A Brief Thought Experiment

Why shouldn’t we be allowed to have multiple files with the same name in one directory, so long as they’re all different versions of the same file?

To wit:

$ ls -al
-rw-r--r--   1 ardekantur  staff      60 Jul  6 23:20 hello_world.c
-rw-------   1 ardekantur  staff      62 Jul  5 13:00 hello_world.c
-rw-r--r--   1 ardekantur  staff      61 Jul  7 00:35 hello_world.c

No PHC.

Why I Still Refuse To Use Pixelmator Part II

Pixelmator’s lasso tool is all or nothing. That is to say, if you wish to select something with it, you must hold down your mouse button the entirety of the time you are making your selection. This makes it impossible to do anything but the most basic of selections. Nothing refined or nuanced. This is extremely frustrating.

Taskomaly Keeps Chugging Along

Straight from the readme:

you need to clean your room

make it a project

 proj = Taskomaly::Project.new 'Room Cleaning'

add some tasks to it

 proj.add 'put away clean laundry'
 proj.add 'wash dirty dishes'

tag those suckas up

 proj.add 'file taxes @april @15'
 proj.tasks.last.tags                   # [:april, :"15"]
 
 proj.add 'organize shelf'
 proj.tasks.last.tag :knickknacks, 1000, 'september'
 proj.tasks.last.tags                   # [:knickknacks, :"1000", :september]

EDIT As usual, I omit all the pertinent information. You can see the code here and attempt to install the gem with instructions from my previous blog entry.

Taskomaly is a Gem

GitHub is awesome:

$ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
$ sudo gem install ardekantur-taskomaly

Please to be enjoying.
