Why didn’t I respond to your pull request?
I have some fairly popular open source packages up on GitHub. Happily, I get people submitting pull requests, adding features or fixing bugs. It’s great when this happens, because people are doing work that I don’t want to do / haven’t gotten to yet / didn’t think of. …but I’m pretty bad at responding to […]
Sublime Text packages: working in 2 and 3
I maintain the Git package for Sublime Text. It’s popular, which is kind of fun and also occasionally stressful. I recently did a major refactor of it, and want to share a few tips. I needed to refactor it because, back when the Sublime Text 3 beta came out, I had made a branch of […]

I mentioned that I hadn’t been updating this blog, and that wasn’t just a matter of there being nothing to talk about. Back in July I got laid off by DeviantArt. Since that was their second layoffs round of 2015, I think it’s fair to say that they’re having some problems. This was non-ideal for […]

Comments were stored using Disqus. As […]
WordPress Again
I haven’t been updating this site very often. Upon reflection, I decided that this is in part because the Jekyll workflow that I switched to was… inconvenient. It would be possible to hack around this. I could have written some sort of simple web-app which generated a new post, committed it to git, pushed it […]
Migrating an existing Apple ID to “child” status
Last year Apple introduced child accounts, so that children under the age of 13 could have Apple IDs without having to lie about their age. This was a sensible move! However, it left those of us who had already made an account for a child (by lying about their age) a bit in the lurch, […]

My employer has long used Skype as a team communication tool. This has some drawbacks, as I found myself complaining about way back in 2011, mostly that Skype is very much not optimized for big long-running rooms, particularly on mobile devices. Given this, why have we stuck with it? If we switch, everyone in the […]
