Solarized Theme for Alfred v2

Here's my solarized theme ported for alfred v2.  This is a direct port of my previous v1 solarized theme.

Download the v2 version (probably need to right-click + save) 

Enjoy -- how are you guys liking v2?

Save tons of time and never have to enter your email address again.

Here is a quick tip for my iphone using friends. May work for other phones too. 

If you're like me you have a lot of accounts all over the web. And if you're like me you sign up for these accounts using your email address. 

In my case that's 20 characters that need to be typed perfectly before you ever even get to your password. 

Well I came up with a way to reduce this typing workload by at least 80% -- keyboard shortcuts. 

Coop Controller V2!

Always turn your IR lights off when
you're not checking on your flock!
Some studies show they can see them!

I finally got around to ethernet-enabling our chicken coop door controller.  I'm using the arduino ethernet board to provide a simple api which allows me to update the open/close time and manually open the chicken coop door from my web browser or (cooler) my phone.

The time is still being read from a Realtime Clock module (RTC) and the open/close times are now being stored on the built-in eeprom (super easy thanks to EEPROMWriteAnything).  Both of these features are to ensure proper functionality can resume after a power outage, which ironically we just had this morning.

Prolog Day 2 - Prolog is magic?

I took a few weeks off because I had to go out of town, and go to "Yo Gabba Gabba! Live!" and then we had house guests, but I'm back in action and spent another day with prolog.

This language is very different from any other programming language I've encountered and to be honest I spent a long time today half-way confused about what I was doing.  And sometimes when I got the right answer from my prolog program it felt a little bit like magic.  I don't really like that feeling when I'm doing programming.  I'd expect most software engineers don't like magic, don't believe in magic, and have a need to know how each component works down to the lowest level.

Solarized Alfred Theme

Here's a solarized theme for alfred.  It's only the dark version since that's all I use.  feel free to tweak it to your exacting specifications but it should provide a decent baseline.

For those of you not familiar with what "solarized" means in the scope of color schemes find out more and download the theme after the break.

Don't Bite Your Friends!

Just a quick note to any other parents out there who have small children.  I know there are a LOT of kids shows with really annoying songs.  If you want to spare yourself the Backpack song from Dora, give Yo Gabba Gabba a try.  Click to find out why it's cool

Prolog - better than AmateurLog

Today was my first day playing with prolog.  Prolog is a very different language than anything I'm used to.  You don't tell it how to do something like with most programming languages. Instead you tell it what you want and the facts of the environment it has to work in and prolog does all the "how" for you.
