Robert Frost Road Not Taken Compass 4"
Two roads diverged in a wood and I ...I took the one less traveled by
- Robert Frost
Let imagination and inspiration be your guides, aided by this finely-crafted brass compass from Hampton Nautical. Inscribed with the inspiring wisdom of poet Robert Frost to explore where others rarely tread, this fully-functional compass can take you wherever that path may lead, but also serves as a beautiful and inspiring conversation piece suitable for display on any desk or shelf.
- Polished brass housing for compass
- Inscribed cover feature the wisdom of Robert Frost
- Solid rosewood box lined with felt to store compass
- Brass anchor emblem inset in face of rosewood box
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Similar to Brass Pocket Compasses Models
Additional Information
Combining the fascinating history of hand compasses with the poetry and life of Robert Frost, this mini brass compass tells a story of life and the roads taken, on a nautical tool that has been used for centuries to guide the way. Born in San Francisco in 1874, and growing up in Massachusetts, Robert Frost became known for his elegant poems of life in the countryside, winning four Pulitzer prizes for poetry in his life. He left his studies at Harvard after being married, taking nine years to work the farm his grandfather bought for his young family, and spending much of his time writing the poems that would become his legacy. In 1912 he and his family sailed across the Atlantic, settling into England before returning to the states at the onset of World War I. For the next 42 years Frost taught at various universities throughout the New England, earning multiple honorary degrees from prestigious universities, and on January 20, 1961 he gave a wonderful reading of his work for President John F. Kennedy's inauguration. These brass compasses are the perfect gift for the nautical enthusiast in your life, each mini brass compass both a symbol and a written reminder of the paths we take through life. As Frost wrote, in such beautiful simplicity, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." Take the road less traveled, discover the magnificence of life for yourself, and let these brass compasses be your guide.

Evander of Pallene
In Roman mythology, Evander (from Greek Εὔανδρος Euandros, "good man" or "strong man": a spelling and etymology affected by poets to emphasize the hero's virtue),[1] also spelled Euander, was a deific culture hero from Arcadia, Greece, who brought the Greek pantheon, laws and alphabet to Italy, where he founded the city of Pallantium on the future site of Rome, sixty years before the Trojan War. He instituted the festival of Lupercalia.
The oldest tradition[which?] of its founding ascribes to Evander the erection of the Great Altar of Hercules in the Forum Boarium. In Virgil's Aeneid, VIII, where Aeneas and his crew first come upon Evander and his people, they were venerating Hercules for dispatching the giant Cacus. Virgil's listeners would have related this scene to the same Great Altar of Hercules in the Forum Boarium of their own day, one detail among many in the Aeneid that Virgil used to link the heroic past of myth with the Age of Augustus. Also according to Virgil, Hercules was returning from Gades with Geryon's cattle when Evander entertained him. Evander then became the first to raise an altar to Hercules' heroism. This archaic altar was destroyed in the Great Fire of Rome, AD 64.
Evander was born to Mercury and Carmenta, and his wisdom was beyond that of all Arcadians. According to Virgil,[2] previous to the Trojan War, Evander gathered a group of natives[who?] to a city he founded in Italy near the Tiber river, which he named Pallantium. Virgil states that he named the city in honor of his son, Pallas, although Pausanias, Livy[3] and Dionysius of Halicarnassus[4] say that Evander's birth city was Pallantium, thus he named the new city after the one in Arcadia.
Because of their traditional ties, Evander aids Aeneas in his war against Turnus and the Rutuli: the Arcadian had known the father of Aeneas, Anchises, before the Trojan War, and shares a common ancestry through Atlas with Aeneas's family. Evander plays a major role in Aeneid Book XII.
Evander was deified after his death and an altar was constructed in his name on the Aventine Hill. His son Pallas apparently died childless, leaving the natives under Turnus to ravage his kingdom; however, the gens Fabia claimed descent from Evander.

