I’m very excited about bitcoin and I’ve listed some great articles below that I’ve found really interesting.
These articles cover the basics, but many of them also give hints of the effects bitcoin may have not just on our own money transactions but on the financial industry as well as governments and their tax base.
The Bitcoin Bubble and the future of currency – the best article on the whole idea and implications I’ve come across so far.
Why VCs love the bitcoin market - very interesting numbers on the market capitalization we can expect from bitcoin.
Future of Bitcoin - makes me a fan of the New Yorker.
surely more to come.

Using a browser’s autofill functionality does not trigger the onkeyup or onchange events.
If you have a form that is dependent on dynamic user input, you may want to check out the following bindings.
To catch a user using a browser autofill, I bound the following events to an element:
$(‘#element’).bind(‘change keyup blur input’, function () { …. {);
It worked. However, it may give you trouble in IE, but what doesn’t?

The solution here seems to be:
a) set the Time Capsule to provide 802.11 b/g compatible mode (in Airport Utility, select your TC and make a change to the Radio mode WHILE holding the option key. Otherwise you will not see the available b/g compatible mode.
b) set the password used to WPA/WPA2 personal. Do not use WEP. XBox will not see your network otherwise.
c) connect on XBox.

just a little tidbit that was driving me crazy.
Haven’t used ASCW and CHRW much, but here it goes:
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8211),”–”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8212),”–”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8216),”‘”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8217),”‘”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8220),”"”")
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8221),”"”")
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8226),”*”)
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8482),”")
strtitle = Replace(strTitle,ChrW(8230),”.”)

2 errors today:
msxml6.dll threw
The host name in the certificate is invalid or does not match
-2147012858
which can be fixed by using the following code:
http.open “GET”, url, True
Const SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS = 13056
http.setOption 2, SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS
then msxml6.dll threw
The connection with the server was terminated abnormally
-2147012866
In the code I found the following line which caused the trouble:
http.setRequestHeader “Connection”, “Close”
Why oh Why?

We recently had the problem that our site was loading very slowly for some users because their firewall blocked any access to facebook (company guidelines). After a quick search I found a great solution by the guys at tripadvisor.

We just bought a great house on a beautiful piece of land. After a minute or two to enjoy it, we’ve decided to do home renovations. First up is the basement!

Interesting article at http://showmeanalytics.com/2009/07/one-visit-two-user-agents/ that explains why some visitors to our sites have continously switching user agents (from ie8 to ie7 and back again).
We were actually kicking them off for a while.

just noticed some of our users are having trouble when logging out. The Response.Redirect call does not work in IE8(Vista).
Found another user showing this on http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-internetexplorer-general/348183-ie8-reponse-redirect.html
Looks like an IE8 bug (and not the first).
