The life and death of Jesse James
Amazing story.
7:30 long, but very funny.
Video in German, but funny anyway.
Hover bacon, Beer Beer Beer and Pork Fight
Can you imagine a world with hover bacon? Joel Veitch strangeness.

More glTail absurdity
October 10th, 2007This is what happens when you change the log file tail command from tail -f to tail -n10000 -f
crazy :)
New glTail version, yay! Authentication failed, Boo!
October 10th, 2007I downloaded the latest version of glTail and got an authentication failed error:
cheetara:~/Desktop will$ ./gl_tail-0.05.rb
Connecting to myserver...
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-1.1.2/lib/net/ssh/session.rb:143:in `initialize': will (Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed)

I am using key based authentication to my server so I had previously set the password to:
:password => ''
This worked in the old version but to get it to work I in the new version I had to change it to this:
:password => nil
glTail - Pretty logs
October 9th, 2007glTail is really pretty, I just wished I had more traffic :)
This is is glTail mid-way through showing a request for my jokes site:
There is a more impressive video on the glTail site. I am not sure how useful it will be, but it is nice to look at.
OS X screen grab keyboard shortcut
October 6th, 2007According to this page:
“Command-Shift-3 shortcut for taking a screen capture of your entire screen”
Useful, but even better:
“Command-Shift-4, … gives you a crosshair cursor so you can choose which area of the screen you want to capture.”
That is really great. There are a couple of other options for saving the screen grab to the clipboard instead of the desktop.

Pikey fools!

How to ‘win’ at subversion
September 28th, 2007Carl bagged the 1000th commit on a big project by cheating with this script:
while :; do svn up | ruby -e 'gets; if $_ =~ /999/; `svn commit -m 'Winnah.' ../trunk`; end'; sleep 30; done
The contents of the commit? A single file containing the word ‘Winnah’.
