moving circleofdads to XMPP

so it's def time to get this thing off facebook

proposal

I propose XMPP cuz it's open/federated/standard/makes me nostalge for AIM

I also thought about Slack cuz it's trendy. maybe that is the better option and we will switch. Let's try this first.

amonks

game = {
  player: {
    starting_moment: "go home"
  },
  moments: [
    {
      title: "go home",
      image: "home.jpg",
      text: "you live here",
      // you have two clickable options: "look at all your shit.", and "text arjun about maybe having a show"

amonks

// game.js

Game = {
  // this title shows up on the top of the page
  "title": "Demo Sidevalve Adventure",

  // this text shows up in the `about` popup
  "about": "This is a *super* cool demo game about weed.",

  // this theme is used in the game

amonks

function fish_prompt
	
  if not set -q -g __fish_robbyrussell_functions_defined
    set -g __fish_robbyrussell_functions_defined
    function _git_branch_name
      echo (git symbolic-ref HEAD ^/dev/null | sed -e 's|^refs/heads/||')
    end
	
    function _is_git_dirty
      echo (git status -s --ignore-submodules=dirty ^/dev/null)

Peer Production in the Museum Context: a Strategic Plan for the Future

Andrew Monks, May 7, 2015

Abstract

Museums could increase their ability to accomplish their missions using limited resources by leveraging peer production economies. They could become the canonical reference source for information within their field, and they could harness the work of a large online community to create and improve their educational resources. By accomplishing those two things, a museum can establish itself as the primary academic entity in its field, bringing attention and centralizing research and content production. Over the next year, I will create a software package and a documented procedure which museums can follow to accomplish these two goals.

What The Hell Is Testing?

If you've spent any time in programming circles in the last few¹ years, you've probably heard people talk about writing tests.

If you're self-taught, there's a decent chance you have no idea what they're talking about.

Why test?

Let's say you're writing a pluralizer. You have a main function, pluralize(), which takes a string and returns a plural version of that string.

amonks

class String
  def rot num = 13
    self.upcase.split("").collect { |char|
      ((char.ord - 'A'.ord + num) % 26 + 'A'.ord).chr()
    }.join()
  end

  def tryRot
    (0..26).each do |i|
      p "#{i}: '#{self.rot(i)}'"
