Tachymeter:

Using a tachymeter on a watch. Should be over 10 seconds to be accurate.

Pick an initial location
Time till object reaches second location.
Read tachymeter dial (number) on the rim of the watch.
The reading should be read of as “the average speed for X to go from point A to B is Y miles/hour” where Y is the the tachymeter dial.

macvim: MacVim is a Cocoa binding for vim so it acts like a native Mac OS X app. I have been using it only a few days and I am already blown away. It’s akin to Aquamacs for the Emacs crowd.

Equal Div Box Height

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:45:00 -0700

Way to make two content div boxes equal height through javascript. CSS hacks suck and this seems the most reasonable solution outside of that…

 box1 = document.getElementById('box1');
 box2 = document.getElementById('box2');
 if(box1.offsetHeight > box2.offsetHeight) {
     box2.style.height = box1.offsetHeight + "px";
 } else {
     box1.style.height = box2.offsetHeight + "px";
 }

LaTeX for Humanity Papers

LaTeX for Humanity Papers:

Long have I searched for the perfect document management system. That one jewel that would save me from the tortures of managing notes and thoughts side by side with my writing. A tool that’d let me manage many things and be as simple as a text file.

At long last, have I (re)found such a system. Maybe I didn’t get it the first time, maybe I didn’t know it would be so wonderful, but I have (re)discovered LaTeX and I love it!

My OCF Page:

I updated my design for my OCF website. I wanted to explore a different approach than my previous design. That is I wanted to get to the core of what I want to do. I want people to come to this blog, I want people to look at my photos, I want people to be able to access my resume, and I want people to email me. That’s it! Four simple things.

I know I could add a lot more, but by keeping it simple I get to the core of what matters.

What’s the deal with bike helmets? Is it acceptable to wear one? I see a lot of white people who ride fixed gear bikes with skateboard helmets, but just as many people who ride those bikes without. Are there guidelines that outline the acceptable combinations of helmet style to bike style?

Also, what is the most acceptable way to avoid getting my pant leg caught in the chain?

Does comedy really induce questions about reality? Here…

git:

I’ve been content with Mercurial as it’s fast and lets you do development and for the most part keeps out of your way. It has few dependences and is a great DVCS. However, the problem I am finding with Mercurial and one of the great benefit’s of DVCS is branching and Mercurial, I think, gets its branching legacy from CVS/Subversion.

To branch in Mercurial you basically clone the repository into a new repository and work in the new repository. For example, say you have repository A….
