Kinda want to wipe and start fresh with an XFCE-based distro instead of tacking it on to this already-bloated regular Ubuntu install.2012-07-02T08:23:28+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Wonder what I've been up to... http://ur1.ca/9okeu2012-06-30T04:45:47+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Watching a software update progress bar on one screen and a 3500-file SFTP transfer on the other... Fun times.2012-06-29T00:06:22+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Bash scripts have changed my life. Possibly the most useful thing I've ever learned.2012-06-29T05:50:29+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Since I'm redoing my prod server architecture, I figured now would be a good time to test out Varnish... I have high hopes.2012-06-29T02:44:39+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Very excited to be starting at @metalab after the weekend! Aside: the second floor looks awesome!2012-06-28T22:22:51+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Your software isn't "cross-platform" if it doesn't support Linux.2012-06-28T08:38:37+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Disabled post images, so at least the site is usable until I can get it fixed.2012-06-28T08:35:32+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
I think I'll stick to running my own servers from here on.2012-06-28T08:35:02+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
WTF, 3/4 of the database migrations are gone. So the Rackspace Cloud Files uploads are broken. Which breaks the entire site...2012-06-28T08:18:45+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Huh. So apparently Heroku just stopped working with my blog. Just died. All links dead. Weird. Hopefully I can move it all over to RS...2012-06-28T18:32:48+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Alright #yyj! Let's get our party on at... Oh. Lawn bowling, Strawberry tea... Never mind, then.2012-06-28T18:23:59+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
When jacked up on plugins, Gedit is actually a pretty decent editor.2012-06-28T06:13:49+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
My identi.ca history is pretty bad. 11 months ago: "I should use this more!" ...2012-06-28T06:10:03+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public

Funny enough, the reverse-engineered Broadcom driver works better than the official one. Limited to 5mbps, but it's stable at least.2012-06-27T19:52:47+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Dear Broadcom, you suck shit. If you're going to release a wifi driver for Linux, at least make it work. #LossOfEnjoymentOfLife2012-06-27T17:58:09+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Just wrote my first bash script! Never realized how useful this is.2012-06-27T03:43:17+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Though now that I'm on Ubuntu that should be easier with native support in the OS itself.2012-06-27T03:42:56+00:00 via Gwibber To: Public
Whoa! Redesign. Just noticed, though it's probably been like that for a while. I gotta use this thing more.
