I’ll be giving a talk on Unblock in a week at the Department affiliates day.
Slides will be posted soon, including some cool data on recently observed censorship.

I’ll be at HotNets 2012 with the FreeDOM paper I worked on this summer. Interesting stuff looking at how to support community services (like open street maps or wikipedia) online.

I’m TAing the undergraduate operating systems class at University of Washington this fall. It should be a cool class – the students will get to build all the cool parts of their own operating system. The assignments will get posted on the class homepage.

I added some chrome structure around the adobe brackets codebase so that it will load as a chrome extension.

Code is living on github (note: pretty ugly at the moment, I removed things that didn’t work off the bat, like references to localStorage) willscott/brackets.

It looks like this.

An idea I’ve been throwing around since the first JS1k programming competition was to see if it would be possible to build a javascript syntax highlighter of some form that could fit in a single tweet. (In the first event, there was additional credit given to tweetable code.)

I’ve been able to make something that works in Chrome, although it will take some further work to get it cross browser.

b[t='innerHTML']='<hr id=y><p id=z contenteditable>';f='y[t]=z[t]';for(p in b)f+='.replace(/'+p+'/ig,"<b>$&</b>")';z.onkeyup=eval.bind(b,f)


See it in action!
