I just discovered that Safari (the browser) won’t scroll the window via the space bar when the num lock key is on. So bizarre. I’m not sure why. I only figured it out because Safari was driving me nuts, then I saw the num lock light on and turned it out. Out of sheer habbit (which was annoying me moments earlier because my habbit wasn’t working) I hit space again and *bam* it scrolls.
This may be only on my MacBook Pro… I’ll have to try it with an external keyboard plugged in.

I’ve noticed something recently. Most people don’t work out. Most people laugh about how they don’t do it. But the really hot people? They just do it. They don’t talk about it because it doesn’t make for interesting conversation, like washing your car or mowing your lawn doesn’t make for interesting conversation. It’s just something that gets done.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of people who are damn fine and don’t work out at all… but the ones that are jaw droppingly hot? You can bet they do.

Four weeks in the last eight months. That’s how many weeks I haven’t exercised at least 3 times since I’ve been tracking it on my workout calendar. Most of those weeks, I was sick. Not too shabby.

I was playing with Google Sitemaps and was reading the docs. I knew spammers were dumb, but I had no idea they were this dumb.
What’s an SEO? Does Google recommend working with companies that offer to make my site Google-friendly?
Be wary of SEO firms that send you email out of the blue.
Amazingly, we get these spam emails too:
"Dear google.com,
I visited your website and noticed that you are not listed in most of the major search engines and directories…"
It scares me to think of what would happen if smart people got into spamming.

I felt the need to see if I could post a blog entry from TextMate.

Lying down and relaxing my heart rate gets down to 55 and sitting around watching TV (and blogging) I just found out it hovers around 58-59, just shy of 60. So I went ahead and cross off yet another goal on the list (see the pages on the right).

If you use subversion do yourself a favor and go set up auto-props now to set svn:eol-style=native on text files. Here, I’ll even give you the link to the subversion book chapter on Automatic Property Setting. And even better yet, heres the list of file patterns I have, just to get you started.
*.c = svn:eol-style=native
*.cpp = svn:eol-style=native
*.h = svn:eol-style=native
*.txt = svn:eol-style=native
*.png = svn:mime-type=image/png
*.jpg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
Makefile = svn:eol-style=native
*.sql = svn:eol-style=native
*.xml = svn:eol-style=native
*.java = svn:eol-style=native
*.properties = svn:eol-style=native
*.sdl = svn:eol-style=native
*.wdl = svn:eol-style=native
*.jsp = svn:eol-style=native
*.html = svn:eol-style=native
*.css = svn:eol-style=native
*.js = svn:eol-style=native
*.sh = svn:eol-style=native;svn:executable
*.pl = svn:eol-style=native
*.rb = svn:eol-style=native
*.yml = svn:eol-style=native
*.rhtml = svn:eol-style=native
*.rxml = svn:eol-style=native
*.rjs = svn:eol-style=native
*.cgi = svn:eol-style=native
*.fcgi = svn:eol-style=native
*.rake = svn:eol-style=native
Rakefile = svn:eol-style=native
*.php = svn:eol-style=native
There, now that you’ve done it, let me tell you why. What you don’t want is a project to go on for years while you’re too lazy to set all the svn:eol-style properties yourself. All the while thinking it’s not a big deal and figuring that when the issue comes up someone will tell you, or be smart enough to set things up properly themselves.
Wrong.
What really happens is that one day someone will start editing your code on Windows and they will shit all over the code base with inconsisitent EOL characters. Now, I couldn’t care less if one file is different from another, but I do care when someone changes every line in the file (WTF, you didn’t notice before you comitted?) or worse, yet… use some editor that’s so assinine that it will insert CRLF only for the lines it changes. I do believe that last one is the exact definition of the completely wrong thing to do.
Signed, your friendly neighborhood schmuck who spend entirely too much time fixing 2,000 files and setting svn:eol-style on 7,000 files. Don’t be like me, don’t be lazy.

I feel special that I have a Google Analytics account and I just got an invite to Google Spreadsheet. This makes me an ubernerd.

I switched back to the old theme, since I’ve put the grand unification of my website look and feel on hold. I’ll get around to it, but my plan to use Sandvox has been scuttled. Turns out to be a little trickier than I had hoped.
Plus I realized that the google analytics bits were in the old theme and I wasn’t getting data. Whoops.
