Con #1: Try using the 4-finger swipe instead of double-tapping the home button.

I wish I could remember, but I haven't looked at or had access to that code in years...

Great, I'm glad it was helpful and thanks for pointing out that typo.

Re: Should I rename my gem?

Brentmc79 — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:26:27 -0000

Keep the name. Its only offensive when people make it offensive. Your gem adds event hooks to objects. Its a thing that hooks -- a hooker, not a prostitute. I'm all for being sensitive to others, but only up to a point. Don't cater to hypersensitivity.

Unfortunately, no, I don't have any public repos with backbone examples. You might want to check out these screencasts: http://backbonescreencasts....

Re: Brentmc79

Brentmc79 — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:09:17 -0000

Yeah, since Backbone requires Underscore, then you'll need to include Underscore first. So in you application.js file, just move the 'require underscore.js' line above 'require backbone.js' and you should be all set.

Re: Tidy views and beyond with Decorators

Brentmc79 — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:00:01 -0000

I'm sure it probably goes without saying, but I assume you'd want to namespace these decorators so they don't litter your more first-class object/models. Decorator::EatingMonkey or perhaps even Decorator::Monkey::EatingMonkey, etc...

Re: Keep local modifications in Git-tracked files

Brentmc79 — Fri, 20 May 2011 12:21:09 -0000

He wants to maintain local modifications to a git-tracked file, but have those modifications ignored in git status as though the file was listed in the .gitignore.

Re: Three Ways to Retain Your Dev Flow

Brentmc79 — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 10:56:17 -0000

While not intentional, I'm a frequent user of the "git dirty" technique, and I occasionally leave myself a note, but not as often as I would like...

Re: Alias Your Mom, and 4 Other Tips for Productive Development - Intridea Blog

Brentmc79 — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 09:51:35 -0000

Yeah, I use a 24" external monitor with my 15" Macbook Pro. So I usually have Vim in fullscreen on the external and then a browser/terminal on the mbp screen.

Re: Goodbye TextMate

Brentmc79 — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 09:56:04 -0000

Wow, I just went the opposite direction about 2 or 3 weeks ago and switched from Textmate to Vim. I told myself I'd give it a month and then decide. So maybe once the Vim trial is over, I'll give NetBeans a try. I did go ahead and download/install it and not surprisingly, its a huge memory hog just like Eclipse... http://lnkr.info/nrsA

Re: Dead simple task scheduling in Rails - Intridea Company Blog

Brentmc79 — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 12:31:59 -0000

We actually use Vlad to deploy this app, but the whole point of using this scheduler was to not have to modify the deployment process.

Re: Dead simple task scheduling in Rails - Intridea Company Blog

Brentmc79 — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 12:27:52 -0000

Yes, I actually did exactly that. I have a model that logs the start/stop time, the number of recipients, and if the task finished without errors for each digest. The first thing the send! method does is check to see if the digest has already been processed for that day.

Re: Eclipse Ganymede + Subclipse = Unable to load default SVN client???

Brentmc79 — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:40:19 -0000

Nice... I was just setting up my Android dev environment, and I was having a little problem getting subclipse to work, so I googled “Unable to load default SVN client”, and what do you know... I see a noted path. Hey, I know that guy. Thanks Theo.

Re: To be more educated or not?

Brentmc79 — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:04:52 -0000

Not... Or at least not yet. I'm gonna have to agree with Pete and say wait. I think an MBA would be more useful after a few more years of real world experience.

Re: Say what you’d say if you weren’t worried about getting fired.

Brentmc79 — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:57:08 -0000

Damn straight!

There's nothing worse in the workplace than having to deal with political BS and playing the corporate game. You know me, I call 'em like I see 'em cuz there's no point in beating around the bush. That just slows things down.
