Crack in the ‘Golden Spike’
I love the description Marty Manly uses over at ‘Jam Side Down’: So you have Google with all the software needed to replace Outlook in every respect except syncing contact and calendars to an iPhone or a Blackberry and you … Continue reading

Over at LispCast, eric’s got a new post up called No easy download. In it he talks about the difficulty of being new to Lisp, wanting to learn, and not knowing where to start. He’s right. It’s way too hard … Continue reading
Smarter Git Prompt
After posting my git prompt shell snippets, someone pointed out on news.YC pointed out my daftness. All you need is the following in your .bashrc: PS1 = ‘$(git branch &>/dev/null; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "\[\033[00m\]{$(git branch … Continue reading
