On Keeping A Journal and Journaling

Posted on January 1, 2014January 1, 2014 by jonesy

I've kept a journal since I was 11. That was in the mid 80's. I hadn't heard the word “journaling” until about a year or so ago, and lately it appears that giving advice and howto information about journaling is a bit of a cottage industry. I had no idea so many people were in…

Nose and Coverage.py Reporting in Hudson

Posted on December 2, 2010 by bkjones

I like Hudson. Sure, it’s written in Java, but let’s be honest, it kinda rocks. If you’re a Java developer, it’s admittedly worlds better because it integrates with seemingly every Java development tool out there, but we can do some cool things in Python too, and I thought I’d share a really simple setup to…

Python IDE Frustration

Posted on May 13, 2010 by bkjones

I didn’t think I was looking for a lot in an IDE. Turns out what I want is impossibly hard to find. In the past 6 months I’ve tried (or tried to try): Komodo Edit Eclipse w/ PyDev PyCharm (from the first EAP build to… yesterday) Wingware Textmate Wingware First, let’s get Wingware out of…

Per-machine Bash History

Posted on May 10, 2010 by bkjones

I do work on a lot of machines no matter what environment I’m working in, and a lot of the time each machine has a specific purpose. One thing that really annoys me when I work in an environment with NFS-mounted home directories is that if I log into a machine I haven’t used in…

New Job, Car, Baby, and Other News

Posted on October 22, 2009 by bkjones

New Baby! I know this is my geek blog, but geeks have kids too, so first I want to announce the birth of our second daughter, Sadie, who was born on September 15th. She’s now over a month old. This is the first time I’ve stayed up late enough to blog about her. Everyone is…

Cool Mac/Mobile Software for Sysadmins, Programmers, and People

Posted on September 3, 2009September 3, 2009 by bkjones

I recently upgraded my primary workhorse (a MacBook Pro) to Snow Leopard. Before I did, I decided to go through and take stock of all of the documents and software I’d accumulated. While I was doing this, I simultaneously got into a conversation with a buddy of mine about the software he uses on his…

Django Settings in Dev and Production: Why the hoops?

Posted on August 17, 2009 by bkjones

So, I’ve taken a break from active development on my project to take a step back and really get a good development workflow together. I’ve been fighting with various components of my development workflow, and in the end decided to compromise: I won’t have something that looks exactly like production, but I’ll have something that…

Totally Hooked: ‘Things’ for Mac

Posted on May 19, 2009May 19, 2009 by bkjones

First, I want to point out the only thing I hate about this application: the name. It’s bad for me, it’s bad for the developers… it’s just bad. If I ever had a problem, how am I supposed to do a search for that? If the developers want to find blog posts like this one,…

Two extremely handy geek URLs

Posted on March 25, 2009 by bkjones

I know, I know. I haven’t been posting nearly enough. But I did come across two URLs that are too handy not to pass on: Command-line-fu: this is a repository of handy one-liners submitted by pretty much anyone. You can log in with OpenID or register on the site itself. I expect this, or something…

Marc Andreessen on Everything

Posted on February 20, 2009February 20, 2009 by bkjones

Marc Andreessen was on Charlie Rose last night, and I missed it. A buddy told me about it, and I wanted to watch, but things just got in the way. So here it is. So, this is the very first time I’ve ever embedded video into a blog post. I couldn’t help myself. Why? I’ve…
