Tumblr Killed Commenting
Revista asks:
Has commenting just died? NO. Is the tumblelog responsible? NO. Has tumbling become the new form of commenting? NO - A NEW FORM. Do you still comment as much as before? YES. Or do you prefer tumbling as the greater form of flattery? NO. Do you still track comment threads? NEVER DID, NEVER WILL. Do you even care about comments anymore? I FEEL REBLOGGING AS THE ONLY FORM OF...

Marco's post on iWork '08
Cameron says “Regular consumers would rather have good looking and easy-to-use technology over more advanced, ugly and confusing products.”
And stuff that just works, like Marco once said. As an academic, I now rely on my computer and software to a far greater extent than I did at any of my big commercial employers, and I just can’t do my job if I have to use the Microsoft...
“I’ve been noticing this a lot about Microsoft. They don’t make...”

John: Question: how does aatw get those cool links embedded in her tumblr background?First off, he’s a he. Didn’t you get the e-mail? He has used relative positioning in CSS. Those are floating images in ‘a’ tags. :)
I knew part of my question was stupid, now I know all of it was!
Thanks for the tip.

AATW: “I wonder when this’ll get fixed.”
Davidville Upper Management has ordered a new, super-beefy, quad-CPU, 8 GB RAM, 4x 15k disk RAID-10 master database server. When we get it installed and deployed in about a week, you’ll see a dramatic boost in performance and responsiveness, and the 5-6 AM slowdown will no longer be noticeable.
Yay! As they say.

Via aatw: Tumblr’s become way too slow for me. One of the main things I liked about Tumblr was that it was zippy and allowed me to post stuff in seconds. I’m on a 256k connection and Tumblr is becoming unbearable.
She’s not wrong. It really slows down after about 1300 GMT, when America wakes up. I’m on an 8MB connection and it’s bad enough!
