hmm. "Ohloh update completed 1 day ago" at https://www.ohloh.net/p/dvn/enlistments but still " Analyzed over 2 years ago based on code collected over 2 years ago" at https://www.ohloh.net/p/dvn |

i wonder if any of you are using the "command line" only xcode or if you just install the regular 1.5 GB version: "Today, Apple added a beautiful new package to their official developer tools suite: Command Line Tools for Xcode. It's a 171 MB download that includes all of the tools a Homebrew should ever need" -- http://kennethreitz.com/xcode-gcc-and-homebrew.html (can't find a direct link) |

I ended up buying "Apprenticeship Patterns" after trying a sample via Kindle. Only just started but enjoying it so far. I like the mindset of not getting comfortable in assuming you know everything you need to know and don't need to improve. |

sounds good |

spilth: if you were going to start a programming project for fun, what would it be? |
| 15:44 |
|
spilth |
Maybe something from my ideas blog: http://ideas.spilth.org/ |
| 15:45 |
|
spilth |
But generally it would be something around one of my hobbies (mountain biking, video/board games, music, geeky stuff) |

I made a simple version of Astrosmash using Ruby at one point |
| 15:53 |
|
spilth |
I would do Nightstalker next. That was a family favorite |
| 15:54 |
|
spilth |
Ah, I did publish the code: https://github.com/spilth/astroblast |
| 16:02 |
|
pdurbin |
hmm, haven't heard of those. i've played centipede |
| 16:04 |

I've played with the game engine http://unity3d.com/ over the years, which has a free version available. You can code in JavaScript and/or C# (also Boo, a version of Python, but not used much) |
| 16:16 |
|

I did want to mention this on-topic project of mine though - https://vimeo.com/18717660 - a screensaver that display software development tips |

The idea being that when you step away from your computer you come back to a message that perhaps subconsciously reminds you of a good practice |

At some point I want to have my own sourcefu. I like the idea of taking notes in automatically logged/dated form. |

I often take notes using Markdown files, but then I have to remember to create a file for each day and might spend too much time editing my notes. IRC allows for a stream of consciousness |
| 18:22 |
|
pdurbin |
spilth: kinda like this? http://irclog.greptilian.com/pdurbin/2012-11-28 |
| 19:22 |
|
spilth |
that's how I got here (via scripting.com) |
| 19:23 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah? huh. i wonder what link. something i posted probably |
| 19:23 |
|
spilth |
Might've been a comment you made in one of his posts |
| 19:23 |
|
spilth |
Or one of the links in his Links tab |
| 19:25 |
|
pdurbin |
it would be awesome if dave linked to me :) |
| 19:27 |
|
spilth |
I got here from http://threads2.scripting.com/2012/november/googleReaderCommunities#philipDurbin |
| 19:27 |

pdurbin |
ok. url looks like my comment :) |
| 19:28 |

man, i'm trying to give gitorious a chance but i prefer github |
| 19:28 |

Read your Google+ post, added you to my "Coders" circle and then saw your sourcefu post on G+ |
| 19:28 |
|
pdurbin |
ah. maybe that's how i remember seeing your avatar |
| 19:29 |

I might try a little ruby script that loops and takes my output and appends it to dated files... stick it Dropbox so I can use it on multiple machines and figure out some way to publish it |
| 19:30 |
|
spilth |
er, takes my input |
| 19:30 |
|
pdurbin |
uh... for publishing your notes? |
| 19:31 |
|
spilth |
yes |
| 19:31 |
|
pdurbin |
i just use git for that |
| 19:32 |
|
spilth |
yea, I might make a jekyll site from the notes so just pushing to github will make it available |
| 19:33 |
|
pdurbin |
sure. that's what i do with https://github.com/crimsonfu/crimsonfu.github.com |
| 19:33 |
|
pdurbin |
after i fetch the logs with https://github.com/crimsonfu/crimsonfu.github.com/blob/master/bin/logfetch.pl |
| 19:33 |
|
spilth |
cool. I just want to try replacing the IRC server and bot with a Ruby loop |
| 19:34 |
|
pdurbin |
ruby loop |
| 19:34 |
|
spilth |
while (text = gets) { ... } |
| 19:35 |
|
pdurbin |
you'll have to publish your solution and link me to it |
| 19:35 |
|
spilth |
will do! |
| 19:35 |
|
pdurbin |
thanks |
| 19:36 |
|
spilth |
I'll definitely put it up on github if I manage to get something working |
| 19:36 |
|
pdurbin |
cool. many ways to skin this cat |
| 20:11 |
|
pdurbin |
cool. private repos seem to be working... "You are not authorized to view this page" at https://git.huit.harvard.edu/dvn/pdurbin/blobs/raw/master/readme.md |
| 20:12 |
|
pdurbin |
but for anyone reading this in the future... that "pdurbin" repo may get opened up some day. no secrets in there, yet anyway :) |

