  1. Re:Working at band gigs on Ask Slashdot: Where's the Most Unusual Place You've Written a Program From? · · Score: 1

    s/people often then/people often think/ One of the cooler venues was the Iron Man 3 cast/crew party (marked half-done w/ filming). Got to meet RDJ, the director, and many crew members.

  2. Working at band gigs on Ask Slashdot: Where's the Most Unusual Place You've Written a Program From? · · Score: 1

    My wife is in a cover band that gigs several days a week. As I've heard the music many many times (I enjoy it, just used to it), I don't drink or dance, and I've never been much of one for watching a band, I end up doing work on my laptop. So this means I'm often working at a bar, club, restaurant, wedding, or on a large boat/yacht (such as for the Eastbound & Down wrap party last year). As long as I'm able to find wifi or otherwise tether on my phone, I'm surprisingly productive considering the venues :-) To avoid annoying venue patrons w/ bright light in dark room, I tend to find a place out-of-direct-view, ideally w/ laptop light hitting a wall, and brightness turned way down. If I'm close enough to the sound guy, people often then I'm running sound or lights :-D

  3. What about sandboxing? on Firefox Takes the Performance Crown From Chrome · · Score: 1

    So FF finally overtook Chrome, but does FF finally sandbox properly now? I'm betting not... Chrome being *slightly* slower, with proper sandboxing, still keeps it #1 in my book (plus I like the interface and addons better...)
