I am excited to announce the release of version 0.2.6 of Braindump. I have taken a short break from Braindump at the beginning of the year, but I am still committed to making it the best note platform out there! New Features Note Archives Ability to Completely Empty the Trash Removed Features Oauth[1] Tasks[2] UX… Continue reading Version 0.2.6 of Braindump Released

I am excited to announce the release of version 0.2.5 of Braindump. It has been a while since I have made a new release, but there have been enough new features added over the last few weeks that I felt that it was time! One of the most exciting things about this release is the… Continue reading Version 0.2.5 of Braindump Released

Yesterday I wrote about my new app called braindump that I have been working on. Today I added a couple new features and decided to share it on Hacker News. I was only expecting a few people to check it out, and I have been thrilled with the response and feedback. 259 Stars on GitHub 89 Points on HN 192… Continue reading I Shared Braindump With the World

I have been working on braindump for over a year now. I have rewritten it from scratch over 10 times. Three weeks ago I finally wrote a version that I am somewhat happy with and I am excited to share it with the world. I have a vision for what a notes app/platform is supposed to look… Continue reading Introducing Braindump

Leiningen is an awesome tool for getting up and running with Clojure. They have a super simple bash or .bat script for getting up and running on OS X, Linux, and Windows. The home page does an awesome job explaining how to get started with OS X and Linux but not so much on Windows. This is… Continue reading Installing Leiningen on Windows

You do this by performing business opportunities such as “Network with business leaders”, “Push the envelope”, and “Streamline workforce”.… Continue reading Hacking an Angular.JS game for Fun and (fake) Profit

If you have ever wondered what it looked like to convert an application from Python to Javascript, you are in luck. After finishing ezbadgeyesterday, I came to the realization that the entire thing could and should have been written in Javascript. There is absolutely no reason for this thing to send any requests to a server in order… Continue reading ezBadge v2: Now in Stunning Javascript HD

A few months ago I wrote about my struggles with Markdown Image Links. The entire reason why I was working on that before was to put cute little badges in my Github repos. Today I took this a whole step forward and wrote a small web application that just “does the needful” for you. ezBadge makes it… Continue reading Introducing ezBadge

I am using ANTLR for a Compilers course, and working on a windows box. Getting ANTLR to work is not difficult since it is just a Java jar file. The quick start instructions on the ANTLR website seem really straightforward, and they probably are if you know what you are doing. However, I had a bit of… Continue reading Setting up ANTLR4 on Windows

EDIT: I am sorry for derping out of control. When I initially published this post it was called “Programming Web Sockets in Python”, this is just flat out wrong. What we are making here is just a regular socket. Web Sockets and regular sockets are similar but are certainly not the same thing. I hope you will still… Continue reading Programming Sockets in Python
