T minus four days and I’m getting ready for yet another trip to the Pole — this one is number ten. I guess I’m not sure what I’m going to write about on this trip, yet, but I will be posting updates as time allows. Just spent a few hours getting the blog software up to speed (there are lots of improvements I want to make if I have time). It’s interesting coming back to a project after nearly a year and seeing what I’ve learned since then. ..

Now that you have you system and project environment all setup you probably want to start developing. But you likely don’t want to start writing an entire project fully from scratch, as you dive in you’ll quickly realize theres many tools helping you build projects and sites faster. For example making a request to a website there’s Requests , for handling processing images there’s Python Imaging Library , or for a full framework to help y....

It seems Godaddy has finally plugged a hole in its whois privacy system which allowed users to see the domain owner's email address domain (ie ****@kevinohashi.com) if they tried to retrieve passwords. Now it requires the user the enter that email address instead of verifying that the asterisked email address is in fact the proper domain associated with the account. I highlighted the fix in the image below. Privacy at Godaddy just got a ..

Jubbin has been trying to find techno music that I would like. I’m picky - I don’t like female singers and I prefer kind of a specific sound. All of this Twitter YouTube linkage to music videos made me think - how do I discover new music that I like? Mostly nowadays it’s through hearing about a band through another band, or liking music in a movie and getting the score. Or, a lot of the time, clicking through related YouTube videos until I..

This is the first of a multipart series to getting started with Python. Throughout this guide we’ll walk you through a full setup. For starters if you’re a mac or linux user you already have Python on your system. You should be able to confirm you have python my opening up a terminal window and running: $ python --version Python 2.7.2 As long as you see a Python version 2.5.x-2.7.x you should be fine to continue. From here we’....

What annoyed me about Real Steel - and the one thing I really really liked.

I liked Real Steel overall as a feel-good movie, but was still left somewhat disappointed on my way home from the cinema. My problem, I realized, was expecting Real Steel to be a movie about robots. It is not. Real Steel is a people story centered around the relationship between a boy and his dad - the robots are really just a hazy backdrop.

Problem: Show 1 = 2 (with calculus) “Solution”: Consider the following: $ 1^2 = 1$ $ 2^2 = 2 + 2$ $ 3^2 = 3 + 3 + 3$ $ \vdots$ $ x^2 = x + x + \dots + x$ ($ x$ times) And since this is true for all values of $ x$, we may take the derivative of both sides, and the equality remains true. In other words:

Over the last few weeks, I have been trying to think of a way to design medium to large client-heavy web applications. There are many projects and ideas floating around that are meant to help you with this and I have had a look at quite a few of them. I don’t mean to say that I found the best one — just one that I like. I want to talk about data-driven applications. What I mean is that everything you do somehow manipulates or shows specif....

When I was working at a small web development shop in Iceland, we developed a lot of applications. Some of those applications were used by what you would consider the "older generation" and/or "normal users". Working at a small company like that you need to wear many hats, so usually what would happen is that I would end up teaching the end users to use most of the applications I developed. I really hated it and I'm guessing most developers..

Not long ago we released a sharing kit for Android. Today, we’re equally excited to announce a similar sharing kit for iOS. With the sharing kit, you can add SoundCloud sharing to your iPhone and iPad apps with only a few lines of code. We provide everything you need to let your users share their sounds to SoundCloud, including authentication, UI and connections to other social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

Ok, I think it’s time to write another blog entry. I’ve been traveling and dealing with jetlag from 10-hour time difference, then traveling some more, spoken at conferences, drank beer, had fun, then traveled some more, trained customers, hacked some Exadatas and now I’m back home. Anyway, do you know what is the SQL_EXEC_ID in V$SESSION and ASH views? Oh yeah, it’s the “SQL Execution ID” just like the documentation says … all clear. Um..

The leadership in the local church is often made up of very incompetent people. I don’t mean incompetent in the sense that they can’t lead. I mean in their knowledge and understanding of theology in general and of the gospel in particular. The Bible says that the leaders in the church should be first and foremost able to teach. If you can’t teach the Bible, perform mature exegesis on a text or even struggle to find a book in the Bible, you ....

The old Dell mouse that I’ve had for years (I believe since my Interzone Games days) has been getting senile in its old age and not registering clicks properly. I noticed a few months ago that I wasn’t able to make a proper selection in Photoshop without losing my drag and having to re-select several times, but put up with it while it was still fairly manageable.

Usually when designers are designing both print and website layouts, banner ads and other user interfaces, they need to have some text copy to work with. Most of the time, the client or the company they are working for doesn't have text copy prepared, so designers usually place so called "Lorem Ipsum" content into their designs. Lorem Ipsum has been used for many decades as placeholder content in print layout designs. It's based on latin, b..

Details of drawing in progress The wheel turns, and returns — during a very busy fall season work-wise I have been unable to get much painting done but have lately been drawing in the evenings with ink and gouache — such a fun and flexible pairing of media. Drawing seems to be what I come back to, again and again. Will be headed to the Pole again in just a few weeks, so check back for some more blog posts!
