Sometimes, the best projects come out of the dumbest disputes. I was in my room, and my former roommate Clockfort and Russ got talking about old chat protocols that we used to use.  read more »

Interesting Trends in Vim

Matt Behrens (asktherelic.com) - January 15, 2012 - 2:31pm

Something I've noticed lately with vim plugins are that miniscripts and smaller vim tweaks, any sort of vim functionality, are being packaged and shared as a proper vim plugins via git, not just big IDE style plugins. This may not be an entirely new idea, but I think it's becoming more of the norm to use pathogen and git submodules to share everything vim related, rather than copying and pasting actual code, I think the idea of managing everything via git, github, and git submodules is pretty neat.  read more »

Backup Everything You Did Last Year

Matt Behrens (asktherelic.com) - January 2, 2012 - 8:58am

A habit I've developed over the last few years is to backup all of my online artifacts and identities once the year ends. Maybe I'm just a bit paranoid, but in this day and age with more and more things being stored in the cloud, control and access to your data is being shifted to faceless servers and scripts that can disconnect you quite easily with little recourse.  read more »

2011 In Review

Angelo DiNardi (angelo.dinardi.name) - January 1, 2012 - 3:00am

I like to track things over time. Looking back over the last year I realized the path I took was, well, a bit random at times.  read more »

Goodbye, 2011.

Jordan Sissel (semicomplete.com) - December 31, 2011 - 7:29pm
This year's been pretty good, but the last two months were pretty lame.

In the last six weeks, I found out Caramel has lymphoma, got unemployed, and had emergency surgery to remove my appendix on Christmas Day.  read more »

2012 Python Meme

I wanted to do some kind of reflection this year, so may as well hop on the bandwagon.  read more »

rvm and perlbrew

Will Orr (worrbase.com) - December 27, 2011 - 12:00am
I was kind of an idiot in my last post. I wrote a ruby script to symlink my gems’ executables to /usr/local/bin. Well that’s dumb.  read more »

Summer of Fun

Dan Lampie (danlampie.com) - November 20, 2011 - 11:31pm

It’s hard to believe that the summer is already a distant memory.  Even though I didn’t go on many photo excursions this summer, I was still able to capture a wide range of photos.  I biked into Philly to get some great shots of the city, spent a night in Niagra Falls, and did some hiking in the Poconos.  Enjoy

Lighting Above My Apartment.  This shot was lucky, out of 100 photos only four actually captured lighting.  read more »

VW Beetle Project Part 6

Angelo DiNardi (angelo.dinardi.name) - November 9, 2011 - 3:00am

Recently I decided to re-upholster the seats in the Bug. Thus far I’ve made it through the two front seats. It’s been about 16+ hours of labor so far.

The process is basically:

Version 1.0 of Comcast Bandwidth Usage

Matt Behrens (asktherelic.com) - November 8, 2011 - 1:01am

After receiving some patches on GitHub this weekend and renewing my interest in this project, I've decided to tag a 1.0 version of my Comcast Bandwidth Usage script! After being stable for atleast a year and combined with these new feature, it's probably worth finally tagging a stable version.

What's new in 1.0?  read more »

Unix Style Cron on Heroku's Cedar Stack

Matt Behrens (asktherelic.com) - November 5, 2011 - 2:40pm

I've been playing with Heroku for a project and wanted to use the default cron addon to run a Python script and only email if that script printed anything to stdout; regular Unix style.

This repo is my attempt that.

Overall, I definitely accomplished what I set out to do! I've been very impressed with Heroku's Cedar stack and how flexible it is. It's awesome being able to script the creation of an enviroment and instantly see if my script is working or not.  read more »

A Return To Normal

Matt Behrens (asktherelic.com) - October 26, 2011 - 9:35pm

The last few months have been a bit hectic: a few weeks traveling through NYC and DC, a new job in San Francisco, a cross country drive, and a few apartment moves. Thankfully, my life has finally reached the point where I am comfortable again and can start coding and writing in peace. My new job has kept me quite busy, but what little free time I find, I try and make good use of.  read more »

Perl and Dubstep

Drew Stephens (dinomite.net) - October 26, 2011 - 7:30am
In the past year, I have come to quite like dubstep, a burgeoning electronic music genre. Perhaps this is a more interesting introduction than an article. Dubstep's current phase reminds me of generalized techno (mostly house & dance) during the... Drew Stephens http://dinomite.net/about-me.html
