Error 501 (net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE): Unknown error
Error 501 (net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE): Unknown error is an error you get in chrome when you view a page with an iframe that loads a HTTPS page with an invalid SSL certificate. If you find HTTPS page on the same domain that is not in an iframe you will get the standard red page saying the site is unsafe. If you click procceed the page will load as normal. You can now go back to the page with the iframe and browse normally.
If you are not a developer or are not sure why the SSL certificate is invalid then DO NOT CLICK the button to procceed.
Great The Social Network review by Lawrence Lessig. A movie that I loved as fiction.
Zuck
I was working my way up to writing a big defense of Zuckerburg. But Thanks to Hacker News I don’t have to. This thread is a really great over at Hacker News.
Red Band Trailer – Kyle Chandler
I love Diablo and FNL. Man I need to write about TV more.
China Miéville reads my mind
I dislike him for slightly different reasons. But these are good reasons as well that I can get behind:
I’ve never met [JJ Abrams]. I am not a member of his fan club or anti-fan club. I disliked Cloverfield a very great deal. I disliked Star Trek intensely. I thought it was terrible. And I think part of my problem is that I feel like the relationship between JJ Abrams’ projects and geek culture is one of relatively unloving repackaging – sort of cynical. I taste contempt in the air. Now I’m not a child – I know that all big scifi projects are suffused with the contempt of big money for its own target audience. But there’s something about [JJ's projects] that makes me particularly uncomfortable. As compared to somebody like Joss Whedon, who – even when there are misfires – I feel likes me and loves me and is on some cultural level my brother and comrade. And I don’t feel that way about JJ Abrams.

Exclude svn files from grep
Grep is confusing enough and does not need to be even harder to use. SVN files are almost always not wanted in a search and just make finding what you want even harder. Luckily you can set a default option.
First jump in to the .bashrc file in your home directory.
nano ~/.bashrc
Then add the options for grep in that file:
GREP_OPTIONS="--exclude=*.svn-base"
export GREP_OPTIONS
Now save and exit the file. Before it will work you need to either restart the session or enter this in the console:
source ~/.bashrc
Wave goodbye to all those pesky svn file.
Interview with Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko
Read it here. I’m so excited for them. It’s funny that basically anything they could have said would have come across as an insult to M. Night Shyamalan.
What did you guys think of the live-action version of “The Last Airbender”?
Konietzko: We’re just really focused on this new show right now, and kind of taking this off in its own direction and not concerning ourselves with that right now.
So you didn’t follow the casting controversy about the movie version of “The Last Airbender”?
Konietzko: We didn’t head up that film. We’re just happy to be back generating the original content in this mythology, which is what we do.
Avatar: Legend of Korra
The epicenter of the modern Avatar world is Republic City, a metropolis fueled by steampunk technology. It is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive. – AvatarSpirit
I seems rumors have been floating around for months and I’ve missed them because I don’t hang out in forums much.
MacFusion Error: Could not mount filesystem: Remote host has disconnected.
If you’re getting the above error immediately after clicking mount it seems to be because you are using OSX 10.6. There’s not a ton of good documentation but this is what seems to work.
Right click on the app and select “Show package contents”. Navigate to Contents/PlugIns/sshfs.mfplugin/Contents/Resources/sshnodelay.so and delete or rename the file.
It should now magically work.

Jimmy Fallon has some great stuff going on. I’d kill for that doll.
Matt Mullenweg is, in general, the nicest person in the world and if you can actually find a point of contention with him then you are doing something wrong.
