Textpattern

In which I present my second Textpattern Plugin

Introducing my second Textpattern plugin cwh_link_to_home page. This one was way easier in that I didn't have to crosscheck 700 hobo names. It also has an accessibility bent to it, which I'm particularly proud of. You can read more about it and what

A note about skip counts in iTunes

Here’s another follow-up to my earlier post about my quest for the ideal smart playlist. If you use “Skip count” as a criteria for a smart playlist in iTunes be aware that an actual skip in iTunes is only registered when you advance to another track within the first

My settings for a "Just Music" playlist

Yesterday I wrote about my attempt at creating the perfect playlist, but I didn’t elaborate on what settings I used for my “Just Music” playlist. This is a variant inspired by Merlin’s Music Only playlist, a post on 43 Folders that reinvigorated my smart playlist quest1. So, here’

In which I talk about my robot what sweeps and vacuums the floor

About a week ago I bought an iRobot Roomba Discovery. So far, I’m pretty impressed. You don’t get the thoroughness from wielding, say, a Dyson, but it does a good job. Also, there’s something quite enjoyable about starting the little guy up before I go out and

Towards the perfect playlist

For a few years now since I first purchased my original iPod and iMac, I’ve been trying to create the ideal smart playlist. Well, the ideal for me at any rate. The key was to make sure it contains music I like that I haven’t listened to recently.

Well there goes my wellness streak

Oh damn it, two weeks later and I’m sick again! I actually took part of the day off to recoup, something I haven’t done in a while. So, that’s the last time I boast about being healthier.

And yet another delay

My occupancy date has moved yet again. The new date is now August 7, 2007. I saw some recent pictures from mid April and, based on the progress so far, I saw this coming. Actually, I expected it to be pushed out further than just a month, like September or

How to be a Ninja, or at least look like one

As it is with the internet, I was clicking around one day and discovered you could purchase Ninja costumes and equipment on Amazon. This intrigued me since I recall being interested in those stealthy assassins as a young boy, probably much like a lot of young boys in the eighties.

That's what I get

It was inevitable, really. A month or so after posting about not getting sick, I get sick. It’s not the worst cold I’ve had, but it’s unpleasant and has taken me out of commission for a few days, mostly over this past weekend, damn it! I felt
