First thought: potatoes. Nah, the steak was going to be rich and adding creamy potatoes would have taken the meal over the top. Fortunately, I’d already found a suitably lighter alternative with turnips and other tubers. So, it’s your turn turnips; braise in that cream!
Ingredients (serves 2)
One large fresh turnip
One cup half and half (for a lighter cream)
Dice the turnip into bite-size chunks, and sauté in olive oil for about 5 minutes seasoning them with salt and pepper to taste. Add the half and half, cover, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 45 minutes.
Overall, the turnips made a great alternative to potatoes — highly recommended!

New Relic has quickly become an invaluable tool for monitoring performance of Key Ring for me. I found myself constantly checking the dashboard, partly for the graph, but mostly for the quick metrics at the top. Namely, I pay the most attention to requests-per-minute, response time, and errors.
Why keep a browser window dedicated to this? Fortunately, New Relic provides an API, so I whipped together a quick and dirty menu bars app to display the stuff I care about. Here’s what it looks like:
If you’d find this useful, feel free to download the app here.
Warning: The app is very simple. It prompts you for your New Relic API key and then loads your first Account and first Application. Perfect for my needs, but I’m open to suggestions. Do a lot of you have multiple accounts or applications? If so, I can add an account/application selector.
Update: I’ve added support for multiple accounts and applications. Get the new version here!
Feel free to contact me a brit at britg dot com with suggestions or feature requests!
Thanks! I’m planning to add a few more features and put it on the Mac App Store. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll share it on github for sure. In the mean time, you can check out this older project that’s open source: https://github.com/crossforward/rpm-status

Hey Brit,
Excellent stuff. However, IMHE most people using RPM monitor multiple apps indeed, so an app/host selector would be a top requirement (I, for one, monitor 25+ apps across 3 accounts).

The other day I was chatting with a guy about the overly restrictive cross-domain request policy and how silly it is given the pervasiveness of cross-domain apps on the web today. Most devs get around this restriction with hacks like jsonp or nested iframes anyways. I told him that it’s high time we move past this archaic security measure and take web apps to the next level!
He just said, “Uh… do you want to upgrade your coffee to a venti for only 35 cents more?” Always the salesman that guy…
Cross Origin Resource Sharing
Recently I stumbled across this article on the excellent Mozilla Hacks blog. Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). Sweet! Finally a true implementation of cross-site XMLHttpRequests.
The CORS standard works by adding new HTTP headers that allow servers to serve resources to permitted origin domains.
They’re getting everything right with this one:
it’s completely opt-in server-side, so browsers can implement CORS without opening up a bunch of security holes,
it uses the existing XMLHttpRequest object so current code can easily start working cross-domain,
and it’s totally transparent to the client-side developer — validation, pre-flighting, and access control is all handled within the XMLHttpRequest object without any additional code!
Apparently it’s been in the works at the W3C for a couple of years (formerly known as ‘Access Control‘). But only the most recent versions of Firefox and webkit based browsers are starting to support it. Of course Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided it would be best to implement their own spec, XDomainRequest. Some things never change…
The Holy Grail
Not the knights who say Ni
Is this a big deal? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this is the holy grail of web development!
Why? For one, there isn’t a good, non flash-based way to implement cross-domain long-polling/comet. If there’s one thing that’s going to define the next generation of the web, it’s real-time apps. CORS enables efficient real-time “mashups” (hate that term) that don’t rely on iframe hacks or flash.
Psh… cross-domain, real-time? Nothing more than a niche application, right? Not so fast.
The web will soon (if not already) start its industrial revolution. A “building up” versus the “building out” if you will. New web development will progressively become based around existing sites, rather than the creation of new sites. A true cross-domain solution is vitally important to this.
No, no, I’m not saying that people will stop creating new sites — that will always happen. I’m saying startups will turn more and more to building apps targeted at sites users are already invested in instead of trying to get them to some new property.
Those little ‘Feedback’ widgets you see all over sites now.
A new ecosystem is emerging: apps built with web technologies that run on other sites. But they’re mostly iframe based with all the restrictions that iframes have (no access to the DOM, slow, etc). With CORS, developers can almost seemlessly develop apps cross-domain with all the power of same-domain scripting, making it the most important development to come along since the XMLHttpRequest!
In future posts I’ll delve into this “industrial revolution” of the web, but for now… back to that grail.
Ok, so I was a pirate before I attempted to get Netflix Watch Instantly working, but the truth isn’t as controversial. Here’s the story: I read on Lifehacker, via Joystiq, that it’s possible to play Netflix’s ‘Watch Instantly’ offering via an xbox 360 extender on my TV. Awesome! I no longer have to go download TV shows from less-than-reputable sources - I can legitimately pay to watch these shows and support them.
First off, that Netflix plugin for the 360 is beta software and known to be glitchy. Netflix and Microsoft are under no obligation to support every random beta piece of software on the internet. You could always buy Roku's box to do this for $100 which Netflix supports. You could always just wait until the fall update, then the 360 under MSFT will support this directly on the 360 with no PC/software. Either is a better setup.
You are a self proclaimed pirate, yet you demand to be able to have high def content without any DRM. Good luck with that.
Pirates like you always claim it is so easy to get any TV show you want instantly. That is BULLSHIT. If you want to wait hours for a 23 minute TV show, be my guest. It only makes more discs available for me on my Netflix account. Which, apparently their primary service is of no interest to you for $10 or so a month.

