Termite – a command line time tracker

Recently I felt the need to have some kind of time tracking tool, so I wrote a simple one in ruby. It requires only two gems to work (‘rubygems’ and ’sqlite3-ruby’). It is definitely a work in progress, but right now it is very easy to use and it gives reports for the last few days, last 3 weeks, and current month. Also, for mac users, it has the option to change your Adium statuses using...

ports wipe | homebrew + rvm

Recently I’ve heard about Max Howell’s homebrew and Wayne E. Seguin’s rvm from a friend (caffo), and hearing that they were both pretty cool, I decided to give them a shot. So if, like me, you are curious about these tools, I’ll post what I did to install them.

beer tasting

It was a little crash course for a small group of friends, and we served 23 different beers, some were very rare (or at least hard to find), and some were new even to both of us. We made a simple tasting form...

army brats

This was one of the coolest dreams ever, my friend Crash had just moved to a new apartment – close to some sort of dock – and the people that lived there were getting rid of military stuff. Suffice to say we took some amazing souvenirs, including a helmet from 1946 – that I saved to wear riding the harley I will eventually have, some rifle that I can’t name right now – not even sure it...