For Dillard student Sierra Spears, it truly is better to give than receive. The 21-year-old senior has done a lot of giving this past year and her efforts have been rewarded. On Thursday, Jan. 19, Spears will receive the Martin Luther King Jr. Service Award for her tireless contributions to community service.
"I love the reaction you get from helping people," says Spears, who plans to begin law school in the fall. Spears says building relationships with others is an added bonus when volunteering.
Though she has participated in mentoring programs, served as a tutor, and performed many other service activities, Spears says coaching the Prancing Panthers dance team at St. Rita Catholic Central is her favorite thing to do. The busy political science major has still found time to help the dance team at St. Rita practice for a series of upcoming performances for Black History Month. For Spears, it's just who she is. "The concept of leadership through service was instilled in me early on. It's ingrained in me; it's a part of my biological makeup," she adds.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Service Award will be presented to Spears and another student at the MLK Convocation, which begins at 6:30 p.m. at Xavier University. It is bestowed on students who exemplify the principles, standards, and ideology of Martin Luther King Jr.
On Jan. 9, 2012, Dillard alum Patrick O. Jefferson, '90, was sworn in as representative for District 11 in the Louisiana State House of Representatives. Jefferson's goals as a state representative include holding regular town hall meetings to keep citizens informed (which he did throughout his campaign); ensuring the maintenance of local infrastructure; advocating for senior citizen programs; creating opportunities for young people; and providing affordable healthcare.
Jefferson, who has been in private practice as a lawyer since 2001, has also held a myriad of service positions in the community, including president of the Bienville Parish Police Jury, and member of the board of supervisors of Southern University, the Arcadia Lions Club and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. He received his Juris Doctorate from Ohio State University College of Law in 1994. After completing law school, Jefferson returned to Dillard, where he worked in the Office of the President as administrative assistant to Dr. Samuel DuBois Cook, a position he held until 1998. He served as dean of students from 1998-2001.
Adrian Guy Anderson, Dillard's executive director of Alumni Relations, attended the inauguration on behalf of the university (pictured). Alumnae Therese Badon and Rhea Lucien also attended.
Dillard University Alumna Dr. Doris R. Hicks is one of the best; local media has deemed her so. Gambit and BestofNewOrleans.com recognized and made honorable mention of four outstanding school principals, including Dr. Hicks in their annual "Best of New Orleans" issue. The principal and CEO of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Charter School in the Lower Ninth Ward acknowledges the dedication of students, teachers and parents in making a difference. The school will graduate its first class of senior students this spring.
For more information on Dr. Hicks and other Dillard Alumni, contact Adrian Guy Anderson, Executive Director in the Office of Alumni Relations at (504) 816-4325 or
René Marie, the award winning singer whose style incorporates elements of jazz, soul, blues and gospel, has quickly become a heroine to many; a woman of great strength exuding stamina and compassion; often explaining how finding her voice and self through singing gave her the courage to leave an abusive marriage. But since the release of her recording debut, Renaissance, this Colorado based heroine has also evolved into one of the greatest and most sensuous vocalists of our time. Unmistakably honest and unpretentious while transforming audiences worldwide with her powerful interpretations, electrifying deliveries and impassioned vocals — René Marie has drawn a legion of fans and music critics who find themselves not only entertained, but encouraged and even changed by her performances.
Dillard University is proud to partner with the Jazz & Heritage Foundation on this Jazz Journey. There is no cost to attend the concert and doors will open at Lawless Memorial Chapel at 6:30 p.m. For more information, contact Brendan Twist, Assistant Director of Marketing & Communications at 816-4328 or
You're invited to join us for the Martin Luther King Jr. Week for Peace, a week of events to commemorate Dr. King's life and legacy and honor all past and present leaders for social change. The MLK Week for Peace is coordinated by the DREAM Team, a coalition of staff and students from Dillard, Loyola, Tulane and Xavier universities.
Many of the events are free and open to the public, including the convocation on Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 6:30 p.m. in Dillard's Georges Auditorium in the PSB. Titled "The Continuing Need for Affirmative Action in a Diverse American," this panel discussion will feature W. Jelani Cobb of Rutgers University, Silas H. Lee of Xavier, Justice Bernette Johnson of the Louisiana Supreme Court, Bill Quigley of Loyola, and more. It will be moderated by Melissa Harris-Perry of Tulane and MSNBC and be preceded by a light reception at 5:30 p.m.

In the unlikely event that anyone wants to scroll through the whole history of the TDD demo Rails app I did the other day, I wrote a little script to munge it all into one page. And here it is.
Telling a story with git
This may be the ugliest bash one-liner ever:
git log --pretty=%h | tail -r | while read sha ; do if [[ -z $(git rev-parse --verify $sha^2 2> /dev/null) ]] ; then echo '----' ; git show --summary $sha | tail -n+5 | egrep -v '^ (?:create|delete) mode' ; git --no-pager diff --color -U999 $sha~ $sha | awk '/diff --git/ { sub("^a/", "", $3) ; print "===" $3 } /diff --git/, /@@/ { next } { print }' ; fi ; done | ansifilter -H | sed 's/^----$/<hr \>>/;s/===\(.*\)/<h2>\1<\/h2>/' > history.html
It runs through the git history of a project, printing the full message for each commit, followed by a complete listing of each changed file, with added, removed or changed lines highlighted. It then outputs the result into a big ugly HTML file. Like this.
Setting up a new Mac
I decided to do a clean install on my new [work] Mac, rather than just copying everything across from my old one. I thought I'd note down some of the things I installed, in case it comes in handy for anyone else (particularly new Mac users).
I've mostly ignored common cross-platform stuff like DropBox, 1Password etc, and setting up things like git and ruby. If you just want to quickly set up a Mac for ruby development, Thoughtbot's laptop project (or Adam's fork) might be the way to go.
If you've got any other can't-live-without Mac apps that I might have missed, let me know!
From the app store:
- Collective (clipboard history)
- Display Menu (set monitor resolution from menu bar)
- Dragon Drop (intermediate drag-and-drop holder)
- Caffeine (stop your Mac sleeping during presentations etc)
- Hardware Growler (notifications for hardware events)
- ControlPlane (perform operations when switching network etc)
- Dash (all sorts of offline API docs)
- Tweetbot (the best Twitter client)
- ReadKit (RSS, Feedly, Instapaper etc client)
- Pixelmator (much cheaper than Photoshop!)
Other apps:
- iTerm2 (a better terminal)
- MacVim
- Homebrew (package manager)
- Bartender (Hide/organise menu bar items)
- iStat Menus (Monitor CPU, memory etc in the menu bar)
- f.lux (adjust screen colour and brightness at night)
- Source Code Pro (my favourite coding font)
- Pow (zero-configuration rack server for development)
Packages from homebrew (see above)

Quick-and-dirty "edit text in vim" Mac service
Today I wanted to edit a big chunk of text (the source of a wiki page) in a browser textarea, and remembered that I used to have an app that let me open any text in vim, then paste the result back where it came from. Eventually I found the app I was thinking of – QuickCursor – but it turns out it's no longer available.
Coincidentally I was looking into how to do something else tonight, and the answer was to create a service that ran an AppleScript, and it occurred to me that I could probably make a basic "edit in vim" service fairly easily. Turns out I was right…
Open the "Automator" app, and create a new service. Add a shell script action, and paste in the following script (this assumes you've installed the
mvim script that comes with MacVim):
filename=`mktemp ~/.edit-in-vim-XXXX` cat > $filename /usr/local/bin/mvim -f $filename cat $filename rm $filename
Select "Output replaces selected text" in Automator, save the service, and you're done. Just select some text (it doesn't select-all for you like QuickCursor did), right-click and run your new service. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences:
FESuffolk Jasmine lightning talk
At last night's FESuffolk meeting I gave a lightning talk on getting started with unit-testing Javascript/coffeescript using jasmine-headless-webkit. I made a screen recording, so if you missed it you can still experience my frantic babbling (I had Keynote set to auto-advance, using the Ignite 20 × 15 second slide format, and as usual I tried to cram too much into each slide).
If you don't want to watch the recording, you can look at the slides and guess what I might have been saying, read the example code (the commits try to build up in small steps), or just play with the utterly pointless app that the example implements.
Interesting little rSpec gotcha
This one had Adam and me stumped for a while. Trying to check that a method is only called on objects that respond to it:
describe "Foo#call_all_the_things" do let(:foo_1) { stub :foo_1, bar: "hello" } let(:foo_2) { stub :foo_2 } subject { Foo.new foo_1, foo_2 } it "only calls bar on objects that respond to it" do foo_1.should_receive :bar foo_2.should_not_receive :bar subject.call_all_the_things(:bar) end end class Foo def initialize *things @things = things end def call_all_the_things method @things.each do |thing| thing.send method if thing.respond_to? method end end end 1) Foo#call_all_the_things only calls bar on objects that respond to it Failure/Error: thing.send method if thing.respond_to? method (Stub :foo_2).bar(no args) expected: 0 times received: 1 time
Hmm. Why is it calling
bar on the thing that doesn't respond to it? Perhaps rSpec doubles don't handle
respond_to? properly?
[1] pry(main)> require "rspec/mocks/standalone" => true [2] pry(main)> foo = stub foo: 123 => #<RSpec::Mocks::Mock:0x3fd07d246f34 @name=nil> [3] pry(main)> foo.respond_to? :foo => true [4] pry(main)> foo.respond_to? :bar => false
FX: lightbulb above head
Of course! To do the
should_not_receive check, it needs to stub the method, which means it responds to it!
Two possible solutions: either let the fact that the missing method isn't called be tested implicitly, or specify that when objects that don't respond to the method exist, no
NoMethodError is raised.
Adastral Park code retreat
Ever since attending code retreat at Bletchley Park (the UK leg of Corey Haines's code retreat tour) last year, I'd been vaguely intending to try and run an internal one at work. I finally got round to it this month, when a few people expressed an interest in a code retreat as a one-off alternative to the usual developer conferences we run a couple of times a year. I thought I'd share my experiences facilitating a code retreat for the first time, in case it's helpful to anyone thinking of doing the same.
The "official" code retreat site has some good information on things to consider when hosting and facilitating. I suspect organising an internal company event is easier than a public one, because hopefully you'll have a venue available and you won't need to worry about sponsorship. The only one of Corey's rules I ignored was the one about giving people decent food at lunchtime, but we did at least manage to beg enough budget (thanks Mel!) to be able to provide cheap Tesco sandwiches at lunchtime and a few random snacks and coffee during the day. I don't feel too bad because rather than asking people to "come out at eight in the morning to spend the day coding", we were giving them an excuse to spend a work day away from their projects, getting paid to practice.
We also planned to start at nine o'clock rather than the traditional eight. I think for public events the early start, usually on a Saturday, is a good way of selecting only people who really want to take part, but running it at work I wanted to swing the balance a bit towards encouraging people to come (I work on a large site with probably a couple of hundred developers scattered amongst the 3000-odd BT people, and part of the motivation for running this kind of event is to try and put developers from different teams in touch with each other).
With a bit of publicity via mailing lists and posters on site, 27 people had signed up. That seemed like about the right number, although I had no idea how many of those would turn up, or whether anyone would turn up without registering. I turned up at the office in plenty of time, and was lucky enough to get some last-minute tips from the master:
Getting started
As it turned out we had a few glitches to deal with before we could get going – firstly the venue was locked and we only managed to get in because Rupert knew how to find the secret back entrance, then Adam and Anna got kicked out of Tesco for a fire alarm while buying the food – so we ended up starting at closer to 9.30.
Potentially the biggest disaster though was that the hopper was missing from the coffee machine (most likely locked away to stop people like us using it with our own beans instead of paying for catering). Fortunately it takes more than a little detail like that to defeat a room full of engineers, and we soon had a workaround in place using a plastic cup with the bottom cut out.
Once the caffeine supply was assured and we were finally ready to start, I gave a quick presentation covering the purpose of the day, the four rules of simple design and Conway's game of life:
First session
With everyone hopefully having a reasonable idea of what was going on, people paired up and started the first session. There were about 25–30 people (I forgot to count), split something like 70:20:10 between Java, Ruby and Groovy. In the first session, as expected, everyone was mostly just getting a feel for the problem, and realising that it's not quite as simple as it appears from the list of rules.
After 45 minutes, I put on my best exam invigilator voice and got everyone to stop typing, delete their code and gather round. Pairs were split roughly evenly between those that started with a grid and those that started with a cell, and we had a short discussion about how a grid approach using a two-dimensional array fitted in with the "infinite grid" constraint. Some of those who had started from a cell were thinking about approaches for allowing cells to know about their neighbours, but no-one had got that far yet.
Mixing it up
For the second session, I suggested that those that had started with a grid tried starting from a cell instead, and vice versa. There were also quite a few people who wanted a chance to try Ruby, so they tried to grab the rubyists before anyone else did. Little did they know that they would find themselves exposed to Vim (and in some cases Mac OS X) at the same time, but that's just a bonus.
In general people who tried both seemed to prefer the cell approach, partly because it made it easier to test-drive the rules. With a grid, people found they were having to implement some kind of
to_string or
render method to allow the transformed grid to be compared with the expected result. The biggest puzzle with the cell approach was how to handle the relationship between multiple cells.
I introduced a list of possible constraints people might want to consider to make things more interesting:
- No if statements (or other conditionals).
- No loops.
- No methods longer than five lines (or four, or three…)
- No more than three methods per class.
- No 'naked' language primitives.
- No built-in data structures.
I also attempted to explain TDD as if you meant it, in case anyone fancied giving it a go. Unfortunately my description was rather garbled, not helped by the fact that I'm not sure I fully understand it myself (I'm still annoyed that I picked the wrong track at SC2009 and missed Keith's original presentation of the exercise, and it turns out Adam made the same mistake at SPA2010).
Session three
By the third session several pairs were starting to experiment with storing cell objects either in a set (with each cell knowing its position) or a hash, keyed by position. Some people used a comma-separated "x,y" string as the key, but with a bit of prodding most ended up replacing it with a point class of some kind.
One pair decided to start with a single cell, then initialise other cells with their neighbours. This initially seemed promising, but soon led to complications with circular references, as well as the need to keep dead cells around to maintain a connection between cells with space between them.
Another pair started developing the rules with a cell class, and initially had an
alive? method which performed the life calculation. After some discussion they split the class into two – one for a living cell and another for a dead one. This removed a level of nesting from the calculations (which ended up in a different method), but interestingly left
alive? in both classes, hardcoded to true and false respectively. We decided that this would have looked less odd in Java, where the method would have been declared abstractly in a superclass or interface.
One pair had decided to try implementing a solution with no if statements, but resorted to cheating by using a case instead!
In general, a lot of people – particularly those new to TDD – were starting to get frustrated, feeling like they were just getting to the point where they were "about to start the interesting bit" as the 45 minutes were up. I told them that we'd just have two sessions after lunch rather than three, with the second session lengthened to give people a chance of implementing a working game.
Fourth – and as it turned out final – session
After lunch we started the fourth session, but it soon became clear that several pairs had already decided to abandon TDD and clean code in favour of trying to solve the problem. I completely understand how they felt – I wasted most of the sessions at the code retreat I attended simply pushing for the finish line instead of letting it go and concentrating on perfecting the internal quality of the code – but it seemed like we'd lost sight of the key goal of the day a little. I suspect I'm mostly to blame for that, and I'm sure a more experienced facilitator could have done a better job of gently guiding people in the right direction. Anyway, it seemed sensible to bow to the inevitable, let everyone carry on for another 45 minutes and wrap up a bit earlier than planned.
With the extra time, a few pairs did manage to get a working implementation, but the prize for the most impressive (cancelled out by a booby prize for abandoning TDD and neglecting the quality of their code!) goes to Jon and Jia Yan, who produced an SWT app that allowed graphical editing of the grid, variable speed and saving and loading files. They used the "set of live cells" approach, with an effectively infinite grid. Resizing the window on screen allowed you to show or hide cells, but the ones off the edge of the visible area continued to multiply.
Matthew and Rupert decided to look at someone else's solution in Clojure, to understand how a functional approach using list comprehensions can lead to a very concise solution. They also played around with a Ruby version using the same techniques. Looking at the Clojure code led to a slightly rearranged version of the rules for life at a particular location after a clock tick:
- Cells which had three neighbours are alive
- Cells which had two neighbours are unchanged
- All other cells are dead
Paul, stuck on his own after his pair got dragged off onto a conference call (the perils of being a senior manager!), had a play with TDD as if you meant it. I think by the end of the session he was starting to get somewhere. Further than me, at any rate.
Wrapping it all up
After letting Jon show off a glider gun running in their SWT universe, we gathered round for the closing circle, asking everyone what they'd learned, what had surprised them, and what they'd do differently back at work on Monday as a result. Probably the most common comments revolved around the fact that neither of the two most obvious solutions turned out to be the best, suggesting that it's worth spiking a few alternative approaches before heading blindly off down what may be a blind alley. Quite a few people were new to pairing, TDD or both, and generally seemed to agree that both provided benefits, although a couple of people felt that TDD was making things take much longer. Reassuringly, of the pairs that had abandoned TDD to concentrate on trying to get a working solution, most had found themselves descending into confusion without the tests to guide them.
Final thoughts
Overall, the event seemed to be a success. For quite a few people this was their first experience of TDD, and the opportunity to get first-hand experience by pairing with someone more experienced seemed to be useful. I was particularly pleased to see someone who's recently come back into software development after a long time away doing a great job of holding his pair back from rushing into implementation without a failing test.
