Well, it’s been a long spell since the last paktahn release. There are reasons for it but I’m just glad we got the release out. The “big feature” of the release is AUR updates which I am happy to have implemented. I wouldn’t have been able to get it done if versioning support hadn’t been [...]
This post is likely to be a bit scattered. Partially because I need to get back to doing homework in a minute but also because my brain has been in a lot of places lately. So here’s a linkpost with thoughts on IP Law, Linux and other stuff. I also have a bunch of Lisp [...]
So the last time I really blogged about RedLinux was back in September 08 when I made the first release. I kept tweaking things now and again but at this point I’ve got something that I’m really not messing with very often. I’ve christened it “Redlinux v.20″ and I’m planning on trying to make releases [...]
This post has everything. It seems like a lot has happened in the past day or two. I’m all wrapped up preparing for a test tomorrow but there are other interesting things afoot. Teresa turned 20 today and there’s going to be a party in her honor on Sunday. Kernel 2.6.29 has been released, it [...]
I can’t believe it’s only been 8 days since I posted last. Life has been moving at an insane speed but I’ve been really happy. A lot of things are just sort of coming together lately and I have to say it’s a pretty pleasant change of pace. Dad’s on the mend. We don’t have [...]
I didn’t even realize I hadn’t posted in over a week. I just got through the first big “crunch period” in school and did pretty well. This weekend will be relaxation and unwinding to a pretty large extent. So what’s happened besides the school stuff? I got Street Fighter IV. I am planning on throwing [...]
Before I forget it or fail to version it somewhere I want to post the contents of my .hgignore file. You may or may not find it useful if you’re a mercurial user but it’s really for me. syntax: glob *.elc *.orig *~ \#* .DS_Store unversioned/* .hgrc .hgignore
It’s been a pretty eventful holiday season. I wrecked my Maxima on Dad’s birthday (the 23rd), in particular. I didn’t want to mention something until I had a concrete opinion to express and now I do. It was for the best. Seriously. I had spent considerable amounts of money trying to keep the car in [...]
As I mentioned before, I have been hankering for a nice, shiny new ultraportable for almost a year and Christmas came early in 2008. I settled on a Lenovo Thinkpad X200 (formerly IBM) for a number of reasons. 1) It has a dock. I really wanted something with a dock since I’ll be commuting with [...]
It’s official. I’m not dead. I mean, 4 weeks without posting? I’m pretty sure that’s a personal record. A variety of things have been going on, mostly positive. I spent Thanksgiving meeting the parents of my girlfriend (you know, Teresa?) in Virginia. We had volunteered to cook while we were up which went smoothly, to [...]
