• 11.22.07 C6 Top Mac Apps 2007: Geeking Out posted in Geekery

  There are some things that normal people (the ones who spend less than 50% of their lives in front of a computer) just don’t need to know about. These probably fall into that list. For the rest of you, here are some of my favorite highlights from the “Geekery” world:

• 11.1.07 Man Alive posted in Geekery

  I just discovered Bwana while looking for something completely different. It can open and format man pages right in your web browser. I’ve found other utilities that beat paging in Terminal, but this is really nice. I’ve tried it in Firefox (man [manpage]) and in Safari (man://[manpage]) and it works great. If you’re feeling geeky or just wondering what the geek next to you is talking about, check it out. There’s nothing like a good, old-fashioned man page to put some hair on your chest.

• 10.19.06 The evolution of the web designer posted in Web Design

  I used to think I was special. I had both creativity and technical skills with computers. I saw in the workplace that creatives were hired to design, geeks were hired to program, and communication conflicts between the two often led to design disasters. I felt that my left brain/right brain balance […]

• 9.28.06 More TextMate and Blogging posted in Geekery

  This is an update on my adventures in blogging from TextMate. I use Wordpress, and some of this post is very specific to Wordpress, but most of what I have to share will work for other blogging software. Common Problems First, I’ll address a problem in the hopes that it will help somebody out. […]

• 9.4.06 AutoTag updated for UTW 3.141 posted in Downloads, Geekery

  Update 1/27/07: Development of these mods has ceased in lieu of the new xmlrpc version. Please check it out. It will only help those using offline editors, and at this point only adds Autotagging for TextMate, but I will consider other options in the near future. I just don’t want to […]

• 8.19.06 AJAX Contact Form bugs fixed posted in Geekery

  Thanks to the bug reports of a couple of users, I found some mistakes in the PHP for the AJAX contact form. I had to remove Bad Behavior from the distribution as it was causing problems with PHP5. If you use the distro, you might want to run Bad Behavior externally to […]

• 8.8.06 Senility and the Razr. And your regex dosage. posted in General

  I live in a small town. It took a while, but the day my local wireless company finally got the RAZR in, I snatched one up and promised myself I would take good care of it. I bought a plastic shell (I’ve been through three shells now) and screen protectors for it. […]

  Update: This plugin mod has been updated to work with Ultimate Tag Warrior 3.141! Please see this post. I have been unable to get the attention of Christine Davis to get any kind of authorization to release my mod, but I honestly think that some people might find it useful or be able to […]

• 8.5.06 Official Contact Form (Beta) Release posted in Geekery

  I’ve gotten enough requests for the contact form code that I’ve finally gotten around to cleaning up the code a little bit. I guess I figured that after I finally got CRE Loaded to play nice, I could afford an hour to make things look prettier for all the folks that were trying […]

• 7.31.06 And we’re back… posted in Geekery

  Back to the geekiness. I wrote a mod for the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin that automatically tags your post with your own tags by doing a search through the text you’ve written and comparing it to your taxonomy. I’d like to add a controllable fuzziness to the search, but other than that […]
