chrisroos: 1 drunk Chris = 1 lost wallet. Bugger. (via Twitter / chrisroos)
The Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury Kent. →
Gelbunkian theatre at Kent university. They should really have an rss feed of what’s on though.
Realli Ski, Kent →
A ski simulator in Canterbury that sounds pretty cool. It also sounds expensive though.
Coding Horror: Can Your Team Pass The Elevator... →
I don’t think it’s just coders that struggle to explain why they’re doing something…
Creamy Chicken Curry recipe - Waitrose.com →
The curry that I cooked last night. Hmmm. Actually, I’m not that good at cooking and it wasn’t that tasty. Oh well.
chrisroos: Just registered the-local-paper.co.uk (via Twitter / chrisroos)
chrisroos: Finished and getting ready for dinner. Aah, just one benefit of working at home :-) (via Twitter / chrisroos)
chrisroos: Getting ready to finish work. (via Twitter / chrisroos)
Thanet Life: Special Interest →
This is cool - a site of archeological interest was found by our local flying councilor.
Thanet Life: The Surge →
Wow. I don’t ever recall seeing the sea level quite that high at Ramsgate before.
chrisroos: Only just realised that Safari lets you resize textareas. That’s cool. (via Twitter / chrisroos)
Amazon Web Services Developer Connection : Virtual... →
A discussion on Amazon AWS about S3 hosted sites being able to serve up a default document. There’s no way at present and it doesn’t look like there’s any plans to add it either. Maybe a proxy would help?
Batteries & rechargeable batteries at Budget... →
I’ve just ordered some AA 1.2V 2100mAH Ni-MH batteries from here. I’m hoping they’re going to better than my original Sony ones that I’ve had for years and don’t hold their charge.
ACE - a collaborative editor →
Another collaborative text editor similar to SubEthaEdit. I haven’t tried it yet.
Pisara Editor blog →
The Pisara Editor blog. A research project into creating an alternative to SubEthaEdit using Java and (XMPP) Jabber.
pisara editor » home →
The Pisara Editor is a (student?) research project. This wiki hosts the project thesis.
[TxMt] Collaborative Editing →
TextMate author, Allan Odgaard, explaining why we won’t be seeing collaborative editing coming to TextMate anytime soon.
obby - Trac →
An open source alternative to SubEthaEdit. I haven’t tried this yet, although it boasts a couple of features that SEE doesn’t - notably a ‘folder view’ (like TextMate?)
BEEP Core protocol central, RFC 3080, RFC 3081,... →
The (or one of the) protocols used by SubEthaEdit. Bit too low level for me I think.
macfuse - Google Code →
A port of the linux FUSE (Filesystem in USErspace) project. I tested it yesterday with SshFS and it seems to work well. Sadly, TextMate balked when trying to open a rails project from the mounted ssh drive. I guess it’s not too surprising..
Rsync autologin over ssh question →
Mailing list question and answer about getting rsync to automatically log into the remote machine, rather than prompting for a password.
Running a SubEthaEdit "server" →
Post on the subethaedit blog about using applescript to automatically open SEE, announce the documents and set the permissions to read/write. Maybe we could make this happen on a keypress from textmate?

macosxhints.com - 10.4: Monitor file system events... →
Overview of some software that can monitor Mac OS X filesystem events in real-time. Includes the fslogger utility.
gfslogger: Subscribes to Mac OS X 10.4 fsevents... →
An open source version of the fslogger
A File System Change Logger for "Tiger" →
I’m wondering if something like this would allow us to keep two directories in sync using rsync? Specifically in the interests of pair programming using SubEthaEdit.
chrisroos: Hacking on a magical auto-rsync thingy using fslogger. Am I re-inventing the wheel? (via Twitter / chrisroos)
listing problems instead of solutions « silk and... →
A good post about how writing down the problem is much better than writing a solution. This applies to things that you haven’t done (todo list items) as well as things you have (svn commit messages, test names).
Design Decisions: Highrise import - (37signals) →
Good explanation of why you should always be trying to solve the “most important thing right now”. In this case, 37 signals saw lots of requests for “csv import” and tried to build something too generic too soon.
Main Page - Wookieepedia, the hirsute encyclopedia →
Although quite clearly illegible, I wouldn’t be surprised if Paul ‘claims’ he can read it. Eh Paul?
ipod covers macbook sleeves: Apple MacBook... →
My macbook cover. I’ve had it for nearly 15 months and it’s never been washed - it’s absolutely filthy. I guess it’s done its job though.
chrisroos: @aconbere - which parts of ruby aren’t so pretty? (via Twitter / chrisroos)
Amazon.co.uk: Labyrinth: Books: Kate Mosse →
Not a bad book. A little slow due to the length of the book but enjoyable none-the-less.
GreenTraveller previews new Eurostar service from... →
Journey time from London to Brussels is down to 1 hour and 43 minutes on the Eurostar. That’s pretty cool.

Techcrunch coverage of getsatisfaction.com receiving funding.

A great write-up from Bazaarvoice about the benefit of retailers getting reviews added to their site before the holida season. Some useful information that we may able to use if retailers push back and say they don’t have time to implement reviews.

Dismissed by TC US.. “However, Mr Arrington may be unaware of the drinking culture in Britain which gives us astounding courage, superhuman strength, âbeer gogglesâ and a propensity to engage in sexual relations barely knowing each otherâs first nam

Robert Scoble interviews Joseph Smarr, of Plaxo, about open social identity.
chrisroos: Happy with discovering assert_select_rjs in rails. (via Twitter / chrisroos)
walkit.com - walking directions and maps →
A site that suggests walking routes between two places in London (and elsewhere). This might be easier than just looking at google maps to get an idea of routes.
Hamster Shredder →
A brilliant idea.
Useful Google feature: better date search →
Matt Cutts explains how you can now restrict your google search results to pages that have appeared within their index within the last 24 hours. Cool.
chrisroos: Unsubscribe link in Pinnable Sys email is broken. Password retrieval is broken. No obvious email addresses on their site. Idiots. (via Twitter / chrisroos)

Jon Udell loves Common Craft’s paperworks videos too. They rock.

Comfortable and Great Quality Headphones:... →
Some headphone advice from Jermey Zawodny. Maybe, oneday, I’ll get around to buying some real headphones so that I can actually hear podcasts when travelling.
Modern Marketing - Blog by Collaborate PR &... →
Found from the reevooblog. One point stands out as I’ve said that we should try to do this at reevoo. “Ideally I’d like a very smart friend online who can give a single word answer when you asked him/her what you should buy: “Get this,” they would say.”
