This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.

The first time you come to any Flickr page, we store the width of your browser window in a cookie. We can then read that cookie on the server on subsequent page loads.
Gotta love a simple solution.
Joshua Cohen (writing at the Flickr dev blog) breaks down some of the details about the new push notification services for the new Flickr mobile app. I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise that they’re using Node.js to power the service. It’s a pretty long post, but it’s worthwhile for the details.
