Paying It Forward

As an avid gamer, I often find myself perusing various subreddits and watching streams in my spare time. Among those is the Day[9] Daily, a regularly-scheduled livestream by Sean “Day[9]” Plott. Now if you’re not in tune with the Starcraft scene in the slightest, Day[9] means nothing to you. If you are, however, The Day[9]…

 

Photography Update: Dec. 20 2010

In a moment of stupidity, I had an energy drink at 11:30pm last night while at a friend’s party. Needless to say, at 3:03am the following morning (ie. today), I am unfortunately still awake. I guess I got what was coming to me. On the plus side, that now means that I had the time…

 

Where I’ve Been

My online presence has pretty much dwindled over the past 4 months or so. I have an explanation for it, I swear!

 

Dynamic Named Routes for Semi-Static Pages in Rails

When I was designing the new UMSwing website, I had a few issues that, at the time, I didn’t have a clean method of implementing. One of those was the creation of semi-static pages.

ViM, or “Vi Improved”, is a command-line editor that has been around since the dawn of Linux command lines, and…

 

I’m Back

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted; about three weeks, actually. To the one or two readers I have, my apologies that you don’t have something to waste your time on twice per week. I’m getting back into the writing mood, so I should be building up a buffer of things to write in…

 

A Busy Past Two Weeks

So my twice-per-week updates seem to have fallen a bit behind as of late. To those one or two dedicated readers, my apologies for not giving you something to burn a couple minutes from your day with. I have three culprits to lay the blame for this lack of updates. One of those has been…

 

Oct. 24 Photography Update

Now that I’ve been taking more photos recently, I’m getting into the habit of posting them up a little more frequently. Rest assured, I’ll keep you all updated when I put up new photos. If you want to take a look at some of my other photos, just head to the gallery. As always, I…
