Call Mom Maybe

Love this. Very touching. Gotta call Mom now, bye.

iOS 7 concept

2013-05-10

Not sure what so stunning about this but it sure is confusing as hell. I don’t want a new look. I want it to improve in term of usability. The only thing that actually looks good in that concept is the Wifi, bluetooth quick toggle, which isn’t new if you’re an Android user.

The new design is gorgeous for a already-great audio player. Currently in beta.

Bash script to quickly toggle socks proxy on OS X

2013-04-24

Not very elegant but it works well enough for me.

#!/bin/bash

e=$(networksetup -getsocksfirewallproxy wi-fi | grep "No")

if [ -n "$e" ]; then
  echo "Turning on socks proxy"
  killall ssh
  ssh -fCND 127.0.0.1:1080 username@host
  networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxystate wi-fi on
else
  echo "Turning off socks proxy"
  killall ssh
  networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxystate wi-fi off
fi

Migrating to Cedar stack on Heroku

2013-02-15

Bamboo has served us all well, but its age is starting to show. The Cedar stack is faster, more secure, more reliable, and more flexible.

Just migrate this blog from Bamboo stack to Cedar. There’s no automation process yet so you’ll have to do it manually for now.

Using a power-hungry tactile keyboard with the iPad

2013-02-14

Not cheap (~$100 on top of the HHKB Pro 2) but totally do-able.

Opera will use WebKit rendering engine

I support the WebKit monoculture.

Surface's Type cover is a mechanical keyboard

2013-02-06

Not sure how many of this is true. This keyboard seems a little too thin to put any “traditional” switch inside. Kind of anxious to try it in the store.

There’s a X-ray image of the Type cover here.
