I created a chat room. Because the world needs another very basic chat room. I made it with Node.js, Express, Socket.io, and CoffeeScript.

Every time Gary Bernhardt speaks I lean forward and listen. I subscribe to Destroy All Software and just found the above linked talk from Cascadia Ruby Conf. Excellent talk.
I have said before that the more I learn about Unix, the more I feel like a god. I am learning the truth of what Blake Mizerany said in a talk once, “The world’s greatest IDE, it’s called Unix.”
I am currently reading “Classic Shell Scripting” to learn more. Pipes, sed, awk, functions, stdin, stdout, forking processes.
I have already realized that a couple things I wrote as rake (and cake) tasks can be written in easier, faster, and more versatile shell script.
I will learn to wield the Unix chainsaw like a master.
Update: “The Shell Hater’s Handbook” by Ryan Tomayko is another fantastic talk on the power of the shell found in the archives of Confreaks.com.
Update 2: “The Hater’s Shortcut to The POSIX Shell and Utilities”, linked up at the end of the talk by Ryan Tomayko above, is an excellent resource as well. Sweet!

Because the world needs it, I created another To-Do List – but with super awesome “Pairwise Comparison Technology”. Try it out on the desktop and on your phone. It stores your list locally so you can come back and they’re still there. Was a fun exercise.
I used Backbone.js, Backbone.localStorage, and the Zurb Foundation Framework.

Died laughing when Douglas Crockford called this the dog balls:
(function() {
// some code
})();
Those ending parens are the dog balls just hanging outside. haha.

Having fun with Backbone.js and Coffeescript.

It’s been a little while. I am here and I am coding and thinking and stuff. Finn is the cutest person on Earth — objectively speaking. All is well in the world (for me). My problems are first world problems. I am.
