biztos: Printing with TextMate, vim and Friends.

http://biztos.blogspot.com/2008/06/printing-with-textmate-vim-and-friends.html

Wednesday, June 25, 2008. Printing with TextMate, vim and Friends. Are my favorite text editors. Unfortunately, TextMate has very little support for printing. It's a nightmare, really, and unlikely to be fixed any time soon. The author simply isn't particularly interested. My solution to the printing problem is, in short:. Print from vim to PostScript. Convert the PostScript to PDF. Open the PDF in Preview. Do all this with the standard command-P shortcut. First, here's the bundle item:. Once you've inst...

biztos: Evernote, Forevernote, Nevernote?

http://biztos.blogspot.com/2014/12/evernote-forevernote-nevernote.html

Wednesday, December 10, 2014. Evernote, Forevernote, Nevernote? I write a lot of things down, most of them on a computer. What I’m writing on a computer usually falls into one of several fairly typical categories:. I wish I could add. Otherwise it’s usually XCode. And of course Vim. Is the fallback. Thus you could say that the software-writing problem is solved, for better or for worse. I’ve used all of these as my primary e-mail client at some point; I’m not a Gmail type, nor do I “ gl...Call me old-fas...

biztos: Aronofsky's Noah

http://biztos.blogspot.com/2014/09/aronofskys-noah.html

Tuesday, September 23, 2014. I just finally got around to watching Noah. The sloshy epic starring Russel Crowe. And directed by Darren Aronofsky. Noah of course, the one with the Ark. And the affinity for Armenia. They survive the flood. But, given that you exist, you probably knew that already. Read on if you're not afraid of lesser spoilers. It had never occurred to me that Russel Crowe would have to build the whole stupid Ark by himself. Well, with the help of the womenfolk and Russel Brand. At that p...

biztos: April 2006

http://biztos.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 01, 2006. Thoughts after something of a pause. So it's been quite a while since I did any real blogging. I haven't even posted on Frostopolis. In ages. This is mostly because I've been very busy with my spiffy new job fighting spam. That and the parties. But in the meantime I've been thinking a lot about art and film and the future of the Web and all those other things. Google bought Writely. To which I say. About f-in' time, guys. View my complete profile. Project: This Like That. NeoNa&...

biztos: May 2007

http://biztos.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 26, 2007. Google Maps: Awesome Europe. I'm playing around with Google Maps lately. You can mark things on their global map and put information around your "pin" and make the whole thing public. This, I like. My first attempt at a "public map" is Awesome Europe. And the first entry is of course Bileca. TypePad as CMS: Maybe the next time. As I mentioned earlier. Wow, what a phrase. It's not what you think! S team, they're smart enough to get you 95% there. I also had some general nits bu...

biztos: Z Minus Ten

http://biztos.blogspot.com/2014/08/z-minus-ten.html

Friday, August 22, 2014. So I finally got around to watching Brad Pitt's Zombie Apocalypse movie World War Z. The central conceit is FAST ZOMBIES! And it's surprisingly effective. Fast Zombies. Kick your ass. Fast Zombies. Outrun the soldiers. Fast Zombies. Swarm like ants. Fast Zombies make faster action, Fast Zombies spread the Zombie Disease Fast Fast Fast! Cities fall, nations tumble, Fast Zombies threaten humanity! 1) They are attracted to noise. B) Build giant tar pits with sirens in the middle.

biztos: Merging the Apps, Merging the App Stores

http://biztos.blogspot.com/2014/06/merging-apps-merging-app-stores.html

Tuesday, June 10, 2014. Merging the Apps, Merging the App Stores. Apple’s recent World Wide Developer Conference revealed many exciting new software technologies. About which I will surely write more at some point. One interesting thing is that there is much better integration and communication between iOS and OSX on the horizon. This got me thinking: why are there still two Apple App Stores? Why are they so awful is another question, and out of scope for now.). But in terms of user perception we are tal...

biztos: Sending Error Responses in Poet

http://biztos.blogspot.com/2013/07/sending-error-responses-in-poet.html

Wednesday, July 10, 2013. Sending Error Responses in Poet. I'm playing around with Poet, a new Mason-based web framework in Perl. You can read more about it here:. Http:/ www.masonhq.com/. One thing seems under-documented: how do you deal with error pages? Well, you probably noticed there is a directory called "static/errors" and in it there are things like "404.html" and so on. So far so good: these are what they appear to be. But how do you trigger one? Great, so all we need is:. It turns out this is c...
