dwm on Mac OS X

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:58:00 +0100

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. A bunch of small tweaks are needed to get the optimal experience, though, and I have started collecting those in a gist. Please do tell if you have anything to add.

Enjoy: Installing and configuring dwm on Mac OS X.

Hashidator!

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 05:08:00 +0100

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:

It can validate arrays and nested hashes and knows about duck typing and booleans as well. For full coverage consult the example.

I spent a few late-night hours hacking this stupidly simple chat server together in Go. While the code probably sucks, it was a nice and–almost–painless experience. Go, Go!
