And me without any planned trips to Manhattan.
Capsule, The Developer’s Code Journal
I’m very pleased today to announce the release of Capsule, the developer’s code journal. Capsule replaces the scratch document you have…
I tell her something for the third time and she doesn’t get it. Finally, I just do it myself.
So yeah, Siri is like a real assistant.
Ever wonder what it’s like to accept a job at Crowd Favorite and move to Denver? Craig does a great job outlining his past 6 months. My favorite bit is probably this:
There’s still much that I don’t know, and I’ll always be asking questions, but my coworkers are incredibly intelligent, helpful, patient, and they challenge me – a great combination to help further my career.
The statement made by Google yesterday, instead, is that the war for mobile will not be won with devices or operating systems. It will be won instead with services.
I like this approach for Google. Good things generally happen when companies play to their strengths.
I’ve killed this bug at least three times.
Zombie bug.
This is a great overview. It should be easy and simple, but has certainly gotten more complex of late.
I *think* I’ve worked out the necessary changes for WP 3.6 post formats compatibility in FavePersonal (the theme used on alexking.org).
The true measure of a new best practice is how painful it is to return to projects that don’t use it.
Screeny Green Screen Revisited
I was certainly not alone in my problem with Screeny recording nothing but a green screen. Interestingly I got the same results from Quicktime, which made me think it was a system issue rather than an app issue.
When experiencing the issue, I was on my (retina) MacBook Pro disconnected from an external monitor. I had been previously connected to a Dell monitor multiple times between then and my last reboot. Based on some tips I saw online, my first step was a reboot which restored Screeny to normal operation.
To test the “external monitor as cause”, I reconnected to my monitor and tried recording on both screens:
- laptop screen: success
- external monitor: success
Then I disconnected from the external monitor and tried again on just the laptop screen: success.
So I have no idea what happened, or how it got “fixed”, but I recommend trying a reboot if you see this issue.
If you’d like to join App.net for free, this link is your huckleberry. There are 100 invites attached to that link, so sign up quickly if you’re interested. I’ve been finding App.net making it’s way into my social stream more and more these days. With the folks I’m following, I’ve seen engagement ramp from around…
My day always brightens a bit when the API I’m talking to will send back JSON data.
When people talk about using Capsule for code snippets I think that’s fine, but that’s not what it’s designed for. GistBox is beautiful (appears to be free – no idea how they plan to support it) and finally provides the ability to tag Gists. This is great for code snippets, lousy as a developer journal. That’s the difference between Capsule and Gistbox – both look to be great tools for different jobs (though you certainly can put code snippets in Capsule if you’re also using it as a journal).
What is a simple screen recording app for the Mac that works with retina? Screeny (my previous go-to) fails, as does Voila. #lazytweet
