    TWW had to put down his dog today. I didn’t expect him to make it back tonight. I thought he’d stay with his folks for another day at least. He did a long post here, mostly about the good times. Read it if you feel like getting a little mis...

    February 27, 2012
    If you’ve been following my halting steps towards a #ds106 mobile app, you’ve no doubt noticed it’s been somewhat iOS-centric. Well, not to fear! I’ve actually hit a wall on the iOS development and so as not to completely lose f...

    I just spent a while (a long while) creating this new wallpaper for my Android phone. I’m too exhausted to blog about the process, except to note three things: I drew the girl from scratch, inspired by shamelessly ripped off these girls from Ser...

    You know what I hate? Intellectual dishonesty. You’ve seen me talk about the Art of Manliness on this blog before. A question that has naturally come up in conversation, then, is, “What about the Art of Womanliness?” I understand that...

    Herein I explain how I did my previous post. You start, obvs, with the piece of artwork in question, which, honestly, I have no idea what it’s called. Then you find a picture of a fat cat on Google Images and paste it as a new layer onto the background, trimming everything away but the ...

    Bear in mind that while I know the fundamentals of programming in general, working with Cocoa (and Cocoa Touch) and Objective-C is something I picked up basically a couple weeks before the semester started. I am essentially a novice. That said – behold, a working prototype of the mobile app on an iPad simulator: Ugly? ...

    Hi. It’s been a while, Itinerant Intolerance. Looking at the other blogs in the #ds106-ocube, there’s a lot of creative stuff being done. Do you remember when I said I never got to do the right-brain stuff? Apparently I’m only motivated to Make Art, Dammit™ every now and then and that’s the real answer. I’m ...

    Well, here it is. The obligatory post about a text editor. If you’re wondering at all why I’ve posted the past few entries, please do refer to the links I’ve posted. That should clear you right up. Coming from Linux (and a really, really pretentious trip down broken-computing lane that was), I learned a few ...

    Makes you forget just how often you hit that Backspace key. This one actually took me three attempts – that one crumpled-up sheet of paper is me trying to be economical/green/whatever. I noticed the <body> tag was indented weirdly, and there’s that extraneous line break, but whatever. I reproduced what I saw faithfully because that’s ...

    You #ds106 cats would understand the efficacy of open, online education – here goes nothing. I’m checking out this School of Webcraft thing. I never advanced much in my programming beyond a few things I’d consider basic knowledge, and whatever I do have is covered in rust. Lacking any kind of focus (except that Android/iOS ...

    For all you #ds106 cats with smartphones, help is on the way. I’m figuring out Android programming so we can roll out an app that lets you view the ds106.us feed, check out individual entries, comment on them and share them via your various/sundry social networks without having to use your mobile browser. Once I ...

    One little annoyance I’ve had in my switch from Linux to the Mac was the lack of wget. wget is a neat little command-line utility that allows you to grab things from the Web using http, https or ftp. “But Alan,” you say, “I can just do that in my browser!” Sure, and for one ...

    You pretty much all know by now that as a once die-hard Linux user, I used to be virulently anti-Mac, anti-iDevice, basically anti-Apple. While some other people from the Apple camp are moving to Linux on principle, I discarded my ideals as less than expedient and got a 13″ MacBook Pro about a month ago. I ...
