One of the neat features of Wordpress 2.5 is the click to install plugin upgrades, assuming the plugin is registered in the Wordpress Plugin Directory. If certain conditions are correct on the server it can do it in place, otherwise it tries to do it via FTP.
To make it so wordpress could upgrade them [...]

Place shifting action 3: Revenge of the Sith
3/20/2008 – 1:40 pm
Previously I put out an early version of my ruby based command line oriented tivo download script.
I’ve had a patch from MARK NOTARUS to make the menu have some more options and I’m using Console::ProgressBar from facets now.
It works well enough for my needs, but let me know if you hit any roadblocks. Just [...]
Place shifting action 2
11/15/2007 – 5:50 pm
I’ve been working on a command-line oriented TiVo2Go downloader so I can automate getting items off my tivo, or at least do it when I’m on the road via ssh (and then kick off that other script…) I’ve written a quick and dirty TiVo library, and a sample script called TiVo2Disk which uses the library.
On [...]

I’ve whipped up a quick ruby script that wraps ffmpeg to turn anything ffmpeg understand into something suitable for watching on an iPhone. It’ll work for a normal iPod too, probably, but I’ve got it fully keyed to the resolution of the iPhone.
Download it and check it out.

CMake so far
3/27/2007 – 10:10 am
I’ve been investigating cmake at work as a better build system for our cross platform C based projects. I’m thinking about starting up a third one, so now is the prefect time to really go after this as for one project we have a build system per platform and on the other we have [...]
I see your Nerd ABC and raise you a DORK ABC
7/21/2006 – 10:10 am
Parent Hacks had a post that alerted me to the Nerd ABC flashcards, which I totally want to get for my daugther. I shared this with the folks on IRC and it turned into a discussion, thanks to Steve thinking that Fruit Fly wasn’t nerdy enough, of what a set of Programming Language ABC [...]
emacs literal character…

I’m blogging this so I might remember in the future… I tend to always forget this.
If I want to do a character literal in emacs, its cntl-q.
XEmacs tricks
12/21/2005 – 10:27 am
Sean and Joe were talking on IRC about Steve Yegge’s post on Steve Yegge’s 10 Specific Ways to Improve Your Productivity With Emacs. He had me at #1. Seriously, the most important thing to me on his post was how to swap caps and control on XP.
Even though I currently prefer Xemacs, most [...]

Today I have learned of M-x toggle-truncate-lines
As an alternative to continuation, Emacs can display long lines by “truncation”. This means that all the characters that do not fit in the width of the screen or window do not appear at all…
You can enable or disable truncation for a particular buffer with the command `M-x [...]
ezRETS
6/24/2005 – 4:00 pm
I normally try to avoid posting about work, as that way often leads to being fired or other unpleasentness. However, I think its okay in this case.
I’m really excited about our beta release of ezRETS an ODBC driver for RETS data sources. This has been one of the coolest projects I’ve worked on [...]
