https://blog.mtmxr.com/2015/08/06/review-of-thinkpenguin-wireless-n-router
A blog about free software and thoughts. Review of ThinkPenguin Wireless N Router. This is a review of the ThinkPenguin Wireless N Router. That I recently purchased for my home network. This router is sold by ThinkPenguin. A small maker of computers and equipment all factory-installed with free software, and is certified to respect my freedom. So why not give it a try? The router runs LibreCMC. Which is a GNU/Linux distribution designed to be run on routers and other similar systems. Using the web ma...

So Long Octopress, Hello Wintersmith - The Endless Obsession
http://endlessobsession.com/blog/so-long-octopress-hello-wintersmith
So Long Octopress, Hello Wintersmith. Apr 18th, 2015. Has been a popular hacker’s blog for quite a while, and so I made the switch a few years ago in order to escape the clutches of Wordpress. Now I have a hack-able blog that also costs me nothing to host. Unfortunately, Octopress isn’t a good long-term fit. At the end of the day the deal-breaker for me is the fact that it runs on ruby. Sure, I could have run Linux on a separate partition, or on a VM. Spend my time on it if I don’t have to? From what I c...

Relix 2.0.0 - Overactive Vocabulary
http://nathaniel.talbott.ws/blog/2013/03/19/relix-2-0-0
When In Doubt, Ameliorate. Relix 2.0.0. Relix is a Ruby library that makes it easy to build and use various types of secondary indexes backed by Redis. We use it heavily at Spreedly. To give us fast access to our Riak-backed. Models (we didn’t use Riak’s secondary indexing since it didn’t exist when we started building Spreedly Core). Relix’s README is full of details on it’s philosophy and usage. And I’ll be doing a post eventually about why and how we use it at Spreedly. Relix 2.0.0. I code. I have...

Birthday Resolutions - Review - Disassembling Mike
https://blog.mtmxr.com/2015/05/20/birthday-resolutions-review
A blog about free software and thoughts. Birthday Resolutions - Review. First, because this was a particularly notable birthday I had decided to hold myself to 10 resolutions. So this was almost doomed to failure from the beginning, if success means hitting all 10, which I didn’t. If I want to do this again next year, I should definitely go with a smaller set of goals to better set myself up for success. Obvious. Anyone else tried this? Posted by Mike Miller.

Test-driven Backbone.js - Part One - Being Agile
http://blog.thepete.net/blog/2013/01/23/test-driven-backbone-dot-js-part-one
Test-driven Backbone.js - Part One. In this series of posts I’m going to walk through some practical details on how we can develop Backbone.js applications in a test-driven manner. Developing this way leads to better structured applications, as we’ll discover. We’ll be using Jasmine as our test runner and we’ll be using sinon.js to create test doubles (mocks and stubs). We’ll also use a few other small utilities and plugins as we go. Part one - test driven models. To be a backbone model. I’m be...As a st...

Using Travis CI and xctool to build and test iOS apps - Being Agile
http://blog.thepete.net/blog/2013/05/07/using-travis-ci-and-xctool-to-build-and-test-ios
Using Travis CI and Xctool to Build and Test iOS Apps. Is a cloud-based Continuous Integration service which is free to use (but only on. Github projects). They recently. Support for OS X agents, which means you can now use Travis to build and test iOS applications. In this post I’ll show how I set up basic CI for an example iOS app using Travis, with the help of xctool. To see a working example of the sort of thing we’ll be setting up, take a look at the github repo. And the corresponding Travis page.
