Evan showed the world his “weak Ruby script” to find-and-replace in multiple files, and was pointed to the amazing rpl utility. Let’s see what the port maintainer has written about the rpl tool. $ port info rpl rpl 1.4.0, textproc/rpl (Variants: universal) http://www.laffeycomputer.com/rpl.html rpl is a Unix text replacement utility.

IoPython, raw but cool
I nosed around in Io’s “addons” folder, which you also can pull from the Git repository, see the Io homepage. Update: of course, this was reported when it was fresh, with nice examples, too: pinupgeek’s blog is full of Io goodness. (Thanks, trevor!) While nosing, I met the Python module, which lets you run Python …
Patch day for Rails, in Copenhagen
The inimitable Jakob tells all about the upcoming Rails patch night, so I won’t say more than “it is a great way of getting into Rails” (Rails, the Open Source project; and Rails, the codebase). (I won’t be there, I have a family thing to travel to, but please fill my seat, you.) Hm, I …
List outdated port names with awk
MacPorts. Sometimes your ports are outdated. There’s a pseudo-portname for them. The report has many columns. And I only want the names, not their versions. port list outdated | awk ‘BEGIN { RS=”\n” } { print $1 }’ > names_of_old_ports.txt Done. Update: got a bug, fixed it. Sheesh. [tags]awk,unix[/tags]
Look, Ma! (linked Io glimpse)
The Io blog points to a ramshackle example Io thing authored by me and quag. If you’ve heard about Io, and wonder what it looks like, this is a… very small example. (I didn’t know they’d gone and published it, and it turned up in my newsreader. Now I have to improve it. Gosh, the …
Copenhagen.rb meetup: Puppet and fringe activity
Juri presented the amazing Puppet framework for controlling servers. He controls about 20 servers with it. Think of Puppet’s files as “setup Rakefiles for servers” which is version-controlled, monitored, and written in a very terse DSL. Seems slick. Juri might publish his nice slides, who knows. While he was presenting, me and Lars SG were …

RuPy 2007, European hacker meetup
Dear hackers: %w(Ruby Python).each {|lang| lang.discuss } Thanks for a great weekend. “I’ll see you on the Internets” has never rung more true than when I and Tomek and Krzysztof hurried out to a waiting taxi (driven by a talkative bard-type, who talked “about nothing” with many words). Now: go empty your camera, upload them …
Going to RuPy? Here is the IRC channel
Upcoming conference in Poznan: RuPy. There was no IRC channel mentioned on the website, so I took the liberty to start preaching about one! On irc.freenode.net — #rupy Add that to you autojoin, mate. [tags]rupy,conference[/tags]
Fastavaled-out
Oh, that roleplaying game convention is just amazing. Even though I underscheduled this year, to have more time to meet with people, I had things to be done all the time, it seemed. Schmoozed with amazing folks. All the folks were wonderful, but Claus J (and his media student friend), and Frederik J (who works …
Toward new futures!
Fijord Originally uploaded by oc girl. Polar Rose made a change in direction, and dissolved their Ruby on Rails team, of which I was a member. So, for all you heads out there, I am available for work. And, my current focus is JavaScript. And more of everything, as usual. (The guys at P.R. have …