Unfortunately, I never got to the 360 plugin – 'Watch Instantly' wouldn't even work on my computer because Netflix's DRM didn't like the fact that I was using a DVI cable and a new ATI videocard. Last time I checked, it doesn't take an obligation by Microsoft or Netflix to support a DVI cable or video card for streaming video. Microsoft intentionally put DRM in place in collusion with Netflix to PREVENT my setup.
I'm definitely looking forward to the fall update so I don't have to go through my PC to the xbox, though.

My bad on the beta software. It does sound like a lot of hoops to jump through for your setup. However, to be fair they do need some kind of DRM. Also, it most cases VGA is about as good as DVI. Also, HDMI is going to kill DVI anyway. Odd are your video card and monitor have VGA, since it does have DVI. They can't support every option out there.
I don't think you are going to find a more “fair use” media option out there for the price than Netflix. However, if you think bittorent outweighs changing a cable and driver and paying $10/mth, to each his own.

The real problem is that Hollywood demanded the ability to restrict the computer hardware that you use. And Microsoft took their side. So now I can't use my high res LCD monitor to watch movies from Netflix, but I can use my crappy old CRT? I don't blame Netflix. I blame Microsoft.

What a terrible experience Netflix and Microsoft are forcing on their paying customers. When I installed Vista on my machine right after it came it, I got an error when I tried to play many of my DVDs saying that I needed to install a video driver that supported some DRM scheme before I could watch a legally owned DVD! Now I just use http://www.tvrss.net/shows/ along with Miro to get the TV programming I don't capture on my Tivo. Screw you, MPAA, Microsoft and Netflix.

What is your argument that they need some kind of DRM is needed? So some pirate can't copy and distribute a T.V show or movie that's already on Thepiratebay? This is just making it harder for legitimate users to use and pushing people to download shows someplace else that works. The real problem is DRM doesnt work to protect shows, it just pisses off legitimate users.

“However, to be fair they do need some kind of DRM”
Yeah – but everyone says that's a given – but is it really? Making that statement starts you down a path that ends with us all thinking that it's a-ok to have to diagnose and troubleshoot these types of problems.
I think that if the content companies did any sort of analysis, they'd find that they don't need DRM. I think people want to pay for content and will if the DRM is either unobtrusive enough that people don't really notice it (like Apple's fairplay . . . more or less) or absent completely (eMusic or Amazon MP3 store).

Development of digital technologies occurs prompt rates. Does not lag behind progress and digital TV. Speaking about digital TV, we first of all mean satellite TV. The digital satellite TV becomes more and more accessible to simple users. The market paid satellite tv also is not necessary on a place. The new digital standard of TV of high clearness HDTV actively develops and takes root. The satellite TV becomes more and more directed on the spectator. Besides digital quality of the image, advantage of satellite systems also is also the extensive cover zone of the companion.
I had the same problem britg with Firefox, does it mean that it cannot work with Firefox at all. I have removed the IE on my system, or not sure if it is in the background but have never used it. Have been a Firefox lover.. Thanks for the insight into working with Netflix it is going to be great to make it happening

Sure, with a bit of research on the net into bittorrents, there is no need to pay for any shows, music or films. Netflix is just another company trying to pull a fast one…
