I’m spending a lot of time with the SVN command line right now because we’re trying to get a product release out the door. One thing that I’ve found handy is the ability to get the comments and list of files changed for a certain revision number. This is fairly commonplace for SVN GUI tools, [...]

If you’re running an older version of Ubuntu that has been EOL’ed (End of Lifed) then you’ll at some point need to install a new package using apt-get. When trying to do this you’ll likely get a 404 erros saying the package isn’t found. Your choice is to either upgrade Ubuntu to a new version [...]

I’m getting more and more follows from “Twitter Whores”. Generally I can tell they’re spam follows before I even click on the link because they’re username will be something like Username1975.

I’m seriously considering some bumper stickers [...]

Many people don’t realize how difficult it is to do design work with a built-in laptop mouse. I just bought a shiny new Bluetooth Mighty Mouse this weekend and was all excited about using it for my new job. What do I do? I left it at home. This is absolutely [...]

Wow. Where has the time gone. Just last week I put in my notice at SensorLogic and decided to take the path down entrepreneur lane. It was an EXTREMELY difficult decision as I truly believe in what SL is doing as well as all the brilliant people that work there. [...]

The title seems a little harsh, but seeing this video really makes you wonder where the innovation lies. It seems that Windows Vista steals a few pages out of the OS X book. Although I remember the OS X dashboard concept being a page out of the Konfabulator book. So maybe there [...]

It’s the little things that make me smile. A friend of mine was in Mountain View today and he picked up the access point listed below. This is a screen of Google’s unsecured wireless network with SSID “GoogleWifi”. Random, but cool nonetheless.
