My rambling tumblelog. Apple, Google, web dev., etc. Occasionally on topic.
So for the last few days I’ve been fiddling with my Apple TV, routers and VPN accounts to see if I could get access to US Netflix programmes on my TV. A few folk have asked, so I thought I’d share my setup.
This is not a detailed configuration step-by-step, it’s a general overview of the solution I ended up with. Detailed support for each part...
To His Holiness: your words are deplorable, and all the more so for being spoken in this age. To my dear, conflicted friend, and to everyone exposed to the religious virus: evidence and reason are indeed, as you suspect and know, the king of justifications for a belief - and the very minimum you have a right to demand.

Create noisy tileable PNGs based on any HEX colour and control the intensity of the noise - quite cool.

An interesting article by Nicole Sullivan on changes to the CSS selector performance in WebKit.
For example, we were told that descendant selectors were slow, especially when the right-most selector matched many elements on the page. All this was fantastic information when we had none, but as it turns out, times have changed! Thanks to some amazing work by Antti Koivisto there are many selectors we don’t need to worry about anymore!
I quite often check cancelation methods before signing up to a service; this stipulation would cause me to walk away.
Note: This is a minor update to a post I made last year, migrated from a previous blog.
One of my pet hates (there are many), is being presented with the incorrect keyboard, or having auto capitalisation forced upon me, when entering information into web forms on my iPhone or iPad. This is something that’s very easy to control and can be done...
