-M →
onethingwell: -M gets one days worth of commit messages, creates a beautifully designed email and sends it to a list of recipients. A nice way to keep tabs on a Github-hosted project.

marco: If you wanted your iPhone or iPad app to work with older versions of the OS, or if you wanted to make a universal app that ran on both iPhone and iPad, you need to ensure that the code never tries to call a method or instantiate an object that doesn’t exist on its OS.

Really, I may just be jinxing myself, but I bought this laptop in February of ‘09 and it still is in top shape, everything works and I...
