Not knowing the IP, my only option was to hop on the VPN and sweep the network for machines running ssh. There are obviously tools available to do this rather easily (nmap for example), but what fun is that? Kicking things off with a bit of ceremony, we'll import the required objects. Hostname timeout port] (let [sock-addr (InetSocketAddress. hostname port)] (try (with-open [sock (Socket.)...As yo...

http://travis-whitton.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
So it was written. Defn blog [stuff] (blog stuff). Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Not many languages are simple enough to have their entire syntax conveniently summarized in a table that fits on one screen. Luckily, Clojure is. The following is a summary put together based on the Clojure reader documentation. I'm a fan of tabular data, so I put this together for my own personal reference. Atom, foo-bar, *foo*, etc. 42, "foo", nil, true, false, c, :foo. Foo (like symbols, prefixed with colon). Jay Paroline - ...

Quite a bit of dispute arose about the actual phrasing of the question, so rather than plagiarize one of the many suggested variations, I'll spell it out here in plain english. Day 1, Monday:. Day 2, Tuesday:. If Bob only knew what Clojure could do for him, he could get his old life back, and Janet and the kids would come ...

so it was written...: Hot Code Swapping with Clojure
http://travis-whitton.blogspot.com/2009/09/hot-code-swapping-with-clojure.html
So it was written. Defn blog [stuff] (blog stuff). Tuesday, September 8, 2009. Hot Code Swapping with Clojure. Reading the Clojure mailing list, you'll notice that people frequently ask about updating code at runtime without restarting their program. Erlang includes this feature out of the box and has dubbed it, "Hot Code Swapping". It's not baked into Clojure nor is it regularly advertised as a feature, but it's easy to do and potentially very useful. Ns main (:use greeting repl-server) (defn main [] (l...

http://travis-whitton.blogspot.com/2009/10/crushing-pngs-with-ruby.html
So it was written. Defn blog [stuff] (blog stuff). Thursday, October 15, 2009. Crushing PNGs With Ruby. Nothing too special here. just a quick hack. I needed to recursively run pngcrush over a directory structure, and I couldn't find any examples of how to do this online. The following solves the problem nicely. Hopefully someone else finds this helpful. D, new dir) puts(%Q! Pngcrush -reduce -brute "#{file}" "#{new dir}/#{base file}"! From there, you can just do something like: crush.rb images sh.

So it was written. Defn blog [stuff] (blog stuff). Thursday, June 18, 2009. Clojure's Agents: Scientists, Monkeys, and MD5. This is an accurate description of what agents do, but I had to read that paragraph many. Times to really get it. If your eyes are still returning to fixed position, cast your fears aside, and let me take you by the hand. We're about to take baby steps through what agents offer followed by an incredibly contrived (and somewhat long-winded) example. We could have used an anonymous fu...

Why Software Sucks | Scott Berkun
http://scottberkun.com/essays/46-why-software-sucks
Speaking & Videos. No one makes bad software on purpose. No benevolent programmer has ever sat down, planning out weeks of work, with the intention of frustrating people enough to make them cry. Bad software, or bad anything, happens because making things is hard, making good things doubly so. The three challenges are:. Possessing the diverse skills needed to make something good. Understanding who you’re making the thing for. What it means to say This sucks. What is this for? This is cool / I love it.
