Stupid bash tricks

Oh, hey, I have a blog. Who knew! So, let me cross-post to it. Stupid bash tricks with Kit La Touche! When you want to run a long-running task in a terminal, and leave it and do other things, but not lose time between when it finishes and you check it, it’s time for audio! …

Forward

So, John recently showed me this cool service, Foward. They are useful for two main things: showing off your development on localhost to people on the other side of the NAT, and developing on localhost with calls to external services that need to then call you back. Basically, it’s just a reverse proxy. So, without …

Metablogging

Wow, so it turns out I do write a lot, about thoughts and analyses and impressions and responses, but that’s all going on over on G+ lately. Something about the medium works. Less metadata, better commenting community. No expectations that posts are fully developed, so they end up being, well, fully developed, because I can …

Wind and Things Unspoken

Here I am, sitting in a mostly dark room, processing thoughts on class and drama and just not talking about it inspired by watching the beginning of Downton Abbey, and the wind outside is howling. Yeah, I love fall.

My Personal Guernsey

That one goes out to all you Victor Hugo fans. I’ve found an island in the sea of job-hunting. I’m working with 3atmospheres, some nice folks out of NYC. I’m doing Django development primarily, and I’m likely to start posting some things about that here, as I work on interesting problems.

What a Long Strange Journey

Oh, hi, what’s this doing here? I feel like I should blow the dust off this blog. A lot of things have supplanted my writing here: most of my writing has been about game design, most of my thinking about life has been in discussions with the lovely Allie, and a lot of my energy …

Occupy

So, I went to Occupy Denver today. Marched around the 16th Street Mall, and thought. I was pretty silent: not shouting slogans, not carrying a poster. It felt very off to me, at first. But eventually, it came together in my mind, and I figured out what it meant to me. The strongest message, for …

Ups and Downs

I always feel like I’m on thin ice in Boulder. Things can go very well, and that’s fine, but bad news hits me harder. I feel like I have no reserves with which to meet it. Right now, I’ve had a great up and a bit of a down, and the whole thing has me …

Find the Fun

Lately, I’ve been posting over at G+. It’s been longer-than-Twitter-shorter-than-blog type half-baked posts. But I think this warrants a blog post. In Nora England and B’alam Mateo-Toledo’s endangered languages class, we were discussing the issue of getting community members—most particularly kids, the lynchpin of language revitalization—to care about their endangered language. And most particularly, to …

Gaming as a service

There are always a lot of people panhandling and busking on the Pearl St. Mall here in Boulder. But today, as I walked along with the first drops of rain starting to flick through the sky, after a good lunch with a good Rosetta Stone friend, I saw a funny thing. Someone sitting with a …
