An in-game text editor and addon authoring tool (Lua).

Keep notes with it, write Lua scripts, or prototype addon concepts in its trimmed down development environment. Organize your scripts into folders and share them with other _DevPad users. Scripts can run automatically on login like mini addons, and can call each other like libraries or dependencies.

An absolutely spectacular AddOn that I’m not sure I can live without.

I’ve put in my 10,000 hours – update

2015-12-11

books, documentation, my writing, personal, programming, reviews, writing

It was Aug 2009 when I wrote I’ve put in my 10,000 hours. Rather than updating that post, I’ll save it for history and completely rewrite it.

A long time ago, Malcolm Gladwell was on The Hour, and he talked about his “10,000-Hour Rule” from his book Outliers. When I saw that interview, I realized I’ve put in my 10,000 hours on a couple of topics now.

However, when I now think back on it, I see a big difference between the “expertise” 10,000 hours of intuitive interest, versus 10,000 hours of practice with a learned skill.

The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller

In general, this is a wonderful program. A great editor, and it’s quite easy to use.

Unfortunately, it really is for programmers. While I can muddle through everything, I’m not a programmer so it’s extremely time consuming for me to make anything.

Yeah, I haven’t updated this in a while. I’ll revisit this concept eventually.

I haven’t really decided what I should focus on this July, August, September. I’ll keep this post updated.

Continued from 2013 second-quarter immersion.

Using apt-get to download a program

2013-06-08

bash, Linux, programming, todo, Ubuntu

2014-08-04 – I’ve been using an offline downloading solution for some time, but haven’t had the time to write up a proper HOWTO.

Archives are normally stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/, but I wanted to know how to download an archive directly to a specified directory.

The code is alive

hacking, my writing, personal, programming, writing

I finally pieced a bunch of ideas together. When apart, each has always felt like they were missing something. Put together, and there is an epiphany.
