My previous post announced a Rust-based command line tool for generating Quarto projects from Observable Notebooks. Some folks may not want to use yet-another command line tool, and it dawned on me that it’d be more convenient to just do the conversion in-browser when one is already on a Notebook page. So, I dusted off… Continue reading

Pipes (%>%) Everywhere
An R user asked a question regarding whether it’s possible to have the RStudio pipe (%>%) shortcut (Cmd-Shift-M) available in other macOS applications. If you’re using Alfred then you can use this workflow for said task (IIRC this requires an Alfred license which is reasonably cheap). When you add it to Alfred you must edit… Continue reading
Adding a CRAN Search Engine to Chrome
Riffing off of [the previous post](http://rud.is/b/2015/08/05/speeding-up-your-quests-for-r-stuff/), here’s a way to quickly search CRAN (the @RStudio flavor) from the Chrome search bar. – Paste `chrome://settings/searchEngines` into your location bar and hit return/enter – Scroll down until the input boxes show, enabling you to add a search engine – For _”Add a new search engine”_ put “`CRAN`”… Continue reading
Speeding Up Your Quest(s) For “R Stuff”
I use Google quite a bit when conjuring up R projects, whether it be in a lazy pursuit of a PDF vignette or to find a package or function to fit a niche need. Inevitably, I’ll do something like [this](https://www.google.com/#q=cran+shapefile) (yeah, I’m still on a mapping kick) and the first (and best) results will come… Continue reading
Alternative to Grouped Bar Charts in R
The #spiffy @dseverski gave me this posit the other day: Hey, @hrbrmstr, doughnut chart aside, how would you approach the first graph at http://t.co/zjHoHRVOeo? Bump chart? Trend line? Leave as is? — David F. Severski (@dseverski) October 25, 2013 and, I obliged shortly thereafter, but figured I’d toss a post up on the blog before… Continue reading
IP Intelligence Lookup Chrome Extension
The topic of “IP intelligence” gets a nod in the book that @jayjacobs & I are writing and it was interesting to see just how many sites purport to “know something” about an IP address. I shamelessly admit to being a Chrome user and noticed there were no tools that made it possible to right-click… Continue reading
Chrome App for Tiny Tiny RSS
I’m still getting my self-hosted [Tiny Tiny RSS](http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki) configuration just the way I want it prior to doing a full blog post on it, but I thought it would be helpful to share a basic Chrome App for it. I ended up creating it to replace the Google Reader Chrome App icon. Making these “Chrome… Continue reading
CVE Queries Right From Your Browser’s Address Bar
I’m not sure why I never did this earlier, but a post on LifeHacker gave me an idea to add location bar quick search of CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), no doubt due to their example on searching LifeHacker for “security”. My two favorite sites for searching CVE specifics are, at present, Risk IO’s and… Continue reading
