Applescript to open Mail.app and attach a zip of some files
Every once in a while, while you're working on something, you find that all the available solutions to a task are horrendously out of date. After bashing my head against the problem, I eventually figured out the recipe that made things work, so I thought I'd post the solution here.
I was attempting to streamline the process of iterating on ( Read more... ) -
The Collective
This is a draft idea that I wrote about a while ago, and I figured I might as well publish it since I don't have much time to flesh it out these days.
What is the Collective?
The collective is a distributed trust system for giving/receiving/trading access to shareable resources such as on-the-go wireless access. Businesses will be able to provide ( Read more... ) -

GRRR - Facebook Friend Details - Social Timeline - RIP
I know this happened over the course of the past year, but I've finally bothered searching to verify that my experience was true. Facebook removed the "Friend Details" feature.

Git -- People say it's better... but is it really?
Recently a friend of mine has been trying to convince me to start using git instead of svn. Since he was the administrator for a server that he and I are working on a project together with (grammar?), I've made an effort to really understand why people like it.
While googling about the subject I ran across Read more... ) -

It's been a long time...
Wow, nearly a full year. Instead of apologizing I think I'll just try to kick this back into gear over the next few weeks.
