Re: How We Built Borderland Out Of A Spreadsheet

Rob Knight — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 02:21:31 -0000

Imperfect I suppose, but also pretty slick and crafty! I'm wondering if you considered using Markdown in the Google Spreadsheet rather than HTML?

I did a search in DuckDuckGo for "mavericks python issues" and this post showed up. I'm so grateful it did. Saved my sanity.

Is it possible to import an image to a new layer with Applescript?

Thank you for this. I was pulling my hair out (what's left of it) trying to get pip working.

Now that Pantheon supports Wordpress, is your recommendation the same for managing Wordpress?

Reminds me of author Michael Lewis' commencement speech to Princeton's class of 2012.

Luck always plays a role in success, whether you choose to see it that way or not. On *any* journey, successful or not, you will have help. Understanding the importance of luck helps keep us humble and grounded.

Re: TextMate 2 Basics - The Hiltmon

I cannot even begin to tell you how helpful this was. It's been awhile since I've used TextMate (I've been using Sublime Text 2) and this made me excited to try TM2. Thank you so much.

Re: Going Live With Node

As a Node beginner, I really appreciate your recent tutorials. In your last article, you said: "Personally, I tend to take things pretty slowly when learning a new framework..." I appreciate the pace of your articles. Thank you for your easy-to-follow, straightforward approach.

Re: Apple Is Using Sass, And They’re Doing It Wrong

Rob Knight — Fri, 24 May 2013 12:43:51 -0000

As a newer user of Sass, I love your article (full of helpful advice--thank you!), but I think your headline is a little unfair. "Doing it wrong" is discouraging to new users and implies that some newbie mistakes should be called out as some kind of failure.

Perhaps, "Apple is using Sass. Here's how they could use it better" or "Apple is using Sass and I have a few suggestions for how they could use it better" would be more encouraging and less punitive to a company moving in a positive direction and adopting a new technology.

I'm hoping for my first prime lens. A 35mm or a 50mm. #newb

Fliqlo! My favorite screensaver.

This reminds me of Wilson Miner's very lovely talk, "When we build." https://vimeo.com/34017777

I use Readability's URL shortening service (which also lets you read their cleaned version of the article) to read Gizmodo articles.

Write your own punch line. :-)

Re: Superfeedr : Sinatra, Heroku and Superfeedr

This article helped a ton as I tried to build a Heroku app using Sinatra and the Instagram API. Thank you.

Adding the /Developer folder to Alfred! Sweet. I was wondering how to get the simulator to show up in Alfred.

So it's obvious where I was sitting? And what I was doing, perhaps?

I just love the almost cathartic end. "Gave no candy."

Candy was not given. A pox on your house.

I love chocolate covered bananas.

Re: a very curious message on twitter

Rob Knight — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 19:37:34 -0000

If I'm not mistaken, "Followers" was a command when you used Twitter via chat. It would return your current number of followers.

Maybe it saw "followers" as a command? Curious.

Re: Finding a local news feed

Rob Knight — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 00:03:12 -0000

I've wanted this in Santa Cruz too. Because our local paper isn't so good, I'm looking in the other direction. Mainly the ability to pull relevant content from elsewhere on the web (Google News, Blogs, etc.) and filter out duplicates. Essentially, I think we're talking about some form of curation that doesn't require constant attention. Something similar to a spam filter, learning over time what content should come through and what shouldn't.

That is definitely the next layer we'll put on the web. It'll be the cheese cloth of local content.
