Spurred by my need to upload a bunch of notes from the now-defunct Stikkit to my account on Helipad, I wrote a Ruby wrapper for Helipad’s XML-over-HTTP API. The interface takes care of all the XML magic, letting you concentrate on the fun stuff: playing with your documents on Helipad.
hp = Helipad.new("lonnon@example.com",

Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
Turn to page 56.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post that sentence along with these instructions on your LJ.
Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the closest.
Armadillos: This witty description of the armadillo was produced by the descit environment.

I encountered a weird web problem today when adding images to the company website. The new images I’d added wouldn’t appear on their page, and when pointing the browser directly at them, I received a 403 Forbidden error.
After insuring that the permissions and filenames were all correct, I sat down with the sysadmin to see [...]

I jailbroke my iPhone 3G as soon as the iPhone Dev Team had posted their tool to do so, and ever since, I’ve been screwing about with the command line. There’s something deeply appealing to my inner nerd about having Unix on my phone, and recreational command line hacking is more fun for me than [...]
WordPress for iPhone is finally out, which gives me the opportunity to post random stuff from wherever I’m standing, assuming I’m standing within range of AT&T’s wireless system.
This is the kind of thing I’ve wanted for years, and though there have been ways to do this for some time now, they’ve all been too clunky, [...]

That’s the [...]
I’ve been slowly warming to LiveJournal, not because I love its interface or features, but because I have a number of friends over there I keep tabs on. I post infrequently enough to this blog, and coming up with more posts to put in a LJ seems far-fetched, at best.
