Corey sent me a link to Ubiquity, a dynamic-mashup-maker-that-reminds-me-of-Quicksilver. The video is cool looking, I may keep an eye on this project to see where they go with it. I think it’s a useful tool if you have these specific tasks coming up often, and the ability to make new commands is neat.
OK, so let’s say you’re an OSX user, and you use the command line a lot. I bet you’ve accidentally deleted a file using rm, and wished that it had gone to the Trash.
We had this problem a few days ago, and fortunately the file was under version control. But we looked for a solution that would rm into the trash. There was only one solution and it didn’t work in Leopard (10.5)
I mentioned this on Twitter, and my buddy Jason threw a working version of trash-aware-rm for OSX together in no time flat. Check it out.
I watched a video of Adam Savage at a hacker con in NYC. You should watch it too. He talks about Mythbusters, and also has a lot of other good stuff. Strongly recommended.
Bonus: Look for his pirated copy of The Dark Knight.
Hey, just wanted to throw a quick update.
Bhangra is a sweet style of Indian music. It’s got some traditional elements, like the Sitar and Tabla drums, but tends to have a good beat to it, keeps it moving like Hip Hop. Tabla Beat Science is something in this category that I’ve been liking lately.
If you’re interested in swapping some music, contact me and I’ll email you some Pandora stations.
Speaking of Pandora — they might have to shut down. More on Pandora at Wired blog
In case you haven’t heard, PHP may soon have support for lambdas. These are basically anonymous functions that let you more easily create dynamic code, or throwaway functions that only get used in one place. Mmm. Lambdas.
