What’s the bootstrapping process for this?
I’ve been spending a lot of time writing. Not here, obviously, but in a text editor whose contents only ever make it to my hard drive or a printer. I have a little editing circle with Gregory and Shun that meets weekly to trade chapters/units of our novels/screenplays for editing. As I knew I would back in college, I’m finding life as a code monkey uninteresting. I didn’t have an interest in sitting in front of a computer hacking out code all day back then, and it’s not so great now that I’m doing it. I know it’s a stepping stone, but what do I have to look forward to…

Tastee (del.icio.us) links! (August 1st)
Links for August 1st from 03:00 to 03:00: 365 tomorrows » The Incomprehensible Being – I love stories that play with the idea of time and how limited our perception of it is — it's an idea behind a novel I'm working on, in fact. This vignette is a take I haven't read before, and it works really well. Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) on Vimeo – This is some awesome mess. (vibeo) Thaumatocracy » Post Topic » Textmate for Linux – I'd been eyeballing my Mac-using coworker's text editor (textmate) for the last couple of weeks. Turns out I can get some of the same style of interaction…

Tastee (del.icio.us) links!
These are my links for June 15th through June 18th: xkcd – A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language – By Randall Munroe – Everyone probably already reads xkcd, but I loved this one. "DAR: A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary" By Erika Moen – This whole comic series is amazing, but this particular comic (especially panel #4) had me rolling. I'd probably be arrested if I had a penis, too. An important issue? « I?m just saying? – This author (professor?) and a group of students set up an exhibit exploring white privilege at Seattle Pacific University. I always love discussions of white privilege for the different…

Tastee (del.icio.us) links!
These are my links for May 4th through May 27th: migrating email to Gmail – I just moved this domain's email to Google's hosted apps, including their gmail interface. The issue was, of course, that I had years of emails stored from IMAP that I wanted in gmail for searchability. This thread in the DreamHost forums offers two wor Tips for Building Your GM Notebook – Treasure Tables – I've started a GM notebook for the game I'm running for Greg. So far — just one session, and far from a completed book — it's been a big help. So what IS D&D anyway? : Critical Hits – One of…

GTD: Implementing with Tracks
When I started the new job on Monday, I took a bit of time to consider how I wanted to implement Getting Things Done (GTD) in the workplace. After considering my circumstances — glued to a computer all day, no particular need to access issues from home — I decided to try out Tracks, a Ruby on Rails tool for implementing GTD. Looked hot, so after a few failed attempts to get it installed on XP at work, I set up an account on a hosted server and ran with it. …I love it. Now, I have a PDA, you might say. A nice little Sony Clie 610C that’s served…
