Daniel Jalkut just wrote about a desktop bookmarking app called Pukka, which despite being apparently nice enough to warrant a positive review, was simple enough that Leo Laporte wasn’t comfortable just saying it cost $15. …

VoodooPad 3.5
http://michael-mccracken.net/wp/2008/02/11/voodoopad-35/From Flying Meat, VoodooPad 3.5 is out. (release notes here). It’s a solid update, including welcome image-editor integration and more. I thought I’d point out my favorite feature in the release notes: “You can now edit pages and sort the results in the search window (woo!).” I like this because …

PyObjC notes
http://michael-mccracken.net/wp/2008/02/01/pyobjc-notes/I’ve been hacking around with PyObjC, the Python-ObjC/Cocoa bridge recently, and it’s quickly becoming my favorite way to write Cocoa apps. It’s really natural to mix Python idioms with Cocoa objects. The latest version of PyObjC is 2.0, it’s installed by default on OS X 10.5, and XCode now includes templates for starting a PyObjC project. …

The Price of Free
http://codesorcery.net/2008/03/31/the-price-of-free/that conversation has passed (however, you should still go over there and read both Daniel’s excellent analysis as well as the many thoughtful comments if this is a topic of interest for you.) Other folks also got their say on their own blog posts: Michael McCracken, Tom Armitage, Matt Johnston, and Baron VC, for starters. One of the commenter’s thoughts, about Pukka being no more than two hours of work, is ludicrous enough that I’m not even going to address it save mentioning a few nuggets of Pukka

Twitter Stats
http://thomas.fiveuptons.com/blog/?p=188detail in another post. It seems that Wordpress has some issues with certain words that are contained in posts. Damon Cortesi wrote a pretty nifty script to grab some Twitter statistics. A bunch of people modified his script in order to webify it, plot the results using gnuplot, and plot the results with the Google Charts API. This last modification really intrigued me, as I know there are a few wrappers for the Google Charts API available, including one for Python. I decided to modify

szopa, reaktywacja (życie po google)
http://szopa.blogspot.com/2008/02/szopa-reaktywacja.htmli niezliczoną ilość mejli. Przez niemal dwa miesiące Google był istotną częścią mojego życia. Oczywiście, strasznie mi było przykro, gdy Google powiedziało, że mi dziękuje, ale jednak nie kocha i nie chce, abym pracował u nich jako Site Reliability Engineer (czyli taki überadmin, który się zajmuje dużymi ilościami komputerów naraz -- co sprawia, że jego praca polega bardziej na automatyzacji niż administracji): It was a pleasure speaking with you regarding the Software Engineer Google.com position

Twitter Stats
http://buffawhat.com/feeder/?FeederAction=clicked&feed=Artic...s been up to with Twitter over the past year. Originally scripted in perl with use in Numbers on OSX, he posted the code and shortly thereafter, bugs were fixed, code reengineered and polished to work into ruby and googlechart and gnuplot. Here’s my stats below, thanks to @twistednexus for chrunching the script for me… It turns out that I talk to my bear friends on twitter a lot (@steiger, @cantorum, @bearpupuk), as well as Beth (@kidkreativader) from

Twitter Stats
http://iamthewalr.us/blog/2008/01/02/twitter-stats/created an awesome script to generate some statistics about your twitter usage. Unfortunately, it used Numbers to generate its charts, and I don’t happen to have Numbers on this machine. Mike McCracken then made a version that used gnuplot, but to build gnuplot you need to build X11, and well, I don’t have all day. So I, feeling an itch, I decided to use the Google Charts API to create the charts. It only took about an hour or so to get everything working, Google Charts is quite easy

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/tocky/20080103/p1で、一気にネタが広まったのか、さっそくWeb版Twitter Statsもあるけどアクセス集中しているのか重い。お、Ruby版もあるみたい。IWork'08手元にないのでNumber持ってない僕のような人にはGNUPlotを使ったり、Google Chart APIでクールにグラフ化してくれる。で、Google Chart APIを使ってやってみた。 Permalink | コメント(0) | トラックバック(0)
