Yamaha DTXPlorer Kit with Rock Band (or Guitar Hero) on Xbox 360

January 24, 2010 | 14 Comments

So I play guitar (a little) and I used to play Guitar Hero on PS2 from time to time. Last year, for Christmas we got an XBox 360 and it was my intention all along to get Guitar Hero World Tour or Rock Band to try the drums. Little did I know where it would [...]

CKEditor, enable the image or flash upload

January 22, 2010 | 1 Comment

CKEditor is a greatly improved version of the famous FCKEditor. The generated source code is clean and well indented, the whole thing loads faster and feels less buggy. It even looks better.

January 14, 2010 | 1 Comment

I use iCalBuddy and GeekTool to display the upcoming events from my calendar on my desktop.
When I started using Remember the Milk I decided I wanted my tasks to show on there, too.

One of the reasons I had to install GIT was to be able to install these GitHub hosted Textmate plugins I find useful. The most important one of them being Ack in Project. It is so much better and faster than the built-in search in project feature included with Textmate.
Here is a quick post about [...]
