I’m going to be showing some slides (and talking over the slides) and doing a demo of RubyCocoa tonight for the Boise ruby brigade. I’ll post the code and slides tomorrow for anyone that might care. Hopefully someone learns something (minimally, I think I’ll get a lot out of it)

27 years ago, I was born. On that same day, Professor Longhair passed away.

I’ll let you connect the dots.

Your favorite browser sucks! Mine does too. I rotate through Camino, Safari and OmniWeb. They all have strengths and weaknesses. After about two weeks, my default browser seems to have more weaknesses than strengths. So I switch!

“But what about my bookmarks!? and my saved form data!?” you say.

With that, I point you at WebnoteHappy[1] and [...]

We keep our home pretty cool during the winter. Since I work out of the house all day[1], I’m frequently bundled up with a hat and stuff. The one thing I can’t really cover well has been my hands. I needs to type. It’s what I do. To combat my whining about my cold hands, [...]

In order to keep myself busy, I’ve moved hosting providers again. If you notice any bumps, please let me know @ contact@roobasoft.com

The move is from pair (who I still highly recommend) to a slice over on slicehost (who I hope to be able to recommend). I got the slice to play with some rails stuff [...]

It has been quieter than usual around here lately. The reason for that is due to my typing skills being drastically crippled for the past week. Last Thursday I was preparing for a flight from New Hampshire to Boise (that involves about six hours in the air) and decided it’d be a good idea to [...]

I’m trading in my PowerBook for a bottom of the barrel white MacBook (I plan to add a 7200 RPM drive and 2GB of RAM sometime after purchase). If you need a PowerPC laptop, give mine a gander over @ eBay: 15″ PowerBook 1.67 Ghz 80GB 1.5GB SuperDrive Airport

If you “buy it now” [...]

Things will be quieter than usual here. My family (one wife, one 2.5 year old and one 8 month old) and I are moving from NH to Boise, Idaho. A truck picks up our stuff tomorrow and then we start driving out in our mini-van. We plan to arrive in Idaho on Tuesday, [...]

I previously mentioned that I store all my receipts on my iDisk with a naming style of:

yyyy_mm_dd_NAME_OF_FILE.pdf

To get the PDF on to the iDisk I had to say, Print, then “Save as PDF…” and I would manually give it the name with the date prefixed and fumble my way over to iDisk/Documents. This morning [...]

I’m addicted to Gus‘ Menu Accelerator. I no longer fumble through menu’s looking for what I want. I just start typing. It’s beautiful. The only problem was that it wasn’t a Universal Binary. I’m not sure if Input Managers work through rosetta or not, but even if they did, I [...]
