Sorry Chris, that is the only way that I know of and I found it purely by accident.

Re: Tips for Gatsby ElasticLunr Search plugin

Dan Hounshell — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 23:33:31 -0000

I was able to work around the issue of not being able to index the blog post bodies (somewhat) by using createNodeField in onCreateNode of gatsby-node to add an extract field to the node with a limit of 500 chars. Then I added that field and a resolver for it in the options for the plugin in gatsby-config. This let me index the first paragraph or so of each blog post. That helped improve the search results a lot.

Additionally on the search page I added code to extract the tokens from the elasticlunr index and used those to a add typeahead helper for the search input. This provides a little assistance for searching.

Re: WATCH GIVEAWAY: Laco Münster Automatic

Classic style, great size, historic brand. I once got stuck in Chicago because of storms when flying from Cincy to SF. Had to fly red eye to Newark and slept in the airport until an early flight to SF. Missed my morning meetings and had to buy a Yankees (which I hate) sweatshirt in the Newark airport because it was freezing.

Re: Auto Fabrica’s KZ400: A two-wheeled Extreme Makeover

Dan Hounshell — Wed, 07 Dec 2016 13:57:45 -0000

I agree about the pictures being too dark. There is just not enough detail in them. I have a couple of KZ400s so anytime a custom pops up I always go through the pics pixel by pixel to check out the details, see how they with or around each element of the bike, figure out how they did things differently, and try to pick up tips. Unfortunately these pics won't allow for that and it is really too bad considering it is so minimalist. But that's enough complaining - keep those KZs coming!

I'm proud of David and inspired as well. My wife and I have both started eating better and exercising more after seeing his results. Congrats, thanks, and keep it up!

Dave, I applaud you on the awesome yet gut-wrenching posts. It know it takes big King-Kong sized balls. Thanks for sharing, brother. It's good to know I'm not the only one who goes through things like this. Keep up the good fight!

I hope I'm not the only one that looks at that picture and then starts counter steering into that first turn, leaning right, leaning left... and then feels goofy because I'm trying to ride my computer chair into the picture.

Fantastic looking bike and I love the spokes! I have the same sickness for CX500s though I don't own one... yet.

Re: Updating my YouTube widget to auto load first video : Digging My Blog

There were a couple of lines of comments at the end of a function that IE seemed to balk at. Removed those and it works fine now.

Re: Updating my YouTube widget to auto load first video : Digging My Blog

The data displayed is pulled from this feed:
http://gdata.youtube.com/fe...
where username would be your (or whatever username you specified).

As you can see there are no direct fields for ratings or views. However, ratings and views are included in the content field. You can visualize it using the RSS version of the same feed:
http://gdata.youtube.com/fe...

With a little regex magic you should be able to pull the view count and the ratings info from that content field.

Great interview on Pipeburn, congrats! I love the new t's - I'm going to have to get one of those. And that's a great pic above - wow, that's one hot Moto Lady!

This post was about working with the Miso API. Sorry, I have never worked with the LinkedIn API.

Re: Canned Goods Cabinet : Digging My Blog

Thanks, Terri. It looks better in the pics than it does up close. Since
it had to be white I didn't spend too much time on pretty details that
would get covered in paint and only did a little bit of sanding to make
sure there were no big splinters or sharp corners. No fancy joints
either - butt joints on the corners and I attached the shelves with
screws through the side of the 2x4s. Then I just recessed those a bit,
filled with spackle, sanded a bit and painted. Really easy, shouldn't be
more than a few hours of work, but I ended up having to stop several
times to make trips to the hardware store for things I was missing to
decided to add later. He won't mind too much :)

Re: Android: Using NTLM authentication with HttpClient : Digging My Blog

My example (taken from the example implementation that used to exist on the Samba site JCIFS) can be found here:

Re: Android: Using NTLM authentication with HttpClient : Digging My Blog

Dan Hounshell — Tue, 17 May 2011 22:19:40 -0000

That's fantastic. Nice to see it built into HttpClient now. You should definitely use that if possible.

Sorry I've delayed in posting my code. Getting ready to now.

Re: Android: Using NTLM authentication with HttpClient : Digging My Blog

Dan Hounshell — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 21:30:01 -0000

It looks like the NTLM Http authentication has been or will be pulled from JCIFS:
http://jcifs.samba.org/src/...

They recommend using Jespa instead:
http://www.ioplex.com/jespa...

For those looking the original NTLM Http Components documentation from the Apache site that I linked to above, it can be found here:
http://replay.waybackmachin...

I did get NTLM authentication working in an Android application using the process I described above. I can share/show the code I used if anyone needs to see it.

Re: Massive For The Enterprise

Dan Hounshell — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:13:54 -0000

I agree with Matt Groves, and not just because I work with him and we're both using Massive for different products that will running inside lots of very big enterprises. We didn't even collaborate on it we just both came to the same conclusion and chose to use it. It rocks. Use it.

And Rob, this is some of the funniest shit I've read in a long long time. You are on Fire!

"Usually 'Enterprise-ready' software is a steaming pile of XML served up with crap-sauce, a shot of Best Practices, and a side of 4-year Old Framework. It’s Frankenware, it’s horrific, and usually always wants to kiss your sister in front of you. With tongue.

... I’ve seen some amazing feats of shitware engineering in the name of XML..."

Seriously LOL stuff. Awesome yet so true.

It looks like that video is private now.

I agree - load times are horrid. I accidentally clicked a link and when I clicked the back link to come back to this page I almost decided to shut it down and forget it. I don't know if it's yours or Tumblr's but there is a js script link for what looks to be a code highlighter from drnicwilliams.com that is really slowing down your page load times. It takes at least 20 seconds for a page to display for me, sometimes more than 30. It appears to be hanging up on that link.

Same here! Though your menu sounds a little better than ours was this year. Sounds like I need to step up my game.

Re: Accessing Miso’s API: a sample ASP.NET application : Digging My Blog

Dan Hounshell — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 11:08:48 -0000

I forgot to mention it, but if you make the code sample above a little bit more generic (by pushing Urls and param names into configuration) then it will work as an OAuth authentication/authorization client for more than just Miso. The same code works well for me for Twitter as well, and it is very similar to the code and process that Twitterizer supplies in some of their example apps.
