Tinker
Expressive Technology
From an email I just sent out:
“I’m building a robotic marionette (see http://www.delamaquina.com). The couple times I’ve shown it off in public, it is fascinating to watch reactions — first, people notice this creepy puppet moving around… then inevitably, their eyes travel up the strings and see this machine with spinning pulleys and wires. They [...]
Minor fixes to site
Some minor wordpress tweaks
* Fixed odd format on permalink pages
* Fixed double “Tag: Tag:”
Permalink Pages looking all weird
Not done converting, yet. Relax.
Shaking it loose
Returning to a pre-sxsw template for davidnunez.com… finally completing the mephisto to wordpress migration.
I’ve been hacking away at a little app to post/share what I’m going to call “sketchstreams”
I learned a lot about how I _enjoy_ working while getting ready for maker faire.
I’ll be adding features and tweaking the design on the blog in iterations [...]
Applescript to import articles into devonthink pro and del.icio.us from incoming NetNewsWire RSS streams
The applescript in this post will take the currently selected headline or tabbed article in NetNewsWire, prompt the user for tags about the article, and then create an HTML copy of the article in DEVONThink in a sub group.
If the first tag is not the word “private” then the link is also posted, via [cocoalicious](http://www.scifihifi.com/cocoalicious/), [...]
Converting from Mephisto to Wordpress
Finished pulling in old entries to wordpress.
1. adjust controllers/feed_controller so that the article limit is greater than number of articles
2. clear cached feed in settings
3. in CLI, execute “curl http://yoururl.com/feed/ > feed.xml” (atom)
4. use an xml / xsl editor on feed.xml to apply the Atom2RSS xsl sheet found here [http://atom.geekhood.net/](http://atom.geekhood.net/)
5. Use RSS import [...]
Rebooting blog yet again.
I was making a list of things I wanted to do with my personal website. Before SxSW I spent many hours getting the blog running [mephisto](http://www.mephistoblog.com), for no other reason than it’s written with Ruby on Rails. I wanted to eat my own dogfood, etc.
As I was looking at my list of blog [...]
Applescript to transform mail.app message to GTDAlt inbox item
I’m currently using GTDAlt in TextMate as my GTD processing system. It’s a text based system, so it’s upgradable, portable, etc.
Through the TextMate bundle framework, you get some nice collating of contexts, etc.
GTDAlt does rely on some proprietary syntax, but it’s pretty basic and easily parsable.
There is rudimentary support for iterating through items in [...]
Applescript that archives NetNewsWire post to DEVONThink Pro
As a refinement to an earlier script I posted, I made some modifications to my suggested news reading workflow.
The applescript in this post will take the currently selected article in NetNewsWire, prompt the user for tags about the article, and then create a web archive of the article in DEVONThink.
It attaches the referral URL to [...]
