yelyah - “broken in every way 20111016” piano improv
There I finally programmed something today.
The amusing bit was thinking that I’d use the midnight EDT tumblr upload deadline as a way to force me into productive mode so that I could announce the new feature in this post.
And then I realized that I hadn’t even installed my editing tools.
Yeah, technically I could’ve just used vi at the command line, but damn I be picky. So I grabbed MacVim and found my backed up vim configs and did manage to get everything going. Well, after all of the yard bus errors trying to get middleman installed (which I “fixed” by switching to ruby 1.9.3rc1 where it managed to install).
As to the new feature? In and of itself, it took about 30 seconds to implement. But it was all of the surrounding tasks that I was procrastinating on. Like finding my old ssh keys and fun like that. Really, this whole thing was just about kicking my butt into gear by doing something.
The new feature on earthquakes today is a tiny little map to show you where the specific quake was.
It’s a small step forward for the site but a huge step forward for me out of the procrastination zone.
I hope.
