Scary things

I have a co-worker who continually remarks that some of the things I say are "scary". For example, when I talk about my monitoring robots who can respond to interesting events and alert humans of them. I don't think it's scary, but he does. Probably because his mind is poisoned by the science fiction of hollywood. T2000 is pretty damn cool but seriously, that's not what robots look like. So here's a collection of some random "scary things" I have the ability to do.

I can browse through the firewall's state table and read through port numbers. I know the port numbers by heart so I can get a glance of what network services each laptop is using at the moment and figure out what role they play in the team.

Future developments here

Use the dropio API and some custom Rails code to make a post which is a drop URL. Find all assets in drop of type "audio" and generate their embed codes. Then render that post as a list of embedded audio files in that drop. Boom! Playlist generator. muxtape style.

Makin a list, checkin it twice

Last night's 20 minute web design sesh went well. HAML For The Win. Here's what I'm interested in: # detact postable text for textile inaddition to HTML. this'll enable quick "rich text" formatting and also copy + paste embeds of other content from web services like flickr + drop.io # nail down all the templates generated by rails scaffolding with HAML. make some partials. # RSS feeds would be nice, make a resource at /feed that does this # make a special "one line bio" partial # make a "blogroll" data model and a posting method for "links" # pagination + archiving Then I can just brag about using vim + typing out URLs do "do stuff" on the web. yea!

Whew, that was close

After a horrible night trying to wade through the waters of Rails restful_authentication *for the second time*, I have figured out a way to post again. Tally so far: One custom template in HAML, default Rails blog scaffolding, moving over a style sheet I wrote 4 years ago and fighting with authentication. I wonder when I'll be posting non-meta things here? New Goal: Jan 19th.

HAML. Better than anything else.

Please HAML, don't hurt 'em.

Server in the closet

There used to be an era when everyone had a hacker friend with a server in the closet. That used to be me. Then I went astray for a while. It's good to be back.
