@Reid-Cooper They also eat the asian equivalent of breadsticks over there to mark the occasion:

Apparently it's "Singles Day" in China, a holiday I'd never heard of until today.

It's like cyber monday here, apparently, but with more single people.

I think this topic might be the longest NodeBB topic in existence.

Every week I've been saying it's right around the corner, so... it's right around the corner.

In other news, Node.js seems to have launched v5... so now officially, Node.js burns through major revisions faster than we issue patch revisions. What a world we live in.

Time to re-rail this topic...

@scottalanmiller Prepping launch for v0.9.0

Some of the software on these routers is atrocious. I don't just mean the awful grammar and spelling in the ASUS router I bought, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if password checking was just something like:

var password = document.getElementById('password').value,
    correctPass = 'foobar';

if (password == correctPass) window.location.href = "/secure/index.html";

Oh wait, this actually happens in practice!

Childhood memories of Nutella and Cream Crackers (maybe this is an HK thing... maybe it's just a me-thing, who knows)

Alright, changelog updated, finally

Eek, if I'd known people were going to read th e release notes, I'd keep them more up to date!

I'm out of town, but that'll be the first thing I fix when I get back

I prefer my TVs to be "dumb", just monitors.

Likewise. The same goes with cars, though I also feel this way because car and television manufacturers are pretty godawful at creating a good interface.

Last time I had a GPS device, the wanted $299 and a US shipping address to deliver the map update package, a digital asset. Why bother when the interface and maps are updated for free by Google?

Oh, blogging... I keep wanting to do it, but like others have said, finding new, fresh, engaging content is harder than it looks!

I've found it easier to blog on my company blog instead, although then I can't talk about food

Perhaps I can get a label for being a NodeBB rep

I'm listening to the "Go", by Valley Lodge, as Last Week Tonight with John Oliver just came back on the air last night
