Ian has been trying out Quicksilver equivalents on GNOME. I must get my Linux box kicking again soon. 2008-02-05T01:21:02ZUntitled entry permalink

Lawrence Lessig has a video up on why he supports Obama. 2008-02-05T00:54:03ZUntitled entry permalink

Another event I've been meaning to pimp is Aral Balkan's Singularity08, an online conference about the Web. Looks cool. 2008-02-05T00:51:19ZUntitled entry permalink

Josh Rosenau has a writeup on the prospects for the Science Debate now that the NAS is supporting the idea. 2008-02-05T00:49:06ZUntitled entry permalink

Flickr users are making their voices heard about the Microsoft-Yahoo! takeover bid. If Microsoft did buy Yahoo, I don't know what I would do with my photos on Flickr. Ideally, I'd like to have a distributed version of Flickr that I could run on my own site that implements the same kind of meta-data structure and community aspects that Flickr does but using OpenID, OAuth etc. I think a few more post-Web 2.0 shakedowns of this kind will force us all into maintaining our own data on our own servers and using open source tools to free ourselves from the possibility that someone evil could come along and buy up the companies that we trust with our data. 2008-02-05T00:44:45ZUntitled entry permalink

Also, Dr. Nic's post was what inspired me to finally get my Git and TextMate house in order. In the post, it also talks about Github which looks amazingly cool. I want a key badly but suspect I probably need to be an elite Rails nerd to get one. 2008-02-05T00:35:18ZUntitled entry permalink

Git TextMate bundle 2008-02-05T00:06:23ZTitled entry permalink

I've finally gotten the Git TextMate bundle to work. It's really cool.

And the first thing I've done is made a git repository for it and added a new command - 'Add All'. Often I'm working on a branch and want to bulk add a load of files. With the bundle as downloaded, you either have to use the commit dialog (which I found slightly ropey) or go to the command line. I've patched the version that's in the SVN so that you can have an Add All command - git-tmbundle-add-all.diff is my git-diff for it.

TextMate and Git are like chocolate and strawberry - great-tasting flavours that are even better together.

  • gitignore(5) []
    If you are using Git, it's not a bad idea to setup a .gitignore file - that way you can tell git to ignore irrelevant stuff like .DS_Store files on the Mac, .pyc and CVS/SVN fluff

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
