Actually, it's not much of an adventure so much as a reminder. I'm used to doing software RAID on Linux with mdadm and am fully comfortable with the commandline tools -- in fact, I prefer them to any GUI tools that may or may not be out there (for example, if …

I've had no time to do any coding lately, which makes me sad, but when I did have time and was doing lots of commits in short periods of time, I definitely felt like doing this. Many many times.

Today I got more work done on my sleeve, but I'd neglected to post (and even take!) pictures of the next-to-last session. So if you look at Flickr you'll see the last bits I got done (the flaming cross and re-darkening the tribal Jesus), but not the stuff before that …

The blog needed an updated look. I think I kinda like this new look. Much cleaner and sharper.

I think I'm going to be doing more "life" blogging from this point forward. The tech stuff is important, but so is "real life". So there should be more stuff of the …

I saw this on Facebook today and, thankfully, it's also on their blog. I've always liked the idea of "Inbox Zero" and have even gotten my inbox to zero a few times since I started (mostly)-seriously using GTD. Sadly, I'm not there anymore due to how crazy work has …

I've been programming in Python for a few years now (I can pretty much mark the beginning because of starting at Red Hat). Since picking it up, I've fallen in love with the language and have a few books on the subject. One of the most indispensable books I have …

This just absolutely blew my mind so I figured I'd post a quick note about it. I have to convert a CVS repository to SVN and this is a big repository, over 33k commits to it spanning a decade. In my trial runs, using cvs2svn resulted in it taking just …

There's something about NAS units that makes me happy. Tiny little boxes full of storage and ripe for mucking with since for the most part they run Linux make me all warm and fuzzy and just generally put me in a good mood. Probably because I'm a bit of a …

I've been working with bugzilla for years.. at Mandriva I was the primary bugzilla care-taker for a few years, and now with Red Hat I do a lot of work on some internal tools that interface with bugzilla that enhances and directs the workflow of day-to-day work (being that we …

I know I've written about this in the past (here and here), but I needed to do another conversion the other day that was similar, yet different. Previous posts talked about pulling parts of a subversion repository into a git repo -- effectively taking one svn repo apart into multiple git …
