We have a couple of exciting projects—Guestbook! Yay.Boo!—that we want to share with the world. But that’s a difficult task for us because, honestly, we’re terrible not good at self-promotion. We’d rather spend time making things than talking about the things we’ve made. We’d...

I have the fortune to review a few important blog posts every year and the biggest value I add is to call out sentences or sections that make no sense. It is quite simple and you can do it too. Without clarity only those at your company in marketing and sales (whose job it is to...

Emulating linux/AMD64 userland: interpreting an ELF binary

from Notes on software development [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
In this post we'll stumble toward a working emulator for a barebones C program compiled for linux/AMD64. The approach will be slightly more so based on observation than by following a spec; a great way to quickly become familiar with a topic, and a bad way to...

Make small changes and solve the problems you have

from Notes on software development [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Two frustrating things that can happen in an organization are 1) big changes and 2) changes that aren’t clearly associated with a known problem. It’s even worse in that order. These situations tend to happen when a problem remain unaddressed for too long. These situations tend to...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
