Book status report…the JS UI is alive!
Well that took a while. Back in September I opened a branch of Bookie to try to do some cool Backbone driven UI stuff. I decided that maintaining a separate mobile UI was going to kill me. So I needed … Continue reading →

An updated email config, 2 offlineimap, mutt, and dovecot ftw!

Been a good summer, fitness, woodworking, and new job coming soon…
I’m very late on a bunch of weekly status reports, but I’ve got good reason I promise. This summer has been a bit of a “summer of change” for me. Perhaps more renovation than change. First, I decided I was sick of looking and feeling like crap and got into a weight loss program. I’ve [...]

Bookie weekly status report: Sept 18 2011
Updates this week Slow week. The changes to the fulltext search involved a small bug in updating the tag_str property of the bookmark. I got this fixed and added a migration to rebuilt the tag_str for all bookmarks in the system. The big sign of this was that the edit ui wasn’t showing the tags [...]
