For the past few weeks I’ve had the chance to get to know a wonderful company and an amazing team, which I’m really excited to join. So, with a blink to my previous job (thanks Blink), I’m truly happy to write that today is my first official day as an Automattician!

I have no idea how this actually works, but it does: Xenocode Browser Sandbox allows you to easily run all browsers, side by side, on your desktop. No install.
What I find weird is that it keeps any add-ons or browser settings you have on your system (for example IE Developer Toolbar).

I was looking for a way to create a JS array of IDs out of a jQuery selection. Google search wasn’t that heplful, so I turned to Stack Overflow.
Stack Overflow is an amazing programming Q&A site. It’s unbelievable how significant it became in my process of learning jQuery.
At first, search didn’t find anything relevant, so I decided to ask a question. After typing my question title, SO went and searched for possibly relevant questions, and I found exactly what I was looking for. 
Keeping track of all the apps I’ve got installed on my phone is not an easy task. Here’s a quick list of the most important ones:
(That’s not all, but these are the ones I use most often.)
I’m excited. What will Nokia announce tomorrow in less than an hour? I’m not sure, but I’m guessing its gonna be big.
Update: Symbian-freak has some details – N97, full touchscreen, full qwerty keyboard, 5mp camera, 32gb of intrernal storage, hsdpa (3.5g) and so much more.
I’ve entered the announced size to sizeeasy, and the results are pretty promising: it looks just a tad bigger than the iPhone.
Last week I was at a great rock concert (Tal Fridman and the Krayot Band – Hebrew), and felt like sharing the experience with my friends and stream some video.
I recalled having seen Qik’s app on a friend’s iPhone, and hoped they might have a Symbian client as well. I launched qik.com on the mobile browser, and was up and running in less than 2 minutes.
Here’s what Qik’s doing, and you should be doing too for your mobile app:
1. Browser Recognition: I didn’t have to look for a mobile site, they just recognized it (probably using WURFL or a similar library)
2. Direct Download: the first link leads directly to the download page. Again, my device was recognized, and another click launched the download and installation.![]()
3. Registration is super easy, even on the mobile phone. After install, you’re presented to the following registration screen:
