Quicksilver plugin for iusethis.com

By marcus Filed in Article Tagged with , , , May 15th, 2009 @ 13:11

Quicksilver is one tool I can’t live without. When I use a Mac without it, I feel handicapped. I’ve been doing some iPhone development lately, and I am feel comfortable with Objective-C. Yesterday I decided to write a Quicksilver plugin. This tutorial series made it easy. I have made a video using Snapz Pro to show how it works:

You can download it right now and try it out. Like other utilities we make for iusethis, it’s free and open source (Artistic/GPL dual licensed). Check out the source from Github.

Even Enterprise thinks enterprise sucks

Early in my career I worked for a large telco at. The term “Enterprise Software” still gives me me chills down the spine. Likewise terms like WS-* and SOA, which for me represents huge amounts of bloat and hatefulness.

Working with Enterprise Software feels a bit like walking through an industrial landfill or an airport hangar. Nothing is built to human scale.

Gitorious now powered by norwegian company

By marcus Filed in Links Tagged with , , May 12th, 2009 @ 22:11

Even though we’re currently using github for all our git hosting needs, we do like the open source alternative gitorious. It makes us happy that it’s now officially supported by some of our favorite rubyists from Oslo.

Gitorious now is a project maintained by Shortcut AS, which I co-founded. Shortcut AS now officially supports and develops Gitorious in cooperation with contributors outside Shortcut. Gitorious is, and will continue to be, 100% free software, licensed under the Affero GPL.

With my open source hat on, I am looking forward getting Catalyst moved over to Git in the near future. Hopefully we can get a nice gitorious setup for both Moose and Catalyst.

MooseX multi method dispatch is second to none.

You might have an awesome OO system if:
you are able to implement Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock using nothing but multi methods (via nothingmuch).

Interesting population numbers

Must read article that clears up some common myths about population growth and third world countries.

Perhaps the most striking fact about the demographic transformation now unfolding is that it is going to make the world look a lot more like Europe. The world is aging in an unprecedented way. A milepost in this process came in 1998, when for the first time the number of people in the developed world over the age of 60 outnumbered those below the age of 15. By 2047, the world as a whole will reach the same point.
