I put 6 tech books into a window board of the house’s hallway this noon. It acts as an anonymous book sharing cache. 5 were gone 4h later.

So, what strategies are there in place for synching Identi.ca and Twitter?

Win. Searched for my USB stick for 3 days, even ordered a new one yet. Just found it in my coat. Why would I put it into the *right* pocket?

Since the issue seems to be rooted in Apple’s framework code instead of WebKit code, everyone needs to wait for Apple to fix it.  Using the Apache Webserver and a .htaccess file, you can...
