Omniboard | 1klb Omniboard = OmniFocus + Kanban Omniboard is a pure ruby library to generate kanban boards from OmniFocus databases. It sources its data directly from your local OmniFocus XML library, bypassing the OmniFocus application. This has a number of advantages over previous methods of fetching data, including: You no longer need an OmniFocus 2 Pro license in order to fetch data via ScriptingBridge.You no longer need to have OmniFocus open in order to fetch data.You no longer need to run two separate programs, using a database as an intermediary.You have full access to all project, folder, task and context data from within the one program. While kanban-fetch ran on top of the sinatra web framework, Omniboard instead generates a static webpage for you to move around and use as you see fit. You will need In order to run Omniboard, you will need (obviously) to have an OmniFocus license and be using OmniFocus for all of your projects. To install Omniboard comes as a ruby gem. Running with pow
Rails 3: Fully Loaded It's been close to a year since Rails 3 came out and I've had the pleasure of working on several Rails 3 projects since its release. Some existing gems became irrelevant with the release of Rails 3, while others lived. Additionally, we've seen many new gems come to life. Most of these gems have good documentation on their project wiki (every great gem should be well documented, right?) Here we go: » Authentication The above two are really amazing gems for speeding up your authentication. » Access Control Ryan is a star in the Rails world, so naturally his CanCan gem is really popular, but with good reason: it does really powerful authorization. » Views/Page and Admin Scaffold From a front-end perspective, I suggest you might want to try the above gems to speed up and simplify your UI design process. » Quick SNS » Form and Related Tools Most of the above gems are famous through RailsCasts. » Search Solutions In regards to search in Rails, I bet there are some strong opinions out there.
kanban-fetch | 1klb Note: I’ve stopped developing kanban-fetch, in order to focus on the pure ruby combination of rubyfocus/omniboard. This page won’t be going anywhere, but Omniboard is slowly going to outstrip kanban-fetch in terms of features and (probably) reliability. Kanban-fetch is a simple objective-c program to fetch your OmniFocus projects and turn them into a SQLite database. You will need: In order to run kanban-fetch you will need either: A copy of OmniFocus 1, orA copy of OmniFocus 2 Pro Due to the restrictions on AppleScript support, kanban-fetch is not supported by OmniFocus 2 standard. Installation Install from source. Running Open up terminal and cd to the appropriate folder. On a good day, you should get an output that looks like the following: Your data will now be written to the file foo.db. Excluding folders If you’re like me, you have projects that just don’t need to appear on your Kanban board. Running periodically Installing the front-end It looks like you’re in the right place. You will need
Getting Started with Rails 1 Guide Assumptions This guide is designed for beginners who want to get started with a Rails application from scratch. It does not assume that you have any prior experience with Rails. Rails is a web application framework running on the Ruby programming language. Be aware that some resources, while still excellent, cover versions of Ruby as old as 1.6, and commonly 1.8, and will not include some syntax that you will see in day-to-day development with Rails. 2 What is Rails? Rails is a web application development framework written in the Ruby programming language. Rails is opinionated software. The Rails philosophy includes two major guiding principles: Don't Repeat Yourself: DRY is a principle of software development which states that "Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system." 3 Creating a New Rails Project The best way to read this guide is to follow it step by step. 3.1 Installing Rails Open up a command line prompt. 9 Security
Scripting a Kanban View - Inside OmniFocus My name is Jan-Yves Ruzicka and I’m a recent Chemistry Ph.D. graduate from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. In my spare time I’m somewhat enthusiastically involved in roleplaying and story-gaming, as well as keeping up a hobby of coding in ruby and Cocoa/Objective-C (which I document on my blog.) I got interested in Getting Things Done during my Honours year (2008), and I haven’t looked back. My OmniFocus activity revolves around three activities: capture, organisation, and doing. Capture is the most boring step. Organisation is something that I still struggle to get exactly right. The process of doing happens in the context view. My OmniFocus Perspectives palette in Keyboard Maestro. A big motivator for me comes from Leo Babuta’s Zen To Done. I end up using a couple of AppleScripts and associated tools to automate segments of my workflow. Kanban While OF is a great tool, I feel its list-based view falls short at the “big picture” level.

