#Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows

It all started with an email from a client: Do these fonts look funky to you? The title is prickly.

The font in question was Port Lligat Sans from Google Web Fonts.

The "prickly" is aliasing caused by lack of hinting

 * Safe Search and Replace on Database with Serialized Data v2.0.1
 *
 * This script is to solve the problem of doing database search and replace when
 * developers have only gone and used the non-relational concept of serializing
 * PHP arrays into single database columns.  It will search for all matching
 * data on the database and change it, even if it's within a serialized PHP
 * array.

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.
