Wednesday, May 14, 2014 ∞. Previously I mentioned that I was going to be working on my own self-hosted solution for replacing GitHub. I’ve been working on it and I am happy with this first step. There were two things I wanted to cover with this: a place for me to push repositories and others could clone from, and a static Jekyll blog to serve project information and code snippets. Done and done! The main deal with all the informations. Browse and clone the code and commits from the repositories.

Where did the screen savers go? Wednesday, February 25, 2015 ∞. In this time of laptops and iPads I guess they just are not nessicary most of the time. I say most of the time, because ever since I have worked in an office I feel like I have needed a nice screen saver. My habbit when I get up from my desk is to lock my Mac behind a password protected screen saver. What makes a good screen saver? Am I going to miss the bus going home? No clocks, not even the beautiful Fliqlo. A few weeks ago on Back to Work.

A Friend Request to MailChimp. Thursday, February 26, 2015 ∞. MailChimp is a great product and friend of the podcasting community, so this may be weird to hear: I do not think MailChimp is a friend to the people who receive emails from them. I wish they would be. MailChimp made a product for advertisers and marketers, which is small percent of the people they interact with. How many of the automated emails are emails you asked for? Update: MailChimp Compliance Team Reaches Out. I received an email from M...

The Self-Destruction of GitHub. Thursday, April 24, 2014 ∞. When I moved out to San Francisco I was infatuated with GitHub. They seemed to. I was walking home from the bottom of Potrero Hill when my friend, who I encouraged to join GitHub, messaged me a link. TechCrunch had just broke that Julie Ann Horvath had left GitHub because of bullying. Wrote on the company blog that they were going to make things right. Then comes radio silence. During the radio silence, Adrianne Jeffries. The blog that used to f...

Alfred Remote for iPhone and iPad

Alfred Remote for iPhone and iPad. Thursday, February 19, 2015 ∞. Do you remember the Optimus keyboard. It was this cool idea for a keyboard with little screens for each key. If you were in Photoshop it would highlight all the Photoshop shortcuts and stuff like that. It never really came out as a usable product, as far as I know. It was more of a proof of concept that was neat for the time. Alfred Remote essentially is my Optimus keyboard. One of the limitations of Alfred Remote is that it requires you t...