On a less positive note, I didn't feel we really concentrated enough on "perfect" code and the four rules of simple design. I know from experience that it's hard to let go of the natural desire to try and finish solving the problem, and I felt that a lot of people were getting frustrated enough without me peering over their shoulders picking holes in their code (however nicely I tried to do it). Perhaps this is a case of horses for courses, with the concentration on design perfection more suitable for a different mix of participants, or perhaps it just reflects my lack of experience facilitating this kind of event.
Also, I don't think we really had enough sessions for the code retreat magic to start kicking in properly. We'd planned to have the recommended five or six, but a combination of the late start and a general loss of direction after lunch reduced that to four (with the fourth being double-length).
The important thing, of course, is that people learned something by participating, and I hope that was the case. Maybe we'll do another one one day, and use the experience of this one to make it even better.
Build and push to upstream git repository in the background
[Updated 11 Feb 2011 – I'm not sure the original version actually worked properly.]
Quite often I'll make small changes to a project's code which I'm 99% sure won't break the build. Of course thanks to Murphy's Law that probability falls to about 10% if I decide to risk it push the changes upstream without running the full build locally.
Now even if the build only takes a few minutes to run, that's a few minutes which I can't spend doing anything else with the code, because if I save a file I can't be sure whether the original or changed version will be used in the tests. What I'd like to be able to do is to run the build in the background, with changes automatically pushed upstream if everything's green, or an alert shown if either the build fails or the push is rejected (because someone else has pushed a change while the build was running).
Fortunately with a distributed version control system like git, this is fairly easy.
Firstly, clone the local working repository and set up a remote pointing to the clone:
git clone . ../myproject-staging git remote add staging ../myproject-staging
Now set up the cloned copy:
cd ../myproject-staging # Allow pushing into the checked-out branch git config receive.denyCurrentBranch ignore # Create a remote for the upstream server you want to push to (change the URI!) git remote add upstream [email protected]/your/repository/path.git
Do anything that needs doing to allow the cloned project to build (if you have a test database, create a separate instance to avoid tests interacting with your main workspace), and verify that the build runs.
Now add the following to
#!/bin/bash cd .. export GIT_DIR=.git git reset --hard nohup .git/hooks/post-reset 1> build_output 2>&1 &
This will reset your checked-out working copy to the pushed master, then run
.git/hooks/post-reset in the background. Create that file with the following content:
#!/bin/bash function error { growlnotify -s -t `basename $PWD` -m "$1" exit 1 } # Replace this with your build command bundle install --local && rake || error "Rake failed" git push upstream master || error "Git push failed" growlnotify -s -t `basename $PWD` -m "Built and pushed successfully"
Make sure both these hooks are executable:
chmod u+x .git/hooks/post*-receive
Now, back in your normal working repository you should just be able to type
git push staging (add
--force if you've rebased your normal master and get an error about the push not being a fast-forward), and the project will build in the staging repo. If everything works, it'll push upstream and you'll get a Growl notification (assuming you have Growl and growlnotify, or the equivalents for your OS, installed). If it fails, you'll also get a Growl notification. I've made the alerts sticky, so I don't miss them – if you don't want that, just remove the
-s flag. The build errors will be in the
build_output file.
The Wandering Book
After procrastinating and holding on to the wandering book for much too long, I finally made my entry. You can read it on the site, and here's the text if you can't decipher my handwriting:
I work in a large "enterprisey" company where craftsmanship is, unsurprisingly,
not the dominant model of software development. However, a craftsmanship ethos
still exists in some of the remaining pockets of in-house development, and if
anything appears to be strengthening.
For the first few years of my software career, I treated it very much as a day
job. I turned up; I wrote some code (or, for a horrendous proportion of the
time, some documents); I went home. I learned just enough to enable me to
complete whatever I was working on, but no more. I used the tools I was given,
or those I was familiar with, regardless of their suitability for the task at
Then I started working with someone who was trying cool new stuff. Dependency
injection. Automated testing. Continuous integration. I realised how
out-of-touch I was in my ideas of how software should be developed, and started
trying to put that right. I read about XP and Agile, and started following
blogs and reading articles. I went to XPDay, and turned up at the odd XTC pub
night when I happened be in London on a Tuesday.
More importantly, I started caring about my code. Instead of thousand-line
procedures, I started separating concerns and following OO principles. I wrote
unit tests, and after a while I got the hang of TDD. Month-long manual testing
and bug fixing phases gave way to an automated nightly build and a quick
confidence check, and eventually to something approaching continuous
Of course, the more widely I look at what others are doing, the more aware I am
that even when I think I might be doing something reasonably well, there are
always people out there doing it much, much better. I may never approach their
level, but I can learn from their work and thus improve mine. In turn I hope I
can pass something on to others.
So, to finally get to the point, I agree with earlier contributors that
craftsmanship is about caring, learning, practicing and sharing. Underpinning
all this though is community. Not 'the' software craftsmanship community, but
the community of other developers you work with; the communities around the
languages and tools you use; the agile, lean and XP communities; the community
of random people you met once at a conference – or maybe have never met at all
– and started following on Twitter.
Without these communities, we become isolated, and may start believing that the
way we currently work is 'best practice'. We need our fellow professionals to
compare ourselves against and to learn from, otherwise we can lapse into
complacency and let our skills (and our profession) stagnate.

