LJProxy: From friend-locked LiveJournal posts to Google Reader

November 30, 2009

I have been on Live­Jour­nal since 2001.  I have had a Per­ma­nent Account since 2005.  Many of my friends have used it for sim­i­lar amounts of time.  In the past few years, I have migrated my post­ing and read­ing off of Live­Jour­nal.  I do most of my blog read­ing through Google Reader, but still have […]

Snazzy-Archives, Filtered

Note that this post is a dupli­cate of the Snazzy-Archives, Fil­tered project page, here at Net­ninja, and copied into the blog.  It has been inserted here to make it part of the blog time­line, RSS, and what­not so that it gets noticed.  Com­ments are dis­abled on this post but enabled on the project page, so […]

Shortening with YOURLS and Tweetie 2 for iPhone

October 22, 2009

A few months back, around the pos­si­ble demise of the tr.im URL short­en­ing ser­vice, there was a sud­den rise in pop­u­lar­ity with run­ning your own URL short­ener on your own bou­tique URL.  That was when I set up Ninja Me (nja.me) using YOURLS.  At the time, I reverse-engineered the undoc­u­mented API enough to hack Twitter-Tools […]

Monkey Fists

October 11, 2009

I picked up a few dif­fer­ent col­ors of para­cord, as well as some buck­les, last week at REI.  My hope is to make a para­cord bracelet, except I got dis­tracted along the way by a more chal­leng­ing project.  You see, the week before the REI trip, I picked up a cat toy that is essentially […]

ARGfest

July 13, 2008

ARGfest (and the accom­pa­ny­ing Dark Knight screen­ing) is about a week away.  I’d really like to be with the rest of you in Boston, but with the new house and bud­gets being what they are, Kim and I need to be up in Seat­tle at a bel­ly­dance event, not tak­ing a sec­ond vaca­tion.  (As you […]

Ketchup Post

March 2, 2008

I have been doing some house­clean­ing on the lap­top and came up with some pho­tos and videos that were not pre­vi­ously posted.
The Chronu­la­tor
The Chronu­la­tor is a great lit­tle clock kit.  It’s a dig­i­tal ana­log clock–using dig­i­tal tech­nol­ogy to dis­play the time on ana­log meters.  Appar­ently the guy who makes the kits is here in Portland.  […]

Hipster PDA TODO Envelopes

June 14, 2007

Some­thing I for­got to post a week or two ago: some Hip­ster PDA “hang­ing envelopes” that I made for work and released as a PDF.  Basi­cally, it is a thin enve­lope that you can stick to the wall (with some­thing low-profile like tape or poster putty–thumbtacks may not work.) They’re great for TODO lists […]

Delicious Library XSL

April 30, 2007

Some recent dis­cus­sions of Deli­cious Library and Library­Thing on Rich’s blog, got me think­ing about a project I started just over a year ago.  It did not progress very far, and I do not think I worked on it much (if at all) since, but I fig­ured I should at least share what I have […]

Hipster Sudoku

March 26, 2007

Last time, I talked about print­ing or stamps, but I caved in and sim­ply made a smaller Sudoku grid.  The pre­vi­ous grid was 2.75″ (on a 3″ wide card.) This new one is 2.5″ and should fall within the mar­gin of error of con­sumer double-sided printing.

wcap software release

March 7, 2007

“wcap is a packet snif­fer that dis­plays URLs. It is is an appli­ca­tion that puts your eth­er­net inter­face in promis­cu­ous mode and lis­tens for web requests, dis­play­ing a nicely for­mat­ted list of URLs that have been requested. The infor­ma­tion it obtains is not mag­i­cal and is the same sort of stuff you can get from […]

New Hipster PDA Shopping Template

February 11, 2007

I revis­ited my Hip­ster PDA shop­ping tem­plate.  The items have been grouped by cat­e­gory (i.e. sec­tion of the store) and for­mat­ting has changed in slight ways.  The new tem­plate is called shopping2.  Just like I said with the orig­i­nal shop­ping tem­plate, it is my own per­sonal set of generally-weekly sta­ples and may or may not […]

Hipster PDA Revisited

February 7, 2007

After about a month of using a Hip­ster PDA, I have to say that parts of it are work­ing extremely well and other parts aren’t.
To-Do List
This works sur­pris­ingly well, and I have a lit­tle bit of a the­ory about this.  With the to-do list in my orga­nizer or on the com­puter, I always have to […]
