I just read Adam Ralph‘s post Blog == Weblog and I was inspired. I started blogging 10 years ago because I wanted an outlet for my thoughts.

Part of my role at Runscope involves me writing OSS libraries or sample projects to share with other developers. I also regularly use 3rd party APIs in the process. This requires the use of API keys and other private data that I’d rather not share. Unfortunately it is all too easy to leave a key in a […]
If you spend any time reading about API design or working with APIs you will likely have come across the notion of paging response data. Paging has been used in the HTML web for many years as a method to provide users with a fast response to their searches. I normally spend my time advocating […]

I always struggle to use the IETF and W3C web sites to find Web standards that I am looking for. Google and Bing work ok for finding stuff if you can hit the right keywords, however if the terms you are searching has other more popular usages, then you have to wade through irrelevant results. […]
I was working on some reporting stuff and thought I had an issue where I needed to have elements instead of attributes. I found that the following XSLT would do that conversion for me. view rawgistfile1.xslt hosted with ❤ by GitHub Turns out that I didn’t need it, but I figured it would be handy to keep […]
I need to write this somewhere or I’ll forget how to do it. I’ve recently started using branches in hg for my target environments instead of using separate repositories as is recommended by Kiln.
