Sorry about the increased volume of posts, but now that rst2wp is totally working, I have a backlog of posts to go through.
Seen on Pixelstyle.
Vastly old news by now, but it’s kind of surprising how fast this blew over: source on Slashdot.
Several readers sent in word that Google has served a Cease and Desist order to Cyanogen, one of the most prolific Android modders: his CyanogenMod is enjoyed by 30,000 users. The move is puzzling. Gizmodo wonders what Google’s game is, and Lauren Weinstein calls the move "not of the high ‘Googley’ caliber" that one would expect of the company.
I’d like to clarify that while I bought a G1, this kind of bullshit is why I’m so dissatisfied. This is what I wanted to get away from. I’m keeping an eye on the N900, let me tell you!
Those of you who care about version control should be aware of Fossil. Distributed version control, like NoSQL databases, has rapidly sprouted a ton of contenders like mushrooms, and I’m not especially convinced of this one’s superiority to the incumbents (i.e. git, bzr, or darcs).
In addition to doing distributed version control like Git and Mercurial, Fossil also supports distributed bug tracking and distributed wiki all in a single integrated package… Fossil has a built-in and easy-to-use web interface that simplifies project tracking and promotes situational awareness. Simply type "fossil ui" from within any check-out and Fossil automatically opens your web browser in a page that gives detailed history and status information on that project.
