So I was buying our garden seeds at Territorial Seed and they had a stupid 90’s “no right click” script installed. Lame, I need my tabs!
So I took a look and then wrote my first Greasemonkey script. Check it out if you need it, it should work on other sites that try the same trick.
territorial.seed.no.right.click.user.js

I’ve been struck recently about how different my quality of life is when I am consuming versus creating.
When I am creating (writing, coding, cooking, etc.) I feel vibrant and alive. When I am consuming (watching T.V., reading inane articles on the web, playing video games, etc.) I feel slow and dull. The exceptions being group consumption (video games with friends) and books (reading good, engaging content).
As a reminder to myself and perhaps to others I created http://www.consumelesscreatemore.com/. It’s just quotes, presented in a more or less “pretty” way. You can grab the source on github and add your own quotes, I’ll be happy to take your act of creation and integrate it to the site.
The core point is: an act of creation, however small (a two page website for instance) is better than any amount of consumption.
Consume Less. Create More.
Posted February 16th, 2010 - PermalinkSo I logged onto my twitter account this morning to find a message from @changelogshow telling me they had written an article about my fork of Storytlr.
That’s was pretty cool on it’s own, until I realized that The Changelog is the source of featured repo’s on Explore GitHub.
Awesome! I love github. There is so much amazing software on there, and I was lucky enough to have my repo featured!
I didn’t even develop the software, it’s a fork of the Storytlr core written by @eschnou & @alardw (and a fine piece of software at that). I just wrote some plugins and fixed the stuff that was broken for me.
Even so, it felt great to be on there! This is one of the first times anyone has ever made it clear that what I was doing in the open source world was seen and dare I say it appreciated. Unspeakably cool.
Posted February 12th, 2010 - PermalinkSo I learned something cool today, Psalm’s 14 and 53 are almost identical (in NIV anyway).
As a service to the community, I created a patch, just in case you have Psalm 14 already, why download all of Psalm 53?
Enjoy!
