Stuff I've been working on...

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, so I figured I’d write about some of the things I’ve been working on for the past month. 

- LinkMe:

The application is designed to store links into a SQLite database. I designed it to help me better manage the overwhelming process of storing links between myself and friends. There are some things I still want to do to make the program better useful, such as:

  • putting in a search function
  • labels for returned queries  
  • table creation from the menu

- Carpe Diem:

This was/is fun to put together even though it’s still not finished. It’s a small algorithm that is helps you determine if what you’re about to do is worth doing. Things that I want to do with this:

  • make the code cleaner
  • fix the ‘print’ statements (sloppy readout in terminal- inconsistent with the readout on command prompt, which looks perfect)

- Sleepyti.me:

This is the latest project I’ve been working on (literally started this a few hours ago). It’s based on David Shaw’s site. It’s in a very primitive stage, and doesn’t do anything. When it’s done, I hope to use it to help me get better quality of sleep (something I’m seriously deprived of)!

thoughtbot:

While organizing a conference, I invited Antonio Rodriguez of Matrix Partners to speak.

His Pycon 2010 talk had caught my eye and we spoke about the advantages of an early stage web startup in which everybody codes, including so-called “business people”.

In our context, “coding” might mean…

Jonah Lehrer wrote an intriguing post for Wired yesterday explaining how a lack of focus can actually result in additional creativity.

more of the same: Hipster uploads part of your iPhone address book to its servers → markchang.tumblr.com

markchang:

Inspired by this post (which you should all read), I looked at the apps on my own iPhone for information leakage by other apps. I figured this would be common practice, and lo and behold, when booting up Hipster, it seems like parts of my iPhone address book were being uploaded to Hipster….

“

Watch your thoughts, they become words.

Watch your words, they become actions.

Watch your actions, they become habits.

Watch your habits, they become your character.

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
