While I was in AZ for work last week I once again got to stop by the Draco Vista studios. This time it was for a recording of Wingin’ It 3D. I had met Mike and Lorrie before, who are awesome people, but I also got to meet the awesomeness of Debbie, Eliza, [...]

Spam Subject of the week
4/10/2008 – 6:50 am
You know, I shouldn’t be shocked by this anymore, but I still am. I love the niche markets that some spammers go after.
Subject: I know what ladies do on a farm. DO NOT leave them there unattended!
Do not leave your spouse on a farm unattended. She may replace you with animals and you will [...]
Fix/Tricks for plugin auto-update on Wordpress 2.5
3/31/2008 – 10:47 am
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.

Looks like both the upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 and to keeping my WP up to date by using subversion went smoothly. I should have done the svn thing a long time ago.

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 [...]
Our long twitter nightmare is over!
3/20/2008 – 12:56 pm

2/1/2008 – 3:56 pm
So, apparently, to get a shit load of hits on your blog you need a popular afternoon radio show to mention something you mentioned once on your blog and is among the top three hits. My server was having a nice little load and traffic spike as a result.
My unique visitors just today are [...]

11/29/2007 – 10:42 am
Dave is having a rocking week. He started with the 1.0 version of his QLEncript plugin to get QuickLook to show color syntax highlighted code files. Here’s a quick screenshot of it in action on my laptop.
Today, to continue his rocking, Dave posted on Leopard’s ssh, ssh-agent, keychain interaction and ways to make it a [...]
