Ive never betrayed so many fellow home owners than in Minecraft.

Squirrel Stare Down.

We were like statues too afraid to move. And in those few minutes our eyes locked and we knew each other. They, the bushy tailed rats of the heavens, and I, a vagabond looking for udon.

How does Carly go about badly missing a boy she’s never met? Give me a break Lacey, this is the first time I stopped listening to the great beat and focused on the romantic lyrics.

Improving Ubuntu 12 Performance

Tue, 22 May 2012 09:50:00 -0500

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 11 to 12 and found myself dealing with a lot of visual performance issues with no apparent performance tuning settings. Every article on the Internet touted the Ubuntu 12 performance improvements, but all I saw were huge delays due to animations, effects, and opacity filters.

I’m admittedly rather ignorant to the on goings of the Ubuntu community, which left me struggling to find any way to adjust these settings, so bear with me.

After trying out add-on tools like Ubuntu Tweek and Unsettings, the only tool that actually seemed to improve performance was Compiz Config. From there, you may disable all effects and animations, though why it isn’t included as a default Ubuntu setting is beyond me.

Learn how to install Compiz Config. After installing, scroll down to the effects tab and disable all effects except for ‘Window Decoration’. You should notice a big improvement on your virtual box or dated machine.

Happy Birthday, Sister!

Just so you know that I didn’t forget, I thought I’d show you one of the final proofs on a photo shoot I had been setting up for months in honor of your birthday. We had to fly this cat out from Italy and he’s a very expensive model. That hat was hand woven, and the lettering was imprinted on triple glossy paper.

Astronomical, Brah.

We all know the sun is licking his lips, waiting. The galaxy is the longest of socially awkward party settings. I think I could have improved on Venus, but after about 10 faces I gave up.

This is really only a recent mindset to adopt a standard of a single space sizes for a full stop and it seems rather rude of you to speak on behalf of every editor ever since before 1950 most publications had a much wider spacing. From the 18th century on, the printing standard…

One might argue that the move back towards a single spacing for online publications was as technically driven as the move towards double spacing for the typewriter. HTML ignores displaying multiple spaces in a row and you have to often go out of your way to insert multiple spaces through . I am admittedly out of my element and will now head back to the land of for loops and if statements.

If you ever feel like you should put two spaces after periods when turning in copy, stop that feeling. Don’t do that. Just don’t. Love, Every Editor Ever.

This is really only a recent mindset to adopt a standard of a single space sizes for a full stop and it seems rather rude of you to speak on behalf of every editor ever since before 1950 most publications had a much wider spacing. From the 18th century on, the printing standard required an em-space after a period and one could easily argue that the em-space is wide enough to be represented by a double space.

SASS vs. LESS

Thu, 17 May 2012 14:40:00 -0500

SASS vs. LESS:

decodering:

Which CSS preprocessor language does Chris Coyier like best?:

SASS is better on a whole bunch of different fronts, but if you are already happy in LESS, that’s cool, at least you are doing yourself a favor by preprocessing.

First off, let’s just agree that the SASS ‘indented syntax’ is silly and trying too hard to be Python when it should be helping CSS developers. So really, let’s compare Sass’s new syntax, SCSS, vs LESS. On that front, LESS has a JS compiler that works by simply copying two lines of code. No knowledge of serverside compilers needed. SCSS requires you to install Ruby and Sass and the compile at a command line. Totally the opposite of sexy.

Now, SCSS has variable interpolation, which is nice but I’ve never actually used it because like SASS, I believe it is a concept that is confusing to most CSS developers. Both come with useful color changing functions like lighten and darken but LESS has a variety of awesome functions like iscolor and ispixel which put it at an advantage.

SCSS is neat because you can do for/while loops but LESS has access to the Javascript environment, so you can run all sorts of JavaScript inside your LESS script, which is really cool in a scary, you shouldn’t mix your programming languages, sort of way.

I think anyone who prefers SCSS over LESS hasn’t checked out LESS in the last year or so, because LESS has really come along since its days as a Ruby compiled CSS shorthand. Also, LESS has a much better website in terms of design and readability while Sass’s site is stuck in the 90s.

LESS is more.

Setup Your Own Chatlr

Setup Your Own Chatlr:

In preparation for an extreme coding weekend where we will be creating a Tumblr game, we whipped up documentation on how to setup Chatlr from scratch as a primer for friends on all the essentials.

If you have basic programming knowledge, we encourage you to try it for yourself and let us know if the documentation is concise and functional. The documentation goes through each step and everything can be done from a modern browser. No software, no servers, and no cash are needed!

Check it out on Google Docs!

Extreme Coding A Tumblr Game

Fri, 11 May 2012 18:01:00 -0500

A few friends and I are planning to extreme code a Tumblr game over a weekend, but we seem to be lacking anyone decent at sprites / assets. Since this will be a browser based, open source, Tumblr authenticated web game, I thought I’d make a call out to see if anyone would lend their sprite skills to the weekend.

It’s all very loose and in the drunken brainstorming stage, but we’d probably even except a prepackaged library of sprites from any great Tumblr artist out there. We’ll be randomly picking the concept of the game the day before, but it will be powered of the Socket.IO / MongoDB Chatlr system.

If anyone is intrigued, drop me a fan mail or ask box.
