Response to June 2012 article: http://warp.byu.edu/site/content/1100
The article is coming up on its first birthday, but it’s on the web, and I found it by mistake while searching for an unrelated topic.
The argument
The argument of the author, a teacher of Java, was that the Django urlconf system is too verbose and [...]
On Linux, all manner of automation is available. I run my own minecraft server process on my virtual private server, and have been occasionally faced with random crashes. (Truth be told, the machine needs just a tad more RAM, so perhaps the process is killed by the OS for this reason.)
To keep my Minecraft [...]
Now here’s a difficult-to-Google-search niche concern: how do I change the sidebar icons for files (or folders) in the Textmate sidebar?
Most of my attempts to find an existing article on the subject were decided failures, because the query was just too wordy, and all I’d find was Textmate replacement icons and file type icons [...]

About.me
Tim Valenta
Amateur at everything, coder, UI designer, musician, and writer. I break things apart and re-program them from scratch to learn exactly which problems people have solved in the past. I write for NaNoWriMo, and I'm nearing the self publication of a short story called Highway.
Python is my passion. Alastair Reynolds writes great science fiction, but has a really ugly website. My Mac is my Linux without all the driver failures. I hate working directly for salesmen. Huge scented candles are surprisingly nice when you work from home all day. I play AP Mid lane for my League of Legends team, but love a good run at Top.
