I like Vim and I like using ‘J’ and ‘K’ to scroll text down and up. I know about Vimperator/Vimium, but they seem too powerful to me. That’s why I started my NIH browser extension. At the moment, Firefox and Chrome are supported. Here are the sources. Any advice or comments are welcome!

Create.js and VIE were recently added to the core of Drupal 8 . Just like with TYPO3 Neos , I’ll write a longer post on how things went later. The German PHPmagazin was already fast enough to interview me on that at VIE und Create.js: Warum In-place Editing so erfolgreich ist . While there were many interesting CMSs already using Create – including OpenCms , Symfony CMF , Midgard , and Neos – I can understand why the inte....

Thanks to the magic that is Instapaper, I was able to reference the original text of Josh Topolsky’s article Integrity and Bullies with Blogs rather than the updated version available on his Tumblr blog, although my efforts proved to be for naught when I found the only difference between the two version to be the removal of a single sentence in the opening paragraph. Despite this I do not regret spending the extra ten minutes it took to....

When Marco Arment released The Magazine in early October, the announcement attracted the attention of many prominent internet writers , all of which spoke very enthusiastically about Marco’s magazine initiative. A biweekly publication released through iOS’s Newsstand, The Magazine featured articles from Guy English, Jason Snell, Alex Payne, and Michael Lopp in just the first issue . The second issue attracted work from John Si..

After my startup 's launch was covered by TechCrunch I was asked by a lot of people how it happened. People wanted copies of my pitch to learn from. It was as if I had discovered some arcane secret. But I didn't believe that. All I had done was read a couple blog posts from other startups with copies of their pitches (Thanks Jason L. Baptiste , Vinicius Vacanti , Leo Widrich ) and one journalist who shared his thoughts (Thanks Sean B....

After hacking around with a few firefox internals the other day , I decided there was another little annoyance that I had… When I’m acting insane and using my mouse to open and close tabs , the per tab close button disappears when there is only one tab left! This is apparently a feature , and while I can respect it as a default, it certainly isn’t an option for me. Thankfully, there are a lot of common minded individuals on the net, and t..

In order to visually enhance my temperature logging I added some Javascript that computes sunrise and sunset for the 24h, 28h, weekly and monthly chart. Then I use this information to plot vertical bands on the chart indicating the effects of the sun on temperatures (and humidities): To add the bands to your Highchart just get the sunrise and sunset value for a particular day and push it on the xAxis.

Firefox has a “new tab” speed dial type page available. I use it as my homepage (hint, use: about:newtab) and find it very useful for launching my often used favourites. My one gripe is that it only shows you a default grid of 3 x 3. You can easily change that if you look in the secret preferences. Open a new tab and type in: about:config , accept the warning, and then search for: browser.newtabpage.rows and browser.newtabpage.colu..

Absolutely hilarious. I remember seeing a series of tweets to this effect last year around Christmas, but couldn’t find any of those tweets for this post given Twitter’s 3200 tweet archive limit . Truly unfortunate. Permalink.

The controversial touchdown during the third quarter of this afternoon’s Houston-Detroit football game left me shaking my head for the rest of the day. Marc Sessler summed it up perfectly in his article Justin Forsett, Houston Texans gifted a touchdown : the Texans certainly were gifted a touchdown, and unfortunately that touchdown gave them the edge they needed to beat Detroit in overtime.

Mercurial loads a bunch of different configuration files and overlays their values on top of each other. The hgrc man page shows the order in which these files are loaded. I encountered an issue recently where I knew that hg was using an erroneous setting but I had no idea where the setting was coming from. The magic answer is hg --debug showconfig This will output all the current settings, along with the name of the file that it ..

As I mentioned in We’re Live , I wrote a slick content management system designed to streamline the publication of my content to the web. Serving as a nod of acknowledgment to Marco Arment’s efforts in developing his very own CMS dubbed Second Crack, I call my system First Crack. In this post I will talk about why I chose to write my own content management system instead of using an existing engine — a topic that will stretch to encompass ..

A fun idea came to me a while back: using x86 assembly, could I implement a basic if/else statement that runs arbitrary code without using any conditional instructions? If you care to try out the challenge, I'd recommend using a language that provides low level memory access and then taking a quick break from reading further. Determining Inequality The first part of the problem that we need to consider is this: is there any way to tell that..

I’m working on some fancy puppet “code”, and I realized recursion could be very useful. I decided to try out a little hack to see if I could get it to work. I’ll jump right into the code: #!/usr/bin/puppet define recursion( $count ) { notify { "count-${count}" : } $minus1 = inline_template( '<%= count.to_i - 1 %>' ) if "${minus1}" == '0' { notify { 'done counting!' : ..

In my last post, Getting Started on WordPress.com, Tumblr, or Squarespace , I briefly touched on an important design principle towards the end of the article, where I cautioned against choosing a theme that did not showcase your work to the fullest extent possible. I did not, however, explain my reasons for this caution. In the beginning I considered design to be of paramount importance. Even more so, in fact, than the content itself. As t..
