For whatever reason your stereo output might be flipped. Left on the right and right on the left. Windows has no "Swap stereo channels" button... go figure.

There's plenty of abandonware and overkill audio driver replacements. Or you can use Equalizer APO and add the following line to your config:

Google's I/O conference started yesterday. Here's some of my "notes for hackers"*:

Anyone can use Compute Engine - billed by the minute + PHP support

Google Cloud Datastore is a NoSQL db

There's a rad new Google Maps coming -- bring on the API mashupery!

Hangouts is the new cross-platform Google Talk and has created some controversy

Android Studio looks pretty rad, better than Xcode?

Send money from Gmail with Google Wallet

Android app translation can be automated

Android apps can be in beta (for testing) before production

There will be a new Galaxy S4 with Nexus OS released by Google

They really love Chrome

Dev tools are getting better and better (thanks Paul Irish)

They are fully on board with Web Components

asm.js (of Mozilla) will be a target of V8/Chrome                   \o/

Google Play Music All Access is a Spotify/Rdio competitor

Google+ got a visual overhaul and some cool new photo features

Larry Page's closing was enjoyably authentic and that of a true hacker

  If you made it this far and are craving more, the Google Developers Google+ page is chock full of more resources and announcements (no, really, they've been super annoying with their updates lately).

  Relevant gif for those who saw the Auto Awesome part of the keynote.

I made a slightly more hip version of AngularJS's obligatory todo app example.

CoffeeScript, Express, Jade, Stylus.

It will probably serve pretty well as a boilerplate for Node-powered, single-page applications. Just add Mongo and stir for extra dev-hipster factor.

Handlebars, Haml, and CoffeeScript.

You can set custom, per-syntax preferences. Here is my Ruby.sublime-settings file:

me: i've got it in my pipeline, so i'll loop back around and drop you a line. the ROI on this one looks good

First things first, Instagram doesn't have an open API. A client must be authenticated to retrieve users and their media. Luckily, the API does support JSONP, so we can create a front-end gallery with just an access token.

Instagram doesn't allow a client to grab media by username, a user id is required. So, we have to chain a couple calls together, if we only have a username.

Sometimes you just need to protect a specific route (from being crawled, for an admin resource, the perception of security, etc.). With Express.js it's extremely easy to drop in Connect's basicAuth middleware (in CoffeeScript):

This will protect the root route (and only the root route) with the username and password from line 4.

How's that for an SEOd article title?

Almost all of the highly ranked search results for uploading files with Express are outdated (citing deprecated modules like connect-form). Node moves fast. So, on that note, this may too be wrong by the time you're reading it, beware.

Disclaimer: 2.0 is in no way final! This is only for those on the bleeding edge, trying to prepare their work for the next version of Twttr Bootstrap.

12 columns is the new 16 columns.

.topbar is now .navbar, and .topbar > .fill is now .navbar > .navbar-inner.

Use the data-toggle attribute for dropdowns and tabs.

.zebra-striped is .striped-table

** See Update Below **

We're all very excited about the responsive layout.

A few quick screenshots of some element additions I dug up in the 2.0 branch of Twitter's Bootstrap:

Update! Including icons, carousel, step and side navs, new pretty print, and thumbnail content.

Add a build system that doesn't write Javascript files to your project. Tools > New Build System... > copy/paste:

{ "cmd": ["coffee", "-p", "$file"], "selector" : "source.coffee", "path" : "/path/to/coffee" }

Save it (ST2 will default to the correct location if you use "New Build System...").