What’s Safer From Hackers: A PC or a Mac? Mac vs. PC. (Images by Thinkstock/Apple/Microsoft, modified by Yahoo Tech) Apple’s vaunted reputation for safety and security has taken some hits recently. Just this week came news of DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE — a bug in Apple’s OS X operating system that has allowed a malicious program to take complete control of Macs. This isn’t to pick on Apple too much. Before you compare OS X and Windows, you have to remember that security is about more than just the operating system: The biggest threats can run on both platforms. So we decided to take a look at the big picture, comparing Windows and OS X on overall hackability. Both PCs and Macs have plenty of security bugs When it comes to security flaws, Windows and OS X are now about tied, says Morey Haber, VP of technology at corporate security software maker BeyondTrust. Macs make up less than 10 percent of today’s computer market. Macs’ biggest security asset is basic economics. Web browsers and plugins are the main targets Apply OS updates
The Everything Machine by Tinybop 4 Essential Rules Of 21st Century Learning 4 Essential Rules Of 21st Century Learning by Jennifer Rita Nichols The term “21st century” has become an integral part of educational thinking and planning for the future. Educators and administrators are actively searching for ways to prepare students for the future, and the educational system has been evolving faster than ever before. Various studies have shown us that rote memorization is not an effective learning strategy, and that teacher-centered classrooms may not be the most efficiently structured ones for student engagement. However, despite learning about the skills that students will need to develop to become successful in the 21st century, as well as what beliefs about education may be worth hanging onto or throwing away, schools and teachers are left trying to figure out what their role needs to be in the education of their 21st century students. Nowadays, we don’t live in the same world. So then, what is the role of education in the 21st century? Society has changed. 1. 2. 3.
Blended Learning Definitions The definition of blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns: at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace;at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home;and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience. The majority of blended-learning programs resemble one of four models: Rotation, Flex, A La Carte, and Enriched Virtual. The Rotation model includes four sub-models: Station Rotation, Lab Rotation, Flipped Classroom, and Individual Rotation. 1. Rotation model — a course or subject in which students rotate on a fixed schedule or at the teacher’s discretion between learning modalities, at least one of which is online learning. a. b. c. d. 2. 3. 4.

Why?: The Meaning Behind Trash | K-Pop Amino So, since I'm not a super k-pop fan like many of you I have decided to start a blog series called "Why". Each week or so I will post a new blog about questions I have regarding the k-pop Universe and I'll also share some of my criticisms over the topic of said week. For this week I want to know about the term "trash". So, why trash? Trash is a rather derogatory term and I don't really understand why people want to be called trash. Personally, I wouldn't want to label myself as that. So, why degrade yourself. Disclaimer: This post is for the most part satarical. Difference Engine: The woes of Windows 10 DESPITE its having been available for 18 months, three out of four PC owners have not bothered to upgrade their computers to the latest version of Microsoft's operating system, Windows 10. More than 700m of the world's 1.5bn or so computers continue to run on Windows 7, a piece of software three generations old. A further 300m users have stuck with other versions—half of them stubbornly (and rashly) clinging to 16-year-old Windows XP that Microsoft pensioned off three years ago. That said, some 400m or so copies of Windows 10 are now thought to be in circulation. Can Windows 10 do the same? Things were dandy during the first 12 months following Windows 10's carefully orchestrated launch in July 2015, when upgrades were free for existing users of Windows 7 or 8.1. According to Net Applications, a web analytics firm, Windows 10 accounts for a shade over 24% of all computer operating systems. Some suggest that Windows 10’s share is actually bigger than 24%.
