I’m mostly just bookmarking this here for future reference. Expect to see some neat Android apps from me someday in the future.

Tea Timer Application

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 00:23:00 -0400

So, yesterday I go to make a delicious cup of Silver Needle White Tea. I go have a look-see at Reddit while I wait for my tea to steep, click a few links, and BAM! Five or so minutes go by and when I check my tea, it’s slightly bitter. DAMNIT

However, I’m a man of action, so I decided to take things into my own hands and make a timer app. Then I went overboard and now I have this awesome tea timer application. Check it out, if it’s your sort of thing.

Fat: Is it sad i'm enjoying this?
Mason-O: No, but I hate you
Mason-O: Because it took like... 5 months for you to finally do it
Fat: Well, yeah
Fat: but now I want Tea.
Fat: and Pizza
Mason-O: Caffeine and junk food is a programmer's lifeblood.
Mason-O: This is normal.

“.NET/WPF for Windows, Cocoa for Mac OS X, Gtk+ for GNOME, etc. Using anything but modern GUI frameworks is insulting to the developer, and using anything but native GUI frameworks is insulting to the user.”

“1983 - Bjarne Stroustrup bolts everything he’s ever heard of onto C to create C++. The resulting language is so complex that programs must be sent to the future to be compiled by the Skynet artificial intelligence. Build times suffer. Skynet’s motives for performing the service remain unclear but spokespeople from the future say “there is nothing to be concerned about, baby,” in an Austrian accented monotones. There is some speculation that Skynet is nothing more than a pretentious buffer overrun.”

Playing with C# is just so fun. Here’s what I spent the last 2 hours doing.

Getting Some Work Done?

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:55:00 -0500

You may have noticed that I don’t post on here a lot. I have a bit of an ‘Internet addiction’ problem, where I tend to get on to “check Facebook real quick” and then look at a clock to see that 3 hours have passed. So, I decided that I could make a little program to automate editing my hosts file whenever I feel like getting some work done.

So, today I put the finishing touches on a program I call ‘Get Some Work Done!’. Maybe now I’ll be able to move onto building something cooler.

New monospaced font on CTAN: Inconsolata

New monospaced font on CTAN: Inconsolata:

lloyda2:

Since I’m back at college and LaTeX-ing things again, I was very excited to find this.

Inconsolata is easily the most beautiful monospaced font I’ve ever seen, and it might be my favorite font, period. (Coincidentally, I’ve just designed a theme using it.)

Naturally, I find these sort of things just days after I’ve changed my IDE to use Consolas. It may be time to change yet again.

“A pig and a chicken are walking down a road. The chicken looks at the pig and says, “Hey, why don’t we open a restaurant?” The pig looks back at the chicken and says, “Good idea, what do you want to call it?” The chicken thinks about it and says, “Why don’t we call it ‘Ham and Eggs’?” “I don’t think so,” says the pig, “I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.””

I decided to make a blog to show off projects I’m working on, as well as share my thoughts about various programming-related things. Hopefully this blog will give me the motivation to make more use of my spare time.
