Domain-Driven Design

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Thomas said this book is paradigm shifting.

What little I know about Domain-Driven design makes me think about using Domain-Driven Design to teach computer science+social justice in the same way that the Algebra Project is trying to develop a math curriculum based on real-world stories that include social justice themes.

my first firefox extension! a NATO phonetics converter

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

My paid job is doing tech-support work and I often have to convey information to users over the phone.  To make sure we’re on the same page with spellings, I use the NATO phonetic alphabet.  But, I can never remember certain letters.  One solution would be to just remember the NATO alphabet.  Or, I could just write a Firefox extension that lets you select text, click on “Show NATO Phonetics” in the context menu, and get a popup of the phonetics for the selected text.

community blog hacking

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

Spent a good amount of time fruitlessly looking for how to get future posts to show up in RSS feed (to allow syndication of events). The place to start looking is in the main method of the WP class (wp-inst/wp-includes/classes.php). Just follow the sub-methods and the relevent code is in there somewhere.

Update: look for the ‘//BOOKMARK’ comment to see where I was looking last.