Memoised remote attribute readers for ActiveRecord
I was recently working with an ActiveRecord class that exposed some attributes retrieved from a remote API, rather than from the database. The rules for handling the remote attributes were as follows:
- If the record is unsaved, return the local value of the attribute, even if it's nil.
- If the record is saved and we don't have a local value, call the remote API and remember and return the value.
- If the record is saved and we already have a local value, return that.
Here's the original code (names changed to protect the innocent):
class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base attr_writer :foo, :bar def foo (new_record? || @foo) ? @foo : remote_object.foo end def bar (new_record? || @bar) ? @bar : remote_object.bar end def remote_object @remote_object ||= RemoteService.remote_object end end
remote_object method makes a call to the remote service, and memoises the returned object (which contains all the attributes we are interested in).
I didn't really like the duplication in all these accessor methods – we had more than the two I've shown here – so decided to factor it out into a common
remote_attr_reader class method. Originally I had the method take a block which returned the remote value, but that made the tests more complicated, so I ended up using convention over configuration and having the accessor for foo call a remote_foo method.
Here's the new code in the model:
class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base remote_attr_reader :foo, :bar def remote_foo remote_object.foo end def remote_bar remote_object.bar end def remote_object @remote_object ||= RemoteService.remote_object end end
Here's the
RemoteAttrReader module that makes it possible:
module RemoteAttrReader def remote_attr_reader *names names.each do |name| attr_writer name define_method name do if new_record? || instance_variable_get("@#{name}") instance_eval "@#{name}" else instance_eval "remote_#{name}" end end end end end
To make the module available to all models, I added an initialiser containing this line:
ActiveRecord::Base.send :extend, RemoteAttrReader
Here's the spec for the module:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper' class RemoteAttrReaderTestClass extend RemoteAttrReader remote_attr_reader :foo def remote_foo "remote value" end end describe RemoteAttrReader do let(:model) { RemoteAttrReaderTestClass.new } describe "for an unsaved object" do before do model.stub(:new_record?).and_return true end describe "When the attribute is not set" do it "returns nil" do model.foo.should be_nil end end describe "When the attribute is set" do before do model.foo = "foo" end it "returns the attribute" do model.foo.should == "foo" end end end describe "for a saved object" do before do model.stub(:new_record?).and_return false end describe "When the attribute is set" do before do model.foo = "foo" end it "returns the attribute" do model.foo.should == "foo" end end describe "When the attribute is not set" do it "returns the result of calling remote_<attribute>" do model.foo.should == "remote value" end end end end
To simplify testing of the model, I created a matcher, which I put into a file in
class ExposeRemoteAttribute def initialize attribute @attribute = attribute end def matches? model @model = model return false unless model.send(@attribute).nil? model.send "#{@attribute}=", "foo" return false unless model.send(@attribute) == "foo" model.stub(:new_record?).and_return false return false unless model.send(@attribute) == "foo" model.send "#{@attribute}=", nil model.stub("remote_#{@attribute}").and_return "bar" model.send(@attribute) == "bar" end def failure_message_for_should "expected #{@model.class} to expose remote attribute #{@attribute}" end def failure_message_for_should_not "expected #{@model.class} not to expose remote attribute #{@attribute}" end def description "expose remote attribute #{@attribute}" end end def expose_remote_attribute expected ExposeRemoteAttribute.new expected end
Testing the model now becomes a simple case of testing the remote_ methods in isolation, and using the matcher to test the behaviour of the remote_attr_reader call(s).
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper' describe MyModel do it { should expose_remote_attribute(:name) } it { should expose_remote_attribute(:origin_server) } it { should expose_remote_attribute(:delivery_domain) } describe "reading remote foo" do # test as a normal method end end

