Reviews, speculation, and other idle thoughts on hardware, software, firmware…
We deployed our “Pemulis” version of K2 here on found_drama back in October; it has served us well but truth be told it carries a bit more bloat that we need. There’s the main style.css which carries hooks for plug-ins I don’t use (among other things) and then there’s Prototype and then there are all […]
Brilliantly funny “certification program” detailed at jcooney.net. I must admit that I prefer the re-styled badge featured on Coding Horror…
Revisiting last year’s list to make this the 2007 edition… It’s the Top 10 “it should have been in the box” applications for OS X. And in some cases, they are in the box; but in most cases they are not. That said, the top 10 “can’t live without ’em” applications for the OS X […]
Still recovering. I hate having to spend a Friday night “in” but still being a little on the sick side and having A. out of town on family business anyway… Well, it just makes more sense. Better to get healthy. Especially with Mardi Gras tomorrow. That should be a lot of fun. Our company has […]
Number 6 on my goal sheet for ’07 was to put myself into a position where I felt comfortable describing myself as possessing CSS mastery. I acknowledge that this is the most difficult to quantify. And even then, it isn’t really about CSS (which is easy enough on it’s own, I suppose) but how CSS […]
A. and I went out last night and did it up proper. Dinner out with some friends and then bounced over to the Half. Craig Mitchell was indeed playing there last night (and a right energetic set, at that) and thus did we get down. Dropped him a couple mixes, too. Hope he enjoys them. […]
A little update on my adventures with MacFUSE and sshfs… With the 0.1.9 release, they seem to have gotten things working quite a bit better. You can get “bundled” sshfs and SpotlightFS apps that serve as a GUI on top of these respective protocols (and just when I got the command line elements figured out, […]
For various reasons, I decided to give TextMate another try (as I may be hitting Smultron‘s upper limits). One of the reasons was to because I felt like trying my hand at a few Rails tutorials and TextMate is supposed to be the de facto standard editing environment for that kind of development 1 — […]
If you haven’t checked out Firebug for Firefox yet… DO IT NOW. That is to say: if you do any kind of webdev in Firefox, you should have this bad boy in your arsenal. Though I’m usually more of a Camino man myself, this little extension has put me into a Firefox renaissance these past […]
Following up on a couple of references yesterday, I decided to try out sshfs and MacFUSE. To (er…) mixed results. They both seem like tremendously cool ideas and I like the direction this is headed in (from a usability through not necessarily security-related stance); I wanted to try these out. Alas, neither seems to have […]
