The Fedora Users and Developers Conference is on Friday. Weather permitting, I’ll be flying up to Boston to attend tomorrow night.
In no particular order, here are the parts of FUDCon I am looking forward to:
Cold Boston weather means I can wear my parka.
Riding the subway.
Meeting Mr. Katz and Mr. Vidal in person.
The yum hackfest.
Getting a [...]

I’m still playing around with the new hotness that is wordpress. This is me using the ‘blog this’ feature in [...]
Where possible, I use git for my scm now. All software on dangerously incompetent is stored in git, and I do my personal yum work with git-cvsimport. One of the reasons I like git so much is git-rebase. Here’s an example of how it works:

I heard about SLOCCount the other day from Caolan McNamara’s post on Fedora People.
Besides just counting source lines of code, SLOCCount also outputs some quick COCOMO calculations. According to these figures, wuja cost would around $55,265 to produce if it were written by paid programmers. Pretty neat.

This is, of course, a reply to Devan’s post about the Z shell, as I was one of the curious folks always bugging him about why he used it.
First, the one advantage I know of that zsh has over bash: It lets me say “The Zed Shell” which is great fun down here in North [...]
I’ve moved my blog and associated pages from Dal CS to the dangerously incompetent data center. Also, I’ve moved it from pybloxsom to wordpress, mainly because of what Marc has written about it. So far I’m very impressed.
The most difficult thing has been setting up redirects from my old cs pages to these new ones, [...]
Yup.
Marc’s reply to my chart is right on the money. Some of the words I chose were intentionally over the top, when they probably shouldn’t have been. I should also mention that Marc is someone that I greatly respect, and look up to. I may not agree with how he chooses to supplement his [...]
On the planet, a certain blogger has been writing sponsored blog posts (aka selling out to the man). This blogger is free to do whatever they feel is acceptable, I suppose. What follows is an infographic generated from posts made by said blogger since the start of December.
Only 45% of the content is not [...]
