Huh? Linting and compilation pull up just about every problem in the writing of CSS. The rest are browser bugs / quirks.

Autoprefixer and prefixfree allow for writing 1x declaration and as support improves over time the prefixes are automatically dropped from your build.

I've thrashed the bag over the last few months in terrible weather, and it's been outstanding. Jeff's quality of work is second to none, and I'm very happy with the product for what I paid. Why buy a bag yearly when this could last for 10 years? It fits 13 and 15" laptops, and I couldn't see myself using anything else for the foreseeable future.

This is amazing.

Great post, Dan - really well written.

Personally I'm still conflicted about using so many different classes for different breakpoints, but I'm finding that the whole "No grid for < tablet portrait" isn't always the best solution.

Quick heads up, the responsive mixin is missing a bracket:

@include respond-to(small-mode) {

For anyone out there using Rock Hammer, here's that mixin converted to work with Malarkey's breakpoint controls (also with my own custom breakpoint sizing comments, feel free to remove):

Holy flying batsh*t, that's great!

Anthony, the site displays fine in Firefox (v 20.0, OSX 10.8.3).

I absolutely agree. I've been in this position as a frontend dev many, many times. And that's WITH a decent contract, no bad gut feeling, great communication throughout. Ultimately, I can't control whether a client feels like paying my invoice or not. I commend this developer, he's done something I've always wanted to do.

I've got a 13" 2009 MBP w/ 2x internal hard drives. Also have a 3rd gen iPad. We sync everything to DropBox, but had major problems getting our SLR shots and my work synced while we were in Bolivia, the internet there was terrible. Argentina, Chile and Brazil have damn good internet.

That's great to hear about traveling here as an American. I was only going off what other Americans had told us, they had said it was harder than it needed to be. We have just about the same gear you're traveling with, and I totally agree; just don't flaunt it around in public and you're fine. We haven't had any problems at all (so far!) with that.

Definitely agree with the RTW ticket. We bought a one-way flight from Sydney to Buenos Aires, never looked back. It's an incredible amount of freedom not knowing which port will be your way home, or whether your trip will turn from 3 months into a year. Never lock yourself in to something that can't be altered, changed or cancelled without a massive hit to your finances.

There are a few things I'd take issue with in this post. I'm currently 5 months in to a South American trip, and developing along the way (frontend dev).

Firstly, a 90L is absurd and far, far too large. My girlfriend and I carry 38L Deuter packs that do the job perfectly, without breaking our backs.

If you're American, travel in South America can be difficult as visa's are required for almost every country. USA, Canada and Australia are forced to be between $80 and $150 when arriving by air in to Buenos Aires or Santiago. Australians also need a proper Brazilian visa to enter the country, and a flight out of Brazil.

It is definitely possible to work while you travel, but the added stress of having expensive pieces of hardware (MBP, iPad etc) with you while you're in these places can sometimes not be worth it.

I would highly recommend working your butt off and saving minimum $10k, potentially $15 / $20k and then leaving your tools at home and getting out there with the least amount of tech as you can manage. Still jump online, network, Twitter, meet folk along the way but focus on what's important; travel.

For the record, I purchased it via iTunes regardless of the fact that I've been a Spotify UK subscriber for 3+ years.

The record is definitely available on both Spotify UK and AUS, but as far as I can tell only half of it can be streamed if you haven't purchased the mp3's elsewhere.
