This weekend my sister came up for her birthday and she got a fancy new watch!

Luckily, noone could stop us from picking our noses in public …

In Louisville. Came in to see Katie. A few weeks ago she made the most amazing face ever.

Today, I received, by far, the strangest spam mail I’ve ever seen …

Have a nice day.

Rails day is over!

Jesse, Chad, and I wrote a scorched earth style tank game on top of google maps. Jesse had to do some wild and crazy reverse engineering on the maps api in order do crazy cool things like plop and remove waypoints without reloading the map (to ensure no flicker when moving around on the map, for example).

The game is a bit rough right now, as we didn’t have time to really polish the play before commiting our final revision at 1am, but we’re going to clean it up over the next few days and make a release, as well as add some good stuff to the google maps wiki.

Here’s a teaser … more to come.

Validate that puppy! You absolutely without a doubt must use this extension: Tidy validator for firefox

Also, if you are trying to think up clever .us domain names, here’s a list generated from /usr/share/dict:

So many are taken!

So I’m going to make a ‘life’ post some day soon, I promise. And I guarantee it will involve pictures of people wearing sombreros!

With rails, whenever you run a generate script, it often creates large numbers of new files in many different directories. You then may want to commit all of these to a subversion repository.

Unfortunately, ‘svn add *’ is not recursive. Luckily, we can accomplish this with good ol’ shell scripting:


svn status | grep "^\?" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn add


And much less pretty, but for files with spaces in them:


svn status | grep "^\?" | sed -e 's/? *//' | sed -e 's/ /\\ /g' | xargs svn add
