Just another WordPress site
That moment when you make a commit to the repository of the culmination of several days worth of grinding on a problem. This is me.
The extra special sauce being that it is one of the cornerstone modules so not only do I get to watch it build before I go home, I get to watch more or less the entire modular ecosystem build.
Tomorrow is integration day. I don’t think my heart can stand up to doing that tonight with no one around to help me support it.
The new Growl is here! The new Growl is here!
Oh, wait, it’s now a paid application? But it’s open source.
So now we’re in dependency hell because there’s no Maven-like dependency management widget in Xcode. Also, knowing full well I’m behind the times, I still prefer SVN to either Git or Mercurial. I understand how both of these are more desirable in OSS development initiatives. I just don’t like them.
Oh, and so what is up with Google now running all of their search result links through their own proxy now? I really dislike the extraneous metadata they attach to their links now. It’s also a PITA to clean up because, bless their hearts, they are actually HTTP escaping their URLs. Now one right-clicks a search result link and gets http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdictionary.reference.com%2Fbrowse%2Fstupid&ei=rge4TqGZDYnhsQKCndT_Aw&usg=AFQjCNGEqQexn968lheIsBKwJ37dIe1d9Q when all one really wants is http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stupid.
For some reason this running all search results through their proxy really pisses me off. I’d expect this from Microsoft. Coming from Google, this feels icky and gamable. So, off to find some Greasemonkey or Firefox plugin that scrapes that metadata while I continue to try building Growl.
I don’t even know what is so desirable about this new version…. FML?
