p><p>Link: <a href="http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/vaska20050722.php3?aid=948">http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/vaska20050722.php3?aid=948</a></p> Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:13 GMT http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/3/10/10_tips_that_every_php_newbie_should_know nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) http://nicholasjon.com/permalink/2006/2/23/the_envelope_pattern_of_content_management <p>Who&#8217;s building a <span class="caps">CMS</span>?
