If you can't install py-appscript on Mac OS X

2008-07-03T03:56:43Z

This was driving me crazy; neither the egg nor the setup.py thingy in the source download were working to install Python appscript. So I opened setup.py and changed this:

try:
from setuptools import setup, Extension
except ImportError:
print "Note: couldn't import setuptools so using distutils instead."
from distutils.core import setup, Extension

to this:

from distutils.core import setup, Extension

to force it to use distutils instead of the dang setuptools which never works for me. It worked! Now I can go back to scripting my apps again.

こんなiPhoneは嫌だ。

2008-06-20T17:35:01Z

The newest reason that I love the internet, and Japan, is the hatena haiku (think Twitter in Japanese) meme "konna iPhone wa iya da." Literally, it's something like "I wouldn't like this iPhone", and it consists of people proposing weird hypothetical iPhones:

"It's covered in hair. Whenever someone calls you, it grows."

"iPhone 3G actually means '3 gold'. So, 1 gold is worth 66 dollars."

"The white on the 16GB version is made from the white stuff you get in your mouth when you drink Calpis"

"The multi-touch screen is like a file and people complain about losing their fingerprints"

"Folding" (click to see the illustration)

Hi,

I have just uploaded a character sheet and a set of power cards for Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition. They're templates, so you can put them in your ~/Library/Application Support/OmniGraffle/Templates folder to have them show up in your template chooser. Check them out!

Hi friends,

I have some special codes that'll give you 4 times the specs and a big discount on web hosting, if you're into that kind of thing. Let me know if you'd like one!

I've been using DreamHost for over 8 years now.

Is cross-posting to LiveJournal broken?

2008-05-28T21:15:19Z

None of my recent posts seem to have made it over to LJ.

Ah yes, LiveJournal asked me to change my password a while back, and my cross-posts have been silently failing since then. There's no way to cross-post ex post facto, so I guess I'm out of luck. Maybe I'll just stop trying to keep both blogs in sync, and switch back to full-time Voxing.
