  • ? @johnnieingram: And to prove that the Guardian still publishes brilliance as well as bullshit, I present http://is.gd/fvzdm (via @qwghlm). #
  • Dealing with colleagues takes a lot of energy! #
  • About 10 hours after the first, I'm now off to the 2nd #ashtanga session… still feeling good about it, let's see what I say afterwards :-) #
  • I'm actually feeling great after my second #ashtanga session, was worried I'd be completely knackered, but no, light step, light mind. #
  • Judgement of Paris (Wine): http://is.gd/fBQah and a re-match 30 years later: http://is.gd/fBQed #
  • Yay, I have virtual folders in #dovecot *with* keywords. Brilliant! #

  • Åh vad besviken jag är på svenska folket, alliansen får 4 år till på sig att montera ned välfärden. #

  • #zsh completion is driving me insane! #
  • Having a look at the small mess re ocamlgraph in #aur three packages, all up-to-date, one orphaned, other two differ in dep on findlib. #

Dent Weekly Updates for 2010-09-19

  • Laws of Software Evolution Revisited: Interesting, nothing too surprising, always nice to refer to laws though: http://tinyurl.com/35ryjwn #
  • #lightspark isn't working out of the box :( #
  • identi.ca offers a twitter-like API (in many cases it's a drop-in replacement); does it support OAuth now that twitter uses it? #
  • Just in case someone needs to get #pino working with twitter *NOW*: http://tinyurl.com/3x4s6kh #
  • I'm not happy, an update to #wp twitter-tools make it difficult to use it for identi.ca :( #
  • #align is a useful #vim plugin: Align! –P0l: ' #
  • It gets crazier and crazier: http://tinyurl.com/3adwpah #
  • Trying out #chromium not sure I'll make the switch due to lack of It's All Text! #
  • Tired this morning, cheating, only 30 min #yoga spread over 50 min due to interruptions from a very persistent, small, charming person. #
  • Hmm, it runs deep in the chruch it seems :http://failblog.org/2010/09/15/epic-fail-photos-vitraux-fail/ #
  • The volume indicator on my #arch #gnome is gaudy! How do I get the simple one back again? #
  • Yay, new #yoga mat bag on the way! #
  • Hmm, #chromium crashes when I try to delete a post on identi.ca. Fascinating! #
  • I'll keep #chromium for some minor stuff (facebook, google reader, …) but lack of tags for bookmarks means it can't replace #firefox #
  • Just dropped using #HTF in favour of #test framework-th. An improvement. #haskell #
  • "Towards Hard Real-Time Erland" (http://is.gd/feE4L) decent paper, but postponing the really difficult bits (GC, message passing). #
  • MongoDB is web scale: http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/6995033/ #
  • If Britain turns humourless then there's really no point to it as a country: http://is.gd/feMk5 #twitterjoketrial #
  • Brilliant coverage of the Pope arriving in Edinburgh: http://is.gd/feNJv #

Dent Weekly Updates for 2010-09-05

  • Yay, my unassisted head stand from last week wasn't just a fluke! #
  • Argh! I can't get to my kiwilight account today :-( Hopefully access will be restored shortly. I rely on it for ~/ ver ctrl and more. #
  • First attempt at John Scott's Beginner Level 2. Went all right. #ashtanga #
  • Is it possible to mount an ISO image using udisks? #linux #udisks #
  • So now #oasis builds again in #arch :-) #ocaml #

  • Doc author at work just had a helpdesk person point out that there is an on-off button on the back of the computer that refused to turn on. #
  • Re-doing #knightrider probably looked like a good idea on paper! #
  • So, that's fileutils updated on #aur after being bitten by a missing x86_64 5 times this week. #ocaml #arch #
  • Article on trasactional memory, not that interesting, but a decent high-level introduction I suppose: http://tinyurl.com/25fn8t4 #
  • Decided to cancel my gym membership. Instead I'll step up the #yoga by going to a proper yoga centre. #
  • Yay! Finally I've made use of ExistentialQuantification, #haskell #

Dear Google Code,

I’m impressed that you sent me an email asking for my input when someone wanted to use the project name bunny just because I happen to have a project called bunny on SourceForge1. However, neither your email, nor the page where I can record my opinion gives me enough information to decide. Please consider at least including in future emails the description of the proposed project.

Thank you!

Dent Weekly Updates for 2010-08-22

  • #ubuntu devs, what are you smoking? the netbook remix includes cups! WTF? #
  • Have now heavily modified some Ubuntu packages to remove the more insane bits: openoffice, cups, f-spot, tomboy #
  • Yay, finally gotten some of the craziness out of #ubuntu netbook remix. Still a few things remaining, but much better now. #
  • I never manage to get empathy to work on #arch not sure why. #
  • It's painfully slow to download #PaulDotCom e206 this morning! #
  • I now have #empathy working at work, at least a bit, no luck with using #pidgin #039;s sipe though :( #
  • I really don't like when people cancel a meeting 2 minuntes before it starts! #
  • World map of happiness: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/11/061113093726.htm (well, not really a map, an article about such a map) #
  • #microsoft really, it's 2010!!! How difficult is it to make re-sizable dialogue boxes? #
  • What a straw man argument! I was expecting better: http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com/2010/08/ms-dos-security-model.html #
  • Yay, managed to remove the use of MissingH in a #haskell tool. That's always a good thing :-) #
  • I suspect I've found a bug in cmdargs 0.2, however it only manifests itself when building with Cabal. Very strange. #haskell #
  • Ouch, vimoutliner can't be downloaded from the project site, just when I really could need it :-( Anyone out there who has a copy to share? #
  • I wonder if it's the upgrade to #ocaml 3.12 that broke the building of ocaml-data-notation. #
  • I've finally gotten around to finding out how to build #archlinux packages in a chroot. #
  • Worth watching for anyone using functional languages: http://vimeo.com/14313378 #
  • I'm reading complaints from devs running Windows that they need to install a Unix emulator to use Haskell. I love it! #
