Shell scripts, JavaScript pedantry, CSS fixations, Java debugging, and the rest of the polyglotism.
Via Tao of Mac… Windows vs. Mac (the obvious one…) Debian vs. everything else Perl vs. PHP (vs. Python?) bash$ vs. tcsh% Developing for Mozilla vs. Developing for “the unmentionable majority” Instructions: List five similar (geek) issues you come across every other day, and add these instructions plus: A link back to the original post […]
WebDAV… Who knows anything about it? So far seems interesting but all the info seems relatively vague. The only thing I seem to know for sure is that .Mac uses it and web host does not. currently playing: Photek “Solaris”
x180 article on setting up Subversion via DarwinPorts. Notes to self: (1) re-re-check out Subversion as a CVS alternative; (2) WebDAV!; (3) DarwinPorts as a Fink alternative?
Perhaps the dirtiest-sounding Perl error message of all time: Bad index while coercing array into hash
My favorite XML/XSL editor, <oXygen/>, went to version 5.1 today. It’s a nice update but disappointing b/c of one seemingly minor thing. I was all excited that they added line folding.

I think I’ve reached that point with my sideproject. The `backticks` are all still part of the plan for actually pumping the data into MySQL […]
A little PHP buggery from the “just-for-fun” department, found_drama is … if not proud, at least delighted to present: iSpy (alpha version 0.2) — a random generator for “Eye Spy” style personals ads. (You all know the type…) Example: You: all leathered up with nowhere to go at the gym, like about a month and […]
As this project expands and meets head-on with this neat little nuance of Apple’s “plist” ish, I find myself at a fun little x-roads. To start with, there’s a whole lot of MySQL and PHP being re-learned at the moment. The funny part is, being an iTunes user, so much of my music collection is […]
Grudge match to the death. <found_drama v=’4.0′ /> vs. Apple plists. I’ll be damned if I don’t lick this son of a bitch. UPDATE: I suppose I should Google my challenges first. There’s always someone whose done it already, isn’t there?
