Snowboarding

RY089280 This photo was one of many that I took the other night. We were having a lot of fun snowboarding out side of Candlelight and it gave me an excellent opportunity to try out my flash.

My camera has been acting up a bit, I started noticing it when I was in South Africa. It keeps turning on and off, especially when you jerk it a little bit. Not sure what would cause this, I should probably take it to a camera shop :/

screenshot of lifeasayeti.comI guess this morning I am reflecting on my sad attempts of goals. It was a goal for the past few years to have a website for our snowboarding team,”Club Yeti”, where we could post pictures, videos & news.

Well, as of yesterday, my goal is somewhat accomplished… What does that mean? Well I kind of cheated, rather than making some awesome custom website, I installed Wordpress MU on the server allowing all the members to have their own Wordpress blog.  This seemed fairly logical, since Wordpress has all the features I needed and more… So, I guess we will have to wait and see how the year goes by, I hope every one uses it! haha.

So much for my 365 Photo adventure for 2010

It is already January 3, my camera is probably covered in dust and batteries left uncharged. What a bad start at an attempt to take at least one photo every day for 2010. I still plan to do one, it just wont be January to January… And chances are if I will miss a number of days no matter what I do. Haha.

ChromiumExtras Script

Posted in Programming on January 2nd, 2010 by Ryan – Be the first to comment

So, this is a rather lame script but I thought I would share it with Mac users who like the latest Chromium builds. I am not sure if there is a better way to do this or not, but I love the ability to start Chromium with pinned tabs. To accomplish the task, I created a dummy executable that just opens Chromium with some extra arguments. The problem was, every time I updated Chromium, it killed my nice little script because it lived in the Chromium.app folder.

The Solutions… I wrote this small script that asks how many tabs you want to start pinned and also if you would like to enable GreaseMonkey Scripts. The only grease monkey script I tested is one that puts the unread count of Google Reader messages into the favicon (perfect for the pinned tab scenario.)

Give it a download -> ChromiumExtras

Anyways, feel free to use this script. It is real basic, but does the job. Any questions or comments are welcome. Let me know if you have other tricks you like to use with Chromium as well, or if you would like more options or whatever I can see what I can do to help out!

Enjoy!