It's no wonder that tens of thousands of people go to Champ de Mars and the Trocadero every night to party or just to see the view, because it really is spectacular.
Now that I'm done with night photos of the bridges over Thames in London, I think I will bring a real camera to Paris for a couple of weeks and continue with a new project on the Seine at night.
Real camera or not, here's a little night atmosphere of a completely random bridge ;-)

Finally got a chance of making some HDR photos with my Sony A6000. Was curious how well it could do long exposures and how the dynamic range would be. Does a pretty decent job. This is the first multiexposure HDR taken with that camera. And it's Bremen City Hall by the way - just around the corner a couple of hours ago.

Just received my Foldio2 (a Kickstarter project) today - a small collapsible lightcube for small object photography. It's lit by two rows of LED lights for making pro pack shots even with your smartphone. Made a short test with what was at hand. The result is straight out of the camera. Works pretty well.

I'm not sure the comparison between Flickr and Google Photos is fair. For me they are two very different products. Flickr is a photo community and working very well as such. Google Photos (and Google+) is not. Or at least not working as one. I once thought Google+ would replace Flickr for me, but I actually love Flickr more than ever now for being a real and noise-free photo community site.

Hands-off Bracketing with Sony A6000 - finally
I have previously complainted that the A6000 doesn't support the combination of auto-bracketing with a timer delay, so you can't do HDR photos without touching the camera while recording.
This is a major flaw, and something Sony unfortunately still hasn't fixed neither in the camera nor by adding appropriate options to their smartphone apps.
Fortunately though I found the DSLR Remote app. This features IR remote control of the camera. Combining the continous auto bracketing drive mode in the camera, with the remote trigger from DSLR Remote works like a dream. The DSLR Remote app has it's own HDR function too, but this I can't get to work with the camera. Don't know why. But that really doesn't matter when I can just use it for triggering the built-in bracketing function in the camera.
DSLR Remote is... more »

CPU slowing down
Do you know the kind of problems that, no matter how you phrase them, you get results about completely different things when searching on Google.
I have such a problem and have had it for months now without finding a solution, so now I turn to the community in hope of a solution.
I travel with my Dell Latitude laptop between my business office and home office. In both places it's docked in a docking station. Some times, roughly half of them, my CPU stays at 0,76 GHz when it starts up again from sleep mode. I notice it when my browser is slow or my email program is unresponsive. If I pull the power from the docking station, so the laptop runs on batteries, and put the plug back, then the CPU changes to running at 3,6 GHz. This is rather annoying as I often get frustrated about the speed of the computer before I do the plug-thing :-/
Any good ideas to what is... more »

One of the things that distinguishes Europe's old cities apart is how well old and new is integrated. Rome is a good example of how wrong things can go with "eye poop" everywhere. London is at the other end of the scale with Copenhagen and Berlin. For instance the beautiful Millennium Bridge towards St Paul's Cathedral.

Tried my new Sony A6000 in the studio for the first time. Using a digital viewfinder with a flash setup in a semi-dark studio is hardly ideal. It can be done, but I don't feel in control like when doing it with an ordinary viewfinder.
That said, using it for natural light photos, like the one below, is a completely different thing. It gives pretty good results, even at high ISO. This is a good companion for the more atmospheric photos.

Sony A6000 first impressions
Brought my new A6000 to a party last night. That was my first actual use of the camera. I didn't buy it for doing that kind of photography, so a f/4 lens isn't the most suitable for indoor photography at night. But I must say that at the Intelligent Auto mode it did a pretty good job capturing the party.
Experimented a little more today with the face recognition and eye focus and that works very well too, but I'll have to practice not doing my own single point focusing :-)
It's pretty noisy for a mirrorless camera. Even my Canon DSLR can take photos without any sound if using the live view mode, so I really didn't expect the A6000 to be that indiscrete.
I like HDR, and I was looking forward to using the camera for that, so I could carry less equipment around at night. With a lighter camera I could use a lighter tripod. Unfortunately... more »

There are many brilliant photographers in this collection that deserves respect, but I hate when good photographers are defined and illustrated by WHO they photographed. Brad Pitt and Barack Obama doesn't make a good portrait or photographer all by themselves. Good stories and businesses maybe.

New family member today. Didn't have much time to test it today, so I'm looking forward to that in the days to come. I did realize one thing though: The included manual sucks. Bigtime. It doesn't have to teach me how to photograph (hopefully) but it's hardly more than a button map, and I would like to know the features that could easily be missed. So I bought Gary Friedman's "The Complete Guide to Sony's Alpha 6000 Digital Camera". 600 pages might be a little over the top, but it seems like an OK book.

I'm starting with timelapse again. Did a little last summer, but got tired of GoPro's crappy and buggy GoPro Studio software - and got busy with many other things. But now it's time again. Gave GoPro Studio a second chance. But hell no! Not only does it crash now and then, and insists on chunking the timelapse into strange parts. It also outputs in their own CinePro codec, that most other programs don't like. I really don't get it why so many proprietary codecs are needed. Grrrrr!
So - VirtualDub is installed now. Maybe an old program, but it works perfectly and makes a brilliant result. Time to process the 250 GB timelapse photos on stock.

Just watched Boyhood with the kid. Obviously unique, and quite okay for a drama almost 3 hours long. The awards are well deserved. I kind of think that it captures parents growing up better than kids growing up. The feeling of getting old and not knowing what happened to all that time in between. And yet a reminder of that short moment, when life seemed to unfold. Recommended indeed.

I'm waiting for the Canon 5DS, but I don't want to get the first batches, so I might have to wait for almost a year. My current camera (5DII) is getting rather old now, and I fear every day that it will stop working. So I need a companion for it, especially with the confirmation season coming up. I've decided for a Sony A6000 with a Zeiss 16-70mm (24-105 equiv). I've had many different brands, but never a Sony. I really look forward to getting it in the coming week. New toys ... weeeeeh!

Just watched the "Finding Vivian Maier" documentary. I knew parts of the story, but this is truly an exceptional and touching story. Can't help wondering that if she was discovered by sheer coincidence, how many amazing works of undiscovered artists are lost forever?
Wonderful documentary about a story that is both tragic and simply beautiful. An insight into a kind of excentric people that we have probably all met at some point in life. If you ever get a chance to see it, you really should!

Very funny that this is considered "german style". I think she is somehow confused about the "US style" not being the norm of the rest of the world.
Reminds me of a story some years back. I was helping some american scouts planning a trip to Denmark, and I received a list of questions from their worried parents. One of the questions was: "What is the murder rate". I don't know if they believed the answer, but they came to Denmark for sure ;-)
I think some americans need to travel more with open eyes. And if they can't travel, maybe they should read some Goethe, Montessori, Steiner and other thinkers, which have greatly influenced how parenting and education is done in Europe and most of the developed world.

Fake friend requests
Recently I've got a lot "X accepted your friend request"-notifications on Facebook from people that I don't know and in many cases don't have any friends in common with.
At first I just thought that it might be very old requests I've forgotten about, maybe someone I met in a facebook group, but I started wondering, as I rarely make friendship requests on Facebook. Yesterday I decided to investigate further, and asked one of the persons when she received a friend request from me. And she got it only a few days back, which makes me 100% sure, that it didn't actually come from me in person.
The person I asked, I can actually find in my activity log for last week that I asked for friendship, but not a single one of the many other persons.
I've searched around for this problem and it seems to be quite common, but in no cases in the... more »

When backup pays
Yesterday I got value for my money. Probably so much that it pays for decades using Crashplan.
I use Google Drive for everything in my companies. Everything is stored online. For collaboration purposes I have many folder structures that are shared with different groups - administrative persons, accountants, board members, business partners etc. Some of them just use the Google Drive web interface, others - like myself - use the syncronization feature of Google Drive, and stores everything in a physical copy on the local drive.
Yesterday one of those people was infected with ransomware. Every single file, in a large administrative folder structure, was encrypted and, with Google Drive working very well, every file was instantaneously syncronized with everyone else. Me included, of course.
Google Drive only offers file-by-file revisions and has, as far as I know, no... more »

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I am smart, calm and easy-going. I am financially self-sufficient and live life enthusiastically. I am looking for a relationship that enhances both of our lives.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I'm in retirement training. I love to skip work and go to the movies. I like to travel and have been to every continent except Antartica (not on my bucket list). I have a daughter and two granddaughters who live in Denver so I don't see them as much as I would like.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
That depends on whether they are male or female.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I subscribe to Broadway San Diego and often go to LaJolla Playhouse and the Globe Theatre. I hope Whole Foods makes it worth losing the movie theatre at Flower Hill. I listen to audio books on my iPhone while I walk on the Del Mar beach. My favorite restaurants are Bankok Bay in Solana Beach and Q'ero in Encinitas.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Out to dinner with friends.

What is it about music that makes it a tool for activism and change?
No recent surgeon general nominee has had such a record of activism.
Still, the accusation of activism persists because it has too much cachet, too much historical valence to fade from view.
Cogswell's book most powerfully reminds you of the necessary mess of activism.
The activism, even amongst the community, was difficult and flinty.
The Mysticism he opposes is of the type that is virtually the negation of the activism which is to him fundamental.
This practical idealism Eucken described by the term "activism."
To recognise all this clearly is at the same time to acknowledge the superiority of activism over all mere Romanticism.
PEN grew quickly to become an international advocate for freedom of expression and continues its activism to this day.
It is detrimental to activism itself if it takes the problem of life lightly.

CES 2013: Belkin improves upon their WeMo brand with internet controlled light switch
We have said it before, and we will say it now: remote wireless controlling is the name of the game, when it comes to realm of domestic appliances. LG is already working on it, and so is Belkin with their WeMo range of home control products. In this regard, the company has just announced their WeMo light switch, a household lighting mechanism that can be remotely controlled from anywhere in the world via the glorious internet.
This interesting control mechanism fits directly into a home's existing electrical wiring. And, once the system is incorporated properly into the circuit, you can just turn on and off the whole host of lights in your house from anywhere point on the face of our Earth. This is because, the system is triggered by an internet controlled switch that operates over Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity.
As for its compatibility, the WeMo already works with any Wi-Fi router and iOS 5 (thus making the whole remote scope workable via Apple devices like iPhones and iPads). However, given Android's fascinating rise in the apps market in recent times, Belkin will also upgrade their software's compatibility with Ice Cream Sandwich aka Android 4.0, very shortly after the light switch's summer launch.
