Native OS X gitk clone
Github is currently featuring an awesome native OS X gitk clone. The application matches most of the feature set of gitk as far as I can see, and it also loads up the repositories quite a bit faster.
I'll definitely be using this instead of gitk from now on. You can download the latest stable relea…

Javascript debugging in Internet Explorer
We're just coming up to finishing a two week iteration of mostly browser compatibility fixes on Viviti, mostly for Internet Explorer. I've poked around quite a bit trying to find anything that even comes close to the glory that is Firebug for Internet Explorer, but I've come up empty handed for th…

$ sudo touch /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo /etc/…
Ruby standard out piping problems on Ubuntu
I've been having problems where the output of binaries was not being redirected properly from within Ruby when invoked as followed:
>> `ls -l &> /dev/null` => "total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 dinsley dinsley 4096 2007-05-08 20:00 Peepcode - Rest"
If the shell supports this piping convention, it should ret…
TinyMCE syntax highlighted code editor
We're currently using the super-improved TinyMCE version 3.0rc1, which apparently has gone through an entire rewrite for the 3.0 release. Aside from making TinyMCE incredibly faster and more efficient, they also implemented an awesome API for easily creating plugins. I decided to test the new API ou…
