I thought it odd when, from the very beginning, the iPhone 4 had bumpers. From the moment that the first leaked photos hit the streets, the phone was wrapped in a bumper. Now, the word on the street is that tomorrow, Apple’s going to announce free bumpers for all. Call me paranoid, but I’m sure [...]
When my girlfriend came across this erotic alphabet, the first thing she wanted was to be able to spell out various things with it. Add a pinch of python and php and the result is the Erotic Alphabet Image Generator. The source code of the script used to generate the images is available here.

I got box INTJ-7 which had been shipped out by a nice guy from San Diego. I don’t have a lot to say now (and no pictures) but I’d like to share some [...]

The basic idea is that a box of random electronic junk gets shipped between makers and tinkerers, each of whom take something and contribute something to the box, and document what they end up doing.

Tagged diy, Electronics, exchange, free, junk, project, tgimboejI just recently revisited the M-Set code from my Perl Snippets post. The code I had was pretty ugly, so I decided to rewrite it in Python. The result is not only a lot cleaner and easier to understand, but it’s also a lot faster: $ time python mandel.py > \dev\null real 0m0.051s user 0m0.036s [...]
Tagged cli, command line, math, program, python, script, SoftwareSince I got a new desktop a month or so ago, I’ve been running Ubuntu as my main operating system, and am using Conky for a nice heads-up-display. There are a lot of articles on the web about both Ubuntu and Conky, but one thing I couldn’t find a good, accurate how-to on was getting [...]

I was really, really sad about that and really bummed that Pages, my word processor of choice (I love the formatting tools), doesn’t support either autosaving or document recovery. However, [...]
Tagged autosave, help, iwork, pages, program, school, Software, writingI’ve been getting into a mood lately that makes me fiddle around with fun Perl stuff, but sadly school’s picking up to the point that writing anything up isn’t going to happen. However, I have a couple short scripts that I’m just dying to share. Just Another Perl Hacker I figured that it was about [...]
