The first week of 2007 brings with it two books we need to read in order to make the year more sustainable. We plan to plough through Gina Trapani's Lifehacker [ISBN 0470050659] since we're following many of the book's tips already.
Then it's off to absorb "World Changing", a tome edited b y Alex Steffen [ISBN 9780810930957]. If you enjoyed "An Inconvenient Truth" you need to inform your judgment by reading parts of this book.
Saw this 5 minute ice cream recipe the other day and I just had to try it.
It came out awesome! I used blueberries for this one, but I also tried it with raspberries and it was just as delicious.
This morning I tried the oatmeal-in-a-jar trick tipped to me recently by my
bike commuting and camping pal, Daniel.
It's simple, fill a Mason jar half with oatmeal and toppings, which for me
meant a little sugary stuff, some cinammon, and raisins. You can do that
part anytime... you know, like the night before, or as you're packing your
panniers. At breakfast time, you simply fill the jar with booking water,
shake and steep for 15 minutes.
It worked like a charm. This will get a shakedown run in October when we
take a family camping weekend, and will definitely be added to the arsenal
of S24O / Bike Overnight breakfast options.

This month's desktop comes on the heels of lifehacker's "show us your" desktop mac edition. I caved and added apps that are just for looks including clearDock and menufela. I'm growling the iTunes current track conditionally on a hotkey, calling up a common Quicksilver action and mousing over my dock because otherwise it would be really plain.

I tried the Picasa-hack with this old picture, but that didn't work :(
Anyways, I decided to upload that picture. Techno artist SpeedyJ on sms :)
2012 Facebook NYC Summer of Hack
We hollowed out a book, and shoved facebook into it in 24 straight hours of caffeine fueled awesomeness.

ever worked with a developer who's let's just say religious about xp/agile process? if you did, you'll understand why i found this job title funny.
It's not as though slouching will give you a hunchback in a day, but "if you do this day after day, and your muscles are not strong, the whole skeleton changes," Dr. Golubic says.
But we do know that when you slouch, you project an attitude of depression and low motivation." When you sit up straight, he adds, "psychologically, your attitude is better." - bit.ly/13tHa5j
After trying every to do list app/process/method imaginable, in January of 2017 I finally found one that worked for me: todo.txt. I’ve been using it every single day since then and it has really helped me stay on top of what I need to get done. It’s geeky and great.
It’s just a single text file with a list of items. It works great for me! todotxt.org/ was developed by Gina Trapani, who also happens to be the person (or one of the people) responsible for Lifehacker. She does great stuff!!
Here’s a demo video of using todo.txt:
I keep my todo.txt file in Dropbox and edit it using many different tools: vim on unix, SwiftToDo on iOS, TextWrangler on Mac, and so on. I also use Gina’s todo.sh suite of bash scripts to manipulate my file in different ways, and I make extensive use of add-ons like due (show what items are due today or overdue), xp (show items completed during the last X number of days), and projectview (show items organized by projects). github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli/wiki/Todo.sh-Add-on-Direc....
The flexibility of the todo.txt system allows me to stay focused on the goal: get stuff done. Because I spend a large portion of my day in the command line, it’s easy to add items, complete items, and edit my list quickly. It’s also easy to write scripts to do other things to and with my todo.txt file.
A while back I wrote a suite of scripts that I call “today.txt,” which combines items from todo.txt with items from my calendar to create a day planner. Each day has a file called today.txt which includes items that are due, my agenda for the day, and upcoming events. Every night, this file is archived in my journal and a new one is created for the next day. This really helps me stay organized. At some point I’ll share my today.txt suite… but not today.
Due to all the various scripts that edit my todo.txt file, sometimes I somehow get duplicate lines. This can clog up my view of what needs to get done. To solve this, I wrote a todo.sh add-on called “clean” that removes duplicate lines. The script also re-orders the lines alphabetically, which works great with todo.txt’s syntax. I’ll surely add more bells and whistles, but for now it does exactly what I need it to do. I sure do love bash scripting.
To install the script, simply put the “clean” file in you todo.sh add-ons directory (usually todo.sh/.todo.addons.d).
It’s extremely simple:
#!/bin/bash
# CB's second todo.txt add-on
# clean up the todo file
# purpose: clean up the todo.txt file. remove duplicate lines
# usage:
# todo.sh clean
echo ">>>>>>> cb's todo.txt cleaner <<<<<<<<<"
TODO='/home/chris/Dropbox/Apps/cbtodo/todo.txt'
TMP='/home/chris/Dropbox/Apps/cbtodo/tmp.txt'
echo "cleaning $TODO"
# sort the todo file, then
# show only unique lines, then
# write the output of that file to a temp file
sort $TODO | uniq -u > $TMP
# then move that tmp file to the main todo file
mv $TMP $TODO
echo "done!"
