• 8.7.07 UTW-rpc 1.5r: Fix for Fix posted in Geekery

  I decided not to compensate for the new changes in xmlrpc.php regarding the date/time format, but rather leave it up to the user to upgrade their Ruby install if it was broken. The conversation that details this and links to more resources can be found here. The version that compensates is still available, but for those who’ve managed to get their Wordpress 2.2.1+ blog working with TextMate without the plugin, version 1.5r is for you. Sorry for any confusion and my indecision. Details on the download page.

• 7.30.07 Brainstorm posted in Geekery

  Mindmeister has exposed an API. Hmmmm… Jott2Mindmeister? I’m working on porting the flickr ruby wrapper right now, should lead to some interesting possibilities. My first project is actually just a little script that will push a line from TextMate to a mind map for later brainstorming. It’s almost identical to the Flickr API, so the transition shouldn’t be too difficult…

• 7.16.07 My weekend with XSLT posted in Web Design, Geekery

  I just spent a very long weekend teaching myself XSL. I don’t mean long as in more than two days, but long in that I didn’t sleep and played with this stuff for hours straight. Days straight, actually. Too long. What I’m really trying to figure out is how to get this to apply to my current design. I can now fully see the power (and limitations) of xml and XSLT, but I don’t have a lot of applications that require such a technology. So here’s what I put together…

• 7.13.07 HTML Indexing Bundle posted in Web Design

  The HTML Indexing commands have evolved into a full bundle for TextMate. For those of you who told me the original commands saved you some time on your last project, this should make the next one a breeze. The shot on the left shows a quick preview of the new auto-index with summaries command, which scans for all anchors and pulls the first 10 words following them to create an index using a definition list with even/odd classnames on the lines for styling. Download is at the end of the post. Here’s a rundown from the included help file…

• 7.2.07 Minor Jott2iGTD bugfix posted in Geekery

  Jott2iGTD had been looking for Ruby in /usr/local/bin but the standard install should be in /usr/bin. I changed the shebang (the first line of the ruby script) to the proper location, so it should work for more users now. If you’ve been having trouble running the script (nothing happened), download the newest version and you should be okay. There are further instructions on the download page for customizing the shebang as necessary.

• 7.1.07 Holy Cow! Jott2iGTD 1.1 posted in Geekery

  I had a bit of a brainstorm. We can run the sqlite3 command line utility as a shell command and get the output as an array. No extra libraries needed. Sorry to anyone who’s already installed sqlite3-ruby, but it won’t hurt anything ;). The download page has been updated with version 1.1, which is back to just the applescript and ruby script with no external libraries required.

• 6.30.07 Quick iGTD Next Actions with Quicksilver posted in Geekery

  I started digging through the sqlite3 database for iGTD to see what fun I could have with it. Here’s a little ruby script that, in combination with quicksilver, will pop up a large type window of your top 5 next actions…

• 10.6.06 Dipping my toes in RoR posted in Geekery

  Okay, this is another uber-geeky post, but I promise I’ll get back to some design related topics over the weekend… this is, after all, supposed to be a geek/design blog. I signed up for a year of TextDrive yesterday. My primary motivation being to get my feet wet with Ruby on Rails. I’ve […]
