I’ve been stalling a lot on writing this post. I guess I wanted everything to be perfect by the time I actually wrote about it however my willpower to finish these test cases is weak. The site has now changed, yet again. I decided not to wait 5 years between refreshes this time. The biggest change people should notice is at first glance you shouldn’t notice change. When you click around it should be easy to realize that the site isn’t WordPress based anymore though. I’ve switched over to Pelican. The project still feels very young and small, but it’s done in python and the developers are very active and open to submissions so I jumped in. ...

Things like this happen sometimes [4:27 PM] <SnowLprd> tBunnyMan: Nice work on #389. I can see how that will come in handy. :^) [4:27 PM] <tBunnyMan> Thanks! [4:28 PM] <tBunnyMan> I really just wanted a 404 and 50x error that matched my theme... but making it more extensible helps everyone [4:28 PM] <tBunnyMan> I just need to finish this test case for it when work stops being annoying [4:29 PM] <SnowLprd> Nice of you to generalize it for everyone, despite only needing it yourself for 404/50x errors. [4:29 PM] <SnowLprd> And the test will also be most welcome! \o/ [4:32 PM] <tBunnyMan> Pelican is fairly awesome IMO, I hope I can help tweak it into epic levels. [4:34 PM] <SnowLprd> With contributions like yours, those levels will be here in short order. :D [4:34 PM] <tBunnyMan> haha. I'm not that good ;p Thanks for the kind words [4:35 PM] <tBunnyMan> Catch you around. It's time to travel [4:35 PM] <SnowLprd> Every little bit counts! [4:35 PM] <SnowLprd> Sounds good. Cheers! [4:36 PM] <tBunnyMan> It does. It's why I love contributing little things to big projects. All I really was trying to do is add a very quick and simple feature I needed. This was the response I got for it! The thing is, you would be shocked how infrequently I see something like this… It’s this type of additude and behavior amongst developers that makes people WANT to work with eachother and help really grow a product. ...

I haven’t posted in a while because I am working on redoing this site. Once I am done with the backend I will start updating regularly.

Backstory When I bought my NOOK Simple Touch™ in January of this year I rediscovered calibre E-book management. While software always felt clunky in Mac OS X you could never deny it’s power and sheer amazing once you got past the UI. Being a big fan of ReadItLater I immediately tried to have the program pump my massive reading list into my Nook. To my dismay I discovered that the plugin was hardly complete. It piped my entire ~500 article1 reading list into a several megabytes large ebook and ordered articles from newest to oldest. Running the plugin a second time… produced the same results. It hadn’t even the courtesy to mark articles as read. ...

Through my whole life I have always struggled to find the perfect tool for the job. No matter what I am doing I from the big to the little I question methods and tools I am using. Sometimes I find it, sometimes I struggle on and on. This is a story about how I think I found perfection. I have always had a fascination with wallets. They are where we keep the summary of our life and our valuables. Your wallet is like a woman’s purse, the thing that curious people want to pick through to find out more about you and the thing more introspective people think about how it reflects on them. Any time you pay for something the seller glances down and takes a quick look not just at your payment but at what it is coming out of. Your wallet is a statement of you in one of those subtle ways. ...

“Everything happens for a reason.” I read this normally innocuous phrase on a friend’s blog recently and wanted to toss my coffee mug. The notion of the phrase makes me want to jump out of my chair and flip my keyboard. I’m not going to rag on them for saying or even feeling it, it’s simply not my place to tell people how to live their lives, however it bothers me that people who I care about in the world think like that. ...

A: Importing this content into the new site was attempted only for a few moments before a review of it’s nature and amount had it canceled. Q: What is, BunnyMan’s old LJ? Correct! Wow. No, not happening. I still have it all backed up but I think all that old content will stay back there. I am currently trying to set this up so I can post my mostly private journal here as well as posting public news and information. LJ will not be getting 100% of the content I post, but it still will get some updates. The dawn of handpicked RSS content and feeds has consumed community and “friend based” feeds and for the most part I think we are better for it. I’m getting on the ship.

Another new site, another clean slate ready to be filled with so much information! I will try to make this site as little about the drivel, porn, rage, and trolls that the rest of the internet seems to amuse itself about. This site is going to be all about the things that really interest me. Currently those things are Fiction, Writing, Technology, writing fiction, and Productivity… There also may be stuff about glitchy painful music and podcasts. ...
