@dave@davebucklin.com Have you checked https://github.com/jarun/Buku, the highly delicious bookmark manager? I really like it!

I’m managing some wordpress instances and it’s not smooth sailing

the odyssey but set in the hypnopelago, dreamer trying to return to the waking state but never quite managing, angering many dream gods,

@kas@enotty.dk Yeah, ranger is cool, but i have to admit that i just start mc when i need a “graphical” file manager

New repository: aquilax/audiobook - Simple Audiobook manager

“but auntie, weren’t those full of bigotry, CP spam and unfiltered memetic waste? did you not get mindrot?” “…we managed.”

You carry out a heist on Pandora’s box to free Hope’s little sister, but only manage to let Heispair and Fumousity escape. Good job hero~

Can anybody recommend a webbased ldap account manager other than lamcms that can run custom scripts?

I think I managed to fix it. It was probably a holdover from the pre-Go time parsing/formatting

Good office slave manual
Yegor Bugayenko has a few tips—a short manual, per se—to help us be good office slaves.

Don’t Nag. No matter what is happening, you should never criticize your direct manager. The boss is always right. Everything else may be wrong — the situation, colleagues, suppliers, computers, the CEO, investors, the market, or the weather, but not the boss you directly report to. The word of this person is the law. The boss is the god. … ⌘ Read more

Saturday
Respect others, seek peace, do not be irascible. Give, help, construct; never the opposite. Turn lemons into lemonade. Hard things to do, most of the time, even more so all the time. We are so recalcitrant by nature!

Yet, our existence would be idyllic if we could manage to, at least, try to do all of the above often. ⌘ Read more

Finding little to talk about

The main problem with Jekyll is that is out of the way. Unlike other weblog engines, which are managed via the web, I come to the shell to type and process this. Perhaps I need to research a better workflow?

I am finding little to talk about lately, and that is keeping things here rather quiet. It is not only that I do not have much to write, but that when the desire arrives it gets lost in translation, mostly because of the way I have decided to handle this little space of mi … ⌘ Read more

NixOS switched to systemd
NixOS has switched from Upstart to systemd!
Systemd brings many advantages such as better dependency
management, socket-based activation of services, per-service
logging, cgroup-based process management, and much more. (Read

On AWS S3
I have moved from Linode (which I will be canceling soon) to Namecheap DNS management (I have all my domains on Namecheap) and Amazon S3. Transition went well, and painless. It should save me some money.

Nothing wrong with Linode, which I recommend to anyone looking to having their own Virtual Server. Their service rock, and their price is hard to beat. I used their services for a year and totally loved it. ⌘ Read more

Host hunting
I had had all my websites —this one, and many other test ones, etc—, plus my self-managed DNS on ServerBeach (now part of Peer1) for a very long time. They all reside on a dedicated server, which has, sadly, reached it’s end of life (EOL).

Although I can keep it as it is, doing so represents a liability problem, as I will be out of luck, should it decide to fail. The problem is, ServerBeach isn’t offering anything right now similar to the serv … ⌘ Read more

NixOS progress report

Image

NixOS is now almost usable as a desktop OS ;-). We
have an X server, a bunch of Gnome packages, basic wireless
support, and of course all the applications in Nixpkgs that we
had all along running on other Linux distributions. Here are a
few screenshots:

Too busy, too much money or…
Our College is trying to re-design. Our web manager has been assigned to some other project of more importance (Dean’s order), so he can’t tackle the conversion of the existing website to a full blown CMS driven one. Other than the locals we have seeing and sit through presentations and proposals, I sent emails –very brief ones, but to the point– to Dan Cederholm, [Dan Bejamin](http://www.hivelogic.com/ “Da … ⌘ Read more

Service deployment paper accepted for SCM-12
The paper “Service Configuration Management” (accepted at the

Subversion server) through
Nix by treating the non-component parts (such as configur … ⌘ Read more

Just about there
I know I have been writting a lot (well, not a lot, since I am holding down on writting until everything works as I want) about WP and how great it is and how happy I am to have moved away from MT, etc. I have been testing things, getting everything around to look and feel as they did a while back, when MT was still the one in command.

Now, finally, after a few weeks of trying, using the little time I have at home to work on this, I have managed to get the site to look very close to what I want … ⌘ Read more

Happy Birthday Kent Martin!
Today is Kent Martin’s third birthday. Happy Birthday Kent! It is amazing how fast the time passes, it seems it was just yesterday when he was born. In this short three years we have managed to spoil him, but no more than the normal, when we are talking about the only child of mid-thirdties aged parents. The day before yesterday was mom birthday as well, 77 years old. Happy Birthday mama!

It is over now, or it isn’t
Well, I got my car back today and it seems to be functioning all right. After this experience the only conclusion I can draw is: definitely, “Holler Mitsubishi” service completely sucks, their Service Manager does not have a slight idea on what customer service is, their mechanics — or, at least, one of them — do not know what the heck they are doing… to sum it up: do not take your car there. Trust me. I will wait one or two days, to make sure the car is fine and then I … ⌘ Read more
