One of the first things I wrote about when I started this blog was my workaround solution for exporting from TechSmith Snagit to Amazon S3. That worked okay for Windows but I’ve started working on Mac significantly more of late and I missed that functionality. As such, I took another look at options for this […]
I Tweeted on Friday about futzing with Google Hangouts, something I hadn’t had to deal with in years. The link I sent out went to a blog post about lessons learned from that experience but I realized that I never bothered to actually write up the code I wrote in that project and figured it might […]
I write about the Trello API a lot. So much that I’ve already noted that I write about it a lot. I keep coming across new stuff, though, so I’m going to keep writing about it. My latest experiment was a look into using their batch call, which I don’t see a lot of documentation about […]
I was going through my portfolio recently and realized that I have an entry for my Press Your Luck game but I’ve only described how it works, never taken a deep dive into the code. The current version (if you can call something no longer in use “current”) runs entirely on the client side. There […]
Last week I published a bit of code that uses the Trello API to keep parent and child cards synced across a set of boards. It was a little piece of research that has absolutely taken off around the office so I’ve been expanding on it and demoing it and talking about it and generally […]
One of the things my team at work always seems to have a problem with is tracking our tasks and how they fit into the bigger picture of our team’s goals. We had these problems when we were using a bulletin board, we have these problems now that we’re using a single Trello board. We […]
Awhile ago I wrote about how I’d gotten addicted to the Cookie Clicker game to the point that I made a userscript that would display a countdown showing how long it would take for me to get to a certain amount of cookies. The same people that pullled me into that game tried to get […]
Every year my in-laws do the whole “drawing names” thing at Christmas, where each person draws one other person and buys a gift for them. Nearly as often, there’s drama about it. Someone complains about “always” getting someone else. Someone gets themself (that was me this year). I decided to remove the human element from […]
Over the past week or so I’ve been a little too obsessed with Cookie Clicker. It’s an awesome little JavaScript-based game and I can’t just leave it alone. I’m at a point in the game where it takes hours before I can buy the next item I’m looking for. Just out of curiousity, I was […]
Sometime soon I’ll write a bit on my new-ish philosophy about code samples. For now it’s enough to say that I’m cleaning out that section of my site but there’s one project I wanted to keep documented, so I’m writing it up here and now even though the code is from 2005. The “Opening Night […]
