Live Your Eulogy
by
My friend Eric recently wrote about his quest to get the right fit in his life. It seems to me that he is trying to sort out the things that are most important to him and then set about doing them, and in theory, getting someone to pay him for it. Darryl at Loving the…
Your Company Has a Culture
by
Your company has a culture, and it may not be the one you want. I’ve worked at a number of businesses and the fact is that the ‘culture’ that management thought they were fostering and the culture that the employees thought was there, were two entirely different things. A company’s core values are what define…
An Alternative View on Light Table
by
I think that Light Table looks pretty neat but not everyone agrees. Going through the comments most people seem to be excited about Light Table and disagree with the post. I haven’t used Eclipse so I can’t really speak to the truth of the post but at the least it’s always worth taking a step…
Getting the Right Coding Environment
by
I typically use MacVim with Janus (I’ve stripped some things out) mainly because of the navigation and the fact that you really don’t ever need to take your hands off the keys. I still find that MacVim is missing things, like completion of functions in a project, or adding extra folders to a project. When…
Light Table on Kickstarter
by
I spoke about code editors and highlighted Light Table earlier. Just saw that Light Table is on Kickstarter. If you think it’s the future of code editors, hope on board. I certainly think Light Table is cool, but I’m undecided about supporting it on Kickstarter.
Making Things More Useful
by
I’ve got a fairly small place and a kid and 4 kayaks and 4 bikes and a couple snowboards and lots of other outdoor gear. Right now this means that my office is in my bedroom. I did a pretty large upgrade to my office this year. This awesome furniture has me thinking about doing…
What is a Minimum Viable Product
by
The whole notion of a minimum viable product stems from the fact that you don’t want to work away on ‘the next big thing’ only to launch it and find out that you’re the only one that thinks it’s worth any money. But there is some danger in getting something bare bones out. Sometimes, though,…
Multitasking is a Farce
by
I don’t multitask, well not if I want to get anything of any real substance done with my time. If I want to waste time then I have Twitter and MailPlane and Linkinus open just to make sure that I can get distracted (wait ‘multitask) as often as possible. I’m still surprised how much of…
My MacVim Disclaimer
by
Since I often end up talking about my love of Vim keybindings in reference to any writing app, I figured I’d take the time to simply write it out once and link back in the future. I use Vim (well MacVim) to write code all day. The highlight of Vim for me, is the extensive…
Getting Customers for a New Product
by
I’ve mentioned before that I have a product in the works so I’m obviously interested in how to get customers for it. While there are a number of good tips in the article a few seem off base, or at least shady. Build a network of landing pages that target various other long tail keywords…
