On a similarly snarky note, Stuff White People Like is fantastic. I particularly like the post on Natural Medicine, but that's taken for granted. 2008-02-16T07:06:36Z

I don't like the Guardian blog. It's filled with crappy comments. But every so often the crappy comments fit perfectly with crappy content - in this case a dull post by a nineteen-year old who is writing about his trip to India. The comments piled on hard with accusations of nepotism, cliche and utter shiteness. The editors at the Graun had to remove a lot of comments for being too vitriolic and personal, and eventually responded in a blog post. More at Gawker and digital lifestyles. 2008-02-16T06:54:23Z

Newly released: RDF API for Drupal 6.0 based on ARC2. 2008-02-16T06:23:01Z

Git remote snippet 2008-02-16T06:21:03Z

The other day I modified my Git setup for pulling in remotes. Before I was following the advice on this blog post about how to git pull in remotes, but after reading the manual decided that there is a better way:

mkdir Ruby\ on\ Rails.tmbundle cd Ruby\ on\ Rails.tmbundle git init git remote add drnic git://github.com/drnic/ruby-on-rails-tmbundle.git git fetch drnic git checkout -b drnic/two_point_ooh

This code makes you a new folder and initialises a repository inside, then it adds a remote source, fetches the remote source’s full repository and then checks out (and in the process creates) a new branch for the remote. Then updating is as simple as using the git fetch command followed by either checking out or merging.

Git really is the source code management utility of winners. I’m using it for updating Rena, the Ruby RDF library.

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

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. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
