Hub of downtown S.F. shifting to Mission Street

Interesting to imagine the focus of downtown SF being Mission St. I have no idea where all the money for this could come from, but securing money out of thin air seems to be a national pastime at this point, so who knows.

Automatic merging and versioning of CSS/JS files with PHP

This is total WIN. If you find yourself having to work in PHP, and you write heavy, application framework-enhanced Javascript, as I do frequently, Ed Eliot’s script for merging, versioning and cacheing JS and CSS is totally awesome.

Combine Ed’s script with Martin Kliehm’s modified version of Ed’s combineJS.php script and you have geek *bliss* (well…. you *are* still working with PHP, but whatever, you know what I mean. Oh how I miss you Python/Django.).

Ed has written an updated version of his script that integrates JS min for smallest-possible JS files, however it requires that you compile a C script on your server. Martin’s modified version will run on pure PHP, which is great when you’re dealing with a host that limits a competent developer’s ability to do such things.

One of my clients’ site is hosted on Yahoo Small Business, which totally sucks and is extremely limiting on a modern developer, but this combo worked like a charm, even on Yahoo hosting. (Yahoo, listen up and get with the program. It’s 2009, going on 2010, and we simply need more. At least get us some SSH access man, I mean come on.)

Oh this is real helpful. Oba Mao… great, man. Just throw a can of gasoline on the fire.

TuneConnect 2

I run a media server on a mac mini that sends music and other stuff throughout the house. Previously I used VNC to get in there and control it, but this thing is definitely better for the specific purpose of controlling an iTunes on another machine in your network. VNC is great and all but UI-wise it’s slow and choppy. There’s even key-strokes and such that work even if the app isn’t in focus, so you can just minimize and mostly forget it while you’re busy hacking away on other stuff.

I’m also aware of Remote for iPhone but that still requires opening up the phone each time you want to change a track, which is less ideal when you’re sitting at your computer working.

Haters of iTunes and other “i” applications may remain silent at this time. Consider my hand pre-raised in your face. Ed Colmar I’m looking at you.

Build your own laminated scrap wood table

Really, really want to do this! I think finding a building partner and making two, so each walks away with something, would probably be a better idea though. Taking this on solo would be a huge challenge.

MacHeist nanoBundle

If you’re on Mac, MacHeist’s new software bundle is completely free for 3 more days. It comes with 6 cool little indie apps that normally cost between $15 - $50 each, at least one of which (TinyGrab) I could not live without. In fact, I created this screenshot with TinyGrab. In one keystroke, it takes a screenshot, uploads it to a server, and pastes the URL into your clipboard. The entire process usually takes about all of 2 seconds. It’s become essential to my workflow.

A final app, Mariner Write, which is a Mac-centric replacement for MS Word, gets unlocked if and when they get to 500k participants at the end of the 3 days remaining. So far they’re at ~ 232k after 2 days.

If you’re on a Mac, please go grab it!
