Neil Crosby's vCard

Web developer, problem solver, tinkerer, sharer. Or for more information about me enter a. I am Neil Crosby, a web developer who likes to scratch an itch and solve problems. According to my friends, I own half the domains on the internet, but things really aren't that bad yet. I'm a huge fan of continuous and automated testing of code. I feel that automated testing has a large role to play in reducing the "dumbass" mistakes which everyone makes, no matter how good they are at their jobs. This is ...I wea...

A Useful CVS Status Checker

http://www.workingwith.me.uk/blog/a_useful_cvs_status_checker

Chewie is my co-pilot. A Useful CVS Status Checker. Posted by Neil Crosby. On February 16, 2008 04:15 PM. Cvs status 2 /dev/null grep Status: grep -v "to-date". That’s what I use on the command line to see which files aren’t up to date within my CVS tree at work (at home I use SVN, which in my opinion is a lot nicer). If you’re interested, here’s what each bit of that command does:. Just does the normal CVS command to tell you the status of each file. Pipes the previous ouput through. Grep -v "to date".

Twitter Bots

http://www.workingwith.me.uk/blog/twitter_bots

Who must explain the hard things? Posted by Neil Crosby. On March 19, 2008 12:19 PM. So, this last weekend was BarCamp Brighton 2. I’ve already posted about that elsewhere. But what I haven’t blogged about yet is my talk. Recently I’ve been playing around with Twitter Bots. I had a need to be able to let just the people I work with when someone had brought food into the office, so I created yahoofood. I wanted near real-time updates of when The Ten Word Review. Was updated, so I created the ttwr. How to ...

I wear the t-shirt. it does not wear me. Workingwith.me.uk is the brainchild of standard evangelist Neil Crosby.

From digg and del.icio.us over the new year and latterly by the fantastic take up of my Standardista Table Sorting. Who lives and works in London.

Ignoring Bots in IRC Channels using Colloquy

A message for the poodle in your pocket. Ignoring Bots in IRC Channels using Colloquy. Posted by Neil Crosby. On March 8, 2008 11:07 AM. My first attempt to do this didn’t turn out so well. I use Colloquy. Rooting around the application, I found the place that controls how people and messages get ignored. How do you get there? Open the “Window” menu and select “Connections”. Select the server that you’d like to set up ignore rules for, and click on the “Info” icon. Select the “Ignores” tab. 8221; You see...

Of course, the number of times I’ve seen them used the right way recently can be counted on one hand. So why should you get rid of tables? Here are my top reasons to go table free.
