Dubstep, duuuubstep

Monday, October 27th, 2008 | Anything | No Comments

It’s taken a while to latch on, but I’ve begun to really like dubstep, from the more chilled out aspects of it to the dark and dirty, it’s all good. Next Void night is on the 7th, can’t wait to groove!

Google Chrome - New Version!

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 | Anything | No Comments

After having played with Google Chrome the past month and a bit (and absolutely loving it!) there are some little quirks that mean i can’t quite yet make it my default browser. For example:

  • It has issues with secure websites (sometimes they don’t even load)
  • It seems a little anal when it comes to security
  • I’ve had some bizarre render issues with bank admins (for transferring cash.etc.)
  • Bookmarks! Apart from adding to your bar (which is a rather convoluted process)
These seem to be rather minor issues, apart from Bookmarks. Chrome really needs some more functionality here. Other than that, the browser is absolutely beautiful and I am EAGERLY awaiting the new version!

Capistrano Callbacks

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008 | Code | 4 Comments

After a short period of time realizing that I need to do some custom calls via my capistrano deployment, and with thanks to Alex Ooi’s help, was able to add a callback task, like so:

namespace :deploy do
# Create custom mount
task :mount do
run "ln -s target directory"
end
end

In order to have this run, earlier in your deploy.rb script, simply add:

after :deploy, "deploy:mount"

Done!

Return of the Mac

Sunday, September 14th, 2008 | Anything | No Comments

Bought myself a Macbook Pro over the weekend, and what an awesome piece of computing possibilities it is. Played around with it the whole weekend pretty much and got my development environment going. Now I just need to set it up for PHP as well and I’ll be all set (It’s currently enabled for Ruby/Rails). Sitting in front of the TV is now actually interesting.

Love Endless

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008 | Poetry | No Comments

Thinking of you comes so easily
It’s strange to think that it comes so purely
Love flowing through me as though I were a river
Feeling into the emotion ensures a subtle quiver

Holding you in my arms, your eyes playfully sparkle
The universe unveils it’s magic, the result is remarkable
Existence just stands by as time stops on a dial
And all creation marvels at the beauty of your smile.
