SSHing into a dynamically changing IP
I made a poster for my desktop so I don’t have to check what my ip address is whenever I go out.
The script is so simple:
wget icanhazip.com
scp index.html server:posting_destination
rm index.html
Then I run this with a cronjob set to once a day.
Obviously it depends on icanhazip.com not dying any time soon, but I can just change it to another one.
The challenge here was that I post...

The next step
Some things about yourself are obvious to everybody except yourself, unfortunately. Sometimes it takes a jolt. So this is what I think it is: this abstract concept of “feeling the music”. Not just listening to it and knowing it, but really embodying it. It’s not as much a technical thing as an emotional thing. It’s like…a confidence, or a state of mind. A willingness....

Multimonitor redshift
So something I’ve been taking very seriously lately is sleep hygiene. Part of that involves changing small parts of my life that affect sleep quality, and doing research into all the different things that do this.
I found F.lux recently and it’s been awesome. It adjusts the “warmth” of your monitor so that light from your monitor won’t have an adverse affect on your...

Hackathon Product
Check it out : )
https://github.com/oliversong/text-automator
I solo’d this hackathon, so I didn’t really expect to win as much as find out a benchmark for how far I’d gotten in terms of being a developer. Turns out I can actually make a working product, so that’s a step.
Also, NO DESIGN IN THIS ONE! I can officially hold my ground as not-a-front-end-guy. The...

IAP
What have I learned this IAP?
-got comfortable with vim
-became very familiar with bash scripting

Overall, not bad.
Up next: a node.js / googlevoice project for the upcoming hackathon.
Also I should make a video of a freestyle, just to commemorate the half-year mark for my...

Text processing
I finished my IAP side job!
I learned a shit ton from this actually, including in depth bash scripting and regexes with python and bash.
Regex is so powerful O_O I am so motivated to use regex for everything now. I need to start a religion.
Try the youtube game
It’s like the wikipedia game. Go from one video to a target video just by clicking the suggested videos in the right.
I actually got from “Mortal Kombat Flashmob” to “kite vs iron mike Urban Dance Showcase” in like 15 clicks. @__@ It was crazy.
Mortal kombat flashmob -> party rock choreo -> shuffling choreo -> whaacking choreo -> whaacking battle ->...

GNU screen- an awesome tool
Just type in screen and you enter the program.
From there…
To split vertically: ctrla then |.
To split horizontally: ctrla then S (uppercase one).
To unsplit: ctrla then Q (uppercase one).
To switch from one to the other: ctrla then tab
EDIT, basic screen usage:
New terminal: ctrla then c.
Next terminal: ctrla then space.
Previous terminal: ctrla then backspace.
N’th...

All the cool shit from CES
These are glass panel speakers. 0_0
earphones that adjust to the shape of your ear
The idea is that you take a picture and you adjust the focus/lighting afterwards. This is for sure one of the inventions of the year.
sweet pen mouse thing
these are speakers!
intel decided to plaster their display with ultrabooks. This is the future I guess.
Touch screen that senses proximity!

L4: Learning C, Servers, Low level socket...
Knocking off the languages one by one. Only significant one left is Java, I think. And Perl I guess.
I’m learning from the venerable K&H second edition, so…guess I’m on the right track. I’ll just put some notes here:
C needs the path to be able to run its program. a.out doesn’t work but ./a.out does
You have to declare variables, pfft
Actually takes a long...
New Year's resolutions

This article is amazing. I can relate to the designer’s issues really well, but seeing the other side of the conversation is eye-opening. It’s so interesting to see how they go about conflict-resolution/aggression/standard-setting. The approach of hiring multiple designers at once to design a...
