Slightly sad to see that neither Strigi nor Beagle are maintained these days.

Submitted my first patch to LLVM!

GitHub's status page is excellent. Rather than reporting issues (many hosts are tempted to downplay issues), it simply graphs performance.

I can write half-way decent CSS these days, but the learning curve has been challenging. Programming experience simply doesn't transfer.

Ubuntu has a version specifically for China: http://t.co/WY4ZW55grc -- in this post-snowden age, I'd want my population to use F/OSS too.

"We found that using C++ instead of C results in improved software quality and reduced maintenance effort" http://t.co/SzA6i92tjK

Favour working scripts over docs for deployment. SSHing in and hacking config files comes back to bite you.

`sudo !!` is perilously close to `sudo !1`. Unix has some very sharp edges.

"All batteries die. This one truly lived!"

Impressed that digitalocean updated their blogpost to be more blunt. I wish more tech companies were like them.

commando.io looks like an excellent alternative to Rundeck if you want something clean and hosted. Still beta though.

Updating to Linux 3.12.6. Looks like several important btrfs fixes. It pays to be *really* conservative with filesystems.

Not enough apps are built with a responsiveness budget. If all apps' UIs responded in less than 200ms, the world would be better.
