Git TextMate bundle
I’ve finally gotten the Git TextMate bundle to work. It’s really cool.
And the first thing I’ve done is made a git repository for it and added a new command - ‘Add All’. Often I’m working on a branch and want to bulk add a load of files. With the bundle as downloaded, you either have to use the commit dialog (which I found slightly ropey) or go to the command line. I’ve patched the version that’s in the SVN so that you can have an Add All command - git-tmbundle-add-all.diff is my git-diff for it.
TextMate and Git are like chocolate and strawberry - great-tasting flavours that are even better together.
Also, Dr. Nic’s post was what inspired me to finally get my Git and TextMate house in order. In the post, it also talks about Github which looks amazingly cool. I want a key badly but suspect I probably need to be an elite Rails nerd to get one.
Flickr users are making their voices heard about the Microsoft-Yahoo! takeover bid. If Microsoft did buy Yahoo, I don’t know what I would do with my photos on Flickr. Ideally, I’d like to have a distributed version of Flickr that I could run on my own site that implements the same kind of meta-data structure and community aspects that Flickr does but using OpenID, OAuth etc. I think a few more post-Web 2.0 shakedowns of this kind will force us all into maintaining our own data on our own servers and using open source tools to free ourselves from the possibility that someone evil could come along and buy up the companies that we trust with our data.
Josh Rosenau has a writeup on the prospects for the Science Debate now that the NAS is supporting the idea.
Another event I’ve been meaning to pimp is Aral Balkan’s Singularity08, an online conference about the Web. Looks cool.
Ian has been trying out Quicksilver equivalents on GNOME. I must get my Linux box kicking again soon.
