I am trying another format for Dumping Mondays, just using paragraphs. Heading, sections, and list seem too much for me.

jquery-timing is an interesting way to code for timing stuff. (2012-05-30T13:38:48Z)

Google’s I’m Feeling Lucky costs US$110 million a year: (2012-05-30T14:51:27Z)

According to a study by Tom Chavez of “Rapt”, this feature costs Google $110 million a year [around 2008] as 1% of all searches use this feature and bypass all advertising.

Interesting way to use D3.js, educational, perhaps? (2012-05-30T15:05:21Z)

I have been thinking to use D3’s stream layout for some public data. It would looks cooler than in Google Public Data Explorer. (2012-05-26T18:50:58Z)

Word cloud looks fun, its GitHub. It seems to have problem with Firefox, but fine with Chrome. (2012-05-27T10:10:00Z)

D3 has azimuthal projection to shape a global map into globe. Combining with USGS Earthquake data1 will be awesome, shaking the globe a bit when new earthquake data come. (2012-05-30T23:13:46Z)

Frozen wedding cake for first anniversary, it’s a western tradition, I guess. I never heard of it until I saw this photo. My first response is ‘yuck,’ that’s one year old cake, that mostly like to be older than your baby. (LOL, that doesn’t sound right.)

I have faith in freezer, but just think about how long the cake is exposed in the air before you put into freezer. First, it stays at cake shop for at least a day, the transportation to location, then your wedding, so many people comes and goes.

There is a discussion about the native Linux client in Indie Humble Bundle V. I have tried to avoid it since Bundle I because I am not sure if all games are pure 64-bit, my system can only runs 64-bit programs. I don’t have 32-bit programs or libraries except GRUB.

And the discussion is more interesting, which I didn’t actually think before and don’t care if they don’t claim all games are Linux native in advertisement.

I have to say the response from Indie Humble Bundle hints they have become a business oriented:

Josh JUN 01, 2012 | 10:30AM PDT Hey there,

LIMBO was professionally “wrapped” by Codeweaver, whose software is based on WINE. So technically it’s running on WINE, but not in the sense as it originally sounds, at least. I do apologize that this doesn’t help your situation, though. :(

If you find you’re dissatisfied, I would understand, and if you would like a refund processed, I can help you out.

Thanks for your support,

Josh Support Ninja Humble Bundle

[emphasis mine]

I am sure Codeweaver professionally wraps the game. “not in the sense as it originally sounds,” LMFAO. It’s not humble anymore in my opinion.

Indie is an interesting word and depended how you define it and categorize someone into it. If something is good, just buy it, don’t pay for a sense as if you feel you should support indie stuff. That’s another way to do marketing, all same, all same.
