A ramble about my teenagerhood, followed by a guided tour of how to mass-download entries from LiveJournal.
Guard is a cool ruby library for automatically performing tasks every time a file changes. But if you’re not sure what to expect, it can be hard to set up. Here’s the quickest possible setup for Guard.
Use case
In this case, I’m making a quick website prototype in haml. I want to make sure that, whenever I modify one of my haml files, ruby immediately produces the equivalent html file for me in the same directory.
Rubyfocus is a pure ruby bridge to OmniFocus. It’s something I’ve been working on for a while, and I’m finally able to release a version that, at the very least, functions without crashing (as far as I can tell) anywhere along the way.
Rubyfocus started as a natural offshoot of a previous project, JROFBridge. JROFBridge is an objective-C/Cocoa library that accesses OmniFocus through ScriptingBridge, collects data on projects, tasks and folders, and outputs it to an SQLite database. It’s a handy way of collecting everything you need to know about an OmniFocus document, working through OmniFocus itself. I used it for a web-based Kanban frontend to OmniFocus, which let me view all my projects (and my current workload) at a glance.
