Launch Services Woes

For the past week or so, I’ve been suffering from slowness in the Finder, corrupted icons and terrible performance in our version control client (Versions).

Today, I decided to do something about it. The first step was to sample Versions while it was beachballing. The app was spending most of its time in [NSWorkspace iconForFile:]. That, along with the corrupted icons I was seeing in various apps made me suspect that there was a corrupted database somewhere. But where?

Visceral Apps and You — Mysterious Trousers

So here’s my theory: I believe that introducing visceral elements into an app will take it past the point of just being awesome. It will make your app speak to the subconscious, built-in affinity that humans have for the physical properties I mentioned before. I believe that even if you designed the most perfect and useful app possible, that the act of adding in these visceral elements will make people love your app on an even deeper level.

Using Hazel to Highlight any Uncommitted git Changes

Today I thought I’d share one of the more esoteric Hazel rules I use to monitor the files on my Mac. (If you’re not familiar with Hazel, an indespensible Mac utility that everyone should own, here’s a brief intro.)

This rule monitors the folder containing all of my git repositories and highlights any sub-folders that have uncommitted changes. At the end of a work day, it’s a great way to see at a glance which projects have unsaved changes.

What happens when pirates play a game development simulator and then go bankrupt because of piracy? | Greenheart GamesGreenheart Games

The cracked version is nearly identical to the real thing except for one detail… Initially we thought about telling them their copy is an illegal copy, but instead we didn’t want to pass up the unique opportunity of holding a mirror in front of them and showing them what piracy can do to game developers. So, as players spend a few hours playing and growing their own game dev company, they will start to see the following message, styled like any other in-game message:

Boss, it seems that while many players play our new game, they steal it by downloading a cracked version rather than buying it legally.
If players don’t buy the games they like, we will sooner or later go bankrupt.

Setting up Jenkins for Github and Xcode, with Nightlies

When you work alone on a single project, it’s easy to unnoticeably break the build, or introduce some specific dependency on a quirk of your main work Mac. Since that’s annoying, I decided to set up Jenkins, a continuous integration system on my Mac mini that serves as my EyeTV DVR, media centre and home server.

It’s not that hard, but some of the details are a bit fiddly and under-documented, so I thought I’d write down how I made it work before I forget it (and for when I next have to set it up again). My source code is in a Github repository, and while I was at it, I wanted to set it up that one of my open source projects gets nightly builds FTPed onto its web site (but only when I’ve actually changed something).

Server statistics in Status Board - Bensmann

Panic, the company behind apps such as Coda and Transmit, has released a new app called Status Board. This app is in essence a widget hub for your iPad, showcasing cool stuff such as tweets, e-mail, calendar and much more. One of the most awesome things though is the ability to make your own widgets, or to supply data to widgets. It wasn’t hard to think of something I wanted to use this for … Just to get started with this, I decided to show load stats and disk-space for my servers. Initially, the question was how to get this data from the servers to wherever I wanted to collect the data.

Views expressed here are personal and are based on my needs and preferences. If I were you, I'd have a look a all of these and try them out yourself.

Webby is a fantastic little website management system. It would be called a *content management system* if it were a bigger kid. But, it's just a runt with a special knack for transforming text. And that's really all it does - manages the legwork of turning text into something else, an *ASCII Alchemist* if you will.

Webby works by combining the contents of a page with a layout to produce HTML. The layout contains everything common to all the pages - HTML headers, navigation menu, footer, etc. - and the page contains just the information for that page. You can use your favorite markup language to write your pages; Webby supports quite a few.

mythmon/wok

Wok is a static website generator. It turns a pile of templates, content, and resources (like CSS and images) into a neat stack of plain HTML.

The idea is that you don't need a big server-side engine like PHP to generate every page every visit: you can generate them all ahead of time, and only regenerate things when something has changed. A good way this could be done would be with a post-commit hook on a git repository containing your content or layout.

I made wok because projects like Jekyll, Hyde, and Static were intriguing, but in the end didn't quite match what I wanted to do with my website. So I am writing my own. Funnily, the mythical website that inspired wok still hasn't been written.

Hastie is intended as replacement of jekyll (for myself), but jekyll has a robust plugin, extensibility and community that I do not expect to even attempt. If you are looking for a flexible tool to publish your site use jekyll.

If you are looking for a tool to tweek and play with the Go language, then this might be your choice. Most customizations will probably require code changes. The reason I created the tool was to learn Go, I'm publishing to hopefully help others with playing with the language.

Note: The name Hastie also comes from the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Home | webgen - static website generator

webgen is a free (GPL-licensed) command line application for generating static websites. You could write a static website by hand, of course. But by using webgen you have several advantages:

* The page layout is separated from the content: if you change the layout, all pages that use that layout are automatically updated. You can have any number of different layouts and even nested ones.

* Write content in a markup language: The content and layout files can be written in a markup language like Markdown, Textile or Haml which lets you concentrate more on what you write.

* Automation: webgen can automatically generate, for example, menus and breadcrumb trails for you.

* Dynamic content: It is easy to add some dynamic content if there is a need for it.
Self-Contained websites: webgen websites are self contained since all generated links are relative ones. This allows one to preview a generated site without a web server!

Maintaining documentation in Markdown

Markdown can be a great tool for maintaining large documentation projects of any kind. There are simple and not-so-simple ways to create the output, but the basic idea is always to maintain the source documents in Markdown format. It provides an easy way to update and maintain multiple output formats and a centralized repository of information that’s easily shared, community editable and ready to pass on to new participants.

There are quite a few ways to work with such a system. I’m going to outline a few that I’ve used, but I know there are plenty more. Feel free to add your own favorites in the comments.
