dwm on Mac OS X

The one thing I have always been missing on Mac OS X was dwm. Not anymore. Simon Rozet showed the way, and now I am the happiest Mac user in the world. And a productive one, as well.

Hashidator!

I have been using MongoDB a lot recently, often using nothing but the low-level Ruby driver, and needed a way to validate input before passing it on to MongoDB. I give you: Hashidator. Example:
