Dash: snippets & documentation

18 November 2013 by kristarella 3 Comments

I’ve been using Dash as one of my code snippet managers (along with Gist for public snippets & Coda). I originally chose Dash for its shortcut auto-fill features (and it’s free with in-app upgrade on the Mac App Store!), but have recently found its offline documentation completely excellent.

IFTTT: if this then that

27 July 2012 by kristarella

You might have heard of If This Then That. I had, but hadn’t gotten to using it. Then a client asked about plugins for publishing new post links to Facebook and I realised I wasn’t happy with the plugin I was using for posting links to Facebook and Twitter. Enter IFTTT!

11 November 2009 by kristarella

Popup EXIF display with Thesography and jQuery

18 October 2009 by kristarella

I received a request to make Thesography display EXIF upon hover over an image instead of just displaying as more text in the post. While I won’t include that kind of function in the plugin at this time (because I’m not sure how best to do it while maintaining a good amount of flexibility), I […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
