Open Source JSON Can’t Compare to Three-legged Belizean Monkeys
Poor, neglected blog. Normal life as an Indianapolis software developer just isn’t as exciting to write or read about as three-legged dog-riding monkeys in Belize. Be that as it may, I do have a little something to share with the world today…and hopefully we’ll have more entertaining travel stories in the near future. Geek Post […]

Check Your “self” Before You Wriggity Wreck Yourself
I had an annoying day of trying to track down memory leaks and other memory-related iPhone development problems yesterday which turned out to be caused by a really simple and careless absence of the word “self” in one of my initialization methods. Observe. itemId = itemIdentifier; is definitely not the same as self.itemId = itemIdentifier; […]

Vibra-slappa rata-tat-tatta
Whew! It has been a busy couple of weeks. We started, finished, and released to the App Store our first iPhone application and launched a new iPhone consultancy company, Believe in Science Software.

Spring can’t get here fast enough. Weather aside, though, 2009 is gearing up to […]
Open Source Software Collaboration with Daan
I recently had a cool experience with open source software and the worldwide internet community. A while back I was working at a giant insurance company that had a history of ginormous development teams and projects that grew way beyond original scope, went way over budget, and were occasionally canceled even after completion because the […]
Subversion pre-commit hook for Redmine
Close on the heels of my last post, here’s a little pre-commit script to help integrate Redmine issues with svn commits. The basic idea is that you can’t commit code to the repository without referencing a Redmine ticket. I searched the tubez for quite a while looking for something else like this. I found this […]
Migrating from Trac to Redmine (on Dreamhost)
I recently switched a couple of side projects I had hosted with Dreamhost from Trac to Redmine. The process was surprisingly easy. Even though the actual migration was easy, it took me a long time (almost longer than my patience would tolerate) to find the command that would do the import of wiki data, tickets, […]
