  • Experimenting with various html prototypes for an upcoming web app. It’s surprising and saddening how off-the-mark Photoshop is with font rendering for the web.

    Another reason all UI designers should be able to roll-up their sleeves and punch out html goods.

    This combination uses Proxima Nova with Anonymous Pro and is my favourite after playing with over 10 others.

    For the curious, these are screens from Keepr, which is close to readiness. Font explorations have come about in the interest of a better experience; we shall see.

    Note: Faux content silently nabbed from various swiss-miss posts :)

  • Instagram Interview

    Instagram isn’t in Twitter’s old office, it’s in Twitter’s old conference room. The entire company is nothing more than a collection of desks arranged bullpen-style in a room that is smaller than most two-car garages.

    Inspiring interview. This quote made me chuckle, in a geeky no one else is in the room way.

  • Also amazing.

  • Wau! Vihart is amazing and I’m hooked on the rad-ness of her videos.

  • Getting started with Git Flow

    I posted a brief intro to Git Flow a while ago. Recently, I wanted to use it on a new project and thought I’d jot down some notes for getting up and running.

    1. Installing: via Brew.

    brew install git-flow

    2. Setup & Workflow: This is a good guide to using Git Flow.

    3. Shortcuts: For shorthand versions of the Git Flow commands add some alias’s your git config.

    mate ~/.gitconfig
    [alias]
  fs = flow feature start
  ff = flow feature finish
  rs = flow release start
  rf = flow release finish
  hs = flow hotfix start
  hf = flow hotfix finish

  • iTerm new terminal window on startup

    I’ve been using iTerm for the past few months. Overall it’s a really nifty GUI. Only one thing bugs me; Each time you open it a new Terminal window doesn’t open by default!?

    Today I found a fix. Noted here for reference:

    1. Open iTerm
    2. Create a new window and position/resize it to how you’d like it to appear each time you open iTerm
    3. Now select ‘Window > Save Window Arrangement’
    4. Give it a name (e.g.: ‘Default’) and click ‘Set Default’
    5. With preferences still open, click the ‘General’
    6. Check the box ‘Open default window arrangement’ under the heading ‘Startup’

    Bam!

  • Unix Shell get size of directory

    Get the size of a directory in Unix.

    du -sh directory

    The du command stands for ‘disk usage’.

    The options -sh are ‘results for specified directory’ and ‘human readable’ respectively.
