Been on the internet for a while. Got to work with some great folks on really fun projects. Hoping to share space with more folks in the era we are experiencing now. Say hello if you feel the same.
It was a fun weekend project and still had enough time to see a few movies in-between.
With all the frameworks out there it's so easy to argue over style and forget that this
stuff saves us time to have lives with. I'm heading to yoga now. Cali has infected me
with it's culture of leisure.
Last week at Vimeo we had a challenge. Build a better query string
parameter sorter for a Varnish plugin. The gauntlet was thrown down at
5pm on a Friday and by 2am Friday night we had our first contender.
A little while back I had an idea to use Cellular Automata rules
to generate random groupings of xy coordinates. This worked well as
a way to generate a rock pattern for my canvas drawing.
Maintaining passwords for multiple servers across multiple development environments was a hassle.
A few shell functions and Dropbox account will get you pretty far.
Just a little function to add to your Apple OS's .profile that automatically turns on a socks proxy
and tunnels all your traffic through the server of your choice.
Looking back I would've never guessed this project would have had so many twists and turns. I set out to build a game that was about synchronizing with computer generated rhythms.
I'm proud to release DumbledORM today. It is the product of a late night hack sesh with an idea to build a PHP ORM in less than 100 lines. After it's all said and done I arrived at 200 lines with lots of features.
