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.

And I know which one I got wrong… A second after I clicked the wrong answer I knew the right one. Oh well, I guess that keeps me from getting 100%.
Dave Dribin once again rocks
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 [...]

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.

Experimenting with Twitter
11/7/2007 – 11:28 am
I first played with Twitter back in August when I was at a Conference and they kept saying “it was the thing to do.” The official conference Twitter feed never got updated and it just seemed like the latest fad of the “social internet.” I just let my twitter account pretty much die.

Preach on (about SSH,) Brother Dave
8/21/2007 – 10:35 am
Dave Dribin wrote up a nice post about people breaking some of the first ’s’ in ssh and how that annoys him and ways to get around it. Its really a good read and really hammers home the point of using ssh-agent, which Dave initially exposed me to. Being able to ssh around [...]

Church of the Drazi?
7/16/2007 – 1:03 pm
At our church last Sunday, at the gathering of the youth, the youth pastor was telling the children the story of the Good Samaritan. To relate it to the children he used green paper and purple paper, instead of different tribes of men. Sitting up front with my daughter, I kept thinking of [...]
