nvALT 1.0.7

It records its scroll position in the preview window before it updates the content of it. If the note has already been previewed (you didn’t just switch notes), it injects a script into the updated content to restore the scroll position when the window finishes loading.

Home from Punta Cana

We made it home from our vacation to Punta Cana late this afternoon. The vacation was amazing, and I made new friends and put some faces (and amazing personalities) with names I already knew. A great time was had by all. The trip home, US Customs, canceled flights and fleabag hotels I could have lived without, but I’m home safe and looking forward to getting back to work, coding on my various projects, and catching up on all of the TUAW news I missed! personal, travel

Miami, Dallas and home

Aditi and I are at the airport in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Wifi is a little spotty, but I’m going to see if I can get this posted from my iPad.

Bookmarklet: Read Pinboard links with Instapaper Text

Here’s a quick bookmarklet you can run on any Pinboard page containing a list of bookmarks. It adds a “Read” link at the end of the edit links for each post, and clicking the link will open the post in Instapaper Text1 view in a new page/tab. It also marks the post you click as “read.” Note that this happens whether you have that specified in the preferences or not (because it’s a quick hack and I think it’s weird to not mark an article as read when you read it). bookmarklet, experiments, pinboard

I adore Pinboard

This is a very short post to mention that I’ve fallen in love with Pinboard. I’ve been using in it earnest ever since the day Yahoo said they were sunsetting Delicious, and now I feel stupid for not switching years ago. Even if Delicious survives, I’d never go back now.
