Re: My Life in the Cloud – A Four-Computer Syncing Scheme

lehrblogger — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:58:05 -0000

I was running out of disk space on my netbook, so I moved all of my 'conflicted copies' from my Dropbox folder to another non-Dropbox folder using a variation of the instructions I found at http://robwilkerson.org/2008/11/21/remove-confl...

It didn't quite make sense to completely delete the files (at least yet) since I have plenty of space on my MBP, but this should free up nearly 600MB on my netbook. The following should do the trick in Terminal, but make sure you understand what it's doing before you try it so that nothing breaks:

find . -type f -name "* conflicted *" -exec mv {} [FULL PATH TO TARGET FOLDER] \;

Re: An Idea for SizeUp, a Tiling Window Manager

I just realized that setting the margins feature in SizeUp is great for making dedicated space for my Adium buddy list and random files downloaded to Desktop. This is muuch easier than constantly showing/hiding list depending what else was in that corner.

I've gotten somewhat sidetracked by other projects, with http://wanderli.st being the largest of them, but I haven't given up!..

Oh, and if anyone wants to sign up for Dropbox and give us both an extra 250MB of free storage, you can use my referral link: https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTE3NTA2MTI5

I haven't tried using any of the Adobe CS software on it, but I'd guess that the one I have doesn't have enough HD space to do the install, let alone memory to run it. I figure if I need that sort of software while I'm at school I could use the computers in the AV lab, and I've also read of people running Photoshop on other netbooks.

This is very helpful! I'm still considering buying a netbook....not sure. Can I use Illustrator and other dtp software as well on netbooks?

Re: Web Ideas – UserVoice Re-purposed

lehrblogger — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:31:28 -0000

Perhaps there are some complexities here around the authorship of certain ideas - what rights do I have or not have to post ideas that I had while talking with other people who might not want their ideas to be made public? How best to handle these complexities?

(Perhaps it is useful to imagine the stream-packet nature of content as one imagines the wave-particle duality of light/energy.)

There's a new version of SizeUp, and the new features are described at http://bit.ly/oZDTE. There's now some ability to configure the size of the windows in each location, but I'm still hoping for more options in the future.

haha hmm, anyone have any idea how expensive custom neon signs are? are they cheaper if you order several of the same at once?

I subscribe to this religion and a bit envious of this sign. Though perhaps actually owning such a sign could result in just encouragement more of that behavior? (Says the girl who only slept from 5AM-7AM this morning...)

Update: I had a thorough email response from the developer within 20 minutes, which is exceptionally prompt, and he's working with another developer to provide more configurability to the grid layout. I'll comment again when there's an update to the software, and you can subscribe to the comments RSS feed above if you're interested.

Re: Programming A to Z - Assignment #9 Evolvocabulary

Very, very cool.

I would have filtered out "stop words" (frequently occurring words (like "and", "this", "if", "not", "of", "for", "is", etc) that don't add much meaning). Even better would have been attempting something like Amazon's "Statistically Improbable Phrases", though you would have needed to find some "baseline" corpus.

Re: Gmail Hack - Muting Filtered and Labeled Threads

Quick tip - if you want to watch a thread on the list in the secondary account from the primary account, just manually move it to your inbox in the primary account - new messages will show up unread there.

@Jorge Thanks! Email when you do

@john I barely noticed the strangeness of those deer when I was there..

@phoebe I met a guy after the talk who had been thinking about going to ITP - hopefully my trip was convincing :)

See? That's what I love about ITPers. They know their priorities. And they keep their (ambitious) commitments.

that was nice of bambi to make it to your presentation!

Thanks for coming! I'll write this up for scala-blogs.org soon.

Re: TwiTerra at the NY Tech Meetup!

Thanks Phoebe! It was an ICM midterm project that grew into a final project, and got some more polish afterward for the show, and even more for #NYTM, so I've been working on it for a while now :)

Re: TwiTerra at the NY Tech Meetup!

phoebe — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:17:38 -0000

Great presentation and pretty polished for an ICM project :) I'm impressed that the caliber of work produced each year at ITP just keeps getting more and more impressive. (I'm an ITP '04 alum)

Re: TwiTerra Files for Download

Lehrblogger — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 03:05:00 -0000

The Mac download should now be working without any extra steps (the jars needed to be added individual to the classpath, and not just included in java.library.path).

Re: TwiTerra Files for Download

Lehrblogger — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:45:02 -0000

Thanks for pointing this out. I think only the two jars (gluegen-rt.jar and jogl.jar) need to be there, and the other files were successfully packaged in the .app file. I did include them in the package, but I forgot to move mine out of /Library/Java/Extensions before testing it, and it must be having trouble finding them. I'll update the file with either a solution or a readme with instructions tomorrow, but it's somewhat late now and I'm more than somewhat completely exhausted :)
