This is amazingly cool - EditCSS is a (duh) CSS stylesheet editor for FireFox that reflects changes made in realtime. Via Russell Beattie.

Made it safely to Tokyo. Slept like a baby the whole way, so this flying-all-night shit might work out okay after all.

Heading to the airport now. The big question is, do you really need two people to join the mile high club? Or will just one suffice?

I posted this question to Ask Metafilter and got no real answers yet, and I’m still looking for a solution:

I use the Windows XP Professional Internet Connection Sharing to dish out my DSL access to a couple of people residing in the same location. How do I find just basic log information about this service? It magically dishes out DHCP access to them, but I can’t even find how many IP addresses have been assigned, how many connections are active, and so on.

Ethereal was suggested (I just want the basics), and I’ve tried tools from netstat to ActivePorts. Windows XP actually hides all the connections that are being masqueraded from me. If I ever find an answer I’ll put it here.

Since I’m leaving tomorrow night, I’ve put up some pictures of the city and the place I’ve been staying.

IBM wants to work with Sun to open source Java. That would be awesome in my opinion, and since there’s no charges associated with using Java (and most of the source is open in a loose sense of the word) it makes sense.

Robert Scoble takes the risk in losing readers and admits his support for gay marriage. I imagine when your blog is as popular as his it’s fairly risky coming clean with opinions on controversial subjects, and I admire him for doing that. And I agree with him about the issue. For a view from the other side, take a look at the top twelve reasons against it (but bring your sense of humor).

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but for some reason a Feedster search for “constitution” returns zero results and suggests that I’m looking for “quinstreet”. Did another useful tool just die?

How to clusterfuck almost any GZIP-enabled application. Basically, you can craft a GZIP-encoded HTTP response that’ll deflate from a few bytes to a few hundred megabytes due to the format of the compression. Via Fun With Wordage.

I got invited into Orkut and in turn invited everyone I know (invitations take time to go out though). Could this spell the end of the service? Only time will tell.
