AppleGeeks

Despite being about Apple geeks, I am afraid that I've read the entire backlog of Applegeeks in one night.

Shapshot: Kimota v0.2

Just to keep abreast of the latest development stuff, some actual information inside the app! Now, it's time to get the rest of the information and speed up the app, especially scaling and startup.

Oh, and here are the actual goods. Tested with firefox and webkit under linux.

Silence

Why yes, I have been maintaining blog silence recently: the primary reason being that I am a giant slacker, and the secondary reason being that posting without having anything to say is kind of depressing. Perhaps I should go read some books to expand my mind. Or not.

The real reason I'm posting this is to tell everyone that a development snapshot of kimota is available here. Mind you, it doesn't actually have any isotope data loaded into it yet, but the whole engine is there. It works well with firefox, opera, chrome, and safari. IE 8, and probably everything below that, barfs upon seeing the scripts.

Happy happy joy joy!

'Shrooms

I have made my peace with mushrooms. The edible, non-trippy kind.

That is all.

Whatever

For posterity, when I was talking about 'doing things right' in my last post, I meant how I was connecting users and documents: originally, I just assigned a user id to a document, but that kind of defeated the point of a collaborative web app. So, I just made up a new table that connected users and documents in a more flexible way, which took less time than I thought it would. I was pretty happy about it.

IE (6-8) is also not very cool about not letting me access the height of an element that I haven't explicitly set a height for. Annoying, annoying, annoying. It'd all work so beautifully if it didn't break like that....

EDIT: I have a new video up; it's not a short, but it's just a pos vid of me playing part of rach's 2nd piano concerto. Enjoy!

As a bonus, here's a vid that shows us all exactly how weird violinists are:

Stupid, stupid

Instead of sleeping, I'm working on ezlo. Blah. At least I bit the bullet and now I'm doing things right.

Also, safari feels fast. Just thought I'd comment on that.
