Notes on how the project integrating FantasyHockeySim.com with Invision Power Board went and how it was done.
I’ve been toying around with Slackbots a bit lately. Back in January I wrote about publishing a Git log to Slack via one. They’re dirt simple to implement and can be really useful. They can also be fun. I’ve added a couple bots in our office Slack just for posting randomness, running as cron jobs. […]
At my day job our codebase is kept in a handful of self-hosted Git repositories. We have a tool that runs nightly, emailing out a digest of all of the previous day’s commits. It’s kinda cool but I have the tendency to ignore it as a wall of text. I prefer more granular messaging and […]
So I’m a bit particular about how I keep my finances in order. To the point that I wrote my own web-based ledger software to help myself keep it all straight. Yeah, there are third-party solutions out there, but I wanted something that worked exactly the way I wanted. Every couple days I pull receipts […]
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 […]
