Labview_rails and development motivation
March 19, 2009Alright, my wife has been trying to convince me that I should share the one-off I wrote for our internal lab management, so today I finally got around to fixing the last *major* bug in the system, and putting it up on github. Yep, that’s right, you too can have a quasi-specialized lab management Ruby […]

From Newsbeuter to Instapaper with the Ruby RicePaper library
March 3, 2009I love Instapaper, a truly elegant solution without any needless over-architecting. I use it every day, for queuing up articles to read during a lull in the workflow around here.

Firefox/Safari on OSX’s keyboard annoyances
August 21, 2008I use keyboard shortcuts. A lot. So much in fact, that I find it incredibly annoying when websites create their own keyboard shortcuts for their pages. Most wiki-type pages (Wikipedia, Trac, Twiki) all use keyboard shortcuts on their sites. I am a firm believer that application-level keybindings should always take precedence over website keybindings, no […]
