_why

  1. caller asks, “should i use hpricot or nokogiri?” if you’re NOT me: use nokogiri. and if you’re me: well cut it out, stop being me.
  2. what makes me such a lousy programmer is that i can excuse anything by saying this isn’t so bad— i myself am a much bigger hack than this.
  3. @jasonlangenauer good ok i need to get you some nil errors http://gist.github.com/139487
  4. from banksy’s show at bristol http://bit.ly/zoJDu
  5. here’s a windows build: http://bit.ly/8UuAA (but avoid interactive mode)
  6. @technoweenie yes, all classes show as “Lobby” right now. have to decide where to keep class names. in the method table maybe.
  7. @asolovyov ah good, thankyou. that is a problem with the interactive mode. use a script in the meanwhile: http://gist.github.com/138969
  8. okay potion is to a point where we can talk about it. a short pamphlet: http://hackety.org/potion/
  9. i’m trapped in a labyrinth of my own design.
  10. filling a wall with nature scenes: romanticized squid fights, foxes beneath an aurora, frogs enjoying an opulent constellation-ridden night.
  11. my lady, this poorly rendered page marks you as the whore of internet explorer. i mean that in a way that is both graceful and degrading.
  12. http://hackety.org/images/k... a hybrid of computer + hand sketch, from a set of drawings for a japanese ruby event
  13. perfect so if you’re using virtualbox with a tiling window manager, start vms with VBoxSDL. no window decor, no hijaaking of the Mod4 key.
  14. drawing chalk squares on the road, to coax along a local legend. somethin about a ghost limo that drops off boxes of used infants, i forget
  15. @zorkgame eat the mailbox
  16. oh and there’s a full directory of games at http://parchment.toolness.com/. and type HELP cause usually the game will oblige.
  17. z-machine text adventures in js http://is.gd/xjZN (been done before, but this is really elegant)
  18. @defunkt yes it’s nice. altho calling ‘objekt’ is strange, as if ocaml is pinning my leg against the wall and asking me to blow in its ear
  19. @ohwillie you should! ocsigen comes with quite a number of samples, including a miniature wiki even.
  20. o’caml amazes me. incredibly sound internals and very nice for scripting. see, not bad: http://gist.github.com/107562
