Bash completion for diskutil (and others…)
March 12th, 2010 — Random Observation
A few of the tools I use have spent some time working up bash completing. django-admin and virtualenvwrapper to name two. As a Mac sysadmin I use a number of CLI tools for stuff, and was interested in working up some bash completion for these.
Integrating a paper based stage in a digital workflow with Django and QR code
March 8th, 2010 — Random Observation
There are several procedural things at work that still involve a signature, or hand written note on a piece of paper. This reality has made it hard to digitize these practices. While much of the process could be replace with a web app, with plenty of benefits. The reality is that because the paper step is required, the process would become disjointed. One way to reconcile the paper with the digital record, is to scan in the signed document and attach it to the digital record. However this doesn’t pass my “ugh” test in that even with ajax, manually attaching scanned documents to the correct record is still a tedious process. That is where qrcode comes in.
