automatically type PHP var_dump junk for debugging using applescript
ok, more grep fun, this time using an applescript that I did not originate. Man-o-man, I sure do type this a lot:
echo '<pre>'.var_dump($my_variable_here). '</pre>';
so, using the power of grep and now with someone’s great example apple script (sorry, i don’t know who you are), you can do this:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
replace “^(.*)$” using “echo ‘<pre>’.var_dump(\1). ‘</pre>’;” searching in selection of text window 1 options {search mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false}
set current glossary set to “HTML Glossary.html”
end tell
Now all I have to do is copy the variable to a new line, highlight it, and run the apple script. This is what you get:
$my_variable_hereturns into
echo ‘<pre>’.var_dump($my_variable_here). ‘</pre>’;
Now I don’t have to manually type this over and over. Yay!
Update: I think I did originate that applescript after all. I think i just recorded it by starting recording and doing a grep search in BBEdit. Haha. God, I love the Mac and BBEdit.

iron eyes cody
I’m having this flashback just now… I feel like I’ve written about this before, maybe in a physical journal somewhere. Maybe I’ll be able to reconcile my stories someday… a little fact-checking on myself.
Anyway, as I recall, sometime around 1988 or so, I got to go to a, what.. 70th? 80th? birthday party for one of my dad’s dad’s friends from the biz, so it was a california country western shindig. I was there with my dad and mom, and my grandma. She was the connection here. Everyone knew her.
It was at this really nice house in the san fernando valley that you’d never guess had this capacity to entertain a couple hundred people, but there we all were. This was an old-timer’s party. A few geriatric official famous people, or spouses of, but mostly children and grandchildren of the stars from the 1950’s era local television and radio stations.
Anyway, Iron Eyes Cody was there apparently, because someone walked over to the mixing board, cut in on the music, got on the PA and announced “Iron Eyes Cody has lost his battery for his camcorder. If you find it, well, he’s lookin’ fer it.”
The irony blindsided me. Iron Eyes Cody. Lost the battery to his camcorder? It was like one of those Jim-Morrison-peyote-trance moments where I’d been let in on a secret about hollywood. I’d seen the wiring under the floorboards. This was the native American who cried on TV because of litter. I ain’t frontin’, I’m at least a 2/8ths native myself. It was just a nugget, a slip. It was one of those things that probably didn’t stick out for anyone as unusual… but for me, well.. the power of those ad-council commercials on me was real.
Don’t litter, think of the native guy crying. Dude, that sucks, couldn’t you just throw your shit in the trash instead of being inconsiderate and littering? Check out my homeboy here, he’s hurt because of your litter. Fucking asshole, stop littering. Jesus!
alright, maybe I’m overstating it a bit for effect, but, that’s what those public service announcements did for me. They made me sensitive to litter. I try hard not to litter. It’s not because of Iron Eyes Cody anymore, it’s just the right thing to do. Maybe it is because of Iron Eyes Cody… Hmmmm.
Flash back to the party… He’s missing the battery for his camcorder… and all my imagery in my head about this guy comes smashing perpendicularly across reality.
You mean he doesn’t just wander around living off the land, teaching kids to be considerate about the environment? Having a camcorder is an adjunct to having a TV, which generally means he’s got a house somewhere. Gah, which means he’s just an actor being paid to cry to guilt me into not littering??
*reality crumbling*
the truth about Iron Eyes Cody turns out to be a shocker, btw.

Be Gentle with Yourself
There are no mistakes.”
Miles Davis
“It helps to realize that an airplane spends niety percent of its time in error. We need to look at that. If you could see that you can gett an airplane from New York to London, even while being in error ninety percent of the time, maybe you could be less critical of yourself. Maybe you would allow yourself to be in error. A sailboat cannot get from where it is to where it wants to go by traveling in a straight line. It has to zigzag. So in terms of a true course, it is always in error. What is important about a sailbot or and airrplane is that the errors cancel out.”
-Dr. Robert Anthony, “Beyond Positive Thinking”
I hope that helps.

something so wrong about bibleman
or whatever the fuck that story on boingboing was. I don’t even want to link to it because of how wrong it is. I figured it out:
Matthew 21:12
Jesus at the Temple
12Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
That’s just it for me. Using the bible, Jesus, God, faith, and so-called morality as a premise to sell your brainwashing in the form of Power Rangers look alike action… is probably not what Jesus would have thought to be “cool”. Somehow, it just seems like a subversion of the bible. And a marketing ploy. And a false premise. And brainwashing young impressionable minds. And just plain wrong.
I don’t claim to be a “deeply religious” person, but I have my deeply felt personal beliefs about my existence. Growing up the way I did, I just know in my heart that the concept of Jesus isn’t Jesus Co., LLP or Jesus Industries or even Jesus, Incorporated. These people who think that using the “word of God” to create an LLP, Co, or Inc. might have to have a 1 on 1 with the big dude when the game’s over.

I thought it was an interesting coincidence that a state with questionable presidential election results would be pummeled by hurricanes just before the next election. Then I thought it was an interesting coincidence that the storms spared Miami, who voted for Gore in 2000. Just out of curiosity, I overlaid two map: one of the tracks of the hurricanes of 2004, and one of the election results of 2000.This is no longer an interesting coincidence. It is an unmistakable message from God. I hope everyone is listening.
