Blogubrious Retiring — Moving to Proccli
I’m migrating all new blog entries to a new name/site: Proccli: Code Sprouts.
I’ll try to keep on top of comments and such coming in here, but it will eventually start to decay (hopefully gracefully).

I was curious about RubyCocoa and decided to play around a bit. I came across this article on rubycocoa.com about the apple remote and ruby. I got it working and boredom took over… so I decided to wrap it with a simple DSL. It seems pretty pointless, although switching OSX spaces with it was fun…

Rails: Mocking YAML arrays as ActiveRecord objects
I’ve been finding myself using YAML a lot for silly enums — maybe because I’m lazy, but mostly because there is no need to manage them via a database table. Here is just a simple example — I need to associate a region and division to a client. These will not change much and are [...]
self clearing text input fields with javascript

Adding Custom Search Engines to Colibri
What is Colibri? It’s the closes thing to Quicksilver you can get for the PC, and it makes life easy when you hate using the mouse. (If you read my quicksilver post you’d realize that id do everything via keyboard if I could…)
My few gripes with Colibri is the fact that it had no way [...]

Relative Digg Wordpress Plugin – Add related digg story links to the bottom of your post based on keywords
Note (5/13/07):
I just looked over this code and I made a lot of mistakes. Just use it as an example/reference or clean it up. I hacked it together pretty quick when I was bored at work, [...]