sorry |
| 20:20 |

i'm still using that ugly plugin i wrote |
| 20:20 |
|
pdurbin |
works fine :) |
| 20:22 |
|

I'm just going to put layout: default in every page for now |
| 20:34 |
|

Here is my 30 minute stab at it: https://github.com/spilth/devlog.spilth.org |
| 20:35 |
|
spilth |
Here's the "loop" - https://github.com/spilth/devlog.spilth.org/blob/master/devlog.rb |
| 20:38 |
|
pdurbin |
and this is your log, i take it: https://raw.github.com/spilth/devlog.spilth.org/master/_posts/2012-12-06-devlog.md |
| 20:38 |
|
pdurbin |
(thanks for the link) :) |
| 20:38 |
|
spilth |
Yea, for now I'm keeping it simple |
| 20:41 |
|
spilth |
Putting it on S3 for now as well: http://devlog.spilth.org/ |
| 20:42 |
|
pdurbin |
S3. just like dave winer :) |
| 20:43 |
|
spilth |
I might switch to Github pages... but I know how to do S3 right now. |
| 20:43 |
|
spilth |
I think the real test will be if I like using a command-line tool to record notes |
| 20:43 |
|

http://sourcefu.com is hosted on GitHub Pages: https://github.com/sourcefu/sourcefu.github.com |

ironcamel: where's your notes thing? http://search.cpan.org/~ironcamel |

I'm guessing just a repo-name change and the CNAME file |

| 20:47 |

i never switched *from* perl |
| 20:47 |
|

for this project, that is |

Here's what note entry looks like on my screen (bottom pane): http://tinyurl.com/9wjgecn |
| 21:15 |
|
ironcamel |
note entry? |
| 21:16 |
|
ironcamel |
ok, so thats not a App::Notes note |
| 21:16 |
|
spilth |
I'm trying to make a lightweight, local, single user version of pdurbin's sourcefu |
| 21:16 |
|
ironcamel |
is sourcefu more than an irc channel? |
| 21:21 |
|
spilth |
and irc channel and an irc bot, right pdurbin? |
| 21:21 |
|
pdurbin |
i have plans. big plans |
| 21:21 |
|
spilth |
I'm not knocking. Just trying something different. |
| 21:23 |
|
pdurbin |
spilth: you *could* just type `cat >> today.md` ... type for a while... and hit Ctrl-D |
| 21:23 |
|
spilth |
On one side of the spectrum are manually managed text files. On the other side is IRC and bots. Inbetween are other things. |
| 21:23 |
|
spilth |
I like that I can just leave it running and it will append the correct file for me |
| 21:24 |
|
spilth |
I don't have to think or manually format the date for the filename |
| 21:26 |
|
spilth |
Really I just prefer Control-C to Control-D... |
| 21:27 |
|
pdurbin |
spilth: ctrl-d to *save* the file. :) |
| 21:27 |
|
spilth |
ok, but I don't even need to do that with my script. Each line is appended as soon as I hit return |
| 21:27 |
|
spilth |
http://cboard.cprogramming.com/c-programming/124238-what-does-ctrl-d-mean.html |
| 21:34 |
|
pdurbin |
i'm sure your script does more. i'm just sayin' :) |
| 21:35 |
|
spilth |
It was a small effort. I'll give it a try and see what happens. At the worst it's an opportunity to learn a few things. |

or did you mean a way of meditating on your code? |
