Adding the current path to the Window PATH variable

jgeiger — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:10:11 +0000

I was trying to find a way to add my current directory plus a subdirectory to my PATH.

If you add ./subdirectory to your windows PATH environment variable it works and you can run anything in your current_dir/subdirectory.

Why blogs die…

jgeiger — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 12:59:31 +0000

From lack of posting. I just went through my google reader account and removed about 15-20 rails blogs that haven’t had a post in over a year. Then I thought about my own blog and realized I haven’t been posting at all. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a lot to post, but I do think it’s important that there is at least something there.

Hopefully I’ll be able to do more updates.

Why do American auto makers fail?

Chevy has been trying so long to be relevant that they’re willing to push the hype meter too far. If you’re claiming to have an electric car… build one. Don’t market it, publicize it and show it off as an electric car when really, it’s just another hybrid. You delayed 2 years… for this? Sad.

Wisconsin and drunk driving

jgeiger — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:08:01 +0000

I am embarrassed to be a resident of this state.

We’re just now passing a bill that makes your FIRST offense a crime? (and only if you have someone younger than 16 in the vehicle) And… after the FOURTH, that’s right 4 times, a felony.

Who is possibly thinking anything less than felony on the 2nd offense, and permanent loss of your driver’s license on the 3rd offense is acceptable?

How do our representatives get told to make these toothless laws? Oh, maybe because some of them have been arrested SEVEN times for DUI. And he thinks he deserves to keep his job…

The is NO EXCUSE for driving after drinking. If you need to drive, don’t drink before doing it. If you need to drink, then don’t drive afterward. It’s just that simple.

LeBron James and the number 23

jgeiger — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:37:50 +0000

I appreciate why he’s trying to do this, but really as I read somewhere, why stop there? Too many numbers in the NBA have an iconic meaning.

In the end, if you think about it, isn’t it to his benefit, for two reasons, to change is number?

1. Anyone seeing him play now, will still see 23 and think MJ. You can put it on “respect” but either way, it’s still “remember me, not him”.

2. Jersey sales. Hello? Who isn’t going to buy a LeBron 6 if you’re a fan? Get your Cleveland 6, and soon enough, your “insert team with the most money” 6.

Google Wave as the new irc or Basecamp

jgeiger — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:48:00 +0000

I was thinking about this last night, and Basecamp is a nice tool where people can collaborate and upload attachments, discuss, and post. This is really what Google Wave does, so once it gets out there, and into “private” wave hosts, Basecamp may have less utility.

If you think about Wave as an irc replacement, you’ve already got the archiving capability built in. Now, you’d need to set it up a bit differently, but now there’s a record of the conversations, and ordering.

Now if only I could find the invites for other people in my account.
