I talk a lot about having ADHD. Between this blog, Twitter, my own podcasts, and many that I’ve guested on, I find ADHD easy to talk about. And people are, for the most part, receptive to hearing about it. As a disorder, it’s generally understood. It doesn’t scare people.

Now that I’m once again spending a significant amount of time creating and editing podcasts, it’s leaving less time for consistent blogging. So, to bridge the divide a bit, I’m going to get back into blogging about the podcasts. Look for weekly (as I’m able) recaps of both Systematic and Overtired under one heading: “The Podcasts.” This by no means means I’m giving up on blogging all of my crazy experiments and Web Excursions and all the other stuff I do here, but…

As I’ve mentioned a few places lately, I’ve been working on getting both of my podcasts, Systematic and Overtired, back up and running after a long hiatus. I’m excited to announce that both are now going full steam.

I’ve been recording new episodes of Systematic and Overtired over the last couple of weeks (more on that soon). As part of the “reboot,” I’ve been refining my podcasting setup a bit. After some experimentation, I thought I’d share what hardware and software I’ve landed on (for now).

A long while back I linked a CLI called . It’s an excellent little tool that searches StackOverflow for code examples for any given query. It recently updated, so I thought I’d try my hand at a LaunchBar action for it.

Recently I ran into issues trying to install new rubies with RVM. All of my errors centered around , and they took me a fair amount of time to resolve. So I’m putting this up mostly as notes to myself and hopefully to help anyone else who runs into this.

I’ve been meaning to create a command line utility for Hook.app for a while now. I’ve mentioned Hook before, but if you haven’t heard of it, it’s a powerful Mac productivity tool which creates and navigates links between documents, urls, and even things like OmniFocus tasks. I wanted to have some of its power in my terminal.

I know you need an nvUltra update, so I’ll attempt that in less than 50 words: 99% finished, beta testing going well, couple bugs left, need to finalize our pricing model. Our personal lives are dictating release timing, and it may be out another month or so. I promise a more thoughtful update soon.

If you’ve noticed SearchLink suddenly started returning raw DuckDuckGo links, you’re not alone. I’m not sure exactly what changed, but I had to make some changes in the processing of the results to get it back on track. There’s a new version (2.2.15) available for download, below or on the project page.

It’s time again for the SummerFest Artisinal Software sale. Featuring 13 first-in-class Mac apps including Tinderbox, DEVONthink, and TextExpander, every app defines their own discount and is purchased separately. No bundles full of software you don’t need, and developers get to keep their profits instead of losing them to organizers. I highly recommend checking it out and seeing if there’s any software you need on the docket.
