You can download txtwat as self contained perl script that should run on all recent versions of perl http://mdom.github.io/txtwat.

Idea: Find a heisenbug via binary search. Insert debug instrumentation across only half the output, run, repeat. May be multicausal though.

Real world implementation: Poetry slam with helium balloon for each speaker on the mic. Once the helium voice runs out, their turn is over.

Jekyll and Git
I have been using Jekyll for a while now, but all this time I have been generating it on the server, That is, I had had a directory on the server holding the Jekyll files, in which I would run jekyll build to generate the website. Not too streamlined.

Before hosting this weblog on Vultr, I had it on GitHub, and their Pages would do the publishing for … ⌘ Read more

Gmail.app on iOS
I like Google and its services. Like is too little, I love them! Their mobile applications on the other hand — specifically those running under iOS — are horrible. The UIX is confusing and it does not follows Apple UIX design. Their choice of font is of poor taste and, again, does not match the rest of the OS. They lack of functionality and/or their functionality is limited by poor choices and, what is seems to be, a lack of common sense. I could describe and point out the problems on any of the … ⌘ Read more

Moved to a Droplet
Having wished for a while to run this little site on SSL —as well as having the freedom to do more things— which GitHub does not allow, I have finally decided to move to a virtual server of my own. At $5 a month per droplet, DigitalOcean was the provider of choice.

DigitalOcean droplets web interface is very clean, simple, responsive and functional. Spawning the server took 54 sec … ⌘ Read more

In reply to Andrei Zisu.

No you can not skip qml if you plan to use qtquick. Without qtquick you don’t get the nice animations etc. Yes you can write the business logic in some other language, but it is also possible to write it in JS instead. Especially with small simple apps is probably a good idea using … ⌘ Read more

Create files on GitHub
There is a new feautre on GitHub, and this one allows you to create files directly from the web interface. This is very handy, for those of us running Jekyll.

This is my first test of the feature, I had to try it right away. Only wishing now to have a friendlier Markdown/kramdown editor. But it’s a start. I like it! ⌘ Read more

Binary Nix tarballs available
Our continuous build system, Hydra, now produces binary\

Hello world, again!
I am starting over. I might “port” back some entries from the old weblog, but that’s pretty much it. Right now everything is in state of flux, running on a vanilla WordPress installation with a couple of plugins on. Work will progress as time permits.

There isn’t one single reason why I am starting over, but a few. Basically, the old weblog database was “dirty” with entries and rows, and tables from plugins… and god knows what other things (I ran quite a few experiments on that one) … ⌘ Read more

A busy week
It has been a busy week. On Monday classes will start and, as you can imagine, a lot of things are left to the last moment on a Campus.

The worse Web Browser
Not too long ago I was an Internet Explorer fan. The pages I went to looked fine under it, the experience seemed rich. There were no complains. Then I started fiddling with CSS and moving away from tables. I experienced the advantages of the PNG format and I loved it. I experienced functionability I never saw before. I got tired of hearing about major problems and running security updates. I got my eyes opened.

I wonder why it took that long. Perhaps Mozilla Firefox was not that polis … ⌘ Read more

WordPress and how I did it
This might as well be my last entry completely related or dedicated to WP. I am sure I will mention it here and there in the future, but it would have to be something very important for me to talk about it exclusively in one entry.

Happy Thanksgiving!
A few years ago, 383 more or less to be more precise, a bunch of british came to the now known America, running away, so to speak, from the beliefs of the Church of England, which they weren’t that happy with. The pilgrims settled on a piece of land that is now called the State of Massachusetts.

Well, I have finally moved to my own collocated server. I know you saw nothing here for a while, then you probably saw some errors and now we are finally back, running smoothly, we want to think.

Newly digital
I started using computers back in 1985. The PC’s I used were old dinosaurs, running at the blazing speeds of 2 MHz, with 640KB of RAM, no hard drive and 5” ¼ floppy drives.
