Pimp Happy Coding with arbor.js and foundation.

Recognised? I’ve updated happy-coding.com just for the sake of it. I like graphs somehow and stumbled across the wonderful arbor.js and just gave it a first quick shot to pimp the homepage.

There was some tweaking necessary to support images as nodes, so I have changed some parts of arbor, which you can see on GitHub.

Besides this I made this theme more responsive by using Foundation which is also a wonderful framework.

Twitter IDs approaching 64 bit

Oho, Twitters internal IDs are moving towards 64-bit integers. So remember to update your e.g. MySQL integer columns to BIGINT.

via dev.twitter.com:

This means that if you currently use signed 32-bit integers to track user IDs in your system, you should update your code to use 64-bit integers as soon as you can. To be safe, and to provide a date to aim for, we recommend making this change by July 1, 2013.

Happy 2013!

We wish you all a wonderful and healthy year 2013. With lots of nice lines of code, high code coverage and lots of fun. Stay happy and smooth.
